#CareerTipTuesday - Selecting the BEST References to Land the Job

7/27/2021

0 Comments

 
Hiring is a time consuming and expensive process, and as a result, employers work very intentionally to ensure that new hires will not pose any unnecessary risk to the organization. References serve as one of the last opportunities for employers to identify any red flags and confirm that a candidate has been honest about their experience and skillset. 
.
Before an offer is made, employers are likely to check in with a candidate's references. Therefore, who you select can help you reduce any concerns and land that job! 
.
But how do you know who to select and how to ask?

#CareerTipTuesday - Discussing Previous or Current Employers

7/6/2021

0 Comments

 
It is once again that time of the week and Well Suited for Work is here to serve up another #CareerTipTuesday. This week we're sharing some tips about discussing your previous or current employer(s) in an interview setting! 
.
​Employers often ask candidates why they left their previous position or why they're planning to leave their current position. Even if the transition is a positive one and you're leaving without hard feelings, it can still be an uncomfortable question to answer. You may be looking for a fresh start, an opportunity for growth, or a higher salary...or maybe it was a painful parting, whether it was voluntary on your part (i.e. you resigned with or without notice) or involuntary (i.e. you were laid off or terminated).  

​Either way, we have a #CareerTip to help you knock this question out of the park during your next interview!
​
Our Tip: Be Professional, Positive & Honest!
