Each week, one of thunder::tech’s different departments will provide some insight into their field. This week, our operations team shares a few job search tips.
As we continue searching for talented individuals to join our growing team, our Operations department reviews hundreds of resumes each month and conducts several candidate interviews. Below are few cautionary tips to keep your application at the top of the pile.
DO NOT…
1) Send a resume or cover letter referencing a different position than the one we are offering
The resume and cover letter are the first impression we get of potential candidates and referencing another position shows a lack of attention to detail. Missing an important detail like this makes us wonder what other details the candidate will let slip through the cracks.
2) Post inappropriate information/pictures on any public social media sites
Social media continues to play a much bigger role in our industry and we encourage our employees to experiment with social networks. However, any public information or profiles on these sites has the potential to be found by our clients and can ultimately be seen as a reflection of thunder::tech. If we should come across anything lewd, rude or otherwise unprofessional, you will not be moving forward in the interview process.
3) Come to an interview dressed inappropriately
While we have a relaxed atmosphere here at thunder::tech, it’s important to emphasize that we are still a professional organization. Professional dress is highly recommended throughout the interview process- save the jeans for when you get the job.
4) Come to an interview unprepared
In addition to bringing extra copies of your resume and your portfolio, it is essential that candidates have a solid understanding of thunder::tech, our clients and our services. Simply reading our “About Us” page won’t cut it. It is also equally as important for us to find the right candidate as it is for the candidate to feel comfortable joining our team. If a candidate does not have questions prepared for us, it shows they are not as serious about working with us as we would like.
5) Show an overall lack of enthusiasm for the position
Attitude is everything. if you are not excited about thunder::tech and the position, we will not be excited to hire you. From the minute you walk in the door, be ready to bring your A game because the interview process isn’t limited to just questions and answers.
