Job interview insight, 2 recruiters candid conversation

Job interview insight, 2 recruiters candid conversation Job Interview Insight Job interview insight. Pulling back the curtain to see what really happens behind the scenes. Job Interview Insight I just had drinks with a couple of great friends/colleagues. Halfway through the conversation I literally burst out with a F me, I’m a dumbass! I wish I had recorded this conversation, this would make a great blog post!” I immediately pulled out my phone and started taking notes in an attempt to capture this job interview insight. The two friends consisted of an executive recruiter who I will refer to as Grumpy Old Man (GOM). GOM  is the founder of a successful recruiting firm and has a ton of insight into the recruiting process. The other guy is a VP of HR colleague who I have known for 15 years. My Boy  hasn’t had to look for a job in over a decade  because jobs have always come to him but he now  finds himself in the job hunt after his last company was sold. He has worked in Fortune companies and boutique brokerages. His presentation layer says modern, smart, new school HR. The conversation that took place  was between three colleagues sharing job interview insight on the hiring process. It started with making the use of local job search sites like this one that lists job to a specific geo. BuiltInBoston.com  is easy to use one that happens to target the Boston job market.The conversation was centered around the  nuance of the job hunt that you just won’t hear outside of folks working in HR and recruiting and I thought it would make a great post. Below are the nuggets: Game Rep Situations GOMs biggest job interview insight was Game Rep Situations. He explained that if you haven’t interviewed in a long time, then you should try to  take interviews for the game situation practice. I explained that I had sat down with our Boy  and we went through mock interviews, he responded with,  â€œThose are not game situations. Game situations are 4th and 1 on the goal line. They are bases loaded, 9th inning situations. Mock interviews are not game situations because they are not real. We need repetitive practice in-game situations so that when the real interview comes, we are ready and prepared.” I completely agree, a few mock interview questions does not a real interview make. Even if you are not interested in the position, take the interview so you can have real game experience. Be Memorable “Get in front of recruiters and paint your memorable picture.    Make it specific and be memorable.” In this instance we mean specificity, be specific about who you are and what you are looking for. GOM explained that we should meet the top 3-4 HR recruiters in town for networking meetings. In no more than 30 minutes paint a very memorable picture of who we are and what we do. This would not include “I am a hard worker, I am trustworthy and I have 5 years of experience with industry certifications”. Everyone says that shit and it is too generic. Specifically, he said we sit down with a pitch outlined here (logic in parenthesis): The Pitch “For the first time in a long time I find myself in the job market and you are the first person I thought about contacting. (You are smart, trustworthy and obviously well-connected. Kiss up / flattery never hurts) I am being selective about my search and believe I have a very specific sweet spot. (Showing we are not desperate and not going to take just anything) I am looking for a growing company. An example of growth for me is a company that recently released a product and now is worrying about scaling the company. This company would probably be doing between $100K and $5M a year in revenue, have between 30 to 80 employees and also have plans to scale. They probably need to roll out a 401K, benefit plan, put in a onboarding, and start hiring. Although I can think strategically, I want to roll up my sleeves and get dirty. I have a lot of experience with larger companies but I found that I had the most fun and thrived in smaller fast-moving companies that were entrepreneurial. The point of this is that when THIS specific opportunity comes up, our boy is the first person this recruiter thinks of. He does NOT want to be called for just any opportunity; he wants to be called for THE opportunity. Being specific makes it very easy to be memorable. Which leads us to the next point. If you just want a job I dont want to rep you Per the above, GOM doesnt want to represent any  candidate that  says “Just find me a job” and is not specific about their needs or wants. Being specific and passionate about a role is easy for him to sell. No one wants to hire blasé’. Hiring managers want to hire perfect matches and this means that the candidates skills and desires meet the hiring managers job description and culture. Can you get along? “If you make it past the first phone screen you are qualified. After that, it is just a matter of degrees on the technical side and then 80% personality/chemistry.”  80% of the hiring decision after this first interview is based on personality and culture fit. Can I work with you? This is all about the warm and fuzzy. The example was given: We can see the hottest woman out there, we can land a date because our dating profiles match up (resume and job description), we are everything she is interested in, but sometimes there is just NO chemistry. It sucks because she is beautiful, but if there isn’t any chemistry it wont  work out and we need to move on. Multiple resumes for different angles If you only have 1 resume, the chances of your resume being a perfect fit for a specific job is slim to none. Tailor your resume to the specific job.  Our boy wants a specific job with a specific profile, but if he wanted to create few different options, he just needs to have multiple resumes.  Since he wants to work for a growing company, he should tailor his resume so that his accomplishments  show  fast growth projects and dedication through long hours.  But if he wants to create other interview opportunities, with different sized companies his resume should be tailored to these types of job descriptions. More info here. You are qualified for the job.    Are you qualified to sell yourself? Just because you are qualified for the job isnt enough. We need to sell ourselves. The candidate that is qualified but doesn’t know how to sell him or herself will take longer to land a job than the candidate who is underqualified but does know to sell themselves and make it through the interview. Overcome your stereotype, and yes you have one Our boy has big company corporate written all over his resume but  he wants to get back to the small company gig. His presentation layer says big company sophisticate. We KNOW that anyone that looks at his resume is going to think “This guy is a corporate HR guy and not going to fit into our fast-moving, entrepreneurial, Agile environment”. To overcome this unspoken stereotype, he needs to break it down and call out the elephant in the room early in the interview and reinforce the idea throughout the interview. Early in the interview, he needs to say, “I am confident that you reviewed my resume and are thinking this guy is probably qualified, but comes from a large company corporate background and won’t fit in here. We move too fast for him, we work longer hours and any one person at this level can cripple the company with the wrong decision. I want to say that I have worked in a smaller company and can’t wait to get back. I tried the large company and I tried the smaller company.  Here is why I want to get back to the small company. We move faster, I worked 10 hours a day to help make these quicker iterations. I can make real change and have a real impact. Decisions matter and consequently everybody in the room needs to be making a solid contribution. There is no room for slackers. I blogged about stereotypes and racism  here. Be yourself You have got to be yourself. If you are someone else in the interview (the nice guy on a first day) then you are selling a different product. We won’t be able to keep that persona up if we are hired and we will eventually fail. Be yourself. This way the true you will be hired and it will be easy to enjoy the job when we are hired. Dont leave a meeting without getting a name You don’t leave a meeting without asking “do you have any recommendations as to who else I should be talking with? Any non-traditional contacts or venues I should be looking to?” Dont interview with 10 companies Pick 3 and focus on them. Be discriminating with your search. The Seattle job market is very hot. It is not unusual for developers to have multiple companies courting them. GOM had a candidate who refused to do the tech exercise. This candidate was talking with 10 other companies! I immediately shook my head in disgust. What is this guy doing talking with 10 companies? Pick 3 companies that you REALLY like and only talk with three. Concentrate on these three and put all your effort into these three. You will get a better offer. If you don’t like the offer or they don’t pan out, then go onto the next three. The way to THE BEST offer is to give the companies the attention they deserve. We won’t be able to give them the proper research, love, thank you notes, schedules, etc. Telling the recruiter you are interviewing with 10 companies sends the sign that we are amateurs. It states you are going after the company that is offering the most. Recruiters want to hear you are purposeful. I am being very selective with my search and ONLY interviewing with 2 other companies because of X and Y”. Quality, not Quantity. It was a great time catching up and even I gained some job interview insight. Hopefully, this helped you as well. See you at the after party, HRNasty nasty: an unreal maneuver of incredible technique, something that is ridiculously good, tricky and manipulative but with a result that can’t help but be admired, a phrase used to describe someone who is good at something. “He has a nasty forkball.

The Importance of Technical Writing on Resume

The Importance of Technical Writing on ResumeTechnical writing on resume is not a popular job-hunting skill. The term itself does not imply that writing resumes is a difficult skill to learn. However, people who have written a number of resumes can attest to the fact that such skills can be very challenging. Even the most seasoned writers may struggle when they first try to write technical resumes.Technical writing on resume is perhaps one of the most in-demand skill sets in the world of business today. The simple reason is that no matter how technologically advanced a company has become, a resume still needs to be formatted to reflect the company's goals and ideals. Technical writing on resume is therefore an essential skill to have when trying to land a well-paying job.To begin with, you need to know exactly what technical writing entails before you decide to hire a professional resume writer. The idea is to get your resume down to the bare essentials - and then use that format on all your applications.Many people get confused between technical resumes and technical content resumes. Both have the same basic premise: prepare your resume based on the requirements of the employer, but ensure that the resume makes sense to the reader.Many people assume that technical content resumes are more difficult to write than technical resumes. But the truth is that technical content resumes are not nearly as difficult to write as technical resumes, even for people who have little or no prior experience at writing technical resumes. The only difference between the two types of resumes is that technical content resumes have more complex information and require specialized formatting.Technical writing on resume can help you land the job of your dreams. First, technical writing requires good grammar and spelling skills. It is easy to slip up and make a mistake in the technical writing on resume field - but in the technical writing field, such slip ups do not matter, because yo u are focusing on making sure that the information you provide is accurate and informative. A technical writer, therefore, will usually do a great job helping you make sure that the resume is a success.In addition, a technical resume is generally easier to read. This is due to the fact that the technical resumes are very long and detail oriented, which makes them perfect for shorter attention spans. Thus, technical resumes do not require much knowledge on the part of the reader - and that makes them much easier to read and understand.Finally, the technical resume is much easier to customize. Unlike technical content resumes, the information contained in a technical resume is not standardized, and thus each company's resume format is different. Therefore, technical resumes do not require the same amount of time and research as a typical technical resume.

