Your Career Goals

Your resume is one of the most important documents in your job search. It shows how you made things better for previous employers and the value you will provide for your next employer. Your resume lets hiring managers know who you are, how your skills and experience match the role you’re applying for, and why you should be called for an interview. To improve your odds of being contacted, include specific, relevant information on your resume.  

When you’re active in the job market, an employer may contact you for an interview the same day. In some cases, you may have only a few hours’ notice to prepare. Although this can be a nerve-wracking event, remain focused on what you need to do to get ready. The action you take now can mean the difference between being offered a job or having to continue your search.  

The coronavirus certainly has caused a hit to the job market. If you’re one of the millions of people whose job was deemed “nonessential,” odds are you’re still out of work. Even if you’re able to file for unemployment, it may or may not be enough to cover your monthly expenses. Fortunately, many industries are hiring because of the demands put on them due to COVID-19. HW Staffing Solutions can help you find these opportunities.  

When the time comes to find a new job, you want to secure one as quickly as possible. Whether you unexpectedly were downsized, had a difference of opinion with your boss, or left your job for other reasons, you need fast results. Fortunately, there are steps you can take to find what you’re looking for in less time than you otherwise may need. 

When you quit a job, be sure you leave behind an impression of professionalism. If you don’t, the adverse feelings you leave with your manager and colleagues will erase all the goodwill you worked hard to create. No matter how you feel about your job or coworkers, how you leave reflects on your character and judgment. Because you want a good reference, and you might work with colleagues for a different employer down the road, you want to move on in a professional manner.  

With your packed work schedule, there will be days when you don’t have enough time to get everything done at the office. If you’re working remotely now, these tips apply to you too!

A career in hospitality provides highly skilled people from all backgrounds opportunities to work in roles that lead to dynamic careers. People who love mathematics, leadership, and creativity are among those who excel in hospitality.

Right now times are very uncertain, very stressful and even a bit frightening. The COVID-19 outbreak has not only caused a health crisis but an economic crisis, as well. In a matter of days, millions of people found themselves suddenly out of work. Millions more are weeks or even days away from losing their jobs, and millions more still are left uncertain about whether their companies will last through this crisis.

After landing a job interview, you do all you can to prepare. Despite the time you invest in researching the company and role, practicing answers to questions, and thinking about questions to ask, the interview may not go as well as expected. Perhaps the department manager conducts the interview, even though they’d rather focus on other responsibilities. They might be thinking about other things, rather than how great you’d be for the position. Or, perhaps the interviewer talked with multiple candidates before you. They might be pressed for time and not focused on what you have to share. No matter the reason, you need to shift the interview in your favor to increase the odds of being offered the role.

If you’re looking for a permanent job, being hired as a temp is one way to start. Getting on the inside of a company gives you an advantage over external candidates when a full-time job opens up. Showing you blend with the culture increases your odds of permanently being hired on down the road. Determining that you work well with the team shows that you’re a good fit with the organization.
