Jobcase Basics
What’s the funniest thing that’s happened to you on the job?
While working out on the dock I was going to scare one of the drivers by popping an airtight bag used for securing the fright in place by running and jumping on it. Boy was I wrong! First-I was thrown way off it and ended up on the concrete floor super hard and embarrassed as all get out. Second-that would have been a safety violation if someone would have been there at the time. Learned a few lessons on that day!
Describe a time when you had to step outside of your comfort zone to take on a new challenge or responsibility. How did you approach the situation?
When I stepped out factory for awhile and worked for myself and I actually done pretty well in all i do.
Office boss had a bigger then a piece of toilet paper on their shoes and I really don't like people being embarrassed by others working against them
Have you ever stopped completing a job application after starting? What made you stop?
A job I had previously applied for called and hired me.
Navigating all the job search pop up adds. And attempting to load my resume. Fear of computers.
SUCCESS KEYS FOR INTERVIEWS: Distribution of Attitude
Interview sessions have changed over recent years, and it can be difficult to describe... who's sitting at the table making make decisions in your behalf.
Sometimes it could be...1) The Program Manager. 2) A Project Manager. 3) The HR Representative. 4) The Deputy Director.
At-a-glance, you have to ensure your "distribution of attitude" flows harmoniously to reach the ears of your listeners. Remember, they are the decision makers! (See illustration below.)
Your attitude is important, so, please manage this soft skill quickly.

What's the longest job search you've ever experienced?
I am a technical writer/editor and I'm almost at month 16 of no work and close to losing everything. I've put in tens of thousands of applications by now. It's getting so tough to feel any positivity or hope for the future. #advice #jobsearch

Almost lost out on a job offer due to a bad reference
Was hired to do virtual workshops, but the company didn't get the contracts they hired me for, so they assigned me other work I wasn't qualified for. I raised an objection to this, and the owner said, "just do your best", which I did. When they continued to not get work, I was verbally notified that I was being laid off. This week, a potential employer did a background check on me, and even though the owner rated me 'Excellent' on all performance categories, they reported that I had been terminated and wrote a very negative review, saying I performed poorly (on the duties I wasn't hired for). I disputed this with the background search vendor, stating that I was not provided any documented notification that I was terminated. Any suggestions? What other recourse do I have? #termination #backgroundcheck #interview #advice