Job Seekers How Do You Measure The Effectiveness Of A Job Board

Job Seekers How Do You Measure The Effectiveness Of A Job Board As we mentioned in last weeks blog, there are lots of things to consider when choosing a job board to use during your job search but did you know there are also lots of things you need to consider when deciding whether to stick with that job board? You see, just because youve chosen to use a particular jobs board, it doesnt necessarily mean you have to stick with your decision and it certainly doesnt mean that your chosen job board is guaranteed to be effective and to work for you! Just like anything else in life, different things work for different people so just because a jobs board works well for your friend or a jobs board works well  at the beginning, it doesnt mean its going to be great choice long-term and its worth sticking with. When it comes to assessing the effectiveness of a job board, there are a few questions you need to ask yourself. 1. Does It Do What It Says On The Tin? Looking for digital jobs and signed up with a jobs board that specialises in digital vacancies but that doesnt actually have any digital jobs on it when you visit? Uh-Oh!  If the jobs board doesnt do what it says it does, its telling porkies and its of no use to you   so Id ditch it sooner rather than later! On the other hand, if it does have digital vacancies but none in your area or your niche Id urge you to be patient! Trust me the number and the type of jobs that are advertised on a job board changes every day so I wouldnt ditch a job board just because no jobs have come up yet which match your criteria. 2. How Good Is Their Communication? If youve signed up for job alerts but received none, despite the fact youve seen new jobs come onto the board which match your criteria, youve got an issue again! This suggests the job board isnt set up properly and means you could miss out on the perfect opportunity! 3. How Easy Is It To Apply For Vacancies? As we mentioned in last weeks blog, user experience is really important when it comes to job boards so generally, the easier it is to apply for vacancies, the more effective the board should be. Going back to the communications point for a minute; you also need to consider what kind of confirmation messages the job board sent to you when youd completed simple tasks like applying for a job or uploading a CV. Whats that? You didnt get any? Now, this isnt a major problem but it is a courtesy thing particularly when confirming a job application which can help to put your mind at rest that the application has been received. In terms of hearing back from jobs youve applied for, this is a tricky one because theres actually nothing a job board can do about this. All the job board does is provide a platform for the application to be sent through to the recruiter and then its up to the recruiter to contact you or not contact you. That said; it might be annoying when you dont hear back from jobs youve applied for, but its not something you can attribute to the job board and its overall performance the problem lies with the recruiter! 4. How Useful Is The Information They Supply? Does the job board have a blog full of useful job seeker tips and hints (a bit like this one!)? If so, how easy is it to find and how often is it updated? The more often, the better. When using a job board, you also need to consider how often they spam you with newsletters/updates and whats in them. How useful and helpful is the information in these newsletters?  The more relevant and helpful, the more effective and useful the job board overall. 5. Would You Recommend It To A Friend? As any brand knows, reputation goes a long way and the same can be said with a job board. If a friend of yours was looking for a similar position, ask yourself if youd recommend the job board in question. If the answer is no, ask yourself why and then consider whether its worth you  continuing to use it. So there you go; five key questions to ask when assessing the effectiveness of a job board. Disagree with any of my points or think Ive missed something out? Leave me a comment below.

