How to Get A Job

@howtogetajob2

An employer sharing colourful interview insights with tips on how to get and keep a job.

Recent interview: Potential employee told me they could fly back from NYC to work in office in Vancouver every week. Why they need this job again?


Never rush a job. Get it done right. Because getting it wrong but on time gets you fired. #youarefired #hr #htkaj


If you go on vacation without a vacation workplan in place letting others on the team know the gaps they need to fill in your absence, you are definitely dropping the ball. #PlanAhead #HTGAJ #vacationresponsibly


Prioritize tasks where other people are dependent on you, because everyone hates a bottleneck in the workflow. Don’t be that guy. #howtokeepyourjob #hr #Recruitment


Person accepts full-time job offer. Person emails to ask if the job is full-time in the office. We say yes. They turn down the job offer. Can someone else explain to me what just happened? #lol #nextgenhiring


Before you complain about low pay, I’d like to see you start your own company, earn your own $60K salary and an additional $40K to hire your first staff. #micdrop


Before you ask for a raise, ask how much value you are adding to the company. If I’m just breaking even on you as an investment, tell me why I should give you a raise. #negotiation #BringYourAGame


If you rush into an interview and rush out then we will always remember how you made us feel. LIKE WE AREN’T WORTH YOUR TIME. #rushingmakesmestressedout #hr #interviews


Candidate keeps telling us about other job offers she’s receiving. What exactly is she looking for? For us to submit a comparison offer? #fyi Employers don’t like to waste their time. #recruitment #hiring #HTGAJ


Potential candidate shares they want to learn whatever they can about consumer data insights and strategy and then return to help their ex employer. So...why would I invest and train you for my competitor? #WhosTheIdiotHere


When a potential sales exec tells you they have a “flexible work schedule” because their full time employer doesn’t know what they’re doing “working from home”. #EmployersgettingExploited #TelusIAmLookingAtYou


How to KEEP a job: when you make a mistake and share something you aren’t supposed to with the client, please don’t come back and tell me “maybe we can lie about it?” #wtf #workethicfail #HR


28-yr old Junior with no experience in the marketing industry says junior role offered to her is “too junior”. Newsflash: age doesn’t determine your seniority. No experience? Start from the bottom. #hiring #HR #HTGAJ


#HTGAJ tip 6: DO NOT PANIC. What you say when you’re panicking is likely not intelligent. If you don’t know what to say or how to respond, just default to “I don’t know, but I will check and let you know.” Problem deferred. You’re welcome. #HumanResources #jobseekers #LifeHack


don’t make unreasonable counter offers - like asking for a 15% commission when gross profit is 20-25%. Your employer will be out of a job, and so will you. There are expenses other than your salary. #employment #HumanResources


Someone sent me a resume, the name on the email account was “zZZ”... do people know what their email usernames are these days? Smh


#HTGAJ tip 6: get back to the HR manager in a timely manner. Scheduling an interview? If they have to wait for more than 2 days to hear from you it doesn’t make them feel the job is important to you. #recruiting #jobsearch


Was listening to the @Oprah podcast with the cast of the Netflix show ‘When They See Us’. Powerful moments in this interview: “Now that you know, what are you going to do?” @ava


#HTGAJ tip 5: don’t exaggerate your results or take too much credit in a job interview. HR can see through the bullshit. Probably from a mile away. #jobhunt #Hiring #jobsearch


How to keep a job tip #4 - MEET DEADLINES. Holy sh*t that sounds simple enough right? Mind blown how few employees can actually do this. #hiring #jobhunt #howtokeepajob
