I am working with a charity who is at interview stage this week. Last week we shared the interview questions in advance. This won't suit everyone but it really does set the tone for an inclusive interview process. "As part of our commitment to transparency and fairness in our hiring process, we are providing you with a set of questions in advance of your interview. These questions have been thoughtfully crafted to give you an opportunity to showcase your skills, experience, and fit for the role." I interviewed for a role whilst I was on maternity leave when my young child was around nine months old. I asked for the interview questions in advance (which took a lot of courage at the time) and my request was turned down. I didn't get much sleep the night before (our youngest wasn't sleeping well and had a temperature, I was very nervous) and, whilst I was really proud of my performance under the circumstances, this experience has stuck with me many years later. Receiving the questions in advance would have been transformative for me. If as a hiring manager you haven't shared the questions in advance yet but you have been considering it as part of your recruitment, please do give it a try. It will very likely lead to a positive process, particularly for the (huge) ambitious talent pool of underrepresented groups. #InclusiveRecruitment #EquityDiversityInclusion #InterviewBestPractice #GenderPayGap #CharitySector #CharityTalent Charity People

Interviews with prospective volunteers are the first step in developing a potentially rich partnership. They’re not unlike a first date — you’re there to see who that person is about, to share what you’re about, and to see if there’s anything in common. If they do work out, hopefully, that first date will lead to true love and a genuine partnership! As such, interviews with this focus are more a conversation than an interrogation. They are two-way. They shouldn’t be all about you and your organization’s needs. Interviewers should plan to spend 50% of the time listening. Here are four helpful things to learn from volunteer applicants: 👉 What are the causes they support? 👉 What are their “Must Have’s” and “No-No’s”? 👉 What sparks their joy as a volunteer? 👉 Have they met your minimum qualifications for the role, or can they be trained up? Your #nonprofit #volunteer #screening activities should focus more on finding matches versus keeping people out. They can become essential tools for relationship building! This process can become a fantastic way to learn more about the people in your community and their hopes and dreams. In addition, your volunteer screening process can become a wonderful way to get clear on what will keep each volunteer happy, and are a helpful step toward attracting and matching the right volunteers with the right jobs.

It’s common to feel anxious about discussing your limited experience when changing careers. Here’s how to confidently navigate interviews and make a successful career pivot: https://bit.ly/3VHKnz0

#corrieredellasera www.edoardorabascini.it "Jobs for Young People" Changing your job is not just a matter of updating the resume or facing an interview... It is a journey that involves complex emotions and significant human challenges. Every time you take such an important decision, you are facing a series of fears, hopes, and uncertainties. The fear of the unknown is one of the greatest obstacles. Leaving a familiar environment that may have been your place for years can generate anxiety and insecurity. You wonder if they will succeed or will integrate into the new team, and if you will be able to find a new family.. I wonder how it is possible that many young people will, decide to change their activities so quickly and suddenly. I have seen the resumes of 3p years old with over 15 previous experiences. Although it is true that many companies hire for short terms, not providing job security, I see a great restlessness in our society among young people (but also not-so-young people! ) and a very high desire for change....

We have so many tips for getting interview ready - here are a few to get you started 🙌 1️⃣ Research the charity or non-profit Find out more about the work that the team you're hoping to join has been doing so that you can refer to it at the interview. Spend some time finding out more about the people interviewing you - what can you learn about their values and work interests to help shape your answers? 2️⃣ List your achievements against the points in the person specification The interviewers will be looking for examples which demonstrate that you meet many of the points in the person specification. 3️⃣ Practice the STAR method for answering questions S - Situation - what was the situation or background to the example you want to share? T - Task - what was the task you were responsible for? A - Action - what actions did you take to complete the task? R - Result - what was the result and what did you learn? Good luck with your interviews!

Let's talk about "hitting the ball back" during an interview if you're the candidate: When you're going in to interview, the goal of the Interviewer is never to stump you or ask you questions that cause you to freeze up. They are trying to learn more about you and your skillset because they want to make the right hire for their team. Always make sure you are prepared to "hit the ball back". What does that mean? It's teaching yourself how to volley and keep the conversation without responding in a way that allows the conversation to keep flowing. Interviewer: Tell me about what your day looks like in your current role Candidate: X, Y, Z answers. Is that similar to what I would be doing in this role? Is there anything different that you're looking for? ^^^^^ Rather than just answering the question and stopping, you keep it going to show your curiosity and interest in the role and ensuring you are a good fit. Researching who you are interviewing with ahead of time - checking out their bio on the company website or Linkedin profile is how you can prepare to have follow up questions or thoughts ready. If you notice you both have volunteered for charities that support the same cause, you have a family member that went to their alma mater, or you have mutual connections on Linkedin that you can ask how they know them. There are multiple ways to prepare and volley back to keep the conversation going so it doesn't feel one sided. You got this! 💪 #interviewtips #hiringtips

While I always share my mistakes, here is what I did that is worth the mention (during job search) - When I recognized I was getting burned out, I immediately went and watched a movie - Prepared a routine that include a daily interview preparation - Similarly, made a checklist of people I was networking and having coffee chats - Volunteered at Non profit organizations to have an understanding of Canadian way of things. - Finally, had no shame in reaching out contacts for help when I needed (in job search) Remember, it's not you that delay the process, it's how things are currently! Keep doing what's better for you 💯 Follow for more! #jobseeker #jobinterviews #career #networking #prepwithneema #thingsdoneright #immigrant #datajobs