Job Searching with an Imperfect Past or Criminal Record

Employment Searching with an Imperfect Past or Criminal Record Employment Searching with an Imperfect Past or Criminal Record Employment Searching with an Imperfect Past or Criminal Record In the event that organizations you meet with don't go through Google to burrow soil about you, they're idiotic. A valid example: The FBI raged into a Massachusetts business as of late to capture a representative who was evidently enveloped with a medication dissemination plot. Nobody in the workplace saw it coming-particularly the business. Be that as it may, the story shows signs of improvement. The business presented a vocation promotion on fill the position, found an affable applicant, checked the references she gave, and employed her. Three days after the recently recruited employee began, HR did a Google search on her name and found she additionally had a spat with the law-a reality she'd fail to make reference to. She was terminated that day. I'm not catching this' meaning to you? I've cautioned work searchers to watch their Facebook and MySpace profiles cautiously and make a point to conceal anything they don't need managers to see. Be that as it may, I'm worried about the possibility that that with regards to normal ol' web search tools, there are a few things you can't stow away (like a criminal record). My own and expert guidance? On the off chance that you have a criminal past that anybody can discover from a basic web search, the best thing you can accomplish for your vocation (and your future boss) is to bring it up in the meeting. What would it be advisable for you to state? The rule is equivalent to for introducing any possibly negative data to a business: Portray the circumstance quickly and genuinely. Clarify what you have done to address the issue. Promise them that there is no danger of comparative issues later on the off chance that they should recruit you. Divert the discussion back to your capabilities for the activity. Genuineness can go far for your situation for work, and may abstain from having the business overcompensate later on the grounds that they got some answers concerning it all alone. Need to find out about taking care of criminal records in a prospective employee meet-up? Look at this meeting guide for ex-guilty parties. What do you think? Is it better to trust they never uncover the soil, or lay everything out in a meeting?

