How to Identify and Hire Job Candidates with a History of Success

11/11/2020

 

The Internet, Social Media, and Your Online Identity as a Professional

11/4/2020

 

A Great Online Identity = More Job Opportunity and More Career Options

10/28/2020

 
In our last couple of blog posts, we've addressed the subject of properly building an online identity.

Specifically, we drew a correlation between your online identity and The Matrix movie series and we also discussed the link that exists between your online identity and your personal brand.

However, there's one big reason why you should be carefully constructing and maintaining your online identity, and that's because not everybody is doing so. In fact, by some estimates, far less than 50% of people are taking the time to build their online identity.

Why bring this up? Because everybody should be building a comprehensive online identity. After all, the Internet isn't going away anytime soon, and competition in the job market is certainly fierce at the moment and might get more so in the weeks and months ahead. In fact, there's reason to believe that level of competition will remain, no matter how much the economy recovers and grows.

Building your online identity is all about opportunity. It doesn't matter whether you're looking for a new job right now or not looking for a new job. Everybody likes to have more opportunities and more options.

  • If you're looking for a new job, then you're looking for new opportunities on an almost daily basis. You welcome them, and a complete and impressive online identity can increase the chances that you'll find such opportunities.
  • If you're not looking for a new job right now, then you're not actively looking for new opportunities, at least not in a way that consumes a large amount of your time. However, an online identity can still help to create more of the opportunities you want.
So remember - you can't take advantage of an opportunity for advancement if that opportunity doesn't exist. Building and maintaining an online identity that brands you in the best fashion possible gives you a competitive edge in the marketplace and a head start in your quest for more satisfying work and a more fulfilling career journey.

If you are currently seeking a new job, Time Staffing's team of qualified staffing specialists offers assistance to job seekers in the light industrial and clerical fields. We prep candidates thoroughly by answering their questions and addressing their concerns.

Are You Providing the 5 Things That Job Candidates (and Employees) Want?

10/21/2020

 
If there's anything that's become evident in the employment marketplace during the past five to 10 years, it's this:

No matter the size of the candidate pool, big or small, finding and hiring the right people is as difficult as it's ever been.

You don't want to hire just anybody. You want to hire a great candidate, the kind of person who will turn into an employee who can make an immediate impact and continue making an impact throughout their tenure with your company (which will hopefully be a long and prosperous one).

However, because of the COVID-19 pandemic and prevailing economic conditions that exist in this country, there are many people who are averse to making a change - or entering the workforce at all, for that matter. That doesn't mean they won't do these things. It just means that they're hesitant to do so.

When you get right down to it, there are certain things that job candidates want in a potential employer. And when you think about it, your current employees want these things, as well. If you don't provide these things to them, then they might think about making a change. And in terms of your best employees, that is something that you do NOT want to happen.

Remember, the best job candidates in the market are very confident in their abilities. (That's part of what makes them great in the first place.) And if you want them to come work for you and your organization, then there are five things that you must offer to them. Those things are as follows:

  1. Challenging, stimulating work
  2. Opportunities for growth and advancement
  3. Chances to be recognized for their accomplishments
  4. An outstanding leadership team with vision and direction
  5. A healthy work/life balance with accompanying flexible schedule
Does your company provide these things - ALL of these things? Ultimately, you want to give great job candidates the right reasons to work for you... and your best employees the right reasons to stay with you!

If you need temporary or direct employees for your workforce, then Time Staffing can help! We have experience identifying and screening top-notch candidates in numerous fields for a variety of employers. Our goal is help you hire the right employee at the right time to get the right results.

The Link Between Your Online Identity and Your Personal Brand

10/14/2020

 
In our previous blog post, we discussed how The Matrix movie series actually reflects real life in regards to the importance of your online identity.

In this post, we'll discuss the link that exits between your online identity and your personal brand, especially as it pertains to your career. But first, a word about your "personal brand" vs. your "professional brand."

