Help from the Hiring Desk October 10, 2008

HELP FROM THE HIRING DESK:

Applications, Interviews, Resumes

PLUS 10 Habits that will Help (or hold you back).



A comfortable class to ask your questions and address your fear factors about the hiring process--from the employer's perspective.

Would some personal, practical "Help from the Hiring Desk" insights help ease some apprehensions, answer questions and concerns about filling out application forms, and generally feel more confident about the whole thing?

That's exactly what this class is. In my part-time corporate role in human resources, I have interviewed and hired many people. I know what employers look for. I know how to help set YOU up for success.

Some questions / topics other groups have asked include:

1. What do employers look for in a possible new employee?
2. What kinds of benefits are offered?
3. Pre-employment drug testing.
4. Pre-employment test processes.
5. If you have a criminal background, how does that inhibit your chances of getting hired?
6. What is the most important question you ask in an interview?
7. Why do employers ask: "Where do you see yourself in five to ten years?" What is the correct answer to this?
8. How picky are employers about missing information on applications and words spelled incorrectly?
9. Your sample application has a section in the middle about race and how you were referred. How does the company use that information?
10. If you have been let go from a job, how do you explain that on an application when it asks "reason for leaving"?
11. What kind of reference does a company give when a potential employer calls to do a reference check?

What are YOUR questions? Bring them along.



This class is available for high school and university student groups also. Make your request here. Set yourself up for success. I help you do that.
