How do you prep for interviews ?
5
How do I get past the AI companies are using to get a new job in a new field? I lost my career as a truck driver due to health reasons. twenty years down the drain. i was out of work for 3.5 months before taking a job from a temp agency. that pays just over minimum wage. I have worked in other industries prior to driving including owning a small business with 15 employees. I get refusals quickly almost every time I to a job I'm interested in. Any help or advise would be greatly appreciated.
Hi everyone, I’ve been working in restaurants/hospitality for years and I’m trying to pivot into office/corporate roles like operations, recruiting, HR, admin, or project coordination. I know restaurant work builds transferable skills, but it’s been hard getting recruiters to look past the “server” title. For anyone who successfully pivoted out of hospitality/service industry, what helped you make the transition?
I'm a Maternity RN of over 5 years and I'm getting tired of the stress and hours; I want to look at my options if I do decide to leave bedside as I've become very jaded with the healthcare system. I've been an educator of my peers in many different ways and on a few different levels as well as doing a lot of patient education. I have been told I may make a good "Corporate Educator", but I do not know what that means and how to start looking for opportunities. Any advice or starting points?
I was a retail assistant manager for ~4 years, and I’m looking to pivot into a front desk/receptionist/admin position. I have some transferable skills—multitasking, time management, guest service, complaint resolution, communication, etc. I’m having a hard time finding anything. I’ve had interviews, and I’ve gotten a lot of green flags, but they always go with someone with experience. I’ve been told “keep applying, someone will give you a chance.” Any tips on what sector would be most likely to?
I go over the job description. Prepare my answers to at least answer two main questions using the STAR method. If you interview enough you just reuse & apply it to that specific role.
I recommend listening to Emma Grede’s Podcast. Her episode on How to Nail Your Next Interview was quite fantastic and valuable. Good luck!
I would look up the person(s) who will be interviewing me on LinkedIn (their role, what they post about related to their role/company, past work) and write 2-3 very specific, tailored questions for them for the end of the interview. Also, seconding prepping to answer questions in the STAR format.
Getting a career coach for a few sessions can really boost your confidence for interviews. They'll help you figure out what questions might come up and how to give genuine answers that make you shine without overdoing it.
