I am sharing my latest blog post from my site, HR by Nnamtique (nnamtique.com). I would love for everyone to check it out. It is written more to hiring managers, but I think that it can give job seekers some useful information on how effective hiring managers should operate. The link to the article is https://nnamtique.com/five-due-diligence-steps-to-effectively-assessing-job-candidates.

I just turned 47 and have over 13yrs of progressive HR experience. In the last year I have applied to over 400+ jobs and have had at least 40 job interviews. This last month I have had 7 alone and can't land a job. I'm very depressed and feel defeated. What more can I do? I'm on all the job sites and professional network sites.

I had a weird one today. I was told i was the only one being considered for a position. The interview seemed to go very well. The HR manager said he'd be putting together an offer package and sending it over by weeks end. Instead what I get today is an email saying "we've decided to open it up to other applicants. You're qualified, but I dont have any positive feedback for reasons they chose this." The problem comes in where my ex significant other is the president of the company I was just terminated from. I was fired for a very bogus reason..the real reason is our personal relationship ended with animosity on her part. NY is an at will state, so there's nothing i can say. Or is there?

I have worked for the same company for 5 years and I just got laid off due to down sizing. I now am looking for a new hub. I was in Human Resources and Recruiting. My problem is when I got my old job I had nothing on my background but since then something is on there from a old conviction back in 2014, I owned a home and my son lived in it he was dealing drugs out of it, when police came I was the only one there and I consented to a search not knowing! Anyway they found drugs and arrested me as the owner. So I ended up with a drug possession charge and conviction and now it shows up on my background. I didn't even do the drugs. How do I go about getting that known to any future employers. The background stops me dead I. My tracks. What can I do?

So, have you ever run across a job order that looks like they are asking for a candidate that can walk on water? Probably because they are. See, most companies have HR people post jobs NOT the manager who needs the employee. And HR just cuts and pastes jobs from the past job orders etc. But if you got the hiring manager on the phone and asked of these skills what are the must haves you would find that several of the skills aren't a must have. If you fit the job 80% apply to it.

I applied for a spokesperson at an area county. 12 hours later I received a message that "I didn't meet qualifications". I called the H-R office and spoke with the woman who had reviewed my resume. Her response: "You worked in TV, we are looking for a P-R professional" I asked her if she knew what we did in TV day in day out like a MAS*H unit of information, we get it in and flip it daily. This did no good, she told me she had been instructed to look for "certain things" and "I didn't make the cut". I told her the application listed a degree in communications and/or experience. It did not specify P-R.

My message to H-R folks: Don't be this worker. Explore backgrounds and maybe you will find it may not be labeled a banana, but it is indeed a banana. In the communications field we do a lot of the same things, but we use different titles. Be aware. Research. Do Your job when looking at potential applicants, don't take the lazy way out and say, "I know nothing about the TV Business".
