			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Although I am working as an employee, but I always try my best to adopt the entrepreneur mind set. It is important for an employee to think like an entrepreneur. This way, you program yourself to think out of the box. You will do more than an ordinary employee do. You will always do your best and be outstanding.</p>
<p>Recently I have come across a concept on earning £10000 in one hour. Don’t be misunderstand, this is not to teach your how to earn £10000 in an hour. Rather this is a concept that we should adopt deep inside our mind. You see, normally we have the mindset of fix salary, simply because this is how we get our pay. This is especially true for employee. We are paid either hourly, weekly or monthly with a fix rate. For example we get paid £5000 per months, £20 per hours and so on. This has made our mindset fixed to what we get. For instance if we get paid £50 per hour, we are programmed to believe that what we do only worth £50 per hours. We like to get the pay regularly because we need the money to pay our bills. We are bound to the sense of security here because we get stabil income that enable us to live comfortably.</p>
<p>However this creates a problem where we totally neglect the possibility of earning more than that. We cannot believe that we are able to earn £10000 per month. But the fact is that there are plenty of ideas that allows us to earn more than £10000 per hours. We just need to conditions ourselves to be able sense and catch this type of opportunities. We need to have our minds open to be able to do this.</p>
<p>As an employee, I think a good strategy is to get a job, but at the same time try to look for opportunity and ideas that can generate big income. The point is not to limit ourself in the fix salary that we are getting now. Think of the fix salary an income that can be use to cover our daily expenses. At the same time, keep ourselves open to the opportunities or ideas that can make us rich.</p>
<p>While we are enjoying the regular income of £50 per hour from our job. Lets not ignore the posibility of earning more than £10000 per hour.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you are in the hunt for a new job, resume formats are vital to this search.  Convenient for you, Microsoft Word can be utilized to spruce up your resume. Even if you are not a pro at resume writing, Microsoft Word can assist you in completing your task at hand.</p>
<p>Almost every job application requires some sort of resume.  The resume is one of the most important factors potential employers look at when evaluating you for a possible position.  A quality resume will help you get the job you are after.  If your resume is unformatted, loose, or printed on stationary, employers may eliminate you from the job consideration.</p>
<p>Contrary what some might think, it is unadvisable to use the standard default template that Microsoft Word provides.  Could you imagine how many other people have probably used that same template when applying for the same job you are after?  One idea that has been successful for me is to download a sample template that can be implemented into Microsoft Word.  There are many free resume templates available, so cost is not an issue.</p>
<p>Typically, resumes are formatted as follows: objective, achievements, honors, experience, education, skills, and ending with your hobbies or interests.  A variation of this format would be:  objective, experience, education, skills, interests, achievements, and finally honors.</p>
<p>From my previous experience, each will get the job done.  If you are interested in a job that is outside the writing industry, the second example works well.  A properly formatted resume is essential when applying for a job, however it is also advisable to use positive words throughout your resume.  If you use negative wording, many employers may discard your submitted resume.</p>
<p>Proper resume formatting is only half the battle when it comes to resume writing.  Bad grammar, poor word choices, and uninformative content can lead to a dismal resume.  The goal is to tie everything together to provide a well documented paper regarding your work history and prior experience.  Utilize the tools available online for resumes and you can land the job you are after.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Arrive on time.  Dress well.  Write a thank-you note.  Don’t lie on the application.  You have the job-hunting basics down, but the gods of employment have plagued your people with a drought.  Whether you’re interviewing after a layoff, seeking a change of employment or documenting your futile interviewing plight to milk yet another unemployment check, be aware of these five deadly interviewing sins.</p>
<p>1. Don’t get too friendly.<br />
You’re chatting with the interviewer, discussing professional experiences and swapping war stories; however, a relaxed interviewing environment is no excuse to become complacent in your professionalism.</p>
<p>An ex-colleague of mine was looking to migrate back towards substance-abuse counseling, his original area of study and expertise.  He was cordial, outgoing and a hard worker. He had plenty of experience and great references, but he met his downfall while making small talk.  After the interview, the hiring manager mentioned in passing that he had recently received a DUI.  My colleague, attempting to empathize, admitted that he, too, had received a DUI ticket.  On three separate occasions.  Lesson learned: get job first.  Tell war stories later.</p>
