IRS Temp Jobs Based on Season
IRS Temp Jobs Based on SeasonIRS Temp Jobs Based on SeasonEach year on April 15, post offices around the US fill up with people who have waited until the last possible hours to mail their tax forms to the Internal Revenue Service. Many people file their tax returns in the months preceding the annual deadline, and many file extensions that allow them extra time. Businesses and high-income earners submit tax payments on a quarterly basis, so the IRS needs astable crew to handle the steady flow year-round. But a significant portion of the agencys business revolves around the April 15 deadline. To handle the flurry of business in the spring and summer, the IRS hires seasonal employees. ansicht temporary staff process mail, enter data from paper forms, review returns for accuracy and answer questions from filers. These jobs are great for students who need flexible schedules and for retirees who want to keep their work skills sharp but do not want to commit to a full-time, year-round job. Retired tax professionals are frequently hired for seasonal work. What Types of IRS Temp Jobs Are Available? The IRS posts specific types of jobs to meet seasonal demands. These are the jobs that are typically available each year in locations around the country Job Title ClerkDuties Processing incoming mail, maintaining files and records and filing documents including tax returns Job Title Mail and File ClerkDuties Maintaining records and other documents, processing outgoing mail, and monitoring outgoing shipments to ensure delivery Job Title Financial ClerkDuties Performing variety of finance-related clerical duties, such as extracting information from tax returns, reconciling records, tracking data and filing information Job Title Cash Processing ClerkDuties Handling money maintaining records screening documents, forms and letters and other administrative tasks Job Title Contact RepresentativeDuties Providing administrative and technical assistance to individuals and businesse s primarily over the phone and in person Job Title Data TranscriberDuties Entering information from tax returns into the IRS computer system Job Title Tax ExaminerDuties Reviewing tax returns for accuracy and completeness, reviewing and coding tax returns for computer processing, resolving errors and corresponding with taxpayers to obtain any missing information Job Title Correspondence Examination TechnicianDuties Examining tax returns and communicating with taxpayers through phone or correspondence or providing support to tax compliance officers and revenue agents during their examinations Job Title Mail Processing Equipment OperatorDuties Supervise mail processing staff, planning and prioritizing the work of subordinates, evaluating their job performance, offering advice and instruction and considering ways to make improvements What Experience Is Required? While a high school diploma is required for seasonal IRS jobs is required, experience is not. The IRS provides all the ne cessary training to new hires. Many seasonal employees come back year after year. What Is the Application Process? The IRS typically posts seasonal jobs in the fall for the next tax season. This gives the IRS the time to complete the hiring process and train new hires. This way, seasonal workers will be ready to tackle their duties when business picks up. Applicants must use the federal governments job application portal USAJobs to apply for open positions. All federal agencies use USAJobs, so the process applicants go through for a seasonal IRS job is the same as any other federal job. USAJobs allows applicants to track the status of submitted applications. Agency human resources professionals have incentives to keep applicants informed through the portal. Instead of calling the agency HR office every few days to check on an applications status, applicants can log into USAJobs and get the latest information.

