The People Concern’s Post

This ad is a great example of what transparency looks like. In this ad, the City of Santa Monica is asking 5 key questions that people can prepare of ahead of time. In some disability accommodations scenarios, people can ask for questions earlier as part of accommodations, but usually can get them about 1/2 an hour before the interview which isn't much of an accommodation. This shows you in particular what the hiring team is thinking about, and while being prepared for a variety of questions in important, they show a candidate that beyond a bullet list of requirements, these in particular are areas to focus on. While I'm not planning to become a BA again, and while Santa Monica is a great city - and extremely tempting - I'd love to see more of this happen. It looks like L.A. civic government jobs does something similar, so I'm not sure if this is a California trend, a government trend or both - but seeing more transparency in hiring is going to benefit both job seekers and job hiring committees.

More Jobs, Less Crime. My mission is to connect job seekers with employers, helping individuals find meaningful work, and organizations discover talented employees. As such, I have created More Jobs Houston, a one-stop easily accessible jobs and resources website. As a native Houstonian, I love my city, but I know for people to truly maximize all our city has to offer and for us to thrive economically, people must have good paying jobs. Lower unemployment is a direct correlation to less crime, less homelessness, less stress, and an increase in personal quality of life. Whether you’re just starting out looking for an entry level position, a seasoned professional with experience, or an employer looking to hire, MoreJobsHouston.com is here to support your journey.
