G1440 - Leaders in Staffing IT Professionals

Happy employees who enjoy coming to work and the office life that awaits them each morning are generally apart of a team that is flourishing. A positive work environment plays a big role in what can increase productivity and, in time, revenue. This kind of office setting can be created in a multitude of ways. But, at the end of the day, if your employees struggle with an unhealthy lifestyle, it can negatively impact them both in and out of the workplace.

Starting a new job is a delicate transition. I mean after all, you want to prove that you’re a “great hire”, and you will succeed. HOWEVER, it is not wise to come on too strong and come across as a “bulldog”. After all, you are new, and while you want to demonstrate determination and competency, you want to remain humble during this transition.

There a few specific things job seekers must perfect when they are on the prowl for a new career opportunity. One is your resume and the other is a LinkedIn profile. A resume and a LinkedIn profile will contain some of the same information, however, they are totally different. Use these tips to fully benefit from both these job seeker tools. They should complement each other to impress your reader. Impressing your reader will be how you score a chance for an interview.

Many managers are looking to break the ice at the beginning of an interview. The best way to do this is for them to ask an open-ended question. Those types of questions can really get a conversation flowing. The most common and easy one for a manager to ask is, “So, tell me a little bit about yourself”. Believe it or not, managers are nervous too. This question is considered “easy” and useful for getting the conversation going. The shared dialogue creates potential commonalities, and the light-hearted topics can hopefully softens everyone’s nerves.

There is no other way to say it, the job market is competitive. AND, the opportunity to interview usually doesn’t occur unless your resume spiked your reader’s interest. I am sure most of us would agree, resumes are not easy to create, but you must put forth effort to make your resume worth the read. Over the years, I have read many resumes, and it is without a doubt these “small” mistakes are what throws resumes into a   wastebasket. Unfortunately, these errors, which leave a resume above par, don’t always mean folks are not excellent employees. The truth? Hiring managers are allowed to be picky. They must be able to quickly syphon through a large volume of resumes, and these simple errors are one way for them to do it.

An interview is similar to a blind date.  Neither of you have met, but through the information you have so far, you want the face-to-face meeting.  You are both hoping that together you are a proper fit.  When meeting, focus on being a good listener.  Know what they are looking for, so you can in turn sell your attributes that match.  In both instances, everyone is usually well-mannered and on their best behavior.  Similar to a blind date.  If you are asked back a second time, it means you made a great first impression, and they want to know more about you.
