10 Guidelines for Awesome Job Search References

Most employers will ask you to provide personal and/or professional references. Your resume and your answers during the interview showed you have the necessary skills to get the job done. Now they want to know what your former co-workers think about you… a picture of you, from outside perspectives:

10 Guidelines for Awesome Job Search References (The Savvy Intern)

En Español

Every employer asks for references, so a smart strategy can cover any question marks and reinforce your position for working. Because of the state of the economy, gone are the days where you get three references and send them off. Now, employers want to cover all their bases before they can offer you the position. For the employer, it makes sense: with a glut of qualified candidates, they want to be absolutely positive that they are not overlooking another (better) candidate. For the employee to-be, this means trying to cover as much of your references and experiences as possible, without having to let an employer guess about your work ethic and history. The article will give you a thought-out strategy to providing references, and what you should communicate to your references.

Cada empleador pide referencias, por lo que una estrategia inteligente puede cubrir los signos de interrogación y reforzar su posición de trabajo. Debido a la situación de la economía, se han ido los días en que usted consigue tres referencias y lo envia. Ahora, los empresarios quieren cubrir todas sus bases antes de que te puede ofrecer la posición. Para el empleador, tiene sentido: con un exceso de candidatos calificados, quieren estar absolutamente seguro de que no están pasando por otro candidato (mejor). Para el empleado a-ser, esto significa tratar de cubrir la mayor parte de sus referencias y experiencias de lo posible, sin tener que dejar que un empleador adivinar acerca de su ética de trabajo y la historia. El artículo le dará una estrategia pensada para proporcionar referencias, y lo que se debe comunicar a sus referencias.

How to Fill Out Applications When You Have a Record

You probably dread seeing the “Have you been convicted….” question on every job application you’ve filled out. It’s tempting to lie, but the probability that you will get caught is extremely high. Studies show that nearly 80 percent of employers will do some sort of background check (including criminal history). Some may do a background check before you’re hired, and some will run the check after you’ve been offered the job. No matter when they do it, if you lie on your application and the employer finds out, they can and will fire you immediately.

How to Fill Out Applications When You Have a Record (http://www.Snagajob.com)

Applying for a job with a criminal record is a difficult situation. Should you lie, and run the risk of being fired if the company finds out? Or do you run the risk of leaving the information out? Snagajob.com has an article on how to fill out applications when you have a record that gives applicants advice on what to do.

The reality is that if you’re unemployed and are collecting benefits, omitting information on a job application, getting that job and subsequently being fired for omitting the information is a major economic risk. The National Employment Law Project has produced a paper titled “65 Million Need Not Apply: The Case for Reforming Background checks for employment“. In a country where 1 out of 4 Americans has a criminal record, this is undeniably an issue that affects a large section of the country. If you feel that you were discriminated against because of your prior conviction, here are some links to agencies that can help you:
