The Resume and the Interview

Posted

As I look at the evolution of dating, it seems that what's works in the professional world works in dating to a degree --- the job = a relationship. How do you get that job? Well you need a good resume. And you need a good interview. But what seems to happen more often than not, sisters won't admit that they aren't very good interviewers, and don't really know what to look for on a resume. Let me break it down, when you meet someone, the Q&A type facts that you get/give --- that's the resume. What's your name, what you do for a living, why are you single, what do you like to do for fun, how many kids do you have. Those are resume questions. You treat the answers as you would a resume screening. Having a good resume, doesn't mean that you get the job (sisters, just because he's got a good resume doesn't mean you make him your boyfriend, there's still need for an interview). The interview is just the face to face interaction. Sometimes, most of the times you are going to have to have more than one interview. What I'm hearing from my sisters is that more and more, sisters are getting into bad hiring situations because they didn't really interview that person well. He had a great resume, why did I need to interview. OR his resume wasn't that good but he's interview was great. For the best hiring situation you have to take both into account.
Now to my sisters (you knew this was coming), it's 2010, men are interviewing sisters too. And to that I say, sisters, DON'T APPLY FOR A JOB THAT YOUAREN'T QUALIFIED FOR! If you don't have a degree, don't know how to use word or excel and can't type, don't be surprised if you don't get the job you were looking for but get hired as the copy girl instead. Y'all don't feel me. Are you picking up what I'm putting down right now???

what I think some women and men fail to realize is that the interview session is vital in making certain that they have the right person in the correct position. However, what happens more often than not is that we are so incredibly eager to have someone, anyone to fill that slot that we tend to overlook the telltale signs of non compliance. For some, loneliness rings so loudly in our ears that we are willing to sacrifice anything just too stop the noise even temporarily. If it comes in a pretty package a lot of us are willing to forgo any preinterviewing processes because if it looks good we assume that it must be....yet we all know that all that glitters isnt gold.

Very good analogy. Unfortunately, it may be too abstract for most to comprehend....

I love this.....this is what I practice everytime a meet a potential mate. No matter how lonely I may be feeling. It's worth the extra time to take time to interview the potential mate. No matter what qualifications they've obtained in their resume...each job varies from employee to employee. The position may have worked for the employee before you...but doesn't necessary mean its gonna fit u. So...I can say...I would rather have an open slop for a while...if if means that I will take my time in choosing the sbsolute best candidate for my position.

I would like to add 90 days probation period that is used on major of employer for applicates and Joan from "Living Single" sitcom show. It should also be strickly enforced in relationship and a we should be observated of the warning signs during this time and we should listen more to our inner thought regarding the applicant.

We all should invest in a silicone friend and not a mortorize it kills the real feel until we have made a sound decision about the applicant.
