“A 100 RESUMES SENT OUT PER DAY… EIGHT HOURS ON THE COMPUTER FILLING OUT APPLICATIONS EVERY DAY BUT, YET NO JOB INTERVIEWS…”

WHAT GIVES? Every day we have people that give their job search 1000% and they seem to never achieve the end result of getting selected for an interview. Every day they pump out resumes and do online applications by the 100’s and STILL no interviews. What’s going on? What is the solution? Can we flip their job search and turn an unsuccessful job search into a successful hire? Dr. Gett A. Long is part of the original employment gang here at the Used Job Shack and a nationally known expert (her picture is posted in most post offices in America and most locations are offering big money to find her…I guess to utilize her great talent and skills in the Workforce Community) and is here today with us to offer explanations and propose solutions. Gett told the Used Job Shack that any applicant that is sending out this volume of applications or resumes without (at least) a 30% success ratio may have well destroyed their opportunity to secure short term employment because they have saturated the local market with a bad or incorrectly done applications that they cannot (now) take back.

Dr. Gett A. Long told us that the greatest cause of not getting called for interviews comes from the applicant not connecting the dots between what an employer needs and what skills that they have that related to those skills. 80% of all applications get tossed because the applicant did not connect the dots either because it was too much work to individually inform the employer that you have the required skills or that the applicant assumed that everyone knows all of the different aspects of their job. Applicants need to understand that they are not the employer’s cousin and all that the employer will ever know about them is what the applicant puts on the application – if you are not connecting the dots – that is what happened to 80% of your applications. Dr. Gett A. Long explained that problem lies in the fact that less than 1-in-4 applicants study the job description posted by the employer before they fill out the application and they are using old lady luck to open an employer’s eyes and heart to their application. Most applicants confuse or do not know the difference between skills and experience (skills are what you can do and experience is what you have done). They tend to underplay or not list skills and this is a big mistake because the employer is seeking skills over experience. Skills and experience occasional overlap but, I saw four people yesterday that would have been hired if they would have talked about their skills instead of their experience (or lack of). -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TIPSTER: The most important thing that you can do for your job search is get control of your anxiety and quit wasting time doing hundreds of applications for jobs you don’t really want or that are too far away or that you don’t have the skills to do. This job approach theory (regardless of what you have been told in countless urban legends or at Workforce Workshops …as we know because we were those who taught such things…when we were younger, we didn’t care or worse didn’t know the truth)… does not work. This approach is the most destructive thing you can do…100 resumes/application sent out to employers for jobs you don’t want or can’t take are wasting your time and the employer’s time (this can come back to bite you…if later you need that job or they have a much better…dream job…you really want – as they will all too well remember you!) Sending out 100 resumes/applications for jobs you didn’t want prevents you from having the time to do (correctly) the two applications for the jobs you could have

got if you had taken your time to build a specific application based upon what they employer wanted instead of mindlessly sending you one-size fit-all resume or cookie cutter application. This week alone, I saw seven people lose a job to someone less qualified than they were. WHY? Because the more qualified person didn’t take the time to customize their information to match what they employer needed. They assumed that the employer would comb through their resume and connect the dots for them…they assumed that the employer would know that an auto mechanic is very skilled in customer skills (if successful they are)…or they said that it was too much work to customize an application because they are doing 100. See the problem? If you have the ability to make yourself the perfect candidate, why wouldn't you? If this doesn't make sense, then, I hope old lady luck shines on you or start to like losing jobs to people that don’t have your skills or abilities…for the 100 resume- per-day applicants…that’s the price you are paying and it is one of the biggest reasons they are still unemployed…Sorry! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