<p>2. Don’t forget to train rigorously.<br />
Reading job-seeking books, articles and studying potential interview questions are all great ways to prepare, but these resources don’t exactly put you in the interviewing hot seat.  You wouldn’t expect to run a marathon just because you’ve read several books about running, would you?  Get a friend or significant other to give you a dry run through a hypothetical interview with suggested questions from these books or articles.  Even better, if you know someone who is a hiring manager or works in human resources (for a different company, of course), ask them to administer the mock interview.</p>
<p>By humbling yourself and asking for the help of others, you’ll receive constructive criticism and be able to integrate another perspective into your response.  You may even be asked a question that you never considered answering, making great practice for unexpected interview surprises.</p>
<p>3. Don’t forget to shut up.<br />
When you’re done answering the question, shut your mouth.  The two deadliest kinds of interviewers we will refer to as the “poker face” and the “yes man.”  The poker face will ask you a question and give no signs of life during the answer.  In hopes of eliciting a smile, nod or comprehending grunt, you will elaborate.  And elaborate.  You will continue elaborating until you realize that the poker face is playing a game.  By the time you realize you are involved in a game, you have already lost.  Take this knowledge and answer the next question completely, concisely and without superfluous commentary.</p>
<p>The yes man is just as deadly, if not more so, than the poker face.  He will nod his head and seem to understand and agree with every answer.  Feeling encouraged by this enthusiasm, you will elaborate.  And elaborate.  You will continue elaborating until you realize that you could say your career goals to sleep with the boss, publish trade secrets and burn the building down, and the yes man would still nod his head.</p>
<p>In the yes man’s defense, sometimes he may actually agree with what you are saying at first, but, towards the end, every nod means “Yes, I understand.  Just like I understood ten minutes ago.  Please stop talking, lest I puncture my own eardrums with this letter opener.”</p>
<p>4. Don’t forget to tone it down.<br />
Everyone knows not to bad-talk a previous employer, but even a comment where you feel you have restrained yourself may ring sour with the interviewer.  If you’re jaded and bitter with your current job or the interviewing process, try to keep the disillusion to a minimum.  Take yourself to a happy place.  Reminisce about the time you unwrapped a vending machine sandwich, locked it in your manager’s file cabinet and allowed their office to smell mysteriously foul for weeks.  If your personality is sarcastic or dry, make sure to take this down a notch as well.  While your friends and family may understand your charismatic quirks, a complete stranger may not.</p>
<p>5. Don’t forget to bring enough supplies to make a Boy Scout proud.<br />
Bring a notepad, pen and three copies of your resume and references.  Taking notes shows a proactive attitude and commitment to the interview.  Additionally, these notes will be useful later when writing a personalized thank-you note to the interviewer.</p>
<p>If multiple members of management are administering the interview, make sure to provide a resume for each person.  Worst-case scenario: you only bring one resume and end up with back-to-back interviews, thus leaving you empty-handed for the second round.</p>
<p>Whether you’re rebounding from a layoff, looking for a different job or seeking excuses to stay unemployed, these tips will help you accomplish your objective.  By becoming aware of these deadly interviewing sins, you’ve taken the first step towards meeting your goal!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You have graduated high school or college and now you’re ready for your first ‘real’ job.  You’ve mailed out résumés and have been called in for your first interview.  How can you do well at the interview so you wind up being offered the job?</p>
<p>1. Dress professionally.  No midriff shirts, low-cut blouses or flip-flops because you’re going to work and not the beach. While it’s not necessary to buy a suit, it is particularly important to look professional. If you’re trying to get a job in a conservative office such as an accounting firm, don’t dress as if you were going to a concert.  If you are applying for a retail position, you have a little more freedom.  Rather than list what clothing is and is not acceptable, I would tell you to dress as if you were going to meet one of the most important people in your life- because you are!</p>
<p>2. Make sure you are well-groomed. Don’t look as though you just rolled out of bed and couldn’t bother to take care of basic personal hygiene. Nothing will make the HR Manager bring the interview to a close faster than unwashed hair, dirty fingernails or body odor. As an employee, you will be a reflection of the company and no customer wants to do business with an unkempt person.</p>
<p>3. Be aware of your body language.  A firm handshake at the start of the interview shows you are self-confident.  Maintain eye contact, stay relaxed and be attentive to the interviewer.  Ask questions and listen thoughtfully to the answers.  Think before you answer questions from the interviewer- don’t ramble and keep the conversation on the topic.</p>
<p>4. Be prepared for the interview.  Research the company beforehand- every business now has a website where you can learn what they do and who their customers are. This shows the interviewer you are interested in the job and took the initiative to find out all you could about the company.</p>
<p>5. Be present in the interview. I’ve interviewed candidates who acted as if they were waiting for a bus.  They didn’t ask questions, but instead just listened to me, and I wasn’t really sure if they were paying attention.  Be enthusiastic, ask questions and participate in the interview.  After listing all the duties required of the position, I asked one candidate if this sounded like something she’d be interested in. Her reply was a quiet, “I can do the job.” She didn’t answer my question, she seemed indifferent, and she didn’t get the job. If you can’t be excited in the interview, you’re not going to be energized in the workplace either.</p>
<p>First impressions count, and you want to let the interviewer know you want the job, are willing to work hard and will do your best.  You might not necessarily be the most qualified candidate, but still land the job because you were the most outstanding one.  Good luck!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Are rumors circulating throughout your workplace that there may be downsizing, a lay-off or merger?  Are you scared and don’t know what to do? These 5 tips can help you feel more in control of your financial situation:</p>
<p>1. Take a long, hard look at your monthly bills.  Are in up to your neck in debt? Now is the time to tighten your belt and try to get a handle on the interest rates you are currently paying.  Can you pay down some of your debt right away? Transfer to another, lower rate credit card? Should you refinance your mortgage or home equity loan?  Now would be the time to take care of this, not after you’ve received your pink slip.</p>
<p>2. What can you trim in your monthly budget? Stop buying those lattes every morning and save about £80 in one month.  Rent a DVD instead of going to the movies.  You are the only one who can decide what you can and cannot live without, but these are two good examples of the latter. Cut back on your dining out and you’ll see more green in your wallet right now, when you need it the most.</p>
<p>3. Be more aware as you pull out your wallet for every day expenses and decide if you really need to buy that item.  Now is not the time for a shopping spree to cheer you up. Instead, make an effort to be more aware of where your money goes every day, every week.</p>
<p>4. With gas prices sky-rocketing, should you consider buying a hybrid car, or at least one that gets better mileage? Do it now, while you’re still employed.  See if the dealership offers any customer incentives such as a rebate or lowered interest rate on the loan.</p>
<p>5. Do you know what benefits at work you are entitled to?  Take the time now to ask the Human Resources department what benefits you’re currently enrolled in.  If you have health insurance, be sure to get any physicals or medical tests now to make use of this benefit.  Take advantage of any dental or vision coverage you may have- get those eyeglasses or contact lenses updated now or schedule a visit for a check-up at the dentist. Those co-pays are a whole lot cheaper than paying full-price later.</p>
<p>Being aware of the situation, planning and taking action makes you feel more in control of your life.  Sure, you can’t do anything about being laid-off and in most cases, (unless you committed gross misconduct on the job) it’s not your fault. It’s a management decision that will probably wind up changing your life for the better.  See this as a new opportunity, not as a loss, and your positive attitude will help you find a new job soon.  Good luck!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Toiling away at our daily grind, we dream of running away to Hawaii or the South Pacific where we can lie on the beach and do absolutely nothing.</p>
<p>Some of us are lucky enough to take a vacation there and temporarily cut ourselves off from the world of responsibilities and demands and worries. We breathe easier, sleep deeper, eat more heartily. It is truly paradise.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s wonderful because we have a life waiting to be reclaimed when we step off the plane. Our job is waiting for us and we go back to work with renewed energy and zest from our long overdue break.</p>
<p>It is like the first few days of unemployment, that honeymoon period when we find ourselves with extra time on our hands and no reason to get up early or fight the rush hour traffic. But honeymoons are not designed to last forever and it is only when they are over, that reality and the hard work of building a marriage starts.</p>
<p>The obvious stressors of unemployment are widely recognized: financial strains, the drudgery and frequent humiliation of job search, the family disruption, the loss of self-confidence and self-esteem. While none of these can be lightly dismissed, we are going to concentrate for a moment on an area that is often overlooked. It can cause inner turmoil, pain, significantly increase the emotional fallout of layoff, and exacerbate the depression, anxiety, and negative self-view that so often follow.</p>
<p>To feel productive seems to be an inherent human need. We feel good about ourselves when we are contributing &#8212; to our own independence, to our family, to our community. Many of the great discoveries, inventions, and explorations of history were made by individuals born to family wealth who had no need to ever lift a finger to ensure adequate self-support. Yet these individuals wanted to contribute to the world in some way and left their homes, worked through the night, and even died trying to be part of some enterprise.</p>
<p>Those who sat back on their laurels, and never found any venture to engage them, lead empty lives, drifting through their days without personal value or commitment. Today we see their empty faces in the society pages and read the tabloids to hear about their drug problems and their tawdry efforts to find excitement and meaning.</p>
<p>Those of us - most of us - who have no choice but to work, dream of having enough money to have a choice. Few of us really want to drift around the world without goals or ambition. We simply want to do something meaningful to us rather than the career we fell into which has long since lost its charm and excitement.</p>
<p>It is when that career, boring and humdrum though it may be, is suddenly taken away, that we realize how much of ourselves is invested in the role we have worn for so long. Our belief in our own value is tied up and interdependent with our productivity. We feel a vital part of our marital partnership, someone our children respect and follow, an important person in our community who has earned the right to voice an opinion or vote for a principle. We bear ourselves with a certain pride in that we are bonafide members of the working class and clearly differentiate ourselves from those who fail to contribute: the welfare class, the criminals, the idle rich, the various parasites who dot the fringes of our society.</p>
<p>When we lose our job, the lines start to blur. Our sense of personal importance starts slowly to fracture. We see the reflection of ourselves in the eyes of our friends and family start to change. While we concentrate on finding other work and jumping through the multiple hoops required by any job search campaign, we also withdraw more and more into ourselves, seeking to escape the new image of ourselves emerging in the minds of those around us.</p>
<p>As a vocational counselor, I heard a repeated litany of concerns from spouses and family: &#8220;Since this happened, she&#8217;s totally changed . . . He&#8217;s not the man I knew . . . I don&#8217;t know who she is anymore . . . he won&#8217;t talk to me about what&#8217;s bothering him . . . I want my husband back. I don&#8217;t care if he&#8217;s working or not . . .&#8221;</p>
<p>Have you, or someone you love, fallen into this trap?</p>
<p>Address the problem now, before a situation not of your choice and for which you bear no blame, mushrooms into the too frequent personal devastation of the unemployed - broken marriages, family dispersion, substance abuse, shattered lives.</p>
<p>The discomfort and emotional pain of losing your job also provides an opportunity to cement bonds and build strength if you take action to address problems head on. Above all, communication must not lapse. In fact, it needs to be expanded and enriched. Reach out to family and friends, those who love you as you are, &#8220;warts and all&#8221; as the saying goes.</p>
<p>Express your fears and your worries. Let them know how uncomfortable you are and how disappointed you feel that you cannot contribute to the family in the way you always managed in the past. Seek out ways to be a productive, even if non-working, member of the team. Take on new chores and responsibilities around the house and with the kids. Pay extra attention to your spouse. You may not be able to afford presents or a night on the town, but you can give of your time and your appreciation, gifts more valuable than anything you could buy at a store.</p>
<p>Share the rigors and discouragement of your job hunting efforts. Those who love you want to share in your failures as well as your successes. Encourage them to share their own feelings and fears about your plight, and express their anxieties about the future. Not only do we tend not to express our deepest fears, we also tend not to consciously formulate and define them. They just sit at the back of our minds as a faceless, nagging worry. When we fail to bring them out into the open, where they can be clearly defined and therefore contained, we live in a constant state of unease. To comfort ourselves, we look for something or someone to blame: &#8220;Everything was fine until she lost her job . . . if he hadn&#8217;t got laid off, I&#8217;d be registering for college this year . . .&#8221; It is an easy slide from such vague thoughts to full-fledged blame and you become the scapegoat on which all problems can be hung.</p>
<p>If you are newly unemployed, take steps now to ensure that such a direction is avoided. If you have been out of work for a considerable period of time, and may have already seen this pattern develop, take the time to stop it in its tracks. Redirect your energies into developing a positive team spirit in which all can have a voice and a contribution. It can turn the destructive nature of unemployment into a lightning rod of family cohesion, strength, and deepened affection.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Need advice? Need help in conquering a particular challenge? Hire a consultant! Professional consulting has become one of the fastest-growing segments of our society. What do consultants do? They provide information and advice in exchange for a fee.</p>
<p>They can be found under a variety of names: accountant, psychologist, architect, designer,attorney, consulting engineer. Almost everyone within a society uses their services in one way or another.</p>
<p>What each of these consultants has in common is the need to identify and find clients, and to package their own unique know-how in a fashion that will appeal to others and be useful and meaningful. They find that marketing themselves is quite different than marketing a product that people can put their hands on. People still like to visually see what they are putting their money out for.</p>
<p>Many consultants know they could provide their service ever so easily from a private office in their home. They don’t need large areas to warehouse inventory, or to staff many employees. However, their clients need to see and feel an atmosphere that will justify spending money on. Hence consultants often can be found in luxury office buildings.</p>
<p>The service that a consultant renders is often difficult to describe. Some clients only use the services because forced to by law (such as needing an attorney). Some clients are encouraged by family members or friends to seek the services of a psychologist. Unless one is financially well off, there can be strong resentment in paying a consultant for advice. Clients need to feel they are receiving value in return – and to feel respect and admiration for the one who is doing the consulting.</p>
<p>Many consultants spend their working hours in large companies training and advising sales staff or increasing the morale of the employees. Proving that one’s services can provide large-scale differences in a large segment of a huge company requires positive feedback from prior clients and also strong marketing skills. Acquiring these marketing skills and putting them into practice consumes a large part of a consultant’s time.</p>
<p>Marketing requires planting many ‘seeds’ of what you have to offer. These seeds need to be spread as far and wide as possible in the areas where potential clients might see them. And, as we all know, not all seeds germinate and sprout. One of the safest ways for a consultant to successfully create a large marketing program is to apply the old standard rule of 80 – 20. Eighty percent of their income will come from 20 percent of their clients or leads (seeds).</p>
<p>By carefully analyzing which potential clients are going to be the most irritating and troublesome, and which will be a great joy to work with, consultants are usually able to eliminate eighty percent of the seeds and focus on where they can truly serve and make the best use of their time. This is how a consultant acts as his own consultant!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You have just been through a grueling interview.  The questions were tough and some just seemed off-the-wall and some were rather innocent.  What was the interviewer really looking for?  What did she mean by those questions?  Well, you can be certain that if you were interviewed by a seasoned interviewer, each and every question had a very distinct purpose.  Listed below are some common and not-so-common questions with the potential purpose of the question.</p>
<p>Common questions and what the interviewer is really looking for:</p>
<p>Question: Tell me about yourself?<br />
Answer: The interviewer is looking for you to talk about yourself and to reveal anything that she might not otherwise be able to ask.  For example, do you have kids?  Married? Hobbies?  Interests?  Single parent?  Let&#8217;s say the job involves shift work, the need to be at work at 7:00 every day or the flexibility to be on call?  Candidates with children are perceived to have more problems getting to work on time, miss more work because of children illnesses, school functions, etc.  Is this fair?  No.  Is this a reality for some hiring managers?  Absolutely.  So what to do.  Talk specifically about previous work, your desire to work, etc.  The only exception would be if you know for a fact you and the hiring manager have something in common that you can use to build interest with himher and that you would be a great fit.</p>
<p>Question: Tell me about the most difficult person you had to deal with?<br />
Answer: The interviewer could care less about the most difficult person you had to deal with.  What she is fishing for here is your ability to get along with people.  Do not answer this one too quickly.  Answering quickly suggests you have had to deal with a log of difficulty people which really suggests that you are the difficult one.  A better approach might be to tell the interviewer that you get along with everybody and that you do not have problems with difficult people.  Assuming that that statement is true, expand on your ability to pull diverse groups of people together to complete a project</p>
<p>Question: If you could have any job in the world, what would it be?<br />
Answer: While the obvious answer would seem to be “this job”, you might also talk about your desire to take the next step thereby giving the interviewer the thought that you are an achiever and willing to work hard.  It always amazes me how many people that I have interviewed are stumped by this question or answer it saying a surfing job.</p>
<p>Question: Tell me what you liked about your last job and what you disliked<br />
