The Perfect Position - Rockin' Resumes (Part I of II)
You know exactly how you’re going to set up your desk, you’ve got an excellent outfit all picked out for your first day, and you even found a gorgeous leather shoulder bag to tote all of your important businesswoman necessities. You’re all ready for your new job. There’s just one problem: You don’t actually have a job yet.ople they are looking to employ. Notice I did not say, “If they are hiring”, I implied what kind are they hiring.

All large company’s number one goal is to hire and keep quality employees. Those are go-getters, so if you can go into a company and ask questions that portray you to be a type of person they want to hire, they just might make a space for you on the spot.

Have you noticed the large amount of help wanted signs on the businesses as you drive down the road? I am amazed just how many openings there are for work, but are they the ones you want? Many of them do not pay enough to survive. Does that mean you shouldn't go and talk to the business owner or manager? Here is a secret most job seekers don't know. Many of those businesses have other positions open. They just don't advertise them so openly. If you see a company with a help wanted sign in the window, go do some investigating. Ask the staff what kind of jobs are available, if you like the place go back different times to talk to different staff.

There are often higher paid jobs in that business that are there for the taking, you just have to do some digging. Learn to ask, "How is the management around here?" Then listen for answers like, "Well we are sort of making due at the moment while they look for someone to replace Ed."

You continue the subtle questions about what happened to Ed. Looking for what traits you do or don’t want to talk about at a future interview. Was Ed fired because he was a wimp or a dictator or did he leave for a better job? Then what was wrong with this job? The sooner you can find out information the better. It may lead you to keep looking or convince you this is the place for you.

Another interesting thing about today’s job market is how many employers have quit advertising because “there just is not anyone out there of us”. I am amazed at this response but it is true. Mechanics are an example, I have a friend that owns a car repair business and has been advertising in the newspaper every week for over a year and has no responses.

He tells me they are all in the oil-fields and has stopped advertising. I can promise you he is not the only company around that feels this way. If you see a company that you would like to work for, go on in and ask to see the human resource person or the person that does the hiring. Ask them what kind of people they are looking to employ.
