"Interview Tip"

The Wobbly Chair Test: An Interviewer's Unusual Interview Method

• Some interviewers use a 'wobbly chair test' during interviews to assess candidates' reactions to unexpected discomfort.

• Positive reactions, such as calmly tolerating the discomfort or politely requesting a change, demonstrate composure, problem-solving skills, and proactivity.

• Negative reactions, like complaining without offering a solution, may indicate a lack of focus or inability to handle minor workplace disruptions.

• While this unconventional method aims to gauge personality and resilience, its fairness and relevance to job requirements are debated, raising ethical concerns about its use in the hiring process. #AWU #disability #jobs #interviewtips

Post-Pandemic Workplace Transformation

• The COVID-19 pandemic drastically altered workplace dynamics, with a surge in remote work and hybrid models, leaving a lasting impact on employee engagement and wellbeing.

• While remote work initially offered flexibility, it also led to decreased employee engagement, a decline in connection to company purpose, and increased feelings of isolation.

• Employee wellbeing has significantly deteriorated since the pandemic, with rising stress levels, burnout, and a record low percentage of employees feeling their organization cares about their wellbeing.

• The 'Great Detachment' sees employees seeking new jobs but feeling unable to leave due to market conditions, impacting overall job satisfaction and increasing pressure on managers.

• Effective leadership, clear communication, and investment in employee wellbeing are crucial for organizations to navigate these challenges and build a thriving and engaged workforce in this evolving landscape. #AWU #disability #jobs

Millennials and Gen Z Reshaping the Workplace

• Millennials and Gen Z prioritize work-life balance and flexibility, with many preferring remote or hybrid work arrangements and valuing career growth alongside personal well-being.

• This generation embraces openness and transparency, sharing personal details with colleagues and fostering a more inclusive work environment, even discussing sensitive topics like health or cannabis use.

• While valuing remote work, they still appreciate social connections, highlighting the importance of team-building events like office parties and offsites for boosting morale and engagement.

• Employers who adapt to these evolving workplace preferences, prioritizing flexibility and fostering a culture of openness, are more likely to attract and retain top talent from these generations. #AWU #disability #jobs

"Interview Tip"

Navigating AI Questions in Job Interviews

• As AI adoption accelerates, job interviews increasingly include questions about AI proficiency.

• While deep AI expertise isn't always necessary, demonstrating curiosity and a willingness to learn are crucial.

• Highlighting how you've used AI to boost productivity or handle mundane tasks showcases adaptability.

• Researching the company's stance on AI and providing specific examples of its application in your work is recommended.

• Expressing a considered opinion on AI, whether positive or skeptical, grounded in knowledge, is more important than a definitive stance. #AWU #disability #jobs #interviewtips
