Have nice day!

doaster 0 #31 June 16, 2006 Lurch I will give you all the good vibes you could need, but here is something a little more practical. In my job I interview people about every other month for a position as one of my employees. So here are some tips. Be enthusiastic about the job. Be knowledgeable about the job, AND the company. Do not talk bad about your old job/boss, stay positive. Be professional and courteous and look presentable. Come prepared to ask questions about the position. For God sake take pen and paper to take notes. Have realistic questions about the job. Dont ask up front about salary. Salary/compensation are most times negotiable and realistic. Wait for a job offer to get into salary within reason. Spellcheck a resume!!!!!!!! A good job applicant is great. However, in my experience a good applicant, well prepared and ready will always win out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lurch 0 #32 June 16, 2006 Gotcha. Advice heeded, pen and paper added to gear load... Question: I've been wearing my Twin Mtn uniform shirt to various job interviews for that professional presentable appearance. Its mint condition with my name on it and ex-employer patches, standard Cintas stuff. I've been hoping to give that serious-about-it image. Am I helping or hurting myself by so doing?Live and learn... or die, and teach by example. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doaster 0 #33 June 16, 2006 Bad idea, it may give the peson the idea that your there on some other companies time and dime. Remember they don't know you yet. Let them make their impressions through information you give them. They can find out your employment history when you give it to them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lurch 0 #34 June 16, 2006 !!! OOF. Hadn't thought of that. Figured the fact that I was looking to replace an extinct employer made it ok. Wonder how many times I shot myself in the foot with that and never knew it? Glad I asked...Live and learn... or die, and teach by example. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