Military Children and Family Care Plans
Military Children and Family Care PlansMilitary Children and Family Care PlansWhat happens to children of single-parent military members, or the children of dual-couple military members when they are deployed? Need Assistance from Close Relatives / Friends - Military members who are single parents or both parents married may need to ask family and friends to be guardians / dual custody of their children if both parents are deployed at the same time. About 8 percent of all military members are single parents 11 percent for the Army, 8 percent for the Navy, 5 percent for the Air Force, and 5 percent for the Marine Corps. Additionally, there are about 84,000 military-married-to-military couples. About 36,000 of those couples have children. Rules Enforced After Gulf War One When the services got orders from the President to begin deploying active duty military members to the Gulf for DESERT SHIELD and activating National Guard and Reserve members, they got an unexpected surprise h undreds of single-parents and dual-military couples with children were not ready to go. They had no plans for the care of their children. This caused a lot of rescheduling and juggling of deployment plans. As a result, the Department of Defense (DOD) got tough. In July of 1992, DOD published DOD Instruction 1342.19, Family Care Plans, to standardize the requirements for all of the military services. Additionally, the military services stopped accepting single-parents for enlistment in the military. Child Care Benefits Most military cousines have a variety of full-time or hourly daycare centers for military working parents. The benefit is access as they are near work typically and needs based pricing. The costs of these are based on a familys total income, not just the service members paygrade. In the event that the military base (or are not stationed near a large base), the military will help fund the costs of civilian operated day care for children at daycare programs that are part of the local military network Single Parents and Military Couples with Children While the military no longer allows single parents to enlist, if one becomes a single parent while in the military, due to death of a spouse, separation/divorce, adoption, etc., or a military couple has children, the military will not force them to separate from the service, as long as they meet the family care requirements of DOD and the various related service regulations. In a nutshell, that means such members must have a family care plan. Family Care Plans While there are some minor administrative differences in each of the services, family care plans have three basic requirements short-term care versorgers, long-term care providers, and care provision details. Short-Term Care Provider. Single-parents and military couples with children must designate a non-military person who will agree, in writing, to accept care of the members children at any time, 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, in the event the military member is called to duty or deployed with no-notice. While this person cannot be another military member, the person can be a military spouse. The short-term care provider must live in the local area where the military member(s) are stationed/located. The short-term care provider must sign the family care plan, indicating that they understand the responsibilities that are being entrusted to them. Long-Term Care Provider. In addition to the short-term care provider, the military member(s) must also designate a non-military person, who will agree, in writing, to provide long-term care for their children in the event the military member(s) are deployed for a significant period, or in the event they are selected for an unaccompanied overseas tour, or are assigned to a ship at sea. The long-term care provider does not have to live in the local area, but the family care plan must contain provisions to transfer the child(ren) from the short-term care provider to th e long-term care provider (finances, airline tickets, etc.), in the event a no-notice deployment turns into a long-term deployment. The long-term care provider must sign the family care plan, indicating that they understand the responsibilities that are being entrusted to them. Care Provision Details.In addition to designating short-term and long-term care providers, the family care plan must include detailed plans for the care and helfende hand of the children. Family care plans must include provisions for logistical movement of the family or caregiver. Logistical arrangements include, but are not limited to, arrangements to relocate, if necessary, the caregiver or family to a new location, financial, medical and legal support necessary to ensure continuity of care and support of family members during the movement. Logistical arrangements must provide for financial support necessary to transport the family or caregiver to a designated location. The military member(s) must also gi ve consideration of a non-military escort for family members requiring assistance such as infants, children, elderly and disabled adults should be outlined when personal family considerations dictate. Family care plans must also include arrangements for the financial well-being of family members covered by the family care plan during short- and long-term separations. Arrangements for financial care should include power(s) of attorney, allotments, or other appropriate means to ensure the self-sufficiency and financial security of family members. Each of the services have special provisions in place which allow designated care providers to have access to military base facilities (commissary, BX/PX, medical) in order to affect the care of the military dependents, when thefamily care planis actually in effect (i.e., care has been transferred from the military member to the care provider). Commander Review The regulations require that each family care plan is reviewed for workability and completeness by the commander or a designated representative. The designated representative is usually the executive officer or first sergeant. After the initial review, the plans are updated by the member and reviewed at least annually. Time Periods When a military member first becomes a single-parent or military couple with children, he/she must notify his or her commander, supervisor, or the commanders designated representative immediately but no later than 30 days of the occurrence of change in family circumstances or personal status (60 days for Guard/Reserve members). After that, the military member(s) have 60 days (90 days for Guard/Reserve members) to submit a completed family care plan. If mitigating circumstances are involved, the commander or supervisor concerned may grant the member an additional 30 days to submit an acceptable family care plan. Further extensions are not authorized. The same 60-day rule applies for active duty military members who move from on e military base to another. They have 60 days to find a short-term care provider who lives in the local area. Militarymothersof newborns receive a 4-month deferment from duty away from the home station for the period immediately following the birth of a child. This provision is to assist the member in developing family care plans and to establish a pattern of child care. Single members orone memberof a military couple who adopt receive a 4-month deferment from the date the child is placed in the home as part of the formal adoption process. Similarly, Reserve component members receive a 4-month deferment from involuntary recall to active duty. Penalties Failure to produce the required family care plan within the time periods required can resultin involuntary separationfrom the military by reason of parenthood in accordance withDOD Directive 1332.14(enlisted) orDOD Directive 1332.30(officers). Failure to produce the required family care plan in the case of the Reserve member can r esult in processing for discharge or transfer to aninactiveor retired status.

4 Tips for Building an Incredible Online Portfolio
4 Tips for Building an Incredible Online Portfolio 4 Tips for Building an Incredible Online Portfolio Once upon a time, creating an online portfolio as part of the job search process was a rarity - something that only the most tech-savvy and design-forward job seekers could pull off. But with a proliferation of platforms that allow you to easily create your own website - no coding experience needed! - itâs now open to virtually anybody. The best part? It can seriously set your job application apart. âTraditionally, creative professionals [have benefited] the most from having an online portfolio because their work is visual, or content-driven, in nature,â says Andrew Burke, Recruiting Manager at website building platform Squarespace . But regardless of your career, âhaving a website allows you complete control over your professional brand , which has become increasingly important if you want to stand out,â he adds. âHaving a portfolio ready to go is one of those things that will set you apart from everyone else and will earn you major credibility as you start to ascend your ladder,â adds Brenda M. Cunningham, CEO of Push Career Management, LLC . âNot to mention, having an up-to-date online portfolio helps other people stay connected to you.â Whether youâre creating a portfolio from scratch or just want to give yours a touch-up, use the following advice to make yours shine. âFirst and foremost, your online portfolio should highlight you!â Burke points out. So donât be afraid to highlight all of the things that make you great. âThis is your opportunity to surface your career accomplishments , particular projects that youâre proud of, and represent the kind of work youâre great at and like to do â" all before you even go to an interview,â he adds. A few questions to think about as youâre creating your portfolio: âWhat contributions, skills, and credentials do you bring to the table? Then, what impact have you made by way of your experiences and accomplishments?â Cunningham suggests. But be warned - copying and pasting from your job description to your portfolio isnât the way to go. âThis is so much more than a list of job responsibilities⦠itâs like youâre painting a picture that helps any onlooker see exactly why they should invest their salary dollars in you⦠your past performance can predict your future behavior, so if your past is amazing youâre really gearing yourself up for a bright future,â she adds. While you do want to show yourself off, though, make sure you do it in the right way. One of the biggest mistakes that Cunningham sees in online portfolios is candidates âfocusing too much on what they want vs. what they can do for [the company].â âItâs great that youâre looking to grow and develop within the company, but what can you do for them? They will not invest in you simply because you want them to,â Cunningham says. âThey must see value in you as a potential candidate , and your portfolio and online behaviors must all support your claims to be a real contender in your field.â So rather than making your online portfolio all about how you want a job, make sure it highlights your skills and experience , and how those make you a strong candidate. Resumes are usually text-forward, but online portfolios give you the opportunity to stand out visually as well. So when creating your portfolio, design is going to be key. âColor is our friend. Using techniques like shading (not text boxes), and including splashes of appropriate color can really help to make information stand out. There are a plethora of portfolio design books at public libraries and online retailers - reference them for truly contemporary design options,â Cunningham says. But with that in mind, you donât want to go wild with loud, clashing visuals or out-there graphics. âWhen contemplating design, itâs important to strike a balance between being true to your own creativity, and keeping things appropriate for the industry you work in,â Burke says. âFor all portfolio websites, I recommend keeping things fairly simple so that your work can speak for itself. And of course, Squarespace has some beautiful, streamlined website templates that can help you lay out your work in a design-friendly way for maximum impact.â Once youâve launched your online portfolio, most of the heavy lifting is over - but donât hang up your hat just yet. âItâs important to keep the content as up-to-date as possible. Your skills and tastes evolve; so should your online presence. While your portfolio may open doors for you, it can also have the opposite effect if your information is stale,â Burke says. So as you add new projects and experiences under your belt, make sure to include them in your portfolio. Keep your contact info up-to-date as well, and even if youâre not actively looking for a job, check in on your portfolio every once in a while to make sure itâs still accurate and in style. âSimply creating an online portfolio is never enough,â Cunningham shares. âYou must actively manage it, keep yourself top of mind with influencers and decision-makers in your industry, and continue to develop your skills . Donât keep leaning on the credentials of yesteryear - you must continually evolve and update your portfolio to show that you remain a thought leader who will always be in demand,â she advises.

How to Use Metaphors Correctly and Avoid Cliches
How to Use Metaphors Correctly and Avoid Cliches How to Use Metaphors Correctly and Avoid Cliches When used correctly, metaphors are effective fiction writing tools. They are one way to vary language and liven up prose. Also, like shorthand, they can convey a picture or a meaning instantly, with few words. Of course, like most literary devices, metaphors bomb when used incorrectly, confusing the reader or drawing attention to the writers lack of skill. The two most common traps to be aware of when using metaphors are the cliché and the mixed metaphor. Clichés Expressions like the calm before the storm, Mother Nature, or hes a rat, have been used so often that theyre now considered clichés. Unless theyre important to the tone of your work, its usually better to avoid clichés. If you cant come up with the more original language, its often better to forego the metaphor and opt for straightforward description. Mixed Metaphors Another common problem with regard to metaphors is the tendency to mix them or overwork them, usually from careless thinking or over thinking. The result brings together two images that simply dont make sense together. In Examples of Metaphors, I give the example Our keyboard will teach your minds eye to play by ear. Here, the speaker has mixed two metaphors, leading to nonsense. A minds eye cant play anything, and certainly not by ear. In Rules for Writers, Diana Hacker gives the example, Crossing Utahs salt flats in his new Corvette, my father flew under a full head of steam. She explains that flew suggests an airplane while full head of steam suggests a train. A little thought and a small edit results in a clearer, more satisfying sentence: Crossing Utahs salt flats in his new Corvette, my father flew at jet speed. The book English Made Simple provides a particularly muddled example. Notice your own reaction as you attempt to read this paragraph: The age of the atom has transfigured man, but the transfiguration has been from spirituality to materialism, exactly the reverse of the counsel of the ancient prophets. Today, man surges forward in his march of mind, but his soul is mired in an abyss of false yearnings. In splitting the atom, man has split his own being and lost the unity of his molecular whole. Its hard to get through, isnt it? As the authors explain: The writer begins with an interesting image - transfiguration - but shortly afterward loses it in an unrelated figure about a march of mind. Furthermore, he gets his metaphors tangled when he gets a soul mired in an abyss. Finally, he returns to the atom, but the original image of transfiguration has now entirely disappeared, and the reader wallows in the murky depths of molecular whole. Notice how much easier it is to focus on this selection: The atomic age has halted mans spiritual development. Intellectually, he has surged forward, but his ideals and his values have stood still. If mans moral being regresses, atom splitting may prove an illusory advance. If youre ever in doubt as to whether or not youve pulled a metaphor off, its better to nix it altogether. Used improperly, youll wind up looking foolish and distract your reader. Remember, your overarching goal is to communicate. Sometimes this means putting aside your ego in favor of plain speaking.

Know Your Rights as a Job Seeker
Know Your Rights as a Job Seeker Know Your Rights as a Job Seeker When youâre looking for a job, it can seem like employers and hiring managers have all the control. But did you know that, as a job seeker, you have certain rights as well? Read more to find out what they are- and ensure they are exercised the next time youâre in the middle of a job interview. Hereâs what you are entitled to: A confidential interview. When youâre applying for any position, your potential employer should stay mum on your application. This is especially critical if youâre job hunting while you still have a job. This means that a hiring manager shouldnât contact your current boss or share sensitive information about you (including what is written on your resume) to anyone else. An accurate job description. As a job seeker, youâre entitled to know exactly what the job entails. This includes the job responsibilities, possible chances for advancement, and benefits that come with the position (including telecommuting options and flex schedules) without any false information. Of course, job duties often morph after you start working, but important factors- such as the fact that you might have to travel twice a month- should be discussed at the time of the interview. A non-discriminatory interview. Employers are expected to follow non-discrimination policies when interviewing and selecting potential candidates for a position. This applies for people of all races, religions, and sexual orientation, without inquiry or prejudice. Potential employers should follow their companyâs policies on equal employment and affirmative action. Advanced knowledge of potential tests. Letâs say youâre applying for a position as an in-house writer. A writing test shouldnât be sprung on you right after shaking hands with the hiring manager. While this applies for proficiency tests in your area of expertise, it can also apply to drug testing as well. Not only should you know about any tests ahead of time, but you are entitled to know what they will be used for and the results of your tests, too. Reasonable treatment. Letâs say that your interview went well and you were hired for the position. Then, a week before youâre to start work, your new boss emails to let you know that theyâve decided to hire someone else. Itâs horrible, but it happens. And if it does happen to you, you are entitled to some sort of recompense, which may come in the form of financial compensation or a referral for another position within the company. Knowing your rights as a job seeker will help you feel more confident as you continue your job search and get an at-home career that you want. Readers, are you exercising your job interview rights? Have they ever been violated? Let us know in the comments section below!

Study Uber drivers are operating in the dark when it comes to pay
Study Uber drivers are operating in the dark when it comes to pay Study Uber drivers are operating in the dark when it comes to pay A two-year study that concentrated on just 40 Uber drivers in Washington D.C. revealed some interesting points about their working conditions, pay, and motivation. The study, from Georgetown Universityâs Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor, showed that drivers are operating at an information deficit when it comes to their earnings:Uber drivers donât know how much they earn (or lose). As a 53-year-old Uber driver, Suzanna, put it, her weekly pay was hard to gauge because âit changes every time they change the rules.â Harry Campbell, a ride-hail industry blogger, says that drivers need 20 pieces of information in order to determine their earnings.Follow Ladders on Flipboard!Follow Laddersâ magazines on Flipboard covering Happiness, Productivity, Job Satisfaction, Neuroscience, and more!Since Uber entered the D.C. market in 2011, it has cut driversâ base rates, added a rider safety fee (âbooking feeâ), and increased its own commission.Of the 40 driver s in the study, 38% didnât know things like how Uber decided the amount drivers took home from a single fare, whether they were required to buy commercial insurance, or how to file their taxes at the end of the year.33% of Uber drivers took on debt related to the job, and 30% of drivers reported physical assault or safety fears.However, 50% of drivers would recommend it to a friend, and 45% planned to drive for at least another six months. 90% of them started out to add to an existing income.You might also enjoy⦠New neuroscience reveals 4 rituals that will make you happy Strangers know your social class in the first seven words you say, study finds 10 lessons from Benjamin Franklinâs daily schedule that will double your productivity The worst mistakes you can make in an interview, according to 12 CEOs 10 habits of mentally strong people

Books Aspiring Leaders Should Read- The Muse
