Tips For Having A Successful Interview

Tips For A Successful Interview

You have put together a great resume and now you received that call for an interview! Make the most of your opportunity with the following tips for a successful interview:

Be on Time

First impressions are very important when trying to land a job and being late for an interview shows a lack of respect for the interviewer, the company, and even yourself! Plan your time to arrive ten to fifteen minutes early to give yourself a little extra cushion in case something unforeseen comes up on the way. This also allows you a few minutes to use the restroom if necessary, review your notes and mentally compose yourself for the interview. Avoid arriving very early, stay in your car until the appropriate time. 

Dress Appropriately

Again, first impressions. When you interview for a job, you want to look and feel your best. What you wear may vary based on the position and company for which you are applying, but in all cases it’s important to look professional and confident.

No Drinks

Avoid bringing a coffee, water or other drinks into the interview. During the interview you want to be focused on the questions and developing a rapport with the interviewer, not sipping on your drink.

Put Your Phone Away

You want to give your interviewer 100% of your attention, so silence your phone and stow it in your bag or pocket. Glancing at the time or who is messaging you could send a message to your potential employer that you are unable to focus and are easily distracted, or that you simply don’t care enough about the opportunity to give your full attention.

Body Language

Meeting with people goes beyond verbal communication. Your nonverbal gestures and movements can communicate a great deal to your interviewer. It’s important to maintain good eye contact with your interviewer while listening and speaking. Avoid crossing your arms and legs, as this signifies resistance to ideas or a defensive attitude. Sit with good posture, avoid fidgeting, and be confident.

Preparation is Key

Learn as much as you can about the company and position for which you are interviewing. Visit the company’s website and educate yourself on their business. Preparing thoroughly for your interview not only shows your interest for the company and opportunity, but also may help calm your nerves, help you feel more confident, and allow you to ask relevant questions about the company.

Avoid Badmouthing Past Employers

Regardless of how you really feel about past or present employers, it’s important to avoid badmouthing them in your interview. Doing so will suggest you may have a bad attitude, and your interviewer will wonder how you will talk about the them and their company if you’re are hired. Be professional and polite, you want to give the impression that you can work well with other people and handle conflicts effectively.

Follow Up

Following up after an interview shows your interest in the company and opportunity. Send a short thank-you email within 48 hours expressing your interest. You should make notes immediately after an interview so that you can cite specifics from the conversation.

Choosing The Best Staffing Agency For Your Business

In today’s very competitive economic landscape, it’s extremely difficult to find quality employees for your business. Why should you use a staffing agency to address this challenge? There are a wide variety of reasons. For example:

  • Control costs
  • Improve productivity
  • Relieve bottlenecked departments
  • Meet critical deadlines
  • Tackle new initiatives
  • Cost-effectively manage changing workforce demands
  • Improve hiring process efficiency
  • Reduce downtime, overtime, turnover and overhead
  • Offload time-consuming, mundane or inefficient tasks

As you can see, a staffing agency can really help your business thrive by providing solutions for critical business needs. However, there is a lot to consider when choosing the best staffing agency for your business.

Staffing Is All About the Best Fit for YOUR Business

There are thousands of staffing agencies available to consider for your business. The key is choosing the agency that best fits your company. Consider the following:

  • What is the staffing agencies’ niche market?

For example, if you operate a call center you wouldn’t want to partner with a staffing agency that specializes in engineering. You want to target staffing agencies that are experts in placing candidates within your industry.

  • Can the staffing agency handle different departments within your company?

Your staffing needs may be diverse, from executive and managerial, to engineering and technical, to labor oriented tasks. You should look for a staffing agency which can be your partner in all of the areas you have business needs.

Additionally, you will want to work with an agency that has a good reputation and operates within a 20-mile radius of your location for which you need to hire. This way, they can create a quality pool of job candidates for your company.

Be sure to interview prospective staffing agencies, to learn as much as possible about what they can provide for your business. Following are some helpful questions to ask:

  • What is the expertise of their internal staff?
  • What is their hiring process?
  • How do they get their candidates?
  • Do they drug screen and background check all job candidates, and who pays for this?
  • What is their average retention and attribution by percentage?
  • Ask for referrals that you can you call to verify customer experience and satisfaction

As you can see, choosing the best staffing agency for your business, like any other business decision, requires patience, research and thoughtful questions to determine if the agency will be able to fit your critical business need and form a long term, successful partnership.

