Comments on: ASK HR: Are online job sites really used by hiring managers for selecting potential job candidates, or should an applicant be using other ways to get recognized? http://blogs.ajc.com/hr-roundtable/2009/09/11/ask-hr-are-online-job-sites-really-used-by-hiring-managers-for-selecting-potential-job-candidates-or-should-an-applicant-be-using-other-ways-to-get-recognized-by-hiring-mangers/ Atlanta recruiting and human resources pros share insights on succeeding at work Tue, 21 Sep 2010 15:19:45 -0400 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Jobi Mathew http://blogs.ajc.com/hr-roundtable/2009/09/11/ask-hr-are-online-job-sites-really-used-by-hiring-managers-for-selecting-potential-job-candidates-or-should-an-applicant-be-using-other-ways-to-get-recognized-by-hiring-mangers/comment-page-1/#comment-269 Jobi Mathew Tue, 21 Sep 2010 15:19:45 +0000 http://blogs.ajc.com/hr-roundtable/?p=313#comment-269 I like the idea that you are going for a customer service position without much experience because you like the store. Many of us would consider any position just because it is available. Show the interviewer your enthusiasm and keep a positive attitude.

If anything, managers will focus on employee referrals and their networks (LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, etc) to identify qualified candidates and hopefully their networks are diverse to mitigate risk of adverse impact. -Danese Simpkins, MS, PHR, Director, Human Resources, Air2Web" Well that's just great. Not only are we unemployed through no fault of our own, but now we are not to be trusted, either. “….In this economy, hiring managers cannot solely rely on these tools because there are thousands of individuals that are unemployed and now more than ever is the chance that candidates will “stretch the truth”.

Well that’s just great. Not only are we unemployed through no fault of our own, but now we are not to be trusted, either.

Let EVERYONE know you are out of work and ask them to keep their ears open. Also keep in touch with your previous supervisors as they will be able to refer you to openings they hear of. Be open minded...consider internships and volunteering as they may lead to jobs openings in the future if they see you are a great resource. I agree with most people…utilize social networking.

I don't have any retail experience I know that customer service plays a big role for this position. I know what customer service meants to be. would this be a problem for me from getting hire. I love this retail store and I think this is a opportunity for me to use my skills and as well use new skills. I need some advice for the interview, haven't been in a interview in a long time.