While it might seem as though these two are different, they aren't. Simply put, your professional brand is part of your personal brand—it exists within it. This mirrors real life, since your job or what you do for a living is only part of who you are.

That being said, when a company official "Googles" you for information, what they find is going to brand you in their minds - both personally and professionally. They're going to form an idea about what kind of person you are, what you like, what you dislike, what's important to you, what's not important to you, etc.

And they're going to form these ideas and brand you in their minds without even speaking with you or meeting you.

Consequently, it would be a good idea to construct your online identity with two goals in mind:

  1. Making sure that your online identity matches your real-world identity as closely a possible.
  2. Making sure that your online identity brands you as positively as possible.
So - what should you do? Pretend that you're a company official or hiring manager. "Google" yourself and see what search results are returned. Then write down what those results say to you about the person you're researching (if that person wasn't you, of course).

Then ask yourself these questions:

  • What was your first impression of this person?
  • Has this person branded themselves in a positive fashion - or a negative one?
  • Would you want to hire this person?
  • What questions would you have for this person, if any?
Based on your answers to these questions, what changes should you make to your online identity? Should you add information? Should you delete information (and maybe some pictures)?

Chances are good that changes of some kind need to be made, and you should make those changes as soon as you possibly can - for the sake of your online identity, your personal (and professional) brand, and your career.

The Matrix, Your Online Presence (Identity), and Your Career

10/7/2020

 
The Matrix series of movies was rather entertaining and thought provoking. However, the premise of those films - that in the future, people will exist in reality, as well as in a virtual world run by computers, might already be here.

After all, as a person, you exist in two places: in reality (the real world) and on the Internet (a virtual world run by computers).

Here's the first problem: your virtual or online presence often does not closely match your real-world existence.

Here's the second problem: the first place that potential employers often meet you isn't in the real world . . . it's in "the Matrix" (i.e., on the Internet).

Actually, for the purposes of this article - and the purposes of advancing your career - you should have more than just an online presence. You should have an online identity.

If you've been lax in the attention that you've paid to your online identity, ask yourself this question: if you knew for sure that a hiring authority would see what's online about you before they even speak with you or meet with you, how would that change your attitude about your identity?

Why is this a pertinent question? Because that's exactly what happens.

As you (hopefully) already know, hiring authorities "Google" the names of job candidates long before they call them on the telephone or invite them in for a face-to-face interview. They see what the Internet turns up, including what a general search returns, as well as what information is available on social media.

In our next blog post, we'll provide some additional tips for what you can do to construct an online identity that will do you justice - since that's the first identity that many potential employers are going to meet.

And when they do, you'll want them to echo the words of Neo from The Matrix: "Whoa!"

How to Know When It’s Time to Hire More Employees

9/30/2020

 

The #1 Rule and Foundation for Professional Success on the Job

9/23/2020

 
There are many factors that contribute to a person's success, both personally and professionally. However, the one that we'll be addressing today could be considered the #1 rule and the foundation for success. And that certainly includes success on the job.

That foundation is personal responsibility, and the #1 rule regarding personal responsibility is that you must be willing to take responsibility for yourself and for your actions (or inactions) while at work.

Taking responsibility for yourself is the first step to showing your value as an employee. After all, you don't need special skills or training to do this. You just have to make the decision to do it. It’s that simple.

This is an opportune time to point out how important decisions are in regards to your job and your career. Specifically, how important making the right decisions are.

It should not be surprising that making the right decisions is critical to enjoying more success. After all, there's a good chance that your parents or other people have been telling you that all throughout your life. That same principle applies to the workplace.

What does taking responsibility for yourself mean? It means making conscious decisions about the following things, among others:

  • Your attitude
  • The amount of energy and enthusiasm you bring to the job
  • How you treat and react to your co-workers
  • The amount and the quality of work that you do
  • Your desire to learn more and continue to improve
  • How you respond in the face of adversity
  • How you react to success and to praise
The bottom line is that employers, including your current employer, want people who take personal responsibility in these areas. Employees who take responsibility for themselves are more valuable than employees that do not.

