FU Have you ever considered creating universal job interview questions for whole company? * To Tim Bright: Considering the number of potential recruitment sources, it is important to determine which source would be the most effective. Therefore, are you open to a more diversified recruitment source? FU Have you ever evaluated the effectiveness of the recruitment strategies that we are currently using? * To Tim Bright and the regional VP Human Resources: Are there any programs that train our interviewers in each store? FU is there any attempt for managers and sales managers to evaluate or get feedback about whether the interviews are well structured? * To Tim Bright, and the regional VP store operation: As we know, last time the company did a job analysis and description was ten years ago. Since our job description seems to be outdated, when was the last time we required the local managers and sales managers to update their interview questions which should be closely related to KSAOs. * Opportunity areas: * Currently, interviews in Ultra do not have a company-wide standard. The interviews are developed by each store manager, using their favorite question (case, p.11) If it remains this way, it may cause managers to hire by their standards as opposed to Ultra's standards, and could present a legal issue...

...The 15 ingredients to a stellar informational interview Whether you’re trying to move up the ladder or considering jumping ship and beginning a completely new career, informational interviews can be one of the most fruitful ways to find your next job. Informational interviews are brief meetings (typically 15 to 30 minutes) in which you meet with an individual who’s in the job, field or organization you’re considering. These interviews can equip you with: * an insider’s perspective on strategies for entering the field, emerging opportunities and how to tap into the network; * advice on refining your job search; * a chance to polish your interview and networking skills; * a lead on jobs before they are posted – or ones that won’t ever get posted; * referrals to other people. These 15 steps will ensure you get the most out of your interviews: Before you go: 1. Identify the occupation or field you want to learn more about. 2. Ask people in your network if they know anyone in that job/field who you can approach for an interview. 3. Set up the interview: introduce yourself, how you came to contact them and why you want to talk with them. Be clear about how much of their time you would like to take and be sure to make the location and time convenient for them. 4. Prepare questions. Choose five to 10 and rank them in the order of importance in case you run out of time, for example: * How did you get to this position? What contacts, strategies, timing...

...Cody Westwood 6/17/2015 Amanda Miller English 101 A Lot of Chili and an Interview. Throughout life one will most definitely find themselves nervously googling how to prepare for a job interview. Or find themselves as the host of a super bowl party with no idea what food to make to or how to make it for a large party of people. That is why the authors of “How to Interview” and “…Chili for Fifty” wrote their essays, to help others. At a first glance someone wouldn’t think that the essays have anything in common. Once one takes a deeper look into them it can be found that both essays can be useful to a young adult audience and offer helpful steps to completing separate tasks in everyday life. This is all done by using different writing techniques. Although both have a similar purpose the way each task is explained is different. For example, in”…Chili for Fifty” Eric Michalski says “… you could boil a cow’s head in. (Don’t ask how I know.)”(Michalski 359), “I hate Jalapenos” (Michalski 361), and “If you plan on moving the chili pot, which you shouldn’t, potholders are useful.” (Michalski 359). These examples show that Michalski uses a more informal tone, almost as if the reader is having a conversation with the author about how to make the chili. This makes the essay more enjoyable to read with his personal touch. In the article from Monster.com on interviewing the text is laid out in a more formal manner. The author uses bolded headings such as “Be Prepared to talk about...

...Content Writer Interview Questions and Tips Planning to take up a fulfilling job as online content writer or taking up writing as a career? Well as with all creative pursuits’ content writing also demands a fair bit of creativity apart from consistent quality. But when you have both, writing can be a fulfilling calling indeed. This small content/copy writing interview guide lists the interview questions common to all jobs apart from focusing on the questions more likely to be asked in any interview for a content or Web copy writer. While I was planning to write a small content writing interview guide for a long time what finally made me put my fingers to the keyboard was the truly vast experience gained after giving 11 interviews in 14 days! Persistence does pay at the end of the day. The Getup: As content writing is a relatively informal job, even an informal getup with a semi-formal shirt should do fine. No need for any tie or suit. Punctuality: This is a must irrespective of the job you apply for. Make sure you reach the venue at least 15-20 minutes before the appointed time and put your documents or reference of past work in order and do remember to have an attractive resume in hand. 1) Tell me something about yourself. This is the most common interview question which will almost certainly be asked to any candidate. While it seems a pretty straightforward question many find it the toughest as it’s quite open ended and people fumble when required to speak...
