How long have you been out of the work force, and it doesn't matter how long you are out of the work force because you do have skills, did you work before and even though you a at home wife or mother, it doesn't matter, get you a piece of paper, sit on your bed or at your table and write down what you did on your last job or jobs, and what you do at home, I guarantee you, you will see all the experience that you have and then some. The only thing is when you go out there to find a job, you have to sell yourself. Before you go out that door to go to an interview or fill out an application, I know you have mirrors in your home, stand in front of one of them mirrors and say to yourself or out loud, "I may have been out of the work force for sometime," but guess what, I'm better than anybody else that is coming to get this or any other job." Own that job that you are going for, because when you own it, it becomes yours!! :))
I'm telling you the truth...
THOUGHT: There are no two interviewing sessions alike. That's a fact!
SITUATION: One session could possibly end with very little interaction between you and the interviewer or the script could flip. An experience interviewer could do a brief recap of some points that he found sensitive in nature and mention your responses, and offer some TIPS. Or he could move in a different direction, everything is at his discretion.
5 - UNDENIABLE TIPS TO CONSIDER:
- Be mindful of what he's saying.
- Be attentive and make eye contact.
- Be cognizant of his body language.
- Be responsive and not reactive
- Be courteous and respectful.
Second chances are rare, however, if a position should open in the near future, let your conduct speak for itself.
I Believe You Can...!
I'm soooo tired of putting apps online and no one calls you back. What's the point? It's really frustrating to get no feed back on any of them. I have valid driver's license, no bad background, Clean system. So what's the problem employers?
it is a great place to work. i really love my lob.
I have read many rejection letters over the years while looking for jobs, and I was thinking, wouldn't it be great to know the REAL reason that those resumes were not being considered for the position? Has anyone ever had the guts to reach out and ask why their resume wasn't considered? I think feedback is so important and I wish I had asked for more of it. I think maybe I was too scared of rejection at that time.
I recently had a phone interview with a large health insurance. I received an email that I was not being moved forward in the position. I replied back for specifics as to why so I can either correct the problem to improve my odds or make an decision to apply or not. I don't believe that is too much to ask. Their response was that they cannot provide specifics. I responded that I need specifics so I don't waste both our time applying.
I applied for a job that is in a way what I do now but with more hours and benefits. I hadn't heard from them in a month since I took the test they require and assumed somebody else got hired or they just weren't interested. I was wrong and got some feed back to go to the next process level. Wish me luck and cross your fingers for me please. This is a great career move job with excellent retirement.
i would like to get some feedback on my profile; job search is going very slow and want to see if it my be my profile/resume. thanks
I’ve been asked to provide feedback on an ongoing team project involving some very egocentric coworkers and I don’t know how to accomplish this without creating workplace enemies!
I suggest people really leave politics out of the workplace. But as we enter a crazy election year - I am wondering what stories, advice, or guidance you have about Politics and jobsearch, or politics and worklife in general......
Know your 'STUFF'. I have found many HR people are relatively clueless about the full aspect of what you try to get across to them. They are very complacent. Many have been in the same position for a long time. They act like robots. Two dimensional thinkers. No grey matter in the middle. This is wide spread.
