My Reaction to The Comment War That Was

My Reaction to The Comment War That Was 19 Flares 19 Flares A week ago I composed what many have called the best post here on Corn at work. One individual went the extent that expressly calling me to state it was the best blog entry hed ever perused. In any case, it's not possible to satisfy everybody, and the (about 80!) remarks on post demonstrates that reality. 6 Reasons You Dont Have a Job wasnt intended to affront anybody. Yet, it did. Oh my goodness, it positively did. In the disputable blog entry, I offered six of the most happening reasons why individuals are unemployed. While I didnt list the economy as one of the six, I unmistakably expressed that the economy is definitely a factor, yet most blame it, bringing about scarcely keeping their head above water, or more terrible, letting the reason of the economy power their own moderate suffocating. State what you need, yet its equitable reality. For those insulted by the kick in the ass I served, grow up and utilize my words as inspiration to work considerably harder. That is everything I can let you know. On the off chance that you dont fall in those 6 reasons or the economy, at that point for what reason would you say you are so disturbed? Im obviously not discussing you. The lion's share were outraged when I said that vagrants arent as employable as the non-destitute. I do apologize if this put on a show of being brutal or striking, however it surely takes significantly more work for the destitute to find a new line of work. This was intended to light a fire under the ass of those that essentially arent buckling down enough to discover work. Rather than bringing a little fire, my words lit a short breaker to a stick of explosive. Furthermore, guess what? I love it. A little feeling/energy never hurt. You should restrain a portion of that and use it. Presently to discuss the remarks that very pissed me off and are completely ludicrous. In two of the referenced reasons (Poor Resume and Poor Interviewing Skills), rather than offering long guidance and tips, I proposed that my administrations be employed. In excess of several remarks recommended that I am self-serving and that my solitary inspiration for running Corn at work is to bring in cash. How could you? Do you have any thought to what extent, and how long Ive taken a shot at Corn at work? Do you realize what number of individuals have profited by my screwing free guidance, stories, tips, week after week #JobHuntChat on Twitter, and general eagerness to address inquiries through email, Twitter, and Facebook? No. You evidently dont. Did you EVER believe that you could essentially discover the COTJ Search Bar and type in the words Interview or Resume? In the event that you did that, you may discover 15-20 FREE blog entries on those topics. It just takes 5-10 seconds to utilize the inquiry bar, and I trust you do utilize that apparatus. My expectation here is to help individuals and offer however much free guidance as could be expected. I guarantee that on the off chance that you invest some energy, youll discover the assets you need. On the off chance that you should know, I need your cash on the grounds that in that specific blog entry, I would never cover each motivation behind why your resume is horrible or why youre a dreadful at talking. Truly, the potential outcomes are huge, and I could compose a whole post, or even a book on each. As opposed to offer general tips that most likely wont help, I proposed what I know would help. That is my activity. So the offer is still there. You pay me cash, and consequently you leave a superior interviewee, with a superior resume, and more trust in your pursuit of employment. Or on the other hand hello, you can simply utilize that search bar and read several free blog entries. That decision is yours my companion. My time is positively worth your cash, however dont get it curved. Im 200% about helping work searchers. Ive demonstrated that again and again. The inquiry you ought to present is, would you say you are helping yourself?

What exactly is a company culture

What exactly is a company culture What exactly is a company culture? Question: What does company culture mean? I just read your response on “Job Seeker or Job Stalker.” You commented that recruiters, hiring managers, interviewers and anybody else you contact at the new company are watching your job search behaviors and asking questions such as “will you fit into our culture?” I have always wondered what “fit into our culture” means. What is a company’s culture? It tends to insinuate or have a hidden undertone â€" or it can be perceived in this manner. Overall, my focus is on the perception, simply because I work with college students. College students today are very diverse and I want students to take advantage of all opportunities. Advice from Dana: I am somewhat ambivalent about the fit into our culture discussion. Not just because our employees are so diverse and many value a flexible environment, but because there is no ONE culture inside any company. For example, within Microsoft, the cultures varied greatly between functions (engineering/development, marketing, operations, etc.) and varied based on the leadership team in place at the time. I also believe all employees need to learn flexibility and agility to work in a variety of cultures, as long as the culture is respectful to all diverse styles and meets the company’s value bar, which should be high. From another perspective, I must say that Im bored with the common candidate-to-interviewer question, Can you tell me about the culture here? Its a waste of a precious question as the candidate is only going to hear the good things, right? Glassdoor.com serves a good purpose since its the Yelp of company cultures. Finally, what does culture mean anyway? When I interview, the job skills I look for that tie with cultural fit are: Does the candidate respect other peoples time? For example, is he/she on time? Do they smile and seem like they can have a good time while working hard? Are they self-aware, humble? My obsession for college graduates today, in all fields and all levels (graduate school included), is to focus on winning the job in such a competitive environment. Compete to win that job based on your passion, skills, experience, and running a great job search process. Culture will be what you make it once youre hired and as you grow your career.
