[responsivevoice_button buttontext=”Play”]

 

Before we get to the root of this article, you will need to understand the reason for the telephone interview. Most people think that the phone interview is what is going to get them the job. This is a common misunderstanding.

Tips for training new employees

For an employer, there is always some amount of risk when hiring new employees.  You want to find people who are qualified, available, and responsible.  You want to find people who are personable and who can work well with others.  The application, interview, and hiring process is designed by each company to ensure that, to the best of the company’s knowledge, each new hire has the necessary qualities and traits that will allow them to succeed and to be valuable to the company.

So what is the risk?  The risk lies in the simple fact that no application process or interviewer can truly predict the effectiveness a new hire will offer once they begin working.  Training them for the task assigned is an obvious way to set them up for success, but everyone knows that the ability to get the job done is not the only quality a company needs from an employee.  An employee needs to understand the values that drive the company’s success, or the mindset that makes the company what it is today.

How to get a great internship?

Given the current state of the job market, many college students are growing more and more concerned about their job prospective when they graduate. A great way to not only explore careers, but to get your foot in the door with your dream company is through internships. They are an incredible learning experience and often help you land that full-time offer by the time fall rolls around.

Where do I start?

The problem with internship-seeking is many students don’t know where to start. Career centers are a good place to start and are found on most (almost all) college campuses. Stop by your career development center and have a counselor guide you through the different options that are available for students at your school. There are probably many programs that you can apply to that you’ve never heard of and the counselors are there for a reason! Maybe you’ll come across an opportunity that you’ve never heard of!
