NEW !

Let’s start with candidates.  It’s always stressful looking for a new job regardless how confident and skilled you are!

YOU need to stand out from the crowd!  How to do this you ask?  The first step is to create a resume that stands out and will be read in the hundreds of resumes received through emails!

2.       It needs to be professional but still attract the reader’s attention! Use graphics to make your resume stand out, a coloured line in a corporate colour above or to the left side to catch the eye of the reader. Some people advise you to include a photo but unless you are highly photogenic we don’t recommend it!

4.       On the 2^nd page you start with your employment history with the last job first and working backwards.  List the company name, dates, position and responsibilities.  List your job duties in point form giving enough information for the reader to be able to assess your suitability. Write it as though you where writing it for someone to do your job!

6.       We recommend that you write your own resume.  Your resume is a legal document and only you know what you can and can’t do. 

8.       Remember that the person who is reading your resume can only go by what and how you write the information. Make it positive.

1. Make sure that when you employ new staff that you give them a job description setting out their responsibilities.  It’s one of the biggest complaints from candidates that what they are told at the interview is not the same when they start a new job! If it’s in writing there will be no misunderstanding!

    

2. Make sure that each employee understands how their role is important to the success of the company and how you are a team and when the company wins they win too.  Buy them morning tea or lunch for a win this will bond the team and they will feel appreciated.

    

3. A positive work environment is a key element of keeping good staff.  If there is a problem or complaint fix it.  This will send a message that you listen and act.

    

4. Money is not always the motivator, flexible time, a day off for hours put in, tickets to a particular show will show that you are willing to be flexible and they will respond in kind.

    

5. Set and monitor performances. Performance reviews can be a scary term but there are always reasons to get together once or twice a year to discuss where they see themselves and how they think they have performed, where they want to be, etc.. Keep them informal but make notes and set out timelines on improvements needed and give copy to employee.

    

6. Listen to your employees’ ideas and suggestions with an open mind.  Sometimes the best ideas come from the people that are doing the job.  If a suggestion cannot be implemented let them know you appreciate their ideas but it cannot be implemented because...and ask them to keep the ideas coming.

    

7. New parents sometimes want and need to work but cannot handle the demands.  Offer part time work to a valued employee or the opportunity to work from home, you will save on bringing in new people that will take 6-12 months to be fully productive and you might find that working part time gives you the same productivity!  People tend to cram more in their work life when they have less time!

    

8. Organise a regular yearly training, motivational seminar for your staff.  An NLP seminar can be fun and discovers effective ways to get rid of preconceived ideas and make your staff more productive and for a group session doesn’t cost the earth!

    

CHARITY!
