Warehouse and Operations as a Career swung by the Belmar Integrated Logistics Garland office this morning for a quick visit and I caught Sharon and Ivan with a few minutes to sit down with me, so of course I grabbed the mic’s and took advantage of the situation for a bit. I’m Marty and today we’ll do a little follow-up on a few of the questions you’ve sent in over the last several weeks! I’ve got the people with us today that can supply us a few of those answers! I’m a member of several Job Boards in Dallas, Chicago, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Colorado and Illinois. I see so many individuals, who I’m sure are talented within their tasks struggling with getting hired. So since I’ve got two recruiters cornered lets maybe learn what we can do a little better!
Good Afternoon Sharon, welcome back to WAOC, we appreciate you sitting down with us at your offices today. How’ve you been since our last visit?
Sharon –
And we’ve met Ivan today, How are you doing today Sir?
Ivan –
Now I hear you’re kind of new to recruiting or sourcing, it feels nice helping to put us to work doesn’t it?
Ivan –
So Sharon, Everyone needs to work, we’re working to pay our bills and take care of our families. I know your main task is sourcing long term permanent positions. I don’t get to do as much recruiting as I’d like too but I do keep one foot in the arena, hence why I’m a member of so many Facebook Job Boards. Something that I see all too often is someone answering an ad with something like Info, or DM me or ask that you message them. With as busy as a agent is looking over 100’s of resumes, should we be doing something differently?
Sharon –
I’ve been talking about the importance of the Resume recently, Is it all that important? I think us applicants, at least in the Warehousing or Operations world feel listing our work history is sufficient. Pro’s/Con’s? Ivan let’s start with you, any opinions on our resume’s?
IVAN –
Sharon, are our resumes as important to you?
Sharon –
What do we need to know about a phone interview? That’s our first chance at a first impression right?
I’ve talked a lot about how we need to present ourselves on the phone and during that face to face interview on other episodes. I think we should to be confident and positive. Am I off the mark here Ivan?
Ivan –
Sharon, Lets say I’ve just lost my job, I was laid off an hour ago and I need a job. What should I do now? List out the step’s for me, I’ve got to work!
Sharon –
Ivan, do you have any parting words of advice for our groups listeners Sir?