Books Aspiring Leaders Should Read- The Muse Books Aspiring Leaders Should Read- The Muse A senior executive wanted her management team to think more deeply about their role as leaders, so she asked each of them to read a book about leadership. Little did she know that just the act of choosing a title would take most of her managers weeks to decide. I donât envy them: There are literally thousands of good (and not-so-good) books to choose from. As someone who regularly works with leaders trying to improve themselves, Iâve read a lot of them myself. In addition, Iâve developed the strong belief that managers shouldnât just read about literally being better managers, but also focus on concepts like strategy that help them to continue growing- youâll see that belief woven throughout the list below. When looking through it, donât feel pressured to buy every single title. Instead, ask yourself: Which category is most interesting to you? Or, what would your boss (or customer) say you most need to learn about to be more effective? As long youâre personally interested in the topic or itâll help you in an area with room for improvement, itâs a good place to start. Here are my top picks in each category: 1. For Strategy and the Big Picture: Systems Thinking for Social Change: A Practical Guide to Solving Complex Problems, Avoiding Unintended Consequences, and Achieving Lasting Results by David Peter Stroh To advance, you need to learn to see the connectedness of cultures, institutions, economies, families, organizations, cities, and nations to one another. Thatâs what âsystems thinkingâ is. This book is not about âbusinessâ per se, but it is about how systems impact society, and since society is what powers businesses and organizations, itâs interesting- and relevant Another great option is Business Strategy: A Guide to Effective Decision-Making by Jeremy Kourdi. Some authors dumb down a topic to make it easier to understand. That didnât happen with this book, but if you can get through it, youâll learn a lot about process from creating a vision to executing on a plan. 2. For Problem Solving and Decision-Making: Think Smarter: Critical Thinking to Improve Problem-Solving and Decision Making Skills By Michael Kallet This book is a lot easier to get through than the previous one. It offers some great problem solving methods that you can apply to work or in other aspects of your daily life. It doesnât make as many clear connections to business (so youâll want to choose another one if thatâs a priority for you), but if your goal is simply to learn general strategies for tough calls, this bookâs for you. 3. For Self-Development and Self-Awareness: Daring Greatly: How the Courage to Be Vulnerable Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead by Brene Brown This isnât a âhow toâ book for aspiring leaders, per se, but itâs just as important. Researcher and author Brene Brown helps the reader understand why dropping the the facades we create can make us more successful, and happier. Itâll help you bring your true self to work whichâll inspire others and make you more productive. 4. For Motivation, People Skills, and Leading Others: The Leadership Challenge, 5th Edition by James Kouzes and Barry Posner For more than 30 years, people have seen this as the fundamental sourcebook on everything related to leadership in a business. In this edition, the authors have updated the stories and examples throughout the book to keep it relevant with the modern workforce. Another great option is Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Pull Together and Others Don't by Simon Sinek. This book is filled with examples of why servant leadership works so well. If youâre not familiar with the term, âservant leadership,â itâs a management philosophy that claims a leaderâs job is to âserveâ those they lead, versus the traditional (and maybe outdated) idea that the employees simply work for the boss. Sinek is a researcher and ethnographer by education, so the book is full of examples of why and how âeating lastâ is key to motivating and inspiring others. 5. For Teams, Groups and Playing Well With Others: The Ideal Team Player: How to Recognize and Cultivate the Three Essential Virtues by Patrick Lencioni Patrick Lencioni has been using a parable format to make reading about leadership and business enjoyable for two decades. This oneâs great because it provides equally good advice for being on a team as it does for leading one. Another great option is The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom (A Toltec Wisdom Book) by Don Miguel Ruiz and Janet Mills. Life and enlightenment may not boil down to four simple agreements, but the authorâs take on Toltec philosophy is timeless, and the Agreements offer a initiation into the world of self-development. 6. For a New Way of Thinking: Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance by Angela Duckworth Have you ever heard the saying âDonât believe everything you think?â This book supports that idea. Duckworth shares the role of mindset, and how learning to successfully process feelings like failure, disappointment, and boredom can make us more resilient, and happier. 7. For Inspiring a Culture of Innovation and Learning: Fail Better: Design Smart Mistakes and Succeed Sooner by Anjali Sastry and Kara Penn. Sastry and Penn have landed on a proven feedback process that helps us learn from our mistakes. There is one pre-requisite for this book, youâve got to be willing to take some chances that may result in failure. Of course, the other possibility is that your willingness to risk could result in outstanding success. Itâs no coincidence that only three of these books have the word âleadâ in the title. Thatâs because leadership is a diverse collection of skills and talents that are applied as the need arises. Regardless of their level of seniority, great leaders are generalists who have a range of skills and knowledge, from creating and executing a strategy to understanding human nature. Have a favorite book on this list or one you canât wait to read? Tweet me and let me know.

