Are you searching
for a Job?
Let me share some tips.
Think like an Employer – Know what they think an ideal candidate
looks like.
● Collaborative
● Can Handle Stress & Ambiguity
● Dependable
● Trustworthy
● Motivated to Work with others
We can help you think like an Employer!
Know what they look for on your resume.
● Your resume is your ticket to an interview where you can sell yourself!
●
If employers have 100 resumes to screen for 1 nanny job, how do they
sort them into one of 3 boxes A – B – C?
|
A
Meets all criteria |
B
Meets some |
C
Meets none |
What box do you want to be in? How do you get there?
Know what interview questions you will be asked.
●
Some employers will ask you questions like “tell me about yourself”.
So, prepare your 1-minute elevator speech – Cover the highlights of
your resume and tie your accomplishments to the job you’re seeking.
Write it down and practice, practice, practice!
●
Other employers will ask you behavioral questions – Looking for
examples of times when you have done things like you’ll do on the
job. For example, “Tell me about how you’ve coached another person
to become more successful.”, “Give me an example of what you have
done to earn others’ trust?”
●
Then, think about your responses and the key points that you want to
make. Think about your past jobs, experiences, and achievements. Be
direct and be honest. Don’t “fake-it” or exaggerate – Give examples
from your past work experiences that specifically tell:
What you did
How you did it
What were your results
●
When asked a question, if you have a blank stare and make no
response, you will not make a favorable impression
We can help you prepare for your Interviews
Most of all – Have a positive attitude.
● If you were an employer, conducting an interview, and the candidate began to say negative things about there last employer or negative things about other people or describing their failures – What box would you put them in -A – B – C – Why?
● How would you answer this question in a positive way? “Describe the most difficult person that you have worked with”? “Why”?
We can help you – Be Prepared – Be Professional – Be Positive
If you want to be a step ahead of the competition during your job search – Think like an employer looking for a person they can trust to do there job:
●
Develop a Professional Resume
●
Prepare for your Interview
●
Be Positive
MCRA would like to help you prepare and seek the right job for you.
