I agree with applying to multiple jobs in the same company, as long as it makes sense. Applying for a Director and an Executive Assistant role, doesn't make sense. "But Chris, I meet the qualifications for both roles" If that is true, than pick the position you want most and are qualified for. If the average Hiring Manager learned a Director candidate applied for an Executive Assistant role in the same day, it would be a hard sell. Do yourself a favor and work in the same direction. Apply to roles that are similar in nature. #jobsearchtips #jobsearch #jobseeker #recruitertips #recruiter #recruiterlife

Rethinking Job Assessments for Admin Professionals I'm seeing many complaints on this subject, and I'm experiencing it firsthand as I actively apply for Admin roles myself. With 15 years of experience as an Admin Manager, I'm still encountering unnecessary hurdles in the hiring process. In evaluating candidates for administrative roles, it's essential to scrutinize the relevance of certain tests. Why subject candidates to 15 technical project management questions for admin positions or 10 calculation queries for receptionists? Moreover, assessments often include IQ tests, strategic thinking exercises, fraud prevention, psychological and analytical questions. Administrative roles hinge on fundamental skills like organization, communication, and problem-solving. While technical expertise can be valuable, assessments should primarily assess competencies directly pertinent to daily job functions. Complex queries and personality evaluations may not align with the practical demands of administrative roles. Why complicate the hiring process for admins with tests that don't typically add value? Assessments probing personality traits, previous employee interactions, and conflict responses may not always reflect the varied cultures and changing situations of different organizations. Let's refine our approach to ensure assessments effectively measure the skills essential for administrative success, enabling candidates to demonstrate their true capabilities.

Dear Hiring Managers and Recruiters, Entry-Level does not equate with a "Manager" title. "Assistant" or "Coordinator" is more suitable. It's a little concerning when someone in hiring does not know this. It's like saying "we expect managerial-level experience but we want to pay you entry-level". Big turn-off for qualified candidates.