Resume Catastrophe’s: What To Avoid

resume catastrophes

Here at Accurate Staffing, we’ve seen a lot of resumes from people seeking work. And we have seen some otherwise well-qualified candidates hurt their chances of getting hired with resumes that are profoundly error-ridden with easily corrected mistakes!

Consider this: your resume is your fist impression with a potential employer. If that first impression is bad, you will never get that initial email contact or call to go to the next step in the hiring process.

Following are some issues to be aware of when putting your resume together:

Typos and Grammatical Errors

Without a doubt the fastest way to turn-off a potential employer is to provide a resume that is full of typos and grammatical errors. And this extends beyond your resume to include critical email communications as well. Take your time and think about what you are writing. Use the spell check and grammar check in your writing program (MS Word, Google Docs, etc.). When you are done writing, step away for a few minutes, and then come back and PROOFREAD! After you are satisfied that what you have written makes sense grammatically and you’ve caught all your typos, show your resume to a friend or colleague and have them check it for errors. When employers receive a resume or email communication with many typos or grammatical issues, they will make some not-too-flattering conclusions about you. The bottom line is, that critical first impression will be a bad one.

Errors in Contact Information

So, you’ve got a great resume and an employer reaches out to you via email, and they instantly receive an “undeliverable” response because you have a typo in your email address. Or, they call the phone number provided and receive the “we’re sorry, the number you have provided…” or worse yet, the number goes to the wrong person. We’ve seen it happen!

It’s very easy to overlook your contact information, so double and TRIPLE check your details!

Visual Formatting

When a potential employer is viewing your resume, you only have a few seconds to catch their attention. While you want to have a visually great looking resume, keep the following tips in mind:

  • White space is your friend: your resume needs to be easy to read. You don’t need to fill every available space with information. Avoid run-on sentences and try to use bulleted lists with your highlights and accomplishments.
  • Avoid multiple fonts: choose a font style that is easy to read and avoid using several different fonts on your resume. Avoid using ALL CAPS in your writing, some people interpret this as SHOUTING.
  • Including Too Much: try to limit your resume to the last 10 to 15 years of work experience, it’s not necessary to include everything you ever did; keep your document to 1 or two pages.

Understanding Staffing Agency Costs

staffing agencies akron, canton

For a staffing agency, the process of finding a qualified and reliable employee, and providing that employee for work with a business customer is significant. There is a huge misconception regarding staffing agency fees. Most companies think staffing agencies make a large profit, but in fact staffing agencies work on very low profit margins. For example, consider all of the costs associated with an employee:

  • Payroll
  • Payroll taxes
  • Healthcare
  • Vacation and holiday pay
  • Liability insurance
  • Workers compensation
  • Advertising
  • Testing
  • Other related recruiting costs

When you consider after paying all of the above fees and other related employment costs, staffing agencies are actually making pennies per dollar for every hour billed to a customer.

There are thousands of staffing agencies and agency fees vary greatly from one provider to another. When you are in the process of choosing a staffing agency to partner with, keep in mind the different types of fees you may encounter, and ensure that your agreement with the agency clearly documents what fees are covered, and by whom.

There are other types of staffing agency fees to consider, for example: contingency fees for finding an employee, or a direct hire fee which is normally 25-30% of the employees first years’ gross salary. There are staffing agencies which offer temporary, temporary-to-hire, contract, and direct hire placements across all industries, and fees may vary greatly.

Our Approach at Accurate Staffing

Here at Accurate Staffing, even though payroll and all of the other associated employee fees go up annually, we never increase our customer’s bill rates. We have customers that have been with us for 20 years and are still paying the same billing rates they were paying from the first day of placing an order. 

Furthermore, Accurate Staffing partners with our clients; we mirror your hiring process. With our national network and a database of more than 60,000 candidates, Accurate Staffing rapidly delivers talented, reliable workers.

However, filling orders is only part of a sound staffing strategy. For your business to thrive in today’s economy, you need a true staffing partner whose services fuel your success. Accurate Staffing understands, and we deliver! Our supplemental and strategic workforce solutions help you run leaner and accomplish your business goals. We have a long and successful history of providing critical staffing solutions for a wide variety of industries and businesses, including:
