In preparation for the transition from military to civilian employment I’ve got a few questions regarding my next step. I'm a military RN and will retire in November 2020. For the past 10 years I've worked in the equivalent of military Human Resources (Education and Training). My job entails keeping track of newly and processed and out process staff, oversight of 5 Learning Management Systems (LMS) training staff on clinical and military requirements. I also managed life support training programs such as Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and Pediatric Advanced Life support (PALS). However, most of my time has been spent improving and managing the LMS systems to deliver highly accurate reports and manage staff. And I really have a strong interest in the area and developed Excel skills that are well beyond my Healthcare counterparts. My questions are “Am I really an LMS administrator? Am I a good fit for such a role in the civilian world? What do other LMS administrators do? And what is their reasonable expected pay rate? I'd love to get comments from people that are already out there, especially if you're working in the LMS or a related field.
The employer or recruiter has your resume, but still expects you to fill out a long job application, or visa versa. They have your job application, but also want a Resume or CV. Seems like its like they are checking off boxes even if the request is a waste of time for you and them. Sort of like a teacher who sends home, home work for the sake of home work. Even if its not related to the work done in class.
Keep searching and putting in applications and resumes on line not defending the company but that happened to me once many years ago company hired all these people cause they were merging or buying another company and they were just waiting for the last of the paperwork to clear to add all these jobs and they did and we worked a week and a half 2 weeks and it was my dream job on a computer inputting info into a computer tracking deliveries air conditioning u could even listen to music in your own earbuds it was a DREAM JOB and the last min it fell thru and they told us they no longer needed us and were sorry.BUT DONT GIVE UP
I now have been in the Las Vegas area going on 6 months . If I have applied to 1 job I've applied to 1000 jobs . My problem , or should I say problems is
- I've applied but never hear a response
- I get an email saying that the company moved on to other candidates , for basic jobs like data entry positions no less
- I dont know what employers want, if I never a call back . I cant even email back with a " why was I not selected"
- Even applied to temp agencies like randstad , apple one , etc and they all come back with the positions are filled or I didnt fit the " type " At this point I'll take anything. But nothing is coming through. If I dont find employment soon I'll have no choice but to go back to NY . Atleast I know the job market there and what employers will pay plus I know the cost of living . Such a shame that someone who wants to work , cant find employment. Very Disheartening . Does anyone have any ideas ? Or possible employment openings , opportunities? I can dummy down my resume if I need to , just to be able to work
is honestly so frustrating. It's like you have this resume, only for them to make you input everything all over again into their website, and then it goes into "NoWhereLand"! I have been heavily applying for almost 4 weeks now with barely any phone calls. My resume is on point, I have the education/experience but I'm stuck in limbo. Ugh. #applications #jobsearch #nowhereland
This is a good article to read. It speaks truth the chaotic cycle of recruiting.
Here are some of the biggest problems in recruiting, and recommendations for fixing them:
Job ads are ridiculous. They list endless "Essential Requirements" that few if any living people possess. To fix job ads, HR people who know the talent market should make sure that job ads are realistic and that the jobs they're hiring for pay the right amount. No job ad should ever be published unless it's based in reality. Every job ad should have a salary range in it.
Job ads are written as though their principal aim is to keep people from applying (in case they're not perfectly qualified)! Anybody who posts a job ad that refers to The Selected Candidate -- addressing prospective candidates in the third person as if to signal to them "The selected candidate couldn't possibly be you!" should not be writing job ads. The way we "invite" candidates into the hiring process is repulsive. We make them fill out online job applications loaded up with warnings about leaving any field blank or misrepresenting any tiny detail. In short, we treat job applicants like criminals. Your application process is a window to your corporate soul. To fix this enormous problem, we need to move away from Applicant Tracking Systems as a screening tool, and evaluate resumes and LinkedIn profiles instead. The way we treat candidates in the pipeline is disgraceful. Fearful HR leaders hide behind pointless and insulting pre-employment tests and questionnaires instead of reaching out and engaging with real people who could help the company thrive.
To fix the candidate-neglect-in-the-pipeline problem, every company needs to examine its recruiting process from the candidate's point of view. There are unexplained and unacceptable gaps, delays and talent-repelling steps in nearly every corporate and institutional hiring pipeline. Find and eliminate the roadblocks in yours! The way we communicate with candidates during their recruiting process is horrible. We would never treat a customer, vendor or friend of the company as badly as we treat candidates every day. We make them wait weeks between communications. We send them terse email messages with new instructions to follow and no encouragement that their efforts will be worthwhile.
To fix this problem, we need to examine our candidate communications and stop assuming that talented people will wait forever while we slog through the thousands of bureaucratic steps in our outdated recruiting systems.
Recruiting is easily the most broken corporate practice (with performance review a close second). It is shameful how badly most medium-sized and large employers treat the talented people who apply for jobs with them. If managers don't get the message, their competitors will leave them in the dust.
It's time for employers to wake up and smell the new-millennium talent market coffee. Unemployment is down. Talented candidates won't tolerate being treated like dirt anymore. Can we blame them?
