"Post Interview Tip "

Don’t ruin a great interview with a bad follow-up. In the last stages of the interview process, make sure you send a thank you email to all involved, and don’t:

Ramble in your follow-up. A polite, concise follow-up is great. Don't ramble on about why you deserve the job. That is a big mistake. Keep your follow-ups professional and to the point.‍ #AWU #disability #jobs #interviewtips

Multitasking! The Negative Aspects.

• Reduced Focus and Attention: This is a big one. Our brains aren't really wired for true multitasking. Instead, we rapidly switch our attention between tasks, which can lead to shallower processing and a lack of deep focus on any single item.

• Increased Errors and Lower Quality: When your attention is divided, you're more likely to make mistakes, overlook details, and produce work that isn't up to your usual standards.

• Decreased Productivity (in reality): Despite the perception of efficiency, studies often show that multitasking actually reduces overall productivity due to the time it takes to switch between tasks and re-engage with each one. This "switching cost" can add up significantly.

• Higher Stress Levels: Constantly juggling multiple demands can be mentally taxing and lead to increased stress, frustration, and even burnout.

• Impaired Creativity and Problem-Solving: Deep thinking and creative solutions often require sustained focus. Multitasking can hinder this process by preventing you from fully immersing yourself in a problem.

• Poorer Retention of Information: When your attention is divided, you're less likely to fully process and remember the information related to each task.

• Superficial Engagement: You might end up only scratching the surface of each task without fully understanding the nuances or potential complexities.

• Negative Impact on Long-Term Goals: Constantly switching between urgent but perhaps less important tasks can distract you from focusing on strategic, long-term goals.

Ultimately, the effectiveness of multitasking often depends on the nature of the tasks, the individual's cognitive abilities, and the frequency of switching. While it might seem appealing in a busy work environment, focusing on one task at a time, or "single-tasking," often leads to higher quality work and greater overall productivity. #AWU #disability #jobs

"Resume Tip"

You must make your Resume Impactful!

An effective resume shows – not tells – how you add value. Yes, you need to list your responsibilities, but you also need to show what happened because you were there. In other words, call out your impact. For example, if you are responsible for recruiting and hiring and you would say it is one of your key strengths, include how many people you hired, how quickly you made those hires, and how many of your hires have outlasted the average tenure of your firm or your industry. #AWU #disability #jobs #resumetips

"Resume Tip"

Commitment

Use your resume as an opportunity to show your commitment and professional passion to your career, industry, profession and your skill development.

Employees who are invested in these areas often perform at the highest levels because their efforts are not just for a paycheck but also to contribute to their larger community or reputation. Your resume should show memberships in a professional association, participation in an industry conference, noted thought leadership on related topics, classes you have taken and more.

Your Resume is your calling card. Think carefully about what you write on it. What makes it stand out? #AWU #disability #jobs #resumetips

"Interview Tip"

Don't go off topic!

Listen carefully to the interviewer's questions and try to stay on topic by keeping your answers concise and relevant.

You'll miss out on making your point if you ramble on about things that are irrelevant to what you've actually been asked. If you notice yourself going off on a tangent, take a breath and get back to the question.

Going off topic may show that you cannot stay focused at the task at hand. Prepare! Prepare! #AWU #disability #jobs #interviewtips
