I strongly agree with that. I have always taken notes.
First job went as planned. However, 30 years later, I should have realized the importance of the changes I personally needed to make.
I'm curious as to how my career would have progressed if I had stayed at my first job longer. Sometimes growing roots can be more helpful in the long run, and I find myself wondering whether a longer tenure would have helped or hindered my career.
Good work ethicsI would be an absolute excess and a great leader to have me on your team
Presenting your knowledge in a way that you show you have confidence in what you are discussing
Funnily enough, I've had an employer ask me what my favorite ice cream flavor was. It was unrelated to the role, but was used to gauge my agreeability, spontaneity, etc. (My favorite ice cream flavor is pistachio, by the way—heh!)
The two I don’t like are:
Where do you see yourself in 5 or 10 years? Especially if you’re new to the business ,or with changing company structures, restructures, and mergers. You need to have a flexible answer that allows for growth without giving specific job titles.
What’s your biggest area for improvement? I have yet to come up with a good response for this. I would suggest staying away from responses that have to do with tardiness or perfectionism.
اولاً الاحترام وعدم التحيز
Mainly culture, do they value ongoing training and recognize and advance high achievers. Do they act as one, or is everyone for himself attitude. How do they measure quality.
I normally d not think about salaries, unless the job is offered to me. I just hope that whatever salary I want will be based on my experience and knowledge. I only had three jobs in all my years of work, that should be a good negotiating point.
Nagotion is one of my stronger skills. If your the employer, you throw me that ballpark figure, and if I like it you got a deal. I've got 20 years of sales experience doing this, and I'm an employer myself now. If I interview someone, I ask this question. Think carefully about that answer.
Yes, I had this experience last year. It was a regrettable experience that I had been hired for a full time role. Yet, I didn't get the opportunity to meet the staff or the boss in person.
The company seemed to be advertising the role rather than to set an established salary amount.
Unfortuantely, I got sick. HR didn't seem to understand and refused to cover my sick leave days. Truth is, I didn't get paid at the rate that I was initially hired at either.
It seemed best to leave the company since the HR manager seemed to be creating a toxic environment without pay..
Interestingly, the HR manager quit the company shortly after I left.
Sometimes, it's not the boss that's toxic. It's the new employee that makes it toxic. An environment can't be toxic. People are either toxic or not. I found out it goes both ways two years ago. I worked for many toxic workplaces for years, but two years ago, I didn't listen to a big red flag and hired someone that's completely toxic.
I've learned through life to pause and breathe, clear my head
Me adentro en mi trabajo y si me fatigo hago un descanso con métodos de relajación
I am retired but could use extra cash.
I’m retired but need some activity and cash will be fine too.
I set a timer
set a schedule and go by it. Clock in at the correct time and out. As well as keeping an area just for work and work only.
One thing I have learned in a non working setting is the skill of patience. If you aren’t patient how are you truly present and in the moment. I always apply my patience to my daily life and work to get the job done correctly.
