Article Check - The 30 Second Scan - An Employer's Perspective
Some people have always known what their dream career is but some haven’t quite worked it out. Dissatisfaction with your career cannot always be fixed with a promotion or a pay rise. Sometimes we actually don’t ‘fit’ our chosen occupation. Perhaps you’ve always wanted to be a landscaper but have wound up as an accountant. Perhaps you would love to be a nanny, but found yourself working as a receptionist. There’s that saying about the square peg and the r

The hiring outlook for flight attendants has brightened considerably over the past few months. Led by United Airlines’ recent announcement that they would immediately begin to hire up to 2000 new flight attendants, this news has sparked the most attention. If you are interested in becoming a flight attendant, the market is the best it has been in five years. Let’s take a look at who is hiring or who can be expected to hire over the next year.Le
Do you think a 30-second scan is ridiculous? When you consider how important filling a vacant position must be to an employer, that isn’t a very long amount of time, is it? Why wouldn’t an employer want to read EVERY resume to make sure they were hiring the right person for the job? Surely there is no way to properly get a feel for someone in 30 seconds.
Well, think about it from a hiring manager’s point of view.
The day starts at 7:00am with a bang – the phone rings, there are email messages to answer and a meeting with marketing at 8:00am to go over the recently vacated Brand Manager’s position.
From there, a round of interviews for an opening in the executive suite for an Administrative Assistant have to be performed with little or no time to review the resumes prior to interviewing each candidate.
Next thing you know, it is lunch time, but hey, there is no time for that since a meeting with Benefits Administrator is next on the schedule and the recent changes in the medical plan have caused a lot of headaches in trying to recruit new sales associates.

Have you ever heard of William H. Russell? His company’s name was Russell, Majors, and Waddell, and they hauled freight.Let’s say you want to ship some pots and pans across the country. If you contacted Russell’s firm way back in 1860, they could give you a price to put your stuff on a wagon, and take it across the country by wagon train.This trip could take weeks, and that’s if there were no breakdowns. Maybe their slogan was something lik

Copyright 2006 Cari HausThere’s a new sub shop in town, and their service—and food—are exceptional.

I wasn’t really trying to be a walking billboard, it just came naturally.That, of course, is what every thinking business person wants to have customers do for their business. What

Are you going to print them on a home printer, in a shop, or order them over the web? All these questions tie together in various ways to make a surprisingly complicated decision. What you choose will ultimately depend on what your priorities are.When it comes to whether you should hi
After that shouting match, it is time to check the latest HR new hire reports to set up the next round of orientation meetings as they are supposed to take place every 2 weeks and it is already a week past that.
A 2:30pm phone call to the HR assistant who handles the orientations leads to a dozen more phone calls to get the conference room scheduled as no one wants to give up their time slot for anyone else.
It is nearly 4:00pm. A quick trip to the restroom ends up taking an hour as the recently hired Sales Director pauses to lash out about the medical benefit changes which were not a part of the original employment agreement.
The final meeting of the day consists of all HR managers discussing, usually all at one time, the impending acquisition of a new company.
Before driving home, a 4 inch stack of resumes are stuffed into a briefcase to be reviewed at home after the children are in bed.
Now, does a 30-second scan seem a little more reasonable?
