Nurses, How About a New Coach Purse? Happy National Nurses' Week from HealthCareerWeb.com

Posted by The Employment Guide | Wednesday, May 06, 2009
, , ,

Today is National Nurses Day. National Nurses Day is also known as National RN Recognition Day, is always celebrated on May 6th and opens National Nurses Week. National Nurses Week begins each year on May 6th and ends on May 12th, the birth date of Florence Nightingale.

We celebrate nurses on the birthday of Florence Nightingale because she set an example of compassion, commitment to patient care, and diligent and thoughtful hospital administration that has shaped our standards for modern day nursing.

HealthCareerWeb.com is proud to recognize nurses everywhere for the quality work they provide and their tireless commitment to the health profession. To pay tribute, the healthcare job board and social network will give away a Coach purse to one lucky recipient.


For details on how to enter and win a Coach Purse visit HealthCareerWeb.com and click to register for the giveaway.


In addition, to further help nurses connect with nursing jobs, HealthCareerWeb.com will extend a special offer to employers for the month of May. Buy any single job posting or posting package and receive a matching posting or posting package absolutely free. Contact your sales rep or go visit our website for more information.

According to Denise Tanner, business development manager of HealthCareerWeb.com, “Evidence shows that if hospitals invest in appropriate Registered Nurse (RN) staffing, thousands of lives and millions of dollars could be saved each year. Nurses make the critical, cost-effective difference in providing safe, high-quality patient care and we are proud to honor them this month.”

5 Things to Do at a Job Fair (and 5 Not to Do)!

Posted by The Employment Guide | Thursday, April 23, 2009

One of the questions we are asked by many job seekers is what to do at a job fair, so we came up with a list of 5 do's and 5 do not's that should make your job fair experience more productive.

Do's

  1. Do prepare before the event. Research the companies that will be attending. The fact that you know about the recruiter's company will go a long way toward getting you an interview.
  2. Do talk to every recruiter at the event. You never know what a company may be looking for. You might not think your dream job is digging ditches, but "Ditch Diggers, Inc" might be looking for an IT professional at their corporate office. Even if the recruiter doesn't have a job that is a good fit for you, the process of talking with the recruiter is great practice.
  3. Do sell yourself to the recruiter. Don't just ask or answer questions, have a 30 second pitch ready to present to the recruiter. Tell them what you can do for their company.
  4. Do take something away from the every conversation. Any "inside" information you can uncover will help you on follow-up interviews.
  5. Do follow up. Write a thank-you note, email another copy of your resume to the recruiter with a cover letter (you did pick up their business card, didn't you), and visit the company's website for more information
Do Not's

  1. Do Not show up in cut off jeans and a tank top. Even if you are applying for a job as a "beach bum", this is not appropriate interview dress.
  2. Do Not break in line. While you are obviously the most qualified applicant for the job, Bubba the bouncer may not agree. Be patient and wait your turn.
  3. Do Not explain to the recruiter that you lost your last job because everyone at your former place of employment was an idiot, they all had it in for you, you really didn't steal that much from the company, and you are considering taking them to court.
  4. Do Not cruise the tables looking for "goodies" that the recruiters may be giving away. If you are more interested in that Great 10 cent pen than an actual job, the recruiter will know.
  5. Do Not cry at the job fair. Job Fairs are a No Cry Zone....especially if you are a big, hairy guy with tattoos and a leather jacket (it's tough to dry your tears on leather).
Job Fairs are a great place to meet face-to-face with recruiters. Be prepared, talk to everyone, and keep a positive attitude.

The Interview That'll Bag A Job!

Posted by The Employment Guide | Wednesday, April 15, 2009
,

As we prepare for the upcoming Job Fairs in Greensboro and Charlotte we were searching for tips we can share with job seekers. We came across this great article, "The Interview That'll Bag A Job!" in the online edition of The Wall Street Journal.

The article shares several great tips from recruiters on what you should and shouldn't do on your job interview. Tips like "Don't appear desperate", to "show you've done your homework on the company" are all useful tips to remember when you land that interview.

We suggest thay if you do have an interview scheduled, read the article for some last minute tips.

And don't forget that a great way to get an interview is to attend one of our Job Fairs. You can find out more about our upcoming events and pre-register and upload your resume at http://www.employmentguide.com/browse_jobfairs.html . We're expecting 15 to 20 companies, like AT&T/ Yellowpages.com, Bojangles, Terminix, NASCAR Tech, Nouveau Riche, Vanderbilt Mortgage and many others.

So if you're looking for a new career opportunity, be sure to attend the job fair, do your homework, ace the interview, and land that great new job.
