Unthankful Employee Syndrome

Posted on by Thompson Jarr

If such a list existed would left-leaning folks cry foul claiming it was employment discrimination? I bet they might try to prove that in a court of law to get some case law onto the books for future lawsuits, but ask yourself this; isn’t it fair that employee hires tell an employer that even if them, they might walk off the job in a huff for virtually any reason sometime in the future leaving customers high and dry and threatening the company’s brand name? Let’s talk shall we?

You see, there was a troubling article on MSNBC Money online news recently titled; “Mass resignation at Journeys reflects mall troubles – Employees at a store in New York quit at the same time and call out their manager online. That’s a particularly tough loss when malls are dying and employing fewer young workers than ever,” by Jason Notte which was published … Read the rest

Medical Assistant Certification

Posted on by Thompson Jarr

If you’ve look into what it takes to become a medical assistant you have undoubtedly seen references to certification of some form. You may be asking yourself do I really need to spend the time and effort to become certified. There are two answers to that. From a legal perspective you can work as a medical assistant without certification. There are no states which require a you to be licensed or certified. The duties of medical assistants may vary from state to state but generally as long as you have a high school diploma or GED equivalent you can work under the supervision of a physician.

But in today’s job market that really is not the complete answer to whether you need to become certified in the field. It is true that the career opportunities are expected to grow far faster that than employment as a whole. In fact medical

Setting Clear Workplace Expectations

Having effective and clear communication enables managers to give understandable instructions to their teams.

Strong Relationships with Coworkers and Customers

Keeping Cool During an Interview

Posted on by Thompson Jarr
  • Schedule a practice interview: have friends or family set up a mock interview for you to practice, or you can go to a career counseling or career services center and see if they do mock interviews. If you have an idea of what is going to happen, you will feel more calm and will come off confident instead of nervous.
  • Be prepared: Have multiple copies of your resume (on resume paper) printed and ready to present in the even there is more than just the hiring manager interviewing you. Keep copies of certificates, degrees, and any other information that might be helpful in showing your value. The employer will be impressed to see that you have documents to back up your credentials.
  • Take deep breaths before going into your interview: It seems simple, but if you take deep breaths and focus on your breathing, then it will help slow down

Technology Staffing Solutions

Posted on by Thompson Jarr

Streamline the Process

An information technology staffing company should use information technology to streamline their internal processes. For example, instead of using spreadsheets and handwritten notes to manage processes like prospecting, matching skills of applicants to requests and recruiting, staffing firms should use a proper solution. Such a solution will help to streamline the recruiting process, increase its efficiency and will also help an IT staffing company to stay ahead of its competitors.

Automation

Manual processes are time consuming and are also prone to errors. The chance of errors only increases if the company is spread across multiple locations. This not only inhibits the ability of recruiters to fill the job orders but also hampers the growth of a company. Hence a staffing company should automate some of its processes to increase the ability of its recruiters and help the business grow.

Integration

Experts believe that integrating different processes helps

Strategies For Landing First Trucking Job

Posted on by Thompson Jarr

Trucking School Counts

How you perform in trucking school is something that employers will look at if you don’t have a significant amount of work history after graduation. Simple little things like having perfect attendance and scoring high on exams and classroom exercises will help.