WE RECEIVED THOUSANDS OF UNSOLICITED RESUMES We didn't place more than a handful of these people. The likelihood that someone who sent a resume to us who was a perfect fit for a job we were trying to fill at the time was unlikely. If you’re not a perfect match on skills and experiences, your resume is unlikely to even be read. There is a lot of technology that matches a person’s skills, experiences and job titles to what’s listed

in the job posting. These resumes are automatically rank-ordered on a best fit basis. More important: recruiters spend no more than 10-15 seconds looking at a summary of each profile before deciding to read it. So even for those in the top of the stack, if the resume doesn’t stand out in some way, the person is unlikely to be considered. The big point is that you can’t rely on a lottery-like approach to job hunting by applying to as many jobs as possible with the hope you’ll be interviewed. Instead,

you need to use a sophisticated marketing effort based on how recruiters find people to fill their open jobs. When it comes to your career, the worst thing you can do is mistake activity for progress and then complain about your lack of progress. - Lou Adler 2014 Remember you heard it here first as we keep showing you how to beat this system with our much heralded RULE # 4 and ONET Online.

BE PREPARED TO INTERVIEW WITH ONE OF OUR MANAGERS…

www.hmshost.com CRITICALLY IMPORTANT TIPSTER:

Listen up! THEY NEVER PULL APPLICATIONS FROM THEIR WEBSITE UNLESS YOU ARE THE IRON CHEF AND ARE WILLING TO WORK FOR MINIMUM WAGE; doesn’t mean that they will hire you then…they may just want to see what is wrong with you. You need to bite the bullet on this if you want this job and really “GO OLD SCHOOL” after you apply online, look up their HR Office over at TERMINAL THREE at Sky Harbour Airport, and get yourself spruced up in your best AZ Casual Clothes (Trim any facial hair or shave…they are nice people but, they are old school too) and go over and introduce yourself while asking them to pull your application. If you impress them with your personality, availability and your motivation, they will. One last thing, UMOM Campers already know this but, if they hire you, it is based upon how you answer one question (both in what you say but, also, in how you say it). The question ties into motivation for the prep cooks, cashiers, hosts and a combination of motivation tied into you skill set (experience here counts) for the productions cooks and Baristas. You need to go over there with you “A” Game or do not waste the trip! The reason why you may want to do this can be found at www.hmshost.com. ============================================================

TIPSTER: You will not see the actual position posted on the website, apply to the closest one available THEN, when you go visit their HR OFFICE at terminal #3…(YOU ARE GOING OVER, RIGHT?) have a list of the positions that you applied for. Tell this way “I was interest in _____ position @ _______but, I am open to other opportunities that might be open or that you feel that I would be a better fit?”

DO NOT…DO NOT REPLY ANYTHING!” THAT WILL TAKE YOU FROM A SERIOUS HERO TO ZERO WITH THEM. Remember if you do not come across as serious about doing a specific job, specifically for them, then they will not do anything for you. By using the above script, you show that you are serious but flexible…I know that it is playing games with words but it is important in how you say this. ============================================================================ TIPSTER: If you have not already been to ONET to properly pad your killer resume with key words, phrases and to insure that you are showing ALL of the skills and abilities you have…then REALLY do it and reform your resume to include all this…Unless, you got Old Lady Luck riding with you today… If she is…buy some lotto tickets coming back.

NOW HIRING SECURITY GUARDS WITH DPS LICENSE Please apply at www.urbantacticalsecurity.com. ===========================================================================

HIRING PALOOZA (RETAIL) REQUIREMENTS… MOST EVERYONE IS OVER-QUALIFIED… MOST COMPANIES START HIRING AT 16 YEARS OLD MANY ENTRY-LEVEL RETAILS JOBS REQUIRE NO EXPERIENCE BUT REQUIRE GOOD PEOPLE SKILLS, PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO HELP OTHER PEOPLE AND THAT HAVE AN INTEREST IN WHAT THE STORE SELLS. CASH HANDLING AND/OR GOOD MATH SKILLS ARE A PLUS – ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE A CASHIER.

SPECIAL SKILLS THAT HELP YOU GET HIRED: • AVAILABLE TO WORK MORNINGS AND/OR DAY SHIFTS – they do not

need you later in the day, in the evenings nor many times on the weekends – as they have the teenagers and college kids to work those shifts.

WHATZ GOIN’ ON? Over the coming weeks, retail stores across the valley are set to lose a large percentage of their workers. WHY? Glad ya asked! Remember all those rude teenagers who ran the stores all summer long? Well, in the next couple of weeks they will be gone. History…disappeared! They are going back to schools and most local stores will be empty of sales

associates and cashiers – especially in the mornings and for most of the day.

BIG STORE OR LITTLE STORE? Big stores need more people, they are going to hire more people but, everyone knows this and they are going to apply at them. Little stores are going to hire a smaller number of people, they are more difficult to find (they don’t run $100K ads) and hiring is more based upon you going in person and introducing yourself. The downside to big stores is an impersonal, hard to navigate online application, a vast ocean of applicants, no one to help you if you have a question and assembly line interviews. Little stores require that you come to them, introduce yourself and usually fill out an application. The downside at the small store is that everything is based upon how well you introduce yourself and if they take a liking to you. Friendly, bubbly and people with a lot of social skills do well in a little store setting while, people who are more information-based (remember a lot of facts) do well at the big stores – where there is much to learn and remember do to all the inventory that they have. Consider this…for every Super Target there are nine little stores….94% of all Arizona businesses employ ten people or less. So if you want to have a lot of choice and are a bubbly person, go little and if you are not so bubbly but have good memory skills…go big!

SALARIES At entry level, there is not a lot of difference in salaries between big and little stores. The going rate is from minimum wage to about$8.50/9.00 per hour. Most companies have insurance in name only (high deductibles $5-10K) so don’t make a choice based upon insurance. If you don’t have $5-10K to pay your deductible…then you have no insurance…you still need to get better or die…

I’LL WAIT TILL THEY HIRE FOR THE HOLIDAYS! GOOD IDEA OR NOT? Not a good idea. Companies are filling FT/PT positions right now because of back-to-school sales and that their work force is leaving. If you are hired now and if you are a real dependable, hard-working employee…why would they fire you at the end of Back-to-School only to rehire you for the holidays…THEY WOULDN’T! If you are still working at the end of the holidays…you are not going anywhere. So, the best time to secure a position that will become permanent in retail is right now… “But, I already applied several weeks…months ago!” The best thing to do is re-apply because your old application (if it still there) is buried at the bottom of all the newer applications and they are pulling from the top. They pull from the top because they know that these people are available now and that they are looking for work NOW…Not six months ago…

WHERE TO START? Last month the Used Job Shack ran a special job book issue on Big Store Retail and Back-to-School. This is a good reference tool to use because of the “Used Job Shack Insider” Columns for each store. The Insider is a collect of people who have already gone to the interview, been hired and have selected to share the experience with you…aka…what questions were asked…what you need to know for the interview and/or just the structure of the hiring decision. The great thing about the Used Job Shack is that they are online and you can go read or download this issue for FREE! http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Auntie-Sue-Uncle-Bobs-USED-4550443?trk=myg_ugrp_ovr

Most of the frequently asked questions are in last month’s edition but, here is something that Uncle Bob said to throw in…at no additional charge!

In selecting a company to work for, review and consider the following:

• I have an interest in the things that they sell. • They are nice, friendly people who treat me well. • They are flexible with my work hours or days. • This is a place I would enjoy working for a long time. • The store is easy to get to or to get home from. • Are there future opportunities to advance or not?

DO NOT MAKE A DECISION BASED SOLELY UPON SALARY…YOU WILL BE SORRY IF YA DO! ==============================================

Target Job Application Online Target application online can be filled out here and can get your job career started at this great company. George Dayton founded this company after buying it from R.S Goodfellow. It started with the name Good fellow’s Department Store and in 1903, the store changed its name to the Dayton Dry Goods Company, and it changed its name again to the Dayton Company in 1911. Target job application can be submitted online.

Target opened four discount stores in Minneapolis in 1965. The name "Target" originated from Dayton's publicity director, Stewart K. Widdess, and was intended to prevent consumers from associating the new discount store chain with the department store. Target now has 1,685 stores (as of October 2008). It has units in all states except for Vermont, operating under the mastheads of Target, Target Greatland, and SuperTarget. Target careers- Each general-merchandise store employs 150 to 250 team members and is about 128,000 square feet in size.

