"It's Not MY Job!"

January 28th, 2013

By Stand-By Personnel Staff Member

Have you ever heard anyone say "it's not MY job to do that!" at work? Maybe YOU'RE the person saying it?
Trust me when I say NO EMPLOYER or BOSS EVER LIKES HEARING THAT!!



You can sit back, getting by with minimal work and collect a check, OR you can do something that will not only make you feel good, it will help with your job security AND quite possibly lead to better opportunties and furthering your career. Be a team player... take ownership of your duties and anywhere else you're needed on the job. Be proactive, take charge and get the job done, efficiently and with a great attitude. You'll be surprised on the positive outcome for opportunities at your current job or any future place of employement. You'll be the one that "get's 'er done" instead of the deadbeat that passes the buck.  Your good reputation as a hard worker will follow you everywhere you go.                                                                                                                                                              



By the way, being lazy and having poor work habits will follow you everywhere you go as well. Chew on that for a bit.

Job Seeker Tip of the Week: Make it Win-Win Situation!

Make It a Win-Win Situation!

by Stand-By Personnel Staff Member

Okay, so, you're looking for a job. This time, you really, REALLY do want and need to find one! Where do you start? Do you just call the number on the ad you saw in the paper or call a staffing company and say "I'm calling in available" and expect a positive outcome? Sometimes it works, but, let's simplify your job search and increase your opportunities and chances of being hired.

We're going to use the "Do's" and "Don'ts" examples.

DON'T

Job Seeker: "Hi, this is Jane Doe, I'm calling in available"

 

Job Interviewer: "What's the last four of your social?"

Job Seeker: "1234"

Job Interviewer: "Okay Jane, we've got you down as available. If something comes up, we'll let you know."

Job Seeker: "Okay, thanks."

  

And right about now, the job seeker is thinking "I hope they find something." But, the call never comes, or maybe it did but the job wasn't right for you.

 

DO

 

Job Seeker: "Hi, this is John Smith. I looked on your job board and saw you had three positions I'm interested in.

Job Interviewer: "Hi John, what's the last four of  your social?"

Job Seeker: "1234"

Job Interviewer: "Okay, we've got you in our system. Which jobs are you inquiring about?"

Job Seeker: "Well, the three I'm inquiring about are the Material Handler, Grinder/shop helper and the Final Assembly. I have experience in all three positions but really excelled at and enjoyed the Material Handler position. If I could come in to interview with you and start with that one, that would be great."

Job Interviewer: "Okay, great. We conduct interviews Monday through Friday from seven a.m to three thirty."

Job Seeker: "Great, I'll come in at 7:30 tomorrow morning...thank you."

Job Interviewer: (impressed with your organization and specific job skills and interests)"Sounds good, see you then."

Now the interviewer is happy because not only have you saved both of you time, you've sped up the interview process because she knows exactly what questions to ask based on your experience and interest in the jobs you've inquired about. Now you've created a win-win situation for both of you!

 

 

Congrats to Chris, he recently found employment through Stand-By Personnel...

...and also got a pretty cool t-shirt! :-)
