3 Cool Tech Tools to Improve Your Job Search

HMG Success on September 5, 2016

Sept_2016_TechTools

 

Searching for a new job can be both exciting and overwhelming.  Whether it is working your way through applicant tracking systems, keeping multiple online profiles up-to-date, and networking through social media, technology has never been as prevalent in the process as it is today.  If you are looking for ways to stay ahead of the competition in your job search, having technology working for you instead of simply being with you, here are three innovative tech tools that can give you an edge.

Jobscan Your Way to a Better Resume

If it seems like you are never getting called in for an interview, it is possible your resume is to blame.  Many companies use automated screening processes designed to eliminate certain resumes based on the presence or lack of certain key information.  If your resume doesn’t fit the parameters, it may not even be seen by a person before being removed from contention.

In cases like these, Jobscan is the perfect tool to whip your resume into shape.  Jobscan takes your resume and compares it directly to the job posting to which you are applying, and provides guidance based what is, or is not, present in your resume.  This allows you to tweak your information to put you in the best position possible to have your resume seen by an actual person.

Purple Squirrel is Your Inside Connection

Purple Squirrel provides you with direct access to people who are currently working for your target company.  The current employees, referred to as Ambassadors, provide knowledge to those looking to become an employee themselves.  Interested parties can review the Ambassadors information, schedule a consultation, and receive feedback regarding potential next steps, all from one place.

While contact with an Ambassador does not guarantee employment, it can be used to learn about unadvertised positions, as well as obtain referrals from those who are currently connected with the company.

At this time, Purple Squirrel is still in beta, but you can apply for an invite from the site.  Additionally, Ambassadors can charge fees for their services, but all employment is verified prior to their account activation, so if you pay for a chance to talk to someone at your dream company, you can rest assured that they truly do work there.

The Premium Side of LinkedIn

LinkedIn offers various levels of premium membership, each with additional offerings that may be useful to a job hunter.  For example, the lowest tier plan, receive additional InMail message benefits and can retrieve more details about the people who view your profile.  The next tier provides advanced search filters and adds unlimited search options in your extended network.

There are more advanced tiers as well, allowing you to take as much control over your LinkedIn profile’s destiny as you wish, but even the lower tiers provide insight that can be used to craft a more effective profile.

Help From the Experts

Staffing firm professionals also have the ability to market you to companies and locate unadvertised listings.  If you would like help with your job search, contact Advance Staffing Solutions today!  Let our 25 years of staffing experience work for you.

Will you help us Race for the Cure, in memory of Lisa Greene?

HMG Success on August 26, 2016

Our team is comprised of co-workers, family, and friends of Lisa Greene. We decided to participate in the race last year after Lisa was diagnosed with breast cancer in the fall of 2014. To our surprise, Lisa agreed (she never sought the spotlight) and she was looking forward to being involved because it was a chance to do something proactive with those closest to her. Sadly we lost Lisa in February of 2015 but decided to press on with the race (Lisa would never have let us quit anyway). As a testament to the lives she touched we won an award last year for the largest first-time team! So once again we’ll walk or run, laugh and cry and keep on fighting for those who can’t. Lisa wouldn’t have it any other way.

4 Tips for Creating a Stronger Welding Resume

HMG Success on August 1, 2016

July_2016_welder

 

Your welding resume reflects what you have to offer to an employer.  When poorly designed, your resume may be tossed aside with little consideration.  To ensure your welding resume gets the attention it deserves, take a look at the following tips.

Start with a Strong Summary

The summary section provides recruiters with a quick introduction to what you have to offer, so make sure that it is concise and informative in nature.  Treat it like a headline, or billboard, used to entice the reader to want to know more.

Make Your Qualifications Stand Out

Include a section on your welding resume to highlight which skills you bring to the table, using bullet points to bring attention to your qualifications.  List relevant hard skills, such as specific welding techniques, and soft skills, such as supervisory experience.

Match your applicable skills to those listed in the job posting.  This can help your resume make it through automated screening processes and quickly establishes why you are a good fit for the position.

However, be sure to avoid listing skills that are often considered a given, or those that have little meaning, such as:

  • Hard Worker
  • Punctual
  • Familiarity with Welding Equipment and/or Safety Gear

These banalities are unnecessary and take up valuable space that could be used to address more important information.

Arrange Your Work Experience and Education

If you have experience working in the welding field, list your work experience before your education, especially if it is substantial.  If you have been a professional welder for some time, and the most recent position was in the welding field, list your work experience chronologically.  If the most recent position was in an unrelated field, consider listing your work history based on the relevance to the position.  This brings attention to the work you have completed that will be of the greatest interest to recruiters.

For those looking to enter the welding field, list your education first to demonstrate your credentials. The education you list can include degrees achieved, such as an Associate of Applied Science Degree in Welding Technology, or various industry-specific certifications or completed training programs.  This allows recruiters to see that you do have formal training before reviewing work experience that is not related to the field.

Confirm Your Contact Information is Correct

While adding contact information seems simple, it is critical that it is listed correctly. Confirm your name, email address and phone number are accurate, as these are the most likely ways a recruiter will contact you.  Don’t label your phone number or email address, as the format used is recognizable on its own.

If you are interested in finding a new position, the professionals at Advance Staffing Solutions are here to help.  No matter your experience level, they can help match you to job opportunities throughout the area.  Contact us today!

Start Offering Employee Feedback More Often for Better Results

HMG Success on July 8, 2016

Start Offering Employee Feedback More Often for Better Results

 

Employee feedback and recognition at work is vitally important to the culture of the company, the attitudes of the employees, and the overall success of the business. Everyone wants to be recognized and appreciated for the work they perform. In fact, status is not just about how much a person makes, but also the appreciation and recognition they receive on the job. The more often you give employee feedback at the office, the more likely they are to perform better.

Let Employees Speak

Too many companies do not let their employees speak. We aren’t talking about speaking with co-workers or sitting in silence throughout the day. Instead, we are talking about employees voicing their opinions about things at the office and asking them questions. Don’t always bark commands at employees. This causes them to get into a funk and procrastinate while on the job. Instead, ask your employees questions. Let them answer questions and give their opinions. This will make them feel appreciated by the organization and can go a long way.

Public Recognition is Important

Simply telling an employee they did a good job during a private performance review will not cut it anymore. You need to publicly recognize employees. This includes recognizing them during staff meetings, with a company-wide memo or a note posted to the announcements board in the break room. If you want to take it a step further and issue a press release with a photo to the entire company and even the media, go for it! When you recognize employees publicly, their co-workers will take notice and congratulate them in turn.

Let Employees Grow

Another important aspect of regular feedback with employees is letting them grow within your company and even outside your company. Employees want to have a sense of development within the company. It is one of the leading factors when it comes to employee engagement. Employees who know they are going nowhere within a company will not make an effort to work harder or strive for new goals. They will simply feel like they are stuck in a dead-end job.
If you want to truly give good feedback to your employees, make sure they have opportunities to develop within the organization.

Employee feedback is a critical part of a company’s success. When employees are recognized publicly for a job well done, they not only work harder, but their success rubs off on their co-workers, who want the same recognition.

If you’re in need of top-notch employees who will bring much to celebrate and praise within your workforce, partner with the staff of Advance Staffing Solutions. Our industry experts have talent pipelines full of high-quality candidates who are ready to start today!
