Tough Job Market!
We all know that tons of people are getting laid off. That means that more, and more people are looking for the remaining jobs. The talent pool for employers is filled with qualified workers to choose from. So I ask you, "What will separate you from the bunch?"
In my opinion, with skills sets being equal, it becomes about you, your personality, your attitude. Are you presenting to an interview with a good attitude? A smile if you can? Hiring managers/recruiters are not any different than you. They will remember the person who demonstrated happiness, joy, and confidence. Show them if you are able. These attributes may be your best chance in this environment to get a job offer. #AWU #disability #jobs #interviewtips

"Interview Tip" Thank you Note
Crafting Effective Thank You Emails After Job Interviews
• Sending a thank-you email after a job interview is crucial, as 80% of hiring managers consider it a factor in candidate selection.
• The email should be concise, personalized, and reiterate your interest in the position, mentioning specific details from the conversation.
• It's essential to tailor each email to the individual interviewer, avoiding generic messages, and sending it within 24 hours of the interview.
• Include a clear subject line, appropriate greeting, and a closing that matches the interview's formality, expressing gratitude and highlighting your qualifications.
• While an email is essential, a handwritten note can be a thoughtful addition to further enhance your impression. #AWU #disability #jobs #interviewtips

"Interview Tip"
Employers are looking for employees who can switch gears when their plan or idea fails, and own up to their failure afterward.
Adaptability as an in-demand job skill — especially now as artificial intelligence is finding its way into workplaces. Are you Adaptable?
Anyone who's never wrong, or anyone who will never admit they're wrong, is going to be tough to work with. Because everyone's wrong at some point. It is what you do then. Can you then pivot from what you have been doing and figure a way to correct things? Simply put, are you Adaptable?
Here is a question you may be asked during a job interview. "Tell me a story about when you were really sure about something and found out you were completely wrong." Your response should be detailed with facts about how you pivoted and corrected things. Leave emotion out of it. #AWU #disability #interviewtips
