I just went through a round of hiring, listen in on some of the experiences that I've had, and how you can avoid making some of the same mistakes. Let's get you one step closer to getting hired, this week!

Over the last 10 days I received about 200 hundred applications, I called 51 people, 17 of those answered. I scheduled 15 interviews, I had 7 (No Call No Shows) NCNS,2 people said that it was too far and one person called me to tell me that she got a job. So if you get called and show up to an interview, based on these statistics, you’ve got a pretty good chance of getting a job. From 200 resumes down to 8 interviews, those odds are pretty great!

What I was looking for in a resume to select those people was constancy with a job. However I didn’t factor in large gaps in employment, I assume that the person was either very ill, taking care of someone ill or on maternity leave. So those who are stay at home mom or dads were defiantly not excluded. I actually saw two people’s resumes that said they’re mothers looking to get back into the workforce. One person actually listed it as a job and described what she did, I thought that was very cute! Her list should have been much longer than it was though.

Here are the take always, look good, be flexible with your interview availability, change your stupid VM’s, bring your resume, reference and cover letter if you’ve got one, show up 15 minutes early and research interview questions ahead of time. If this summation looks hard, you’re in luck because I’ve got a course for you! I’ll link it in the comments below at the end of the video. In this digital course, it will help you with upgrading your resume, references and glorify your cover or review letter. It will assist in your clothing options with links to clothing options. This course comes with tons of interview questions and good answers that you can use yourself. But wait there’s more, it also can help with when and how you should follow up with your interview afterwords. And if you buy within the next two minutes, just kidding, nothing happens, other than you get access to the full course. You don’t have to wait for any part of it. It’s self-paced and you can go through any section that you’d like to go through. If you’ve got questions about this podcast or the digital course it’s self, please feel free to email me and I’ll be happy to help with whatever I can help with! https://careerelevation.mykajabi.com/products/career-upgrade
