I was called yesterday for a job interview. I interviewed today for a social work position with a retirement/skills assistant facility. I lacked experience working as a social worker with the elderly. However, I worked with the elderly in the late 80s and early 90s as a private nursing assistance. The interviewer stated that I had the social work skills that she was looking for. I have heard this over and over again, but never hire. I was told she had to interview others and she wanted to call me for a second interview.Please pray for me and wish me good luck that I get the job. This agency appears to be a place I will love to work, with less stress that I am use to in child protection. If I am call back for a second interview, what should I expect?

The workplace is loaded with a variety of different people with varying personalities and the interviewer wants to know how you think you will fit in.

• Are you able to get along with different types of people?
• Do you have the skills to deal with other people of varying personalities?

You want to show the interviewer that it does not matter what kind of people you work with - just that work gets done. This shows the interviewer that you are more concerned with outcomes than personalities.

I just started at a call center a few weeks ago and Ive got to admit Im really liking it so far. Ive worked all sorts of different places from fast food to a metal plant to dishwashing to retail and Ive never had a job that Ive liked as much as this one. So for those of you looking and having trouble finding a good job my advice is try a call center. The one I work for is results and when I go in to work every day I see nothing but smiling faces and happy employees. Now there are some people that just arent cut out for a desk job,but for what Im making starting out,the benefits they offer,and the companies efforts to keep happy employees with cautious optimism Id go so far as to say so far this is the best place Ive ever worked.

It was my own goals and dreams that kept me going back to work daily at ADF International, not anything that the company itself self had to offer. While it does indeed offer the best medical benefits in the area, it doesn't offer much else. The wages are not competitive in the industry oh, and the upper management does not know what it is doing. For being an old company, they make a lot of rookie mistakes. I know they're based out of Terrebonne Canada, and I know that Terrebonne conducts itself in a much different way, but my experience at ADF International Montana leaves a very bad taste in my mouth. The foreman are great people, and very knowledgeable personnel. The workforce is a great group of people willing to put in the overtime and stay motivated. The company itself is poorly managed and the turn over there is ridiculous. They've already hired through the pool available to them in Great Falls Montana and they've had to start pulling from outside of Montana. They've begun to hire from all over the country as well as Canada. That's how I come to find myself in Montana, originally from Erie, PA, I came based on a phone interview and their offer for relocation fee. It is only a year later, and after a severe injury to myself, and their very stringent attendance policy, combined with a very non-understanding upper management, I find myself unemployed. Approach this company cautiously. As long as you're a yes man you'll survive just fine. But it doesn't take long for you to see the mistakes that they're making, mistakes that they stand on as practice.

You don't fit in to what you only applied for a job you should be judge by you experience for the job can you do it or not and not buy anything else personal so be happy that door didn't open for you something that is for you just move forward and don't worry about it and stop letting people twist you are mine Know Who You Are get a good laugh keep looking for work you find it

I had interviewed for a position where it started with the HR manager over the phone, then the technical manager I would report to, then director on the phone, followed by an in person interview with the technical director and senior technician.

Everything seemed to go very very well, I didn’t hear from them for a while then they told me they decided to go with another candidate. I was a little crushed but chalked it up. A month and a half later, the HR manager reached out to me saying they have good news. Apparently their first choice had medical issues and wasn’t able to sustain the job, so they turned to me, their second choice. They made me an offer and I negotiated, we came up with a number we both agree on. I filled out the forms they needed me to, My start date is Monday, September 9.

I do have good vibes about the company, they got very good reviews on glassdoor but I can’t help to feel a bit guarded about the fact that I was there a second choice but more so what happened to the first guy? I guess there’s no real way for me to tell what truly happened, if it wasn’t a medical issue.

Should I be concerned?

Oh....How nice it would be to work for a company and have another company offer you a position to work for them, at a better pay, more benefits and welcome arms to join their team. At least I can dream! I never went in the direction that were the "Hot" fields. Maybe I should have. Back in the day it was IT, then health careers, now the trades seem to be the latest thing. I've always liked to be in the creative field. My specialty is kitchen design. I opened up a cabinet shop for 6 years and I loved every minute of it. I had to close it two years ago due to lack of sales. Since then, I worked for two family owned businesses and was let go from both of those positions due to lack of traffic through the door, plus, I was the "Lowest Man on the Totem Pole". This has put quite a bit of stress on my family. I've had life long depression to add to the mix. I've been unemployed for over two months. It seems like this is where the desperation sets in. People will take a job weather they want it or not and weather it's a good fit for them. From being unhappy since you're unemployed to being grateful to have a job, but still unhappy by taking a job most people don't want or one that was a position with a revolving door. This is why I call it My Job Cycle Hell....I'll keep you posted

What is it about your company that you feel makes it different from other companies?

So I went through an interview at a hospital (Memorial Hospital) Belleville location for PCT and then went on with a job shadowing part after going through the procedure I received a call from the head nurse nurse Diane Kizar stating that I did not fit in.... it hurt my feelings then she told me she would do another job shadowing and told me to come back the following Sunday but she emailed me and said to do not even come and that HR would get back with me.... I tried emailing back but for some reason it said I was blocked .... they truly made me feel bad because I had in answered questions to why I didn’t fit in when I meet all requirements and the experience of PCT.....

Some of the personnel and employees were cruel
