Here are some of the most popular interview questions. How would you answer them?
With all the new social networks (Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter), connecting with people has become easier worldwide. You can chat with friends and relatives in other states or share your resume and career interests with companies across the globe. These social networks still seem, to some, an unlikely place to find employment. Many resources and companies, such as CampusJobXpress.com, provide people with a convenient way to stay updated with current open jobs and changes in the job market. So we would like to hear from you:
What is your preferred online networking system or social network if any?
What could CampusJobXpress.com do to improve our social network resources?
There is always a first step, but where that last step takes you is just as important. However, in today’s topic, where you park your car may be a better term. In many of our classes, we have discussed expanding your job search circle. For example, take a map and place your finger at a spot where you would like to work. Second, take a pen or pencil and draw a circle around your finger as big or as small as you would be willing to travel outside of the area covered by your finger. This will determine how far you are willing to travel for work and it will multiply your possibilities of finding a job. For many of you, travel and relocating are not a possibility due to a newly bought home, family, childrens’ schools, etc. We understand this and have no problems searching for a position that suits your preferred location but is there anything that could change your mind? For those of you who are able to ‘expand your horizons,’ tell us how big or little your circle is.
What would change your mind about expanding your circle?
How far are you willing to drive for a job?
What resources do you use to find out-of-town work?
Good Morning Everyone,
Today we would like to discuss how you present yourself in the Job Market through pictures. Your image is everything when it comes to getting a job, and professionalism is key. We must always be aware of the statement we make with our clothes, expressions, settings, etc.
For instance, if you present yourself to an employer wearing a t-shirt and shorts, that may say to an employer that you are not looking for a professional position. In reality, you may have a degree in Business but your image does not express this.
In a resume, we also suggest that you leave out your personal interests which is also true for your picture. We suggest that your personal life should not be expressed in a picture that is meant to be professional. Even if you are not seeking a professional position, it is always recommended that you express yourself appropriately in the Job Market, whether it be during an interview or through a professional profile.
With that said, our question for you today is:
What does your picture and/or appearance say about you?
What would you change, if anything?
What may help you change your look?
Please be patient as the corresponding video will be up later today. Thank you!
Hello, this is Sheena.
Today we have three new things to discuss: the Extended Unemployment Benefits, our last job event and the new contractor for the Heart Of Texas Workforce Centers in this area.
First, our major announcement is the management of the workforce center has change and the new contractor will be adding new services whichshould help you with your job search.
Under discussion is more help with resumes, adding classes for computer, Word, excel and powerpoint, email basics and more detail instructions on the use of Work In Texas.
We will also have more job events as our business services team is expanding its services. More to come as we get more information….
Second the last employment showcase.
Please be mindful that if you commit to an interview you should keep that appointment. Not showing up for a scheduled appointment is problematic for the employer and It reflexes poorly on you. Next time let staff know if you cannot keep your appointment.
Last, with all the discussions about UI Benefits we have attached a detail explaination from the Texas Workforce Commission posted on their website.
If you have any further questions after reading this, please ask us so we may attempt to get you an answer.
Thank you se you next week