So if you want to excel in your job and grow your career at the same time, this is where you start. Because you can't go wrong with taking responsibility for yourself. It is the sign of a valued, productive, and trustworthy employee.

If you are currently seeking a new job, Time Staffing's team of qualified staffing specialists offers assistance to job seekers in the light industrial and clerical fields. We prep candidates thoroughly by answering their questions and addressing their concerns.

Earlier this year, Time Staffing won ClearlyRated's Best of Staffing Client and Talent Awards for providing superior service to their clients and candidates.

4 Benefits of Building (and Maintaining) a Positive Reputation

9/16/2020

 
Personal branding has been a catchphrase in the employment marketplace and job market for the past several years.

However, personal branding is just another way to say "reputation." Because essentially, your reputation is what people think about you, and what people think about you is your personal brand. Specifically, what people about the experiences they've had with you constitutes your personal brand.

As you might imagine, your reputation - or personal brand - is integral to your success. Below are four benefits of building and then maintaining a positive professional reputation:

#1 - Increased job security

Employees with a stellar reputation are less likely to be laid off. It's not impossible for them to lose their job, mind you, it's just less likely. That's because those employees with less than stellar reputations are typically the ones that management believes they can do without.

#2 - More likely to be chosen for important projects and assignments

Managers are more willing to give critical assignments to those employees with positive reputations. That's because they know they can trust those employees to get the job done and also get the job done right. This is a sign that management believes you are a valuable employee, which is exactly the type of employee you want to be.

#3 - Better chance for a promotion and/or a raise

If you want to advance through the organization, this is the way to do it. In addition, it's the way to secure more compensation for the work that you're doing. Anybody who is serious about their job and serious about their career is probably interested in getting a promotion and a raise. Your professional reputation is one of the deciding factors in whether or not you receive them.

#4 - Better options for future employment opportunities

Let's not forget the future, shall we? After all, unless you plan on staying at your current employer until you retire, then you'll be working for another organization eventually. It's just a matter of time, and you want to be 100% prepared when that time comes.

Whatever you want to call it, your reputation or your personal brand, what people think of you does matter in the professional setting. This is especially the case if the people in question have control or influence over what can happen to you in that setting.

So strive to build (and maintain) the best reputation possible in the workplace.

The Two Critical Areas of Job Success That Apply to Everybody

9/9/2020

 
How, exactly, do you determine job success?

The first step is determining which areas or aspects of your job should be measured in terms of success. After all, as the saying goes, "If you can't measure it, then you can't improve it." And enjoying professional success is all about continual improvement and development.

The two critical areas of job success are as follows:

#1 - Technical skills and aptitude

Technical skills is another name for "hard skills." These are the skills that involve the technical aspects of your job. For example, this would include working with machinery. If you're working in an office setting, it would include working with a computer and with related computer software programs.

As you might imagine, the greater your proficiency with these skills, the more valuable you will be to your current employer. And the more valuable you will appear to any potential future employers.

#2 - Everything other than technical skills and aptitude

This includes everything else that you do in the workplace and how you do it. While technical skills are often referred to as "hard skills," these are commonly labeled "soft skills," since they often pertain to how you interact with other people.

However, this also includes intangible attributes such as your attitude and work ethic. Once again, these are forms of value for your employer. The better you are in these areas, the more valuable that your employer will consider you to be.

Take a few minutes to evaluate yourself in these areas. First, how proficient are your technical skills? Would other people consider you an expert in a certain area or areas? If so, which ones?

And what about everything other than technical skills? How well do you work with others? How would somebody else characterize your attitude and work ethic?

These are important questions to ask. That's because your answers can provide you with a starting point in terms of your efforts to improve and enjoy job success and career success in the future.
