A Successful Phone Interview Can Take You To The Next Round

Posted on by TheHeadhunter

A phone interview has the purpose to ask the candidate to come to the company’s headquarters for an in-person interview. Companies also use the term phone screens because the purpose of the interview is to screen multiple candidates to identify the ones compatible with the job. Usually, from 3 to 5 candidates make it through the phone interview and participate in the next round.

A phone interview lasts between 10 and 30 minutes, and its goal is to confirm your compatibility with the job position.

So how can you ace an interview?

Research

Knowledge about the company is useful for both a phone interview and an in-person one. When you read the job posting, note the requirements you meet, the ones you don’t, and the ones you exceed.

Check the company’s website and LinkedIn profile to find out information about the brand and to check all their job openings. Google the company to read the latest news. Have some questions prepared to ask if the interviewer offers the opportunity, to show them you’re interested in the job.

Prepare answers for common questions

All phone interviews include a set of common questions, so ensure you’re ready to answer them. The interviewer will check if you meet the basic requirements for the job, and then will ask questions about yourself and your current job. Make a list of common questions phone interviews contain, and answer them in advance.

Listen carefully to what they ask

If you listen carefully to the questions they ask, you’ll be able to answer effectively. Don’t interrupt them, and don’t make assumptions on what you think they may ask. Ask for clarification when you don’t understand and ensure you offer the appropriate answer.

During the phone interview, focus your entire attention to the questions they ask, and ask your own to find out more about the job and company.

Pay attention to voice and language

Your voice is the only power you have during the phone interview. Speak clearly, smile and use a positive language. Don’t speak negatively about your former jobs, or about people you previously collaborated with. Smile during the phone call because the interviewer can feel it. The way the interviewer speaks provides cues on how to answer. Modulate your voice, tone and choose words that can help you impress them.

Direct the interviewer to your resume, if possible

Some companies want to find out how candidates handled certain challenges they faced when working in the industry. Patrick Algrim, an independent career and human resources expert at Algrim.co told me, “ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems) are really going to change the way job seekers have to think about their resume and cover letter. Keywords, like “Stanford”, for example, would prioritize your application in the HR portal over others. In order to get your application prioritized and seen, you’ll really have to think about listing your merits and positioning them correctly in your writing.” So, if you are not sure that you will do it right, you can hire essay writer in Australia who can check your resume on spelling, grammar, and let you know what exactly you need to change.

You should include your merits in your resume and on your LinkedIn profile and when the interviewer invites you to describe a challenging, ask them to check your resume for a detailed description while you tell the short version. While you present a short description, the interviewer can check the entire situation.

After the interview, send them your thank you, and make a reiterating of your value for the position. Phone interviews show employers if you’re qualified to succeed in their open position.

6 Ways to Love the Job You Have

Posted on by TheHeadhunter

You have good days and bad days, successes and failures, but sooner or later you start thinking, “Is there a job out there more suitable for me?”

By nature, even the coolest jobs start losing their luster the day you start them. So how do you learn to love your job once the honeymoon is over? Read on.

1. Stretch Your Roles 

If you’ve grown tired of what you do day in and day out, do something different. “Become an elastic band. Push yourself to take on new assignments and gain some extra skills,” says Mark Swartz,senior career columnist for Monster Canada. “Be part of something bigger.”

Executive coach Cheryl Palmer, owner of the consultation company Call to Career, advises unmotivated workers to volunteer for internal committees. “Many large companies have committees to review processes,” she says. “Joining one can expose you to people you might not otherwise meet and can open the door for future job opportunities.”

“Know what you love, and think about how to incorporate this aspect into your work,” says career coach and corporate trainer Carin Rockind. “Adding these passions will make you like your workplace and the rest of your job more.” Examples include offering to write blog posts, deliver presentations or help with creative brainstorming.

If you don’t have the required skills to take on greater responsibilities, consider taking classes. These days, it’s fairly easy to find in-person and online classes on everything from public relations to Web coding to copyediting. Sometimes your company will kick in some tuition, as well.

Whatever your big plans are, make sure to check in with the boss first. “You have to let your manager, and everyone else, know that you want to be involved,” says Jason Bohner, HR director at Engaged Health Solutions, a Chicago–based organizational consultancy.

“Do what you were hired to do, but keep your eyes open for opportunities to grow your skills and find happiness in your job.”

2. Make New Connections 

Job fulfillment is strongly affected by your social interactions in the workplace. After all, you probably spend more time with these people than your own family. Career and job strategist Kyra Mancine recommends making or enhancing these personal connections.

“Instead of emailing a colleague, go up to him and express interest in what he’s working on,” Mancine says. She also recommends connecting with coworkers through LinkedIn. It’s professional, appropriate and helps you learn something new about the people you’re spending so much time with.

Consider joining group activities after work, as well. “If your employer has a community service program, use that as an opportunity to do something good for someone else and get away from your workplace for a few hours a week,” says Palmer.

“This will take your mind off your own troubles and also lend a helping hand to someone else.” Just for the record, there’s nothing wrong with bowling, either.

3. Get Comfortable

A small workstation makeover can make a big difference.

“Start with something as simple as clearing off your workspace and rearranging your office or cubicle,” says Mancine. “And while you’re cleaning, freshening and rearranging, take note of the ergonomics of your work area. I found I needed to raise my computer as I was starting to hunch over; I also invested in a back pillow for my office chair.”

Mancine also advises getting up and stretching every half-hour and taking leisurely walks outside. “Get the blood flowing. It will do wonders for your spirits,” she says.

