A Tale of Job Seeking and the “Operations Manual” Manuals

Tuesday, January 26th, 2010

Its all a very different question in interviews – yet to the greatest extent that “management” is interviewing you for employment and the job on hand – you on the reverse end are interviewing management.  The question is do you really want to invest your time and energy in that firm or organization to begin with.

The example was given of a young graphic artist – who for no reason of his own ended up on the jobless rolls.  This future employee had a young daughter to support. At least he had the good sense to go out and pound the pavement to get any income what so ever.

First interview at a big box store.  A slew of interviews and process.  The big operations manual.  The first question and alert might of well been – why such a need to hire if after all it was such a good place to work. And such rigidity – a slave to the operations manuals.  Not good signs of a good employer or bosses.

Next in line was a local donut shop.  The key question was asked “How long do you plan on working here?”.  The answer “until I get a better job”  ended the interview on the spot.

Never mind what the average length of employment in the firm was – and perhaps here was solid management potential as well – or perhaps a threat to management’s positions.

Lastly the job seeker searched in his trade where his skills were appreciated and noted.  The question was “Can you start Monday ?”  That in the end was the story.

Job Security for the Masses

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

Is today’s work world any different in any manner shape or form ?  No business is expected or can be expected to provide job guarantees , that is unless one is employed by a government department.  After all the late president Ronald Reagan had a statement that “nothing is as permanent as a government department.”   Yet even in the auto union trade , the auto maker union heads have found that their “demands”  of job security for their members has even fallen on increasingly deaf ears.   Has the labor marketplace changed , are our expectations as workers and employees , and that of employers changed in one giant paradigm shift in the last number of years and in our epoch of time and employ as well as employment ?

Immigrants and their Skill Sets to the Canadian Labour Marketplace

Thursday, October 29th, 2009

Immigrants themselves are being lured to our Canadian Provinces and cities have made great welcome amongst cultural support groups only in many cases.  Often these fine people have their hopes dashed at being turned away from working within their professional credentials are deemed unsuitable or unverifiable when compared to Canadian equivalents.  It might be said that their Canadian work experience as well as experiences are deemed  to be limited and still limited.  Having a foreign language accent never seems to help anyways and as well.

It is sometimes said and seen that overall that these immigrants job transfers to bigger centers to key leadership positions  just disappears up the chimney in smoke.  Lastly it can be said that many more than qualified individuals  are sometimes , and some of the time appear to be tarnished by a broad brush being given sometimes negative stereotypes without even being a hint of a chance.

Basio Letter Types in Communication for Job Openings

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

It can be best and easiest said that the “job letter family” is easier and easiest to understand if the grouping is made simply into 2 basic sections and setups

1) Reactive Job Letters

- letters in this grouping are written when you know a job opening exists.  These are termed reactive letters

2) Proactive

- action letters that truly start and initiate leads

letters in this set are written in the hopes that inquiries  as well as other steps will bring about a possible job opening

You might well term these – initiates  or startup letters

lastly also in this category can be termed and included “thank you ” letters and notes as well as other letters that are really not essentially required but that a person as a job seeker writes as a means of following up on leads and other potential job and career openings as well as opportunities

Delicate Situations in Job Interview Situations

Sunday, January 4th, 2009

There can be any number of what might be called “delicate”  or “indiscreet” situations in job interviews.

Preparation is important although obviously you cannot predict all situations that may occur.  Very good or not so good interviewers may have the skills of   perhaps a gestapo officer.

They may uncover initiators that you may not be the most comfortable with handling, or have never though of since and long forgotten or some issue or event that your purposely and consciously forgot or put behind you long ago.

Among the most standard or even common questions that may come up in the course of a standard job or employment interview or interviews include:

- You have periods of long unemployment in your work history or histories

- You went to college or university and did not earn or complete your degree or course of studies

- The three or four most recent jobs on in your work history bear little resemblance or relation to one anther or the job position’s that you are currently applying for

- None of the specific jobs described in your resume or cover letter are directly related to the position / positions to which you are applying for/

Strategies to Help Employ in Dealing with Employment and Skill Weaknesses

Monday, November 17th, 2008

Thus covered are some of the main as well as major strategies that can be employed by a job seeker or employment seekers that can be employed or “used” to help you field questions and survive potential damage that may reduce your chances of successful employment or even derail your chances of being awarded employment or even an interview at all.  It is often said that by interview screeners that there are two job piles and no shortage whatsoever for candidates for “good jobs”.  Pile one is those of interest – everyone else and any “troublemakers” or any spot on their characters or history , even as small as shoplifting , are immediately and even automatically placed in pile number 2 which is nothing more than the garbage or even unceremoniously a trash can.

Everything in life is sales,marketing and communication so to speak.  If the whole approach is done in an honest and sincere approach to gain employment and be a productive member of the company , firm or organization’s team this is not misrepresentation or even lying – it is putting the best food forward and in the process even demonstrating your skills, thoroughness , preparation and determination. All very positive traits that not only hard to come by for employers in people they hire but also rather rare.

Job Hunting as In life is Understanding and Playing by the Rules

Thursday, October 4th, 2007

There is one thing that is certain in this uncertain world. You may well be confused about job hunting. You may well be frustrated. You should have an insight and an understanding concerning the process of job hunting and seeking employment – on a regular basis not just as if you were serving time.

In getting jobs as in life there is no easy way. It is not a matter that you can be a big overbearing buffoon who intimidates people. It won’t last long and there you will be yet again. If you have not been winning , been a loser – it either means that you do not understand the rules or perhaps you are too dim witted to ever understand the rules. So goes life and thus so goes your life onwards.
