Scramble Staffing is excited to share with you part 2 in our resume-to-hire series!📚
Below is from the viewpoint of a candidate when it comes to the hiring process⬇️
Q. What is the single purpose of your resume?
A. An opportunity to market yourself to a potential employer while highlighting specific skills and experiences that align with the role and business
Q. What MUST you include on your resume?
A. Job history, relevant experiences and brief descriptions of strengths
Q. How long is your resume?
A. 1-2 pages
Q. Do you tailor your resume to the specific job you are applying to?
A. Yes and no. Some use a "general" resume to use on LinkedIn for the "Easy Apply" job postings. However, some will tailor their resume if the position description lists specific qualification requirements that could easily be inferred from the information provided in the "general" resume
Q. Do you think you should include why you left your employer?
A. No
Q. What steps do you take to prepare for your interview?
A. Learn the company mission, vision, and core values. Ask questions to help determine the culture.
Q. Do you have someone do a mock interview with you?
A. Mostly yes!
Q. What research do you perform before your interview?
A. Research the job description, find information on the website, google search, and ask peers in the industry. Glassdoor can be very helpful as well as studying the products and services
Q. How do you present yourself if you have a face/face interview?
A. Professionally, have a strong handshake, and come prepared with questions. Always dress professionally unless directed otherwise
Q. Do you make it a point to ask the interviewer questions or just let them ask all the questions?
A. Yes, ask questions. It's always good to interview them as much as they do you. It must be a good fit for both. Asking questions demonstrates your interest in the company!
