🍕 When Job Applications Meet Pizza! 🍕 In a world where standing out from the crowd can make all the difference, Pizza Hut has just launched one of the most creative job-hunting initiatives I’ve seen – and it’s delivered right to your door! Introducing “ResZAme”, a unique approach that turns a simple pizza delivery into a job application. Here’s how it works: your résumé gets printed on the pizza box, and along with a delicious cheese pizza, it’s delivered to offices across New York City. 🍕📄 Imagine being a job seeker, sending not just your résumé, but a whole pizza to a potential employer! It’s quirky, unexpected, and certainly memorable – designed to make you stand out in a pile of traditional applications. Of course, Pizza Hut makes it clear there’s no guarantee of landing an interview (or a job) through this method, but for those willing to think outside the box – or in this case, inside the pizza box – it’s a fresh and fun way to get noticed. At a time when creativity is king, ResZAme could be just the “topping” you need to catch someone’s attention. 🍕✨ Would you try something this bold to land your dream job? #job #marketing #hiring #creativity

New Tough Interview Question & Answer Why haven't you obtained a job so far?  Depending on the job market at the time you’re looking for work, and how much time has passed since you last worked, this question can be asked to determine your motivation in finding a job. If you present yourself as highly skilled, motivated and experienced, lengthy periods of unemployment give hiring managers pause. Do not imply you are so picky that nothing will appeal to you. You can say you were doing some independent consulting and that the right full-time opportunity hadn't presented itself yet. If there are “red flags” that have cropped up before that are keeping you from getting the position you want, make sure you address them and eliminate them if possible. You want employers where you apply to see your potential value to their firm rather than your “perceived shortcomings.” Find more Tough Interview Questions & Answers at hanklondon.com

🥖 From Kneading Dough to Landing Roles: The Art of Bread Making and Recruiting 🥖 Every Friday, I dive into the tradition of making challah bread for Shabbat. And while kneading away, I started seeing surprising similarities between baking bread and the job hunt. Hang with me here – it’s all about patience, process, and maybe a little bit of magic. 🌟 Just like baking challah, finding the right candidate or job takes: 1. **The Right Ingredients:** Flour, yeast, and a pinch of salt – or, in recruiting terms, skills, culture fit, and ambition. Whether you’re crafting the perfect loaf or hiring the perfect candidate, every component counts. 2. **Patience in the Proofing Process:** You can’t rush the rise! Good challah, like a solid job offer, takes time. Whether you’re waiting for the right opportunity or the ideal candidate, remember – a rushed process often falls flat. 3. **Kneading Through the Challenges:** It takes a lot of work to create something worthwhile. Whether you're kneading dough or filtering through resumes, persistence is key. Yes, you’ll have sticky hands (or inboxes) sometimes, but the payoff is worth it! 4. **The Perfect Bake Time:** Finally, timing is everything! Just like you wouldn’t pull the challah out of the oven too soon, you shouldn’t rush into a decision in recruiting. When it's done just right, everyone’s satisfied. So here’s to those of us rolling up our sleeves – whether for bread or career goals – because, in both, there’s nothing quite like the reward of something handcrafted, patiently nurtured, and warmly appreciated. 🍞 #recruiting #jobhunting #challahwisdom #FridayVibes #ShabbatShalom

Can you bring some curry to the interview? Yesterday, I was in a Thai restaurant, savoring an exquisite green curry, and it got me thinking about the hiring process for chefs. Is it easy? Do they have to create a menu instead of a portfolio? When considering hiring a new chef, one important question is: should candidates cook something during the interview? I also imagine questions like: When did you decide to become a chef? What is your signature dish? What is your favorite or least favorite dish to prepare? How do you describe your overall cooking philosophy? Name the three kitchen tools you can't do without. Why are you considering a new position? I love thinking about that. And also, are chefs using LinkedIn? Would love to connect:) Bon appetit!💘

What is Your “French Omelet”? Recruiting quality talent is a challenge. Over the years, I’ve had to hire (and, unfortunately, fire) more than I’d like. Resumes? They only tell me where someone worked, not how they did their job. And references? Let’s be honest, they’re often hand-picked to ensure only positive feedback. So how do you really know if someone’s up for the job? Ask them to make a French omelet. If you’ve been in the culinary industry, you know what I mean. In kitchens, hiring is all about skill and grit. When I started out, most chefs barely glanced at my resume. They’d ask where I worked, sure, but only as context before handing me an apron and pointing me to the burners. Want the job? Show what you can do. In culinary school, we heard the “omelet test” was used by Chef Daniel Boulud. Why? Because it’s deceptively simple yet packed with skill—choosing the right pan, adjusting heat, managing timing, seasoning just right, and executing presentation. It’s a test of everything it takes to be an exceptional cook, and it can’t be faked. In kitchens, hiring isn’t about long interviews or polished answers. It’s: “Grab an apron, let’s see what you can do.”, no BS. That directness is something I respect and try to carry over to other hiring processes. Today, when I’m interviewing, I create a task specific to our company that reflects the precision, skill, and creativity I’m looking for—our version of the “French omelet.” There’s a lot to learn from an industry that thrives on thin margins and high-pressure teamwork. In kitchens, there’s no faking it. Just like a French omelet, every task is a test of skill, precision, and dedication. #Hiring #Recruiting #Hospitality #SkillAssessment #Leadership #CulinaryLessons #TeamBuilding #FrenchOmeletTest