Personally, I like to keep small, meaningful—alright, quirky—tchotchkes around my desk; they remind me that I do indeed have another life, and that work can be fun. They also make great conversation starters.

4. Offer Help 

Reaching out to help co-workers, new employees or interns can also make you feel more vital at work.

“Increase your job satisfaction by passing along your experience to newer employees,” Palmer says. “Mentoring other employees can make your time at your current job more enjoyable.”

Family psychotherapist and author Dr. Fran Walfish says the best way to love the job you’re with is to “give” to someone else. “I don’t mean materialistic things like cash or gifts. I mean the kind of giving that requires your time, attention and personal thoughts, ideas and opinions,” she says. “Giving not only facilitates interacting with colleagues; it also kicks a bored or depressed feeling in the gut.”

Simply giving positive feedback to your team can put you in a better mood. “Start appreciating others, even the boss. Tell people they’re doing a good job and send handwritten notes,” says Mary Hladio, a veteran workplace expert. “You might be skeptical at first, but you’ll start to influence the organization’s culture, and others will return the compliments.”

And don’t forget to give yourself a little love too. “Reward yourself along the way for the small victories,” says executive trainer AmyK Hutchens. “Recognizing and rewarding mini-milestones maintains the positive momentum and keeps you smiling and engaged.”

5. Take Your Time

Sometimes all you need is a quick recharging of your batteries.

“People get so caught up in the stress of their current responsibilities. They just don’t realize all they need is a little time away,” says Andrew Schrage, founder and hiring manager at Money Crashers, a personal finance blog. “In many cases, just taking an impromptu weekend getaway or utilizing a few sick days will give you the time you need to refocus.”

If you don’t have that much time, take less. “Plan fun activities for your lunch break or right after work to lighten your mood, such as playing a team sport, learning a new hobby or taking a class,” says Brie Weiler Reynolds, career advice writer for FlexJobs.com, a telecommuting job site.

I joined a local Toastmasters Club close to where I work. Meeting twice a month breaks up the week, helps me relax and gives me something to look forward to. (Toastmasters is a public speaking social club; we don’t make toast.)

6. Keep the Big Picture in Mind 

Perhaps the easiest way to feel good about your job is just to remind yourself about the big picture, not the tiny to-dos. “When the day ahead is filled with tasks you’re not happy about, remind yourself that these tasks get you closer to the bigger outcome,” says Reynolds.

The “big outcome” could be a particular project you feel good about or the overall company mission. Is there some aspect of the company that makes you proud to work there?

When all is said and done, not everyone can love the job they’re with. In other words, you can’t always get what you want. But to borrow a line from a 70’s-era musical sage: If you try sometime… you just might find… you get what you need.

If you’re still feeling antsy, there’s nothing wrong with seeing what other jobs are out there. Our job board, with positions across the country and media landscape, is the perfect place to start.

Why You Shouldn’t Ghost a Recruiter

Posted on by TheHeadhunter

Ghosting is a form of impersonal rejection involving someone cutting off communication with another with little or no notice. You may have experienced this in your life—during a job search or while dating—and it likely left you with a less than favourable opinion of the company or person who did it. This is why you shouldn’t ghost recruiters; regardless of the outcome of the hiring process, it is worthwhile to put in the effort to communicate.

Ghosting in the context of a job search means not replying to a recruiter’s email or voicemail at any stage of the process:

Not answering their questions about your career goals or work preferences

Not replying to requests for portfolios or references

Not responding to interview offers

Not showing up for an interview

Worse still, there has been an increase in ghosting occurring on the first day of work for new employees for some companies, which wastes time, money and productivity. USA Today suggests anywhere from 20 to 50% of applicants or newly hired employees ghost in some form.

Job markets with low unemployment rates tend to be favourable for job seekers, and you may feel there’s no harm in not continuing contact with a recruiter. However, everything you do and don’t do during the recruitment process gives the recruiter an idea of the sort of person you are, for better or for worse. Ghosting will leave a negative impression of you with the recruiter and with the companies they’re representing. The world is small, recruiters are very well-networked, and word of your actions can spread, especially if you continue to apply for jobs in the same industry or location.

No matter what stage you are at in the recruitment process, it is beneficial to respond to your recruiter’s messages and to keep them updated on your current situation. You can send an email to the recruiter thanking them for the opportunity to meet, for the interview(s) that took place, or for a job offer if you received one. If you feel you are not a good fit for the company or role, are holding out for other opportunities, or have another offer that you’re considering; be honest and let the recruiter know! It may feel uncomfortable in the moment, but everyone will leave feeling respected, and the recruiter will be more likely to consider you for future opportunities and to speak positively about you to potential employers.

Here are some recruitment consultants thoughts on ghosting:

“Recruiters really do care about our candidates! When you don’t show up for an interview, or don’t return our calls after we’ve built a relationship, our first response is to worry that something bad may have happened you! Once we know you’re actually okay and that we’ve just been ghosted, the trust has been broken.

We may get 30 or 60 or 100 applications on a job, and will likely only be able to present two or three to the employer. If we’ve chosen you, it’s because we’re excited about you as a candidate and feel there’s a good potential fit. If you disappear rather than being open and honest with us, not only will we personally not be able to represent you again, you’ve likely burned bridges with the company we are representing and with future opportunities. It’s ok to decline an interview or to decide that a job isn’t right for you… just tell us!”

When all is said and done, treat others as you want to be treated. Just as in everyday life, honesty and open communication are the best approach to your job search!