6 top phone interview questions and how to answer them

6 top telephone inquiries questions and how to answer them You've placed your resume in for an employment opportunity, and now you have your first nibbleâ€"a telephone meet. The telephone meet doesn't occur in each application/talk with process, yet you may experience it for two reasons: googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-promotion 1467144145037-0'); }); You're right now far away from the recruiting company.The organization needs to do a fundamental meeting to check whether they need to acquire you for an increasingly customary plunk down interview.Either way, the telephone meet is likely an antecedent to a physical gathering, before critical time and assets are contributed. The fundamental objective of a telephone meet is for the most part to check whether you meet certain necessities and would probably be a solid match for the activityâ€"or possibly for the following round. On the off chance that an organization has a ton of extraordinary on-paper candidates for a solitary position, telephone interviews are an appro ach to limit the applicant pool to the most suitable people.How is a telephone talk with different?There's the undeniable configuration distinction, first off. Rather than genuinely sitting up close and personal with somebody, shaking hands, and having the option to peruse non-verbal communication signs, you're perched without anyone else and have no face to face contact or perceivability with the individual talking you. That can be an advantage (it's the one meeting you can go to in your night robe! Except if it's a Skype meet), yet in addition a downside. You're in somewhat of a void, depending on your conversational aptitudes regardless of anything else to get you through to the following round.Also, while an in-person meet is for the most part with the recruiting director for your position, that may not be valid for a telephone meet. You might be conversing with a Human Resources agent or even an enrollment specialist. It's critical to know in advance the individual with whom yo u'll be talking, so you can adjust your answers as needs be. In the event that it's an enrollment specialist or HR individual, you can be somewhat more broad. In the event that it's the recruiting chief, you ought to be progressively point by point about your capabilities in the particular field, with bare essential details.How to get ready for your telephone interviewAlthough you don't have to prepare your meeting outfit or work on your handshake, you can at present work on your talking and listening skills.Make sure your voice is quiet, certain, and conversational. On the off chance that it encourages you to call another person first (like a companion or a relative) directly before the meeting to get into conversational mode, do it. Anything that comforts you and prepares you to discuss yourself unquestionably is acceptable. In the event that it assists with sprucing up in your typical meeting garments to get into that mode, go for it.Be sure that when you're talking, your voice i s additionally warm and conversational. Some portion of the motivation behind the telephone meet is (how about we be obtuse here) to check that you're, well, interviewable. You need to appear to be inviting and able; if your voice is focused or your tone is cool, the questioner may think there are some warnings hiding underneath your words.As for your listening abilities, you won't have the benefit of doing the head gesture + keen I'm tuning in face, so it's critical to ensure the questioner realizes you're tuning in. Ensure you're permitting the individual to complete the process of talking before you answer, and don't feel like you have to fill in a nutshell quiets with apprehensive chatter.Before your telephone meet, get your work done on the organization, the activity, and the questioner oneself, if conceivable. Set out to really utilize those Google following abilities with the goal that you comprehend who's on the opposite finish of the telephone. The magnificence of the telep hone meet is that you can have notes directly before you, without the questioner realizing you have a den sheet of insights concerning the organization, or the ideas about your resume that you need to emphasize.And ultimately, not long before the meeting, ensure you're settled in a calm spot where you can lead your telephone meet in harmony, without any interferences. This guidelines out occupied open places, or home if things are riotous with kids, pets, encompassing clamor, etc.The talk with questionsNow that you're prepared for the meeting, what would you be able to anticipate from the meeting itself? We've assembled probably the most well-known telephone inquiries questions, and how to approach them.Tell me about yourself.This one is consistently precarious, regardless of what the meeting group is. What's more, given that the telephone meet is likely a starting meeting, you can presumably anticipate that this one should spring up. An open-finished inquiry is troublesome in light of the fact that it's everything on you. Try not to go excessively expansive hereâ€"the questioner isn't keen on your third grade spelling honey bee triumph or your preferred network show. Cutoff your response to a couple of feature focuses about your expert vocation, particularly those pertinent to the activity for which you're meeting. A lift contribute comes helpful here, in light of the fact that it covers applicable elevated level information that works pleasantly for an enlighten me regarding yourself.Example: I as of late graduated with my unhitched male's in bookkeeping, and I'm prepared to interpret my entry level position with Prestigious Financial Firm and my solid bookkeeping abilities into the subsequent stages of my career.What intrigued you about this activity/company?This is the place your pre-talk with inquire about proves to be useful here, on the grounds that your activity posting on TheJobNetwork coordinated my catchphrase search is definitely not an extraordina ry answer. Rather, talk around one of your objectives that this activity would assist you with accomplishing or notice something you truly like about the organization. Also, recollect: regardless of whether this is your fantasy employment or one of handfuls for which you conveyed your resume, clarify that this activity is an open door you would not like to miss. The more explicit and bona fide your answer sounds, the better.Example: I'm prepared for the following level in my profession, so I was eager to locate this opening in X Corp's business division. It's an amazing chance, and I know my abilities and experience would be a decent fit.Tell me about your current/latest job.Like the inform me concerning yourself question, don't get sucked away from any confining influence endedness of this inquiry. The questioner isn't really intrigued by all of your every day errands, contemplations, and feelings about the work. Rather, center around the pieces of your activity that relate most le gitimately to the activity you need, and feature the accomplishments.Example: I work straightforwardly with customers to arrange requests and shipments. For instance, I as of late onboarded a pristine customer, and we had the option to get them ready for action with no break in sales.Why are you leaving your job?Part of the telephone talk with process is getting rid of individuals who set off starting warnings, or are anything but a solid match for this specific employment or organization. They need to know you're not a flight hazard or incapable to fill in as an individual from a group. So this inquiry is entirely famous in meetings of assorted typesâ€"particularly a starter telephone meet. The appropriate response shouldn't concentrate a lot on what disappoints you about your present place of employment (like my manager is a micromanager or my activity is exhausting and I need to have a go at something different). Rather, accentuate your objectives and this new position itself.And on the off chance that you got terminated or left under not-incredible conditions, don't freeze. Likewise don't lie, particularly if the explanation you were terminated will come up in a record verification or in a discussion with your references. Casing it as a learning experience. Furthermore, certainly talk about your significant takeaway from the experience, and how you've utilized that to beat your difficulties and become a superior professional.Example: I've taken in a lot in my present position, yet I feel like there wasn't sufficient space to develop and create as much as I'd like. It helped me realign my objectives and make sense of that I need an occupation that is increasingly centered around client service.Do you have any inquiries for me?In a telephone talk with, this is your opportunity to do some additional exploration, particularly in case you're chatting with somebody other than the recruiting chief (who might probably deal with the following round meeting). You're not prone to get open bits of knowledge like, I figure this organization makes a lousy showing with work-life balance, however you can at any rate hear some on-the-record thoughts and data from somebody firmly identified with the organization. Consider it a touch of expert sneaking around that can assist you with planning for the following stage in case you're offered an in-person interview.Examples:What characteristics are you searching for in candidates for this position?What are the open doors for headway in this position?How does this organization give worker feedback?Why is the individual who last held this activity leaving?What is the most testing part of this specific job?A telephone meeting may not be the primary meeting in your recruiting procedure, yet it's such a significant initial step, that it ought to be dealt with just as genuinely as some other sort of meeting. Ensuring you're arranged and understanding what your course of action is will assist you with being progr essively loose and prepared to respond to any scrutinize that comes your direction.
