Comment on Pre Employment Screening by Employment Screening is a must

Employment Screening is a must — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 14:23:50 +0000

Hi,

Pre-employment background check is a must if you want to protect your business and your other employees.

For example, there is a case of a guy that if the company had done a pre-employment screening background check on his criminal record, you would have found that he has a history of assaulting women and could not be a good candidate to work in the call center at night with other female colleagues. Future behavior can be predicted by past conduct as shown by many studies.

Establishing a system of pre-employment screening background check is very important, more than ever a criminal record.

Best,

Careers Feedback: I can understand that you are nervous, that’s only natural. Don’t worry it happens to everyone.

This is your chance to really sell yourself, basically what most employers are looking for are dedicated hard working employees that take their work seriously and work well with others even in troubled situations.

They are interested to see how professionally you appear you could handle with rude or ignorant costumers as well as rude employees who slack off, or become jerks after getting hired. Don’t let that scare you, there are a lot of cool costumers that don’t want to cause a scene or make things difficult, but they ARE out there.

I work for a grocery store and I’ve had costumers imply that I don’t know what I’m doing in regards to following company policies that they don’t agree with. Or simply the way I bag their groceries at the checkout lines even though I’ve been a checker for over a year with no problems from my boss. It has gotten to the point before where I have held my tongue only to call a manager to help diffuse the situation peacefully.

But as anything those are downsides to working in retail. You can always improvise a little and have fun with or at least chat with co-workers who are a lot like you. I would say go into your interview with the mindset of looking forward to the job and selling yourself at every chance you can in order to get it.

If you sound confident and enthusiastic, those are two big things that will help you.

Careers Feedback: Depending on where you are in your career and industry experience, you would be a good candidate for finance related positions….in banking, corporate etc. An MBA can help with making this transition.

I started out in law and moved into risk assessment in commercial lending.

Careers Feedback: Being that it is a group interview, this is obviously not a formal one-on-one interview. You won’t be alone. However, you will be working in small groups amongst other participants who are also following in the same position as you are applying for. Group interviews usually last for an hour tops and involves in group activities and questions about the position and how you would handle the situation. Several canidates will be watching your progress and group and will evaluate each individual.

If you did good enough in the interview, it’s not over yet. You will then be contacted possibly by the store manager and have a formal one-on-one interview.

Good luck