USED JOB SHACK INSIDER… Cashier at Target - Accepted Offer Interview Details –I am going to post this in as much detail as possible, but it's really just summing up what a lot of other people have said. APPLYING I applied online on June 24th for a few different positions, basically whatever they had open. I got a call about a week later to set up a phone interview with a Team Leader.

INTERVIEW ROUND 1 I had my phone interview with the Team Leader a few days later. It was more of a "get-to-know-you" than anything else.

Questions were: • Why Target? • Tell me about a time you had to work in a team. • Tell me about a time when you had multiple projects due at the same time.

I passed the phone interview and scheduled an in-person interview for the beginning of the next week.

INTERVIEW ROUND 2 I arrived about 5 minutes early and took a very, very simple personality/math test. If you got through all of the application, you should have absolutely no trouble with this. Then, I was shown to the employee area for an interview. After being directed to wait in the break room for a little bit, an Executive Team Leader took me to their office and interviewed me.

In addition to the questions above, I was also asked a lot of STAR questions, including:

• A woman is looking for a shoe for her son, but the right size isn't on the shelf. What would you do?

• You're ringing up a customer and an item rings up at $19.99 but the customer swears the price was $18.99, what would you do?

After that, I was taken to wait in the break room once again. This time, a person from HR came to get me, took me to their office and offered me the job - conditional on passing a drug test at a lab and a background check. (IMPORTANT: The drug test has to be done within 24 hours, so plan accordingly!) Signed the paperwork and I was hired! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cashier at Target - Accepted Offer Interview Details –It was overall very typical but very friendly. They ask about your previous jobs, school, goals, etc. They also will give you three scenarios they want you to answer/talk about. I remember one question they asked was "when was the last time you received amazing service and what made it amazing?" Interview Question –None of them were difficult, just be honest and keep your cool. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cashier at Target - Accepted Offer Interview Details –I applied in store and waited about two days before I called to check my application status. They transferred me to the HR lady and she scheduled for an interview while we were on the phone. I went it and met with someone (who was from a different store

because the woman from this store was out for the day). There were two interviews with two different women; expected/typical questions. Didn't hear anything for two weeks, then I got a call while I was in class saying come in because they wanted to offer me a position. Went in that day, discussed pay, and had to take a drug test within 24 hrs. Started work the next week. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cashier at Target - Accepted Offer Interview Details –Applied online within a week got called in for an interview. Met with a GM who asked basic questions. Like: Tell us a time when you were working with someone difficult and how you handled it. With their questions they are looking for a problem a solution and then the outcome. Be detailed. They score you on each answer. They are always looking for Starbucks workers so if you say you are willing to train in that area or have experience then you'll most likely get it.

Interview Question –No unexpected questions. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cashier at Target - Accepted Offer Interview Details –I completed the online application and within a few (2-3) days. The interview was amazing - it was so laid back and more of a conversation than a formal interview. They do an excellent job of making sure you are comfortable Interview Question –Review and plan for all the questions on here - they use the exact same ones.

• What is your biggest weakness/strength? • When have you gone out of your way to help somebody? • Why do you want to work at target? • What would you do if you rang an item up to be 20$ but a customer insisted it was 18? • Name a time when you made a mistake and how did you handle it.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cashier at Target - Accepted Offer Interview Details –I applied online and was called back within a couple of days. There are two parts to the target interview and if you are hired then you will most likely be told at the end of the second interview. If you don't get a second interview or if you are told that they would make a decision and call you back, you probably didn't get it.

The first part of the interview was with a Team Leader and it was pretty much going over my application and common sense questions/answers. The second part was with what Target calls an Executive Team Leader (ETL) and the questions were mostly scenario and "tell me a time when..." type questions. After the interview with the ETL, a team member from HR came in and offered me the job (contingent upon a clean background check) and gave me instructions to take a drug test within a couple of hours. Interview Question –None really, basic common sense. =============================================================================