Answer:  Here is another one to be careful on.  Do not go on about all the things you disliked.  It leads the interview to think you do not like anything.  Even if your last job was really, really bad, focus on the positive aspects of the job such as the things you learned, the exposure it gave you, etc.  If you talk more about what you disliked, chances are you will say you dislike something that may be a critical part of the job you are applying for.</p>
<p>Question: Tell me about your favorite and least favorite manager<br />
Answer:  Again, this is a tricky question.  If you begin to talk about the things you dislike about your previous manager, the hiring manager will believe you have a problem with authority.  Focus on the things you have learned from previous managers.  Also talk about how you and a previous manager disagreed on an approach and how you worked the issue out.</p>
<p>As mentioned at the beginning of this article, an experienced interviewing has a reason for each and every question. While the question may seem innocent enough, how you answer it could decide whether you get the job or not.  Always to remember to focus on the positive aspect of your past.  Focusing on the negative will give the impression that you are a negative person and probably not the best fit for the position.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>How do you go about choosing an auto mechanic? Do you look for one that&#8217;s close to you? Do you just open the yellow pages and see who has the biggest ad? If that&#8217;s how you choose a mechanic, you may be in for a big surprise when you get your car or truck back. The most important thing to look for when you hire an auto mechanic is an ASE certification.</p>
<p>ASE certified mechanics have undergone extensive training and have been tested to prove that they know what they are doing. ASE stands for Automotive Service Excellence. Since its inception in 1972 the National Institute for Automotive Excellence has certified over 400,000 automotive professionals. The Institute says that their mission is to &#8220;improve the quality of vehicle repair and service through the testing and certification of repair and service professionals.&#8221; But how do they do this?</p>
<p>To obtain an ASE certification, mechanics must have 2 years of hands on work experience and pass at least one of their exams. Mechanics are required to renew their certification periodically to make sure that they stay up on the latest technology. This assures that the Institutes trademark &#8220;blue seal&#8221; remains meaningful.</p>
<p>To find an ASE certified mechanic, look for a blue seal with the letters ASE on it. Certified mechanics will proudly display it in their sop and on their advertisements. To locate an ASE certified mechanic, you can also visit the &lt;a target=&#8221;_new&#8221; href=&#8221;http:www.ase.combluesealsearchlocator.phpNational Institute<br />
for Automotive Excellence websites mechanic locator. You won&#8217;t be disappointed.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Most human resource managers today are limited to providing only the basics for employment verification.  Fear of litigation nullifies anything that may be deemed subjective or, more considerably, litigious.   Conducting the formal employment verification will typically return little more than the date your candidate started employment, the date he left, and the position he held.  You will often find yourself lacking the input needed to make an informed hiring decision.  Once in awhile, the HR Manager will be adventurous and respond that your candidate was “in good standing.”<br />
In fact, at the writing of this article, there was a radio program where the show’s commentator reinforced this principle.   The commentator admonished Human Resources Personnel that there is as much a danger in providing a positive reference as there is in providing one that is negative.   He went on to say it is important to keep all employment verifications as uniform as possible.   He suggested providing only the start date, completion date and the position held.<br />
Is this bare bones information enough to make an informed decision on an employment candidate?   Sometimes.  When the job is simple enough and no special skills are required… yes. Then all you need to know is whether or not your candidate actually worked at his previous place of employment.    You may need to know more about an IT candidate’s technical skills, but whether or not your candidate’s last job as a pizza boy can shed any real light on his abilities is open to debate.<br />
Because the typical employment verification yields such sparse information, more and more businesses are turning to the reference verification in order to find out more about their candidates and their respective skills.  While the reference verification can have its pros and cons, for a fair number of hiring situations it’s a smart way to go.<br />
Reference verifications can be best used to discern the skill sets of your job candidate.  Recruiters will employ the reference check to determine if their candidates are qualified in special skills and experience.   You may call upon references to define a job candidate’s level of IT skills, or his fluency with general and industry specific software programs.   You may wish to better understand his abilities in graphic and web design, which can provide essential considerations.<br />
