Before your next interview, spend a little time gathering the information that is required on most job applications. Job applications are typically handed out during a face-to-face interview. The hiring manager is responsible for getting this information quickly back to human resources. Because of this, make sure you can quickly give them what they need. Nothing is more unimpressive than a potential employee who spends days turning in a job application. Keep the process moving forward by having the information in hand.
Key information to bring with you to an interview: dates of past employment, past salary, reason for leaving these positions; driving and professional licenses or certifications; reference names and contact information.
With the downturn in jobs, many of us are turning to employment agencies, help want ads, and the internet to find jobs. While these sources are definitely an important part of the job hunt, another source of hope is the people around you. Difficult as it may be, it is important to reach out to others during this time.
Making contact with at least ten different people each day will help you land your next job. These contacts don’t have to be hiring managers or human resource directors. By letting your pastor, friends and acquaintances know what type of job you are seeking, you will increase your chances of getting it. Don’t be afraid to ask your buddy to give your resume to their boss or HR department. Companies love inside referrals.
Can you find me a job? This is one of our most frequently asked questions. With the job market tight right now, job seekers are searching for many different ways to find out about open positions.
Recruiters working for executive search firms are typically paid by employers to find candidates with specific qualifications for particular jobs. Because of this, executive search firms concentrate on finding candidates with specific skill sets. Submitting your resume to an executive search firm puts you in a position to be potentially recruited for their open opportunities. However, most executive search firms do not allocate resources to find people jobs.
While a recruiter’s job is not specifically designed to find a candidate employment, networking with recruiters can still open up many doors for the jobseeker. If a recruiter contacts you about a potential job opportunity, spend time with them to find out more about their opening. It just might move your career to the next level. We invite you to submit your resume and network with our recruiters through Linked In.
You have heard the term “job hopper” used for many years. It is a name given to people who switch jobs often. But who is considered a job hopper in today’s world and has the term changed recently due to the economy and recent job losses.
Over the past ten years recruiters typically use a general rule of thumb when considering job stability. The rule of thumb is no more than three jobs in ten years. If you have had more than three jobs in ten years then additional information is necessary to find out the reasoning behind the job changes.
With the recent lay-offs experienced in every industry, this rule of thumb is not as crucial as it has been in the past. However, it is still important for jobseekers to be able to provide documentation to potential employers if it is requested. If you are being downsized, remember to ask your employer for a letter explaining that this was not due to poor performance.
