Comment on 8 Hiring Tips For Managers by Summer Daza

Useful tips! I think sharing Steve Job's recruitment tips on this article is a perfect back up. It says a lot and you might be able to learn from the CEO of Apple Inc. himself. “Recruiting is hard. It’s just finding the needles in the haystack. We do it ourselves and we spend a lot of time at it. I’ve participated in the hiring of maybe 5,000-plus people in my life. So I take it very seriously. You can’t know enough in a one-hour interview. So, in the end, it’s ultimately based on your gut. How do I feel about this person? What are they like when they’re challenged? Why are they here? I ask everybody that. The answers themselves are not what you’re looking for. It’s the meta-data.” – Steve Jobs, co-founder and CEO of Apple Inc.

I particularly like the section on “Don’t stop learning”. Throughout your career, you’re learning.Try to enjoy it, too – and volunteer enthusiastically for training courses – you never know how they may benefit you in the future.

Comment on The Best Way to Follow Up After a Job Interview by TL Burriss

TL Burriss — Fri, 11 Jan 2013 20:12:59 +0000

When following up, focus your points toward the needs of the business and how you can fill those needs. Don’t sound like everyone else with the traditional, “I really want this job,” or “I hope you decide to chose me,” statements. Businesses hire people to solve problems and to create value, so make sure your follow up letter and/or email says that you are excited about the opportunity to help the business with its tasks, projects, and business. Again, it’s all about the business, not you.
