Hi, Anne.

You might want to take a look at our April 4 2016 blog post for Leadershipmatters. You can find it here: https://leadershipmatters1213.wordpress.com/ I think too many interviewees and interviewers for that matter, talk way too much about content--this is the job, here's the collection, the site is beautiful, here's a program, our visitation, etc. And not enough about how things are done. How do good ideas get implemented? How many times does the staff meet? Is experimentation encouraged?

In the long haul, process is what you live with day to day, and you want to know you will be working with (or hiring) folks who are smart, creative and visionary.

Best,

Joan Baldwin

Hello All,

Apologies for cross-posting. I’m co-presenting a workshop next week on tips for resumes, cover letters, interviews, etc, one of my favorite topics. While my co-presenter and I have lots of opinions and could go on all day, we would love to hear from anyone who is involved in hiring or just has an opinion on any of the following:

· -Top mistakes job applicants make that get them moved to the “no” pile
-Top qualities you look for in a perspective candidate – i.e. soft skills vs. hard skill, education vs. experience
-How long do you spend reviewing a candidates application material on the first pass?

Reply to [log in to unmask] and I will write up a summary to share with the group. Thanks!
