New Job Interviewing Trends: Different Creative Job Application Processes? | Interview Advice & Tips | Scoop.it
It’s a competitive world out there, so staying ahead of the other applicants is important if you want to be the one to land the job. There are a number of creative job application processes that are being seen with new job interviewing trends.
Trish Sadar's insight:

This article gives you information regarding:

 

1.  Psychometric Tests - Companies use wide varieties to identify personalities, IQ, motivation, service orientation

 

2.  Presentations - Companies may ask you to do a role play or to resolve a problem on the spot

 

3.  Behavioral Interviews - Instead of asking the typical what would you do question, this type of interview requires that you respond with examples of how you handled a particular situation.  The questions may start with....Describe a time when you disagreed with a company policy, what did you do and what was the result.

 

Here we always suggest that you remember our Acronym CAR:

Circumstances - Describe briefly the circumstances

Action - Describe who you involved and the actions that were taken

Results - Describe the positive results

 

Hope this article helps.  Please let us know if you have any questions you would like answered.

 

Make it a great day!

The article was excellent. I will check out Royal Caribbean, and I was wondering what skills do interviewers seek for bell man position. Use those questions listed on the article and write stories of my recent employment. Hope that will help ace my interview.
Trish Sadar's comment, July 31, 2013 8:14 AM
Typically, strong customer service, interpersonal, communication, etc. Each hotel/resort is different. They are seeking individuals who can meet the essential functions of the position, and who have the right experience, skills, and job match for the hotel brand. Be yourself, know why are you are a right fit, and be prepared to demonstrate how your customer service skills can be a perfect fit for the role!

The Best Colors To Wear On A Job Interview

The Best Colors To Wear On A Job Interview | Interview Advice & Tips | Scoop.it
People have subconscious reactions to colors so pay attention to what colors you wear and how you'd want to portray yourself during a job interview.
Trish Sadar's insight:

What you wear during an interview is important, and does send a loud message.  Your overall presence tells us who you are.  You are a walking billboard of the pride you take in yourself, and the amount of time you took to prepare for the interview.

 

Looking professional while still fitting into the company culture is important.  I often suggest for candidates to visit the organization to see the culture. 

 

Any other suggestions you have that have worked for you?

7 Job Interview Questions to Ask an Employer

7 Job Interview Questions to Ask an Employer | Interview Advice & Tips | Scoop.it
7 great job interview questions to ask a potential employer when you are asked if you have any questions.
Trish Sadar's insight:

Before the interview is through the interviewer wants to wrap things up and asks "Do you have any questions"?  This is not the time to say...No, thank you.  It is also not the time to pull out 50 questions. 

 

We need to be sensitive to the amount of time the interviewer has established for the interview.  We don't want to annoy the interview -- we want to stay on their good graces.

 

Asking a few questions regarding the position is a great suggestion.  This article provides several for you to consider.
