I am having an issue with not hiring the right people. I think they are at the time but more times than not, often the end up NOT being what they appear to be in the beginning. I would appreciate any advice at all. Thank you in advance

You know, that is such a great question.  I'm stumped.  I do love the one about "they probably hired an illegal immigrant"!!  that is funny!  probably totally true.  She said J/K, I'm not, heck, I'm from LA!!!\n\nBut honestly, that is really lame.  It could depend on several things such as the type of job you're going for.  I suspect that since you said "second job", it must be something at a store or something like that; sales, retail, hospitality.  I mean, clearly, you're not an engineer and trying to get a second job as a financial consultant!  not cause you couldn't, just because of the time factor.  SO, with that said, I think that it is a total lazyness thing on their part.   If you're going for jobs that have a super high turnover such as retail or hospitality, then first of all, there's probably a lot of "younger" type managers and they do their job as an H.R. person by just calling qualified candidates.  Then once they do that, they give the pile of resumes of "available people" to the hiring manager and since that hiring manager is probably 26, they have no clue what to really look for and probably take someone who either 1, was right there at the right time 2, had similar experience at a similar business or 3, didn't even bother filling the position.  \n\nI'm betting on this.  If you're going for these types of jobs, you are GROSSLY over estimating them!!!  SO many managers are clueless and have little business being a manager in the first place.  they just happened to be at the right place at the right time for a promotion.  Don't despair.  If there's somewhere where you really want to work, go in and hand the hiring manager your resume.   Human contact does go far.

I had the same issues for the past 6 years...fortunately I dont have to work but the job market is not very good right now...I would try rewriting my resume and use connections to help with the search.  I dont think its you I think its the market...If those things work then great and if not no worries keep looking...trust me the job market ispoor right now.

You are not going to like this answer, but maybe they did not like working with you, and/or felt your work was not up to the standard.  Maybe they do not want to hire someone they know is going to quit as soon as another opportunity comes along, because hiring and training is an expensive and burdensome process.

If your question is if you are going to get the job, after what you said I think you will not...\nBut... \nYou are right!!!, our times a tough and it is ridiculous how the companies cover their a**** to be sure they have a good citizen, healthy, free of debts, perfect, smart, unique, etc employee...

Wow, for that many questions you should contact a recruiter.  Not trying to be mean, just that they could give you the most accurate answers.

Please keep on the company until they say,  Thank you but we have decided to go with another candidate.   The job is yours to lose.   Sometimes employers pick the candidate that is persistent enough to wade through conflicting schedules, changed meeting times.     Stay persistent.   The rewards are given to those that keep at it.

I commend you on being persistent with attempting to become hired with them. But, would you want to work for such an unorganized company? Would you be proud to say you worked for someone that treated potential employees that way. Find a company that will appreciate you for the responsible person that you are.

It already is in some places! If we choose someone new for our team we look for a bunch of things but mainly they have to be able to work in our team as a team member and not a VIP and they have to be motivated. I would always choose someone motivated over someone with alot of experience but who seems unmotivated. Of course we always look for someone with an education in our field but we also have people on our team that have never worked in this job before but show the ability to learn and adapt and to play on a team. Oh yeah.. it also helps if they´re just nice who don´t have too man issues :-)

sounds like a nice idea- even if by the time they recieve it- they already hired someone else!  Maybe they will keep you in mind next time there is an opening if they dont hire you this time.

The most difficult thing when hiring is to know who's best for the job. In my experience, the best people are those who have the best attitude and not only the best skills. Having said this, I would suggest you send an email to follow up and say that you liked very much the job and what you liked very much what you learned about the company and the position in the phone interview. Mention that you hope you were able to convey why you believe your experience and carreer goals are 100% in line with what you understand they are looking for. You can also add that you would like the chance to further discuss this opportunity in an interview at their earliest convenience.\nafter that...patience...\ngood luck!

Actually the chances of getting caught are not quite that good, but they are VERY thorough. I've worked with many immigrants that have done the same and so far everything is good. I'm not advocating it, and the penalties are indeed harsh, but did want to say it does work sometimes. I've been offered the same many a times (though I must say I would classify none of them as "hot") but I am WAY too chicken to tempt it.

Remember you were the elected leader, therefore the majority of the group believes you can handle the job. They are looking to you for leadership, while I dont know if the person holding up the team voted for you, but odds are your arent their favorite person. Id talk to that person if i were you and possibly get rid of them, if need be.

Call back anyone who has interviewed you recently and talk to them.  Ask them if there is something you can do to improve your chances of hire!  Good luck.

Yes, I've seen that happen before.  It's really annoying, but you figure if that's their style, do you really want to be working for them anyway?  More likely, they might offer something but refuse to put it in writing so that they can back out later.\n\nEdit: What that probably means is that you're kind of a second or third choice candidate for them, and they're still looking for the right person, but in case they don't find anyone, you're kind of the backup.  It's probably better to follow up still in case you can still get the job, but go ahead and treat it like you don't have an offer and keep searching for a job.

The job situation sucks in Norther Il right now.  I am from Freeport and we had to move south of Joliet to find work.  Chrysler was hiring not to long ago, also, isn't there Green Giant in town.  I had trouble finding a job down here after my husband moved us down here, but I did a job spell and I got three job offers in one day.  I take it from your profile though that spells aren't an option for you.  I guess pray to God or whoever and see if they will help you.

I've gotten many jobs this way....call HER first, tell her you are excited about the opportunity to work and just wanted to know if she has made a decision yet....I had one employer tell me (after I had called her like 5 times) that my enthusiasm and excitement for the job got it for me even when there were more qualified people for it.
