🏹The best formula🏹 for answering the question "tell me about yourself?" : 1) we say who you are now 2) then what you have done in the past 3) then we talk about our future plans. This way tells the recruiter your position , your experience relevant to the company, your goals that correlate with the company's goals, which makes you highly motivated. And company will love you (highly motivated person), you know. Also make sure your speech doesn't take more than two minutes. Relax, you don't need to talk about all your experiences, I'm sure there will be another question about that.

WHAT WAS YOUR THORN, BUD AND ROSE OF THE DAY? This is a great reflective exercise for you to do in the evening. Some may say that acknowledging the thorn is negative and you want to end on a positive note. I think it's important to face and acknowledge the challenges you are experiencing so you aren't ignoring them, while also focusing on the wonderful opportunities and positive moments you are grateful for in your day. Give it a try for a few days and perhaps you may find it helpful. ☑ Schedule a discovery call with me to learn how I can help you: https://lnkd.in/gD7jr78t ✅Find out today if you are the Target of a workplace bully by downloading this FREE guide: https://lnkd.in/ekA-ners Here is what ONE person said about my work: 🔥 "Lauri understands this like no one else.

Your job. Your company. To stay or go? Have you recently embarked on a job search? Or have you recently been contacted by a recruiter or a company and find yourself now considering a move? I recently worked with someone we recruited, and he admitted he liked the feel of the position we were recruiting for, but he had not at all considered leaving his current role, though admitted he had some issues in his current company that he was "learning to live with." I had him listen to this episode, advising him that before he set out to interview, to listen and take these steps and do this exercise. If the exercise told him to stay, I would have worked with him for referrals, and if the exercise led him to say it was time to go, I would set out with him on this opportunity. Fast forward, we recently placed him in his new role. I will be hosting him on an episode to further discuss how this episode opened his eyes and gave him a greater deal of confidence in his decision to go. In advance, tune in on what I still consider some of my greatest advice!

Learning should never stop.

🚨 Exciting News! 🚨 I’m thrilled to share my 161st Television Interview, where I dive deep into a critical topic: “How Does Skipping Reference Checks Impact Your Company?” In this engaging discussion, now available on YouTube, we explore why so many companies struggle to hire employees who truly fit their culture. 🎯 Spoiler alert: It’s not as difficult as some might think! One of the most common excuses I hear is, “We could be sued if we conduct Reference Checks.” In this interview, I break down why this is not only a weak excuse but also a potentially costly mistake for your company. I also shared some of my favorite questions that managers can use during reference checks—questions that have proven invaluable in identifying qualified candidates and the perfect fit for the team. 👉 Watch the full interview here: https://lnkd.in/ebvdmnAa Remember, proper reference checking is your best defense in ensuring your next hire is a fantastic addition to your company.
