THIRD STEP...EMPLOYMENT!

We have been going through a short series, trying to explain what Care Placement Service is all about. As you know, or for the new readers, we are a non-profit employment agency trying to give a HANDS UP not a hands OUT. We started talking about Hope. The first things unemployed people need is the hope that their lives will improve if they got that job or career move. Next we talked about Structure. We offer many other resources to put your life on track, but without structure your life doesn't have a working road plan. When we have finished with those, we can proceed from unemployment to Employment.


But what are Employers really looking for when going about hiring an Employee?
Here are 5 key things that need to be met.

• CAN YOU DO THE JOB/CAREER? What is your track record? Do you just think you can do the job? Are you looking for a job you just want or a job you will work hard at because you know it? It doesn't mean you can switch jobs but make sure your back skills can get you there!

• WILL YOU BE SATISFIED WITH YOUR JOB OR LEAVE IN 6 MONTHS? Most employers are looking for at least 2 years, more for there level positions. They are also interested that in that time, will you be happy enough to continue showing up and on time, continue to being productive and continue to be likable.

• ARE YOU EASY TO WORK WITH? Most Employers will not hire someone who is rude, negative, or overly sensitive…no matter how skilled you are!

• HOW ENTHUSIASTIC ARE YOU ABOUT YOUR JOB/CAREER? Employers would much rather hire an employee who is excited about coming to work and really about life itself.

• DO YOU HAVE A STRONG WORK ETHIC? With the job market as it is, you must do more than the minimum required. Employers are not looking for the employee who jumps on Facebook when they think they are not being watched.

On our website www.careplacementservice.net you will see the following:
