Everything went well in the interview,your resume sings but at the end you didnt get the job !
It is a
painful conundrum of the job search process: Rejected candidates want to understand why they didn't get
hired, but employers, fearing discrimination complaints, keep silent.
And those who do speak up offer little more than platitudes.
Without
specifics, candidates are left to repeat the same mistakes, while hiring
managers complain they're swamped with applicants who miss the mark.
"You
don't know how to adjust going forward," says technology professional Lisa
Roberson. When she wasn't selected for a job in her field a few years ago, she
emailed one of the people who had interviewed her to find out why.
The
response: Someone "more suited" to the job had been hired.
"Well, I could have guessed that," said Ms. Roberson, who works in
health-care IT.
Such
exchanges frustrate job seekers, especially those who
have been searching for long periods and desperately want some insight into how
they are viewed by hiring managers.
Providge Consulting, a Delaware-based
consulting firm, has a policy to keep candidates apprised at every step of its
hiring process and scores candidates on a range of criteria to keep its
decisions as objective as possible.
But when
the reasons for a rejection can't be boiled down to more clear-cut measures
like experience or education, HR managers "attempt to minimize those
conversations," said Tara Teaford, director of operations. That
may mean offering a vague response, adding that the company will reach out if
appropriate positions arise in the future.
"Most
of it is trying to protect ourselves from potential litigation," says Ms.
Teaford. "Once you cross the line between objective and subjective, it
gets very, very challenging."
And many
of the firms that want to provide feedback have their hands tied by company
lawyers.
Employers
were put on notice in late 2012 when the Equal Employment Opportunity Commissionidentified discrimination in hiring practices as one of its priorities
for the next three years, partly out of a recognition that few job seekers have
the resources to hire a lawyer and press their claims through civil courts,

So You’ve Graduated from College
Hooray you did it! You invested time, energy, and thousands of dollars in caffeine and energy drinks and now you join the elite 6.7%* who have a college degree. That’s pretty special. Congratulations!
Graduating from college means there are huge
changes on the horizon and one of those may be a change in your employment.
Consider the following:
Update your LinkedIn - Recruiters
often parse potential candidates based on degree or level of education. Get yourself
noticed by updating your education. While you’re there, be sure to join
relevant alumni groups and organizations on LinkedIn. You’ll hear about jobs
more quickly and have message boards where you can post your resume.
Register with your alumni organization – According to careerealism, over 80% of jobs don’t even make
it to a job board. Jobs are usually filled by referral, someone who knows
someone who knows the perfect person. As we say at SlingShot, “Your brand
is as strong as the people you know.” That includes your personal brand. So get
involved and get familiar with your alumni organization. (http://www.careerealism.com/job-search-word-mouth/)
If you’re already working, ask for more responsibility
– Now that school is over, you probably have a lot
more time on your hands. Position yourself for your next big shot by taking on
another project or helping build a new team at your current company. You
have a shiny new degree and new skills. Take the opportunity to test them out
in real life situations.

9 Tech Skills That Will No More Get You a Job
#7 SEO Specialist
Search
engine optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting the visibility of a
website or a web page in a search engine's "natural" or un-paid
("organic") search results.
As an
Internet marketing strategy, SEO considers how search engines work, what people
search for, the actual search terms or keywords typed into search engines and
which search engines are preferred by their targeted audience. However Google
no longer has a Search group. It's now called "Knowledge." That
should be a telling warning for all the search engine optimization (SEO) gurus
and ninjas looking for work. The explosion of smartphones, apps and real-time
location information - and especially social media recommendation - is
diminishing the importance of search results. And if we go with the abilities
of Google Now, eventually, information may be delivered to us even before we
search for it as our integrated, connected systems anticipate our needs.

"The big draw" Chalk ART - A festival to the heART!
It was my very first experience of witnessing the chalk art event. Although I am myself an artist with pencils and brushes, chalk was something I still have not tried. My MBA program gave me an opportunity to be a part of this event and experience the shades of chalk colors in a different way. As a part of my MBA program we took the project of creating a video for people to attend the chalk art festival and it gave us an opportunity to learn about our video making skills and it brought out our hidden talent.
There
was no age limit for the participants and we saw kids and older people drawing
their hearts out, adding colors and giving life to their imaginations on a very
hot day and I thought to myself - that is dedication! Overall just attending
the event was a great experience. My MBA friends had come with their spouses
and friends and it was a big gathering of people. Thanks to Yi Jiang for
organizing the event and Mizgon Zahir Darby for bringing out the hidden talents
within us.