Best Practices for Working with a Recruiter
Best Practices for Working with a Recruiter Best Practices for Working with a Recruiter Look, itâs time we had a talk. We understand that youâre a motivated, energetic, career-oriented go-getter that has a firm grip on their industry employment market. You may be ready, willing and able to spend hours hunting down and applying for the job of your dreams. You may have even been rewarded for your efforts thus far with an interview or two. If youâre on the hunt for a new position in todayâs competitive job market, however, youâre doing yourself and your career no favors by overlooking the usefulness of a professional recruiter. Whether an exclusive recruiter hired to staff a high-level position for a major corporation or a specialized firm that is known for staffing in your industry, recruiters are in the business of placing qualified candidates in the perfect jobs to benefit both employee and employer. In short, if you have the chance to work with a recruiter, what are you waiting for? With that being said, working with a recruiter for the first time can be a bit of a change of pace for those used to going at it on their own. To ensure that you get the best use out of your personal recruiter, here are a few best practices for working with a recruiter in your job search. Be Honest Many candidates fear to be forthright and open with their recruiting contact for fear of the information they share âgetting backâ to the potential employer. In reality, however, recruiters build their personal careers on a reputation for excellence and making the right connections between workforce and company need. Be upfront with your recruiter on items such as salary requirements, upcoming vacation schedules, lurking issues on your resume such as job gaps or terminations. Many times a recruiter can work with these known variables and, in fact, has probably seen just about everything when it comes to career placement. Save yourself and your recruiter time and embarrassment and be open and forthright with your career needs and limitations at the start. Ask Questions Curious about the job application process for a particular position? Not getting interview callbacks and wondering if your desired compensation is too high for the market? Interested in knowing about a particular company, title or industry? Remember that recruiters work day in and out with these and many other details of the job application process. Feel free to ask plenty of questions during your initial interview and throughout the recruitment process. Doing so will help keep you at ease and will also let your recruiter know youâre a serious candidate looking to make a move now. Thereâs nothing that irks a recruiter more than a potential match for a position that seems uninterested or drags their feet. Be on top of things and engage and youâll get extra job placement attention from the professional that matters. Donât Go Around a Recruiter to The Employer This may be the holy grail of âjust donât do itâ actions potential employees can take when working with a recruiter. If your first point of contact for a particular position is with a recruiter, whatever you do, do not use the introduction opportunity to then apply directly with the employer. If a company has enlisted the aid of a recruiter they likely will prefer candidates from that source lessening your chances at scoring an interview or job offer. In addition, recruiters earn their income typically based off a commission for placing quality candidates. If you undercut their ability to collect on that hard-earned fee, be prepared to be blackballed by the recruitment agency and potential affiliates as someone who doesnât comply with the well-understood recruitment/candidate rules of engagement. Working with a recruiter is often the most efficient and productive way candidates can find quality open positions. Certain fields and professions, in fact, hire almost solely through recruiters, relying on the expertise of these individuals to help lessen the risk of poor quality candidates and aiding in the reduction of employee turnover. Search jobs on SimplyHired.com for specific recruiter related open positions and find opportunities to rely on the pros to help you land that career-making job.