As a recruiter, you may want to know more about your candidate’s networking capabilities, who he knows in his industrial sector.   If he is a sales person, you may know just how well connected he is in, say, licensing product in certain geographic regions.  For international candidates, when language capability is a concern, you can use the reference verification to help assess these abilities.<br />
Of course, there are other questions you may ask in your reference verification process.  You may want to know more about your candidate’s management skills or style.  You need to determine if he works well with others, if he is a team player or the sort that works better off by himself.  Does he show up on time?  Is he absent frequently?  What are the areas where he can improve?<br />
At Corra, as part of the verification process, we ask the reference to rate the employment candidate using a scale of one to ten.  Ten is the highest score.  Usually, to be considered a viable employment candidate, our clients would like to see at least a seven rating.   Seven and up is considered pretty solid.<br />
Sometimes the reference gets carried away and barks out a ten.   Most employers will look at this as boosterish.  But there are the exceptions.  If the reference is an upper level executive and qualifies his or her statement with such phrases as “I’ve been around for umpteen years and rarely have I seen someone work as well as So and So,” the employer will take it more at face value.<br />
In most cases, the higher level ratings are a nine or nine plus.   The reference will often qualify his rating with “Everyone has room to improve…”<br />
Always bear in mind the reference that your job candidate supplies you, will be a favorable reference.   No candidate in his right mind would give you references that would go out of their way to sink his ship.   Sometimes the reference may not find the candidate as favorable as the candidate would like to believe.  While the reference wants to be a good person, they may also want to divulge the more negative aspects as well.  There is any number of reasons for doing so.   Sometimes they wish to give you a heads up.  Sometimes there are personal issues.   Sometimes they are just covering their butts.<br />
The reference may not tell you directly that the candidate is tough to deal with or is someone who they would never hire again.   Yet they would like to.  So it is not the answer itself, but the way they answer that serves as the indicator.   It’s what they don’t say or their hesitation that provides the tipoff they were less than thrilled with your candidate.<br />
Listen for the speech inflection, the hesitation, or the reference’s struggle to find the right word or term.   Sometimes they are working so hard at being diplomatic you can glean a more negative appraisal.  Sometimes, if prodded, they will tell you a little more about the downside of your candidate.   Sometimes that won’t veer from the positive appraisal, but while they don’t say it outright, there is something in the way they answer that can tell you more than they had wished.   Or, they told you exactly what they wanted to say, but with plausible deniability.<br />
It should be noted for the rare but embarrassing occasion that when you get a reference contact information, make sure they are a legitimate source.   Either insist on the business phone number as well as their cell number, or find some way to substantiate that the reference isn’t your candidate’s cousin Larry pretending he is the former CEO of Nonexistent Enterprises ready to give your candidate a really great review.  Think it doesn’t happen?  Think again.   But then you might weigh your candidate’s penchant for duplicity against his daring and creative thinking.  Just kidding.<br />
Here are some of the questions, you may wish to use when conducting reference verifications—<br />
Date:<br />
Candidate name:<br />
Reference name:<br />
Reference TitleCompany:<br />
Company where they worked together:<br />
Relation to Candidate:<br />
Reference Phone:<br />
Confirm Candidate’s Title and Dates of Employment:<br />
1)    Did the candidate report directly to you?<br />
If not, what was your working relationship?<br />
2)    What were this person’s main responsibilities?<br />
3)    a. What are this person’s strengths?<br />
b. What are some areas in which this person can improve?<br />
4)    How does this person work with others?<br />
5)    In what ways does heshe respond to stressful (high pressure) situations?<br />
6)    Did heshe ever have a problem with tardiness or absenteeism?<br />
7)    What advice would you give hisher future manager in working with, and motivating this person?<br />
8)    Would you rehire this person?  If not, why?<br />
9)    On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being best), how would you rate this person’s overall performance?<br />
10)    Do you have any additional comments that you feel would be helpful?<br />
Of course there are variations upon the theme, so you can be resourceful in choosing reference questions to fit your company’s particular needs.   Be uniform in composing these questions.  Otherwise, it becomes a cumbersome process, and you can risk driving your researcher crazy.  There is also the issue of fairness and how it affects the rules governing employment law.  So be consistent.<br />
Reference verifications can be a great tool for the pre-employment screening process. It can be an effective background check, when you use it wisely.</p>
