I Appreciate Your Comments, Daniel

Posted by: "Eric Nilsson" ericnilsson@earthlink.net   eric_s_nilsson

Fri Feb 26, 2010 6:52 am (PST)



Daniel,

I appreciate what you wrote and I wasn't chiding you; it's jarring to be
called "Mister" after all these years (and I'm less than my father's age).
In case you don't know, I have a rather bizarre sense of humor. Also,
notice that I usually save only one or two threads in a conversation; each
of us has the SENT version, so we can go back at some point to follow the
"conversation". This stems from when I had a telephone modem with a
"blazing" speed of 28,800 baud.

To be honest (a very trite expression that implies I was previously being
dishonest), I didn't think I sent stuff back 2 years ago to the Dover PSG;
if I did, it was when I joined it. I've been a member of PSG New Brunswick
since 3/19/2004 and my number there is 7787. I have taken what is termed an
"Associate Member" status, meaning I am active but don't specifically fit in
to any department. The reason for this is last year, I expected to be
taking a great deal of time off for my father (I am his transportation);
eventually, it turned out that my wife broke both arms in the space of two
months, so I rarely left the house. She's OK now, but I actually had to
work (physical labor), something with which I am unfamiliar.

Regarding emails, there are a few ways to stop receiving tens of emails from
a Yahoo group, the easiest (and the one I use) being the Daily Digest (DD).
For example, I sent out about 15 emails to PSG Dover yesterday, so that's 15
you receive; the daily digest holds all emails and then either sends out the
oldest 25 for that day or sends all emails out the next day. If there are
51 messages sent from Yahoo members, you would probably get 2 or three Daily
Digests a day, one containing the messages that hadn't been sent from the
previous day and the other two containing 25 messages each. I receive the
DD and look for messages of interest; when I'm done, I chuck the DD. The
nice thing about Yahoo is you can change your email preferences as often as
possible, so if the DD doesn't work, you can go back to option 1 (All Mail)
or options 3 and 4 (Web Only or no emails). You would have to look and see
about preferences because I have them set to my needs and don't usually go
back to them.

I no longer post to PSG Morris or PSG Technology (the IT portion of Morris);
this avoids sending something that others send. However, I do send these to
you directly (along with one other person and four Yahoo groups). Sorry
about numerous emails, but I try to send what I think is best.

Again, thanks for the remarks and keep reading (the articles I send and
Thomas Sowell's books; they are better than the articles, just longer and,
at times, seemingly unrelated to any specific interest).

Eric

Subject: RE: Reply #2 Re: [PSGMorris] Article: How Recruiters Read

Hello Eric,

Let me respond to your email reply to me. Please excuse the
lapse of time in my response to you.

First, my expressing emails to you using the "Mr. Nilsson"
greeting is both my showing of respect to you and your work.
Your email work on the employment "tips" subject I view as
absolutely, outstanding ! And, I say again thank you for the
articles. I both enjoy and learn from many of them.

Second, since March 5, 2008 I have kept more than 179 of
them. While some are a little repetitive, and some are very
basic, the vast majority are fresh, attractively packaged, and
provide solid tips for those looking to best present ourselves
to re-enter the job market. Some of your articles even discuss
the painful emotions people go through. From time to time
reading about the anger, insecurity, frustration, and even
depression that many job seekers experience is, oddly enough,
reassuring to many.

With respect to the number of email missives per day, yes, there
are some days we get a lot, like today. I would think 3
possibly 4 in any day would be sufficient, although I am
sure there would be a wide diversity of opinion on that point.

The delay in responding to you was due to me reviewing the many
emails you have sent since March, 2008. Sounds like you go
through a lot of work to read and present these "helpful hints"
to us.

Daniel

About a Previous Post

Posted by: "Eric Nilsson" ericnilsson@earthlink.net   eric_s_nilsson

Fri Feb 26, 2010 7:44 am (PST)



To all:

I posted a message to someone and needed to see the groups to which I post.
While the information derogated none, my seeing it from someone to whom it
was not intended highlighted something I have noticed in the past.

Each email sent through groups comes with a caveat. If you post to the
group, hundreds of people can read a private post; this has happened in the
past and is embarrassing to both sender and recipient. If you have
something private to send, make sure you are posting your message to the
recipients intended. While my post is probably more bizarre than some, it
was in no way intended to offend anyone. However, just as you would not hit
"REPLY ALL" when speaking about confidential matters, you should understand
that unless your message is intended for a group, you should reply privately
using the recipient's address.

I regret having posted a private email to groups and I apologize to all.

Eric Nilsson

PS: Thomas Sowell's books on Economics are very good; I recommend them to
anyone who wants an understanding of the subject.

Job Hunting - Should I Use an Employment Agency?

By Marie Duffoo

Having owned an employment agency (South FLA Staffing and National
Affordable Staffing) and a nanny agency (Sitters to Go) for years (up till
2007), I can say first hand that many agencies provide some valuable
services to job seekers of all levels and qualifications. Usually.

However, as the economy goes bottoms up, many things occur. Employment
agencies frequently suffer. Many go out of business and others become so
inundated with resumes and applications that they can't keep up with the
work load. Their reputations suffer, and applicants are happy to complain at
the poor service or lack of response of any kind.

Using an agency will have different results in different economies for
different people, as we shall learn here.

For the larger well established agencies, regular clients who are in a
position to hire will usually choose to use an agency for one major reason:
they know that every job opening will result in hundreds of applications
from mostly unqualified applicants. They prefer to spend the money on an
agency fee in exchange for the agency handling all applicants, interviews,
screening, interview scheduling, vetting, etc.

Job markets have bear economies and bull economies. Staffing agencies go
with the flow. When there are many jobs and fewer applicants, agencies will
try to force you into interviewing for jobs you aren't interested in and
really aren't qualified for. They are doing everything possible to fill the
job orders they have and get paid. In that type of environment, their major
concern is satisfying the client and making money. The applicants are
nothing more than a means to an end. Collateral.

In an economy where there are more applicants than jobs, agencies are pretty
useless. They are probably understaffed and can't handle the influx of
candidates submitting applications and resumes for jobs that are advertised,
and even worse - just blindly emailing, faxing and submitting via websites,
resumes in the hopes that there might be jobs in the future.

Have you wondered why you aren't getting responses to even jobs that exist?
They are either too busy, or worse case, your resume is poorly presented and
/ or your cover letter doesn't provide enough beneficial information to
entice someone to call you back.

When the average response rate is 1 out of 100 for who gets responses, it
should be obvious fairly quickly that employment agencies work in their best
interests, not yours. Don't put your faith in an agency when you know there
are few jobs.

Even when you are responding to a particular position an agency has
advertised, companies have their pick. It's like the lobster tank at Red
Lobster - it's tough to choose the one to best fit your needs. So what
happens? Probably nothing. Is the best candidate always hired? Probably not.

In today's economy, unless you see a particular job posted by a well known
agency, and you are more than 100% certain you possess all the
qualifications to be considered, and you honestly believe your resume and
cover letter are perfect, only then should you submit your information to
the agency, and reasonably wait for a response.

Competition is fierce. Do not waste someone's time asking them to review
your qualifications when you know you don't have what the company is looking
for. This is actually for your own good, for two reasons: you aren't setting
yourself up for disappointment, and you aren't waiting needlessly for a
response you'll probably never receive.

As the saying goes, "Every man for himself..." Contact companies that are
hiring and ignore the middle man. At least for now.

Article: Job Interview Follow-Up Techniques (AssociatedContent)

Posted by: "Eric Nilsson" ericnilsson@earthlink.net   eric_s_nilsson

Fri Feb 26, 2010 4:36 pm (PST)



Job Interview Follow-Up Techniques

By Jessica Simko

Takeaways

. Job Interview follow-up is key, but don't overdo it.

. Always do what you say you will do in the job interview process.

. Companies view you as a potential employee throughout the interview
process so act in the role!

In an economy where jobs seem hard to come by, it is so important that job
seekers use proper interview follow-up techniques. Interviews are very
important, no doubt, but when there are several very good candidates under
consideration, how a candidate handles him/herself, after the job interview,
should be carefully evaluated and considered.

Having worked in Human Resources for almost 15 years, I think I have seen it
all, good and bad! Be very intentional in how you go about this process.

First of all, always send a thank you letter (email) right away. In the
Internet era, this can and should be done rather quickly and not several
days later. I was always impressed to see a well thought out thank you email
submitted within hours of the job interview. While I did appreciate the
thank you letter that was sent via U.S. Mail, please refrain from using the
small thank you card type - you know, the kind that you might send after
someone attends your child's birthday party. I am surprised by how many
people use those little cards. If this is a professional job interview, it
would follow that your thank you letter should be typed in business format.
Thank you letters sent via U.S. Mail are good and will help if the process
is moving along at a normal pace. However, the process could be moving along
at a very quick pace and if so, your thank you letter might not arrive in
time. The process may have moved on without you in the few days your letter
took to get there.

If a week goes by since your job interview and you have not heard anything,
calling or sending another follow-up email is a good idea. However, I
strongly advise against it if you were specifically told to not contact the
company. Always follow instructions given to you. If you make follow up
calls after being told not to, it shows that you don't have the basic skill
of "following instructions". People who can't follow instructions seem to
fall off the radar screen in a job interview process.

I have seen job seekers call or email every day. That method is simply
overbearing and will lead people to believe you are desperate. Space out
your communications. If you call or email as a follow-up and do not get a
response, wait a few days or up to a week before checking in again.

Another must do item is to always do what you say you will do. This actually
goes into play before you even have your job interview. For example, if your
resume cover letter ends with "I will contact you within the week to set up
an interview", you need to do exactly that. Otherwise, why did you say it
and not do it? That's not exactly a trait they are looking for in their next
employee. If you promise to send references or other items, do that within
one day. It makes you look like you are on top of things and are a
dependable candidate.

After your job interview, if you are asked to fill out paperwork, an
application, or any other documents, do this immediately and do not wait
more than one business day to submit it. I have seen candidates wait up to a
week to send in paperwork. Remember, in every step of this process, the
company is looking at you as a prospective employee. If you don't send in
the paperwork within a day then the company might look at this as an
indication of your work style. Being reliable, dependable, and energetic is
exactly what they are looking for so you need to exhibit those traits
throughout the entire job interview process.

I had a candidate say she would fax me her employment application on a
Thursday. Thursday came and went and I did not receive it. She emailed me on
Friday and said that she could not find a fax machine and then she asked if
she could she scan/email it to me. Quite honestly, if that was the case, she
needed to call me and tell me that on Thursday. She was a highly considered
candidate who was eliminated from the process because of that one mistake.

The last critical item on the list to make sure that you return calls
quickly. I have contacted job seekers to request additional information (or
even to offer them the job) and have waited days before I heard back. In
cases where I had contacted the candidate to offer him/her the job and when
he/she finally called back, I listened carefully as to whether or not this
issue would be addressed. If it wasn't or the excuse for not calling sooner
was inadequate, I didn't offer the person the job. These type of things
really matter!

If you follow these job interview follow-up tips, they will definitely help
give you the edge over other job seekers. It is surprising how many people
fall short in this area. If you want to get the job, you absolutely need to
put your best foot forward and act like the employee they want to have
throughout the entire job interview process.
