Job question?

Question

I want a job. Everytime time I apply for one the manager never call me. What could I might be doing wrong.

Answer 1

Dress nice, be polite, patient, and professional. Be conscious of what you look like to the managers. Would you hire you?

Bring your own pen for applications, be punctual and don't take up too much of their time.

Make eye contact!!! I told my friend to do that before her interview, and after she got the job he told her he really appreciated the eye contact.

If you are in an interview and are asked questions, don't answer too quickly, but don't take up all of their time.

Let them know (indirectly) that you can easily be trained for the job. Make sure you have at least one reference.

Good luck!

Answer 2

I've been hiring people for 35 years. Here's what I look for on an application:

1. Your availability. What job are you applying for? I manage a retail business and people come in wanting to work 8 to 5 Monday through Friday. We never call them back because that is an unrealistic schedule for retail business. If you can work anytime, but prefer a certain shift, then you need to indicate that your availability is open to any shifts the employer may have to offer. This is the number one reason we don't return calls on applications.

2. Be realistic about the pay you're willing to work for. We have people applying for us asking for $15 an hour, and retail just doesn't pay that in this area. Find out what the going wage is and put that on your application. Retal usually starts about a buck above minimum wage unless you have lots of years of experience.

3. Also, we see applications where the applicant lists their last pay as $45,000 per year or $35 per hour. Whether these are true or not is irrelevant to us. If we know we can only offer you $9 or $10/hour, then we're not going to call you in for an interview if you tell us you're acustomed to making that kind of money.

4. If you only hold jobs for a year or less, then we're not likely to invest the money to train you since we figure you'll leave us in a few months too. So we don't interview people who don't show longevity in previous jobs.

Those are the main reasons that applicants are not called in for interviews.

Answer 3

A few days after you apply, contact the manager (show up or call depending on the type of business and what is more appropriate) to follow up on your application.

Make sure you research the company ahead of time; understand what they do, who their customers are and learn as much as you can about the position that you are applying for.

If you show enthusiasm for the position and the company they will remember you above the other candidates.

Good luck!

Answer 4

1. Take a look at your resume and polish it up. Does it truly reflect your skills, education and experience?
2. How do you dress when you go to apply? Are you dressed nicely, in business attire, or just in a regular dress or worse causally? Are you neat and well-groomed when you go in to apply?
3. Do you follow up in a few days after you have applied to check the status of your application?

In today's job market, you must be proactive and even aggressive to win that job, and you must sell yourself and your skills to prospective employers.

Answer 5

Call them, show them that your interested. Be bold and talk to the manager. For many jobs that just what you sometimes have to do. Stick yourself out.
