Posts on Job Interview Tips that HR won’t talk about
A beautiful gesture!
Job reference follow up
You would be surprised how many candidates unintentionally burn bridges with their references after the job was landed. Don’t think it was you? If we are not reaching out with updates to these important contacts, that bridge may be burned. Today’s post is part three in a series of three posts on the topic of handling our references: how to strengthen the bond between us the candidate and our reference.
Direct what is said in your references checks
Controlling the reference checks conversation
For most of us, the reference checks stage of a job search either scare us shitless or we don’t realize how important this step is. Depending on our personality type, we think of one of two things when it comes to reference checks.
Is your recruiter able to reach the 2 job references you provided?
How many job references should I provide?
Congrats! We landed a job offer and the hiring company is going to check your job references. Today, I want us to think about providing more than the ho-hum, standard 2-3 job references that the hiring company requested.
This interviewer is thinking, “He had the job until he asked me these candidate interview questions.”
Today’s post explains how candidates can have a great interview. The hiring manager is thinking “this candidate is the one”. Then, in the last 10 minutes, the candidate loses the job because of the candidate interview questions they asked.
When it comes to the job search
Why less is more in the job search
Yes, less is more in the job search. I know that I have been blogging about job search for close to 10 years, so in my opinion, there is obviously a lot going on. No doubt, there are a lot of steps.
Running late for an interview is never a good thing.
Interview tardiness
I recently interviewed a number of candidates and a number of them committed the sin of interview sins. Interview tardiness. Obviously, the words late and interview should never be used in the same sentence. I can fix a broken watch. I can’t fix tardy.
