Retail Jobs – Acing The Job Application

The unemployment rate in the country has not been stabilized. Although, there have been some improvements but not enough to say that “we are back on track.” If you happen to be one of the millions who do not want job and you are looking for one, why not start your hunt for retail jobs. There are loads of them. All you need to do is to search for them on the classifieds and online.

To enable you to get higher chances of getting that job, you need to equip yourself with tips and easy to follow guidelines on how to make it all happen.

Here are some cool tips on how to ace your job application for retail jobs:

1. Look for retail jobs that do fit your qualifications.

First things first, you do need to search for retail jobs that do fit your qualifications. The common misconceptions most applicants do is that they will submit their application to bunch of companies without taking into consideration if their qualifications do fit for the job. When the HR will sort out the applications, for sure yours will be put on the bin. Getting the right job for your qualification is the key here. At least, this will give you added points to the company that you do know what you are getting into and you got what it takes for the job.

2. Groom your resume to impress.

A resume might be a bunch of words that tells the employer who you are in a nutshell. Don’t you know that your resume will lead you a step closer to the job? Yes, how you present the details on your resume can either make or break your application. Thus, it is important that when you do apply for retail jobs you would also see to it your resume is presentable and contains information about yourself, experience, and other relevant information deemed necessary. Be truthful; do not add facts or else it will be your demise when the company finds out you are lying.

3. Do look clean and neat when scheduled for an interview.

If you are scheduled for an interview, be sure that you do look clean and neat. You do not want the interviewee be distracted due to how you look at, you smell, or your hair is so messy or you are wearing an awful outfit. You need to ensure that you do look presentable, fit for the job interview. Wearing the proper attire is a must. You do not want to wear casual instead business attire will do. This will give the interviewee an impression that indeed you are serious in your application, and you do mean business.

4. Think before you talk during an interview.

Last but not the least is you do need to think before you utter words during an interview. The problem with most applicants is that when asked certain questions, they do not think at all. They just say what they want to say whether organizing their thoughts first. What you are after here is to establish to the interviewee that your communication skills are good and that you are capable in relaying the message quite well.

Video Interviewing: A Model For Hiring

It doesn’t have to be Black Friday for this scenario: a long line at the counter, busy sales staff ringing up customers, and a job seeker walks up. The seeker could be your next star employee, but chances are that the customers are the priority so the seeker doesn’t get much attention.

In the highly service-oriented business of retail, is that acceptable?

JobOn is one company with an idea on how technology can improve this. It combines job listings with the ability for candidates to apply by video. Seekers get a free account, answer a few common interview questions, and send the recorded responses to the retailers and other employers on the site, jobon.com. Employers view the videos, see the enthusiasm and other traits they want in applicants, then invite them in for a face-to-face meeting. It won’t completely solve the problem of mixing seekers and customers during busy times, however it does introduce a better way to hire.

Think of it as a cross between craigslist and YouTube.

Most candidates look the same on their application. Name, address, telephone, and maybe a little work experience. Going through applications – even those sent from the web – is painful because it’s hard to distinguish applicants. Add scheduling of interviews, and then spending a certain amount of time with each one even though managers know quickly whether someone is a good match. Suddenly there are many hours invested in the process, and even then the result may be a “panic hire” that doesn’t last.

Through video, however, managers gain an edge: they view applicants’ videos during non-peak hours so they can spend more time scrutinizing them and making better hires. That’s the real genius of this approach: it reverses the traditional hiring process. With the recorded interview first, the face-to-face interview can be a mere formality. You wouldn’t be talking to this candidate if you didn’t already have a great feeling about him or her. And you can’t get that from a paper application at the beginning of the process.

JobOn charges nothing for job seekers, and retail employers pay a modest $25 a month to view videos of up to 25 applicants (the first 10 are free). The company has subscription pricing for “super users” needing more than that).

Technology has improved retail a great deal with barcode scanning, inventory management and other tools. It has now reached down to the hiring process, which has been so manual and inefficient for so long that many of us didn’t even know it needed attention. Now that we have a solution let’s put it to good use.

Macy’s, way to go with holiday hiring

Macy’s is taking a huge step in hiring for this holiday retail season . They will be hiring close to 78,000 retail associates for the holidays. I like the positive steps Macy’s is taking to boost the economy, even if it’s temporary thing. Any bit does help and Macy’s is going a great job of it.

Holiday job hiring soft this year?

Since the holiday season is fast approaching this year, most retailers should be gearing up to hire for the busiest season of the year. But from what I am seeing, I doubt, a lot of retail stores will really hire many associates. Due to high costs, and uncertainty in the retail markets, things might be much slower than last year.
