First, Congratulations, starting your own business must be very exciting. As for hiring those employees, my best advice is to make sure that whoever you hire is going to be a good for your company and is someone who can work in a team atmosphere, but is also capable of handling working independently. Check references for sure, have questions that you want to know done up in advance, such as punctuality, reliability, how their work performance was, what their function at their previous job was, would they hire the person again etc. It's also important to look at who they are giving you as a reference, it's telling when they have worked at a company for a number of years but they are only using a fellow co-worker for a reference. They should be using a supervisor. Depending on the type of position that you are hiring for you also might want to request samples of their work so you get an idea of the individuals capabilities. I hope this helps, Good Luck

First, be totally honest about your knowledge about the job.  However, give them a great understanding that you plan to work hard and feel you will do the job and more for them!  They expect you to sell yourself to them.  If you do not believe in yourself they will not want to hire you.  You have to have evidence of hard work and going the extra mile. Extra school activities, personal activities, sports (is great, shows team work and working hard).  \n\nDo not blabber and over talk, but show confidence and the ability to learn.  Give them the feeling (DO NOT TELL THEM) that if they do not hire you they will missing out on a great employee.\n\nDo not give them a salary amount, but ask them to chose and if you are doing great at six months that they may want to give you a raise.

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.

I work for a consulting/recruiting company.  I would say the first thing to do is establish a relationship with the client.  Get on the phone and make the calls.  Have lunch.  Get that first meeting.  Provide real customer service, not just communication through email.  In the first meeting, your only goal is to get a second meeting.  Spend some time before you go to this first meeting learning about the client company so that you have something to talk about and it will show that you are knowledgeable about the field.  In this first meeting, learn about the person you are with, hobbies, goals, kids, whatever it is that sparks conversation.  If you show up with the intention of selling your company and services, you're just going to be another salesman.  Become someone your client enjoys spending time with and doing business with.  Then you have a chance that when your client has a project, they will send you an RFP (request for proposal).  Then is the time to sell your company.  Research and write an awesome proposal.  Be aware that there are probably a few companies bidding for the same contract.  Hope this helps.

First, pick a job - something you are personally interested in.  Then ask yourself, what would you want to know about someone if you were going to hire him/her for the job.\n\nFirst, of course, you want to know their biographical information:  Name, address, etc.\n\nThen what?  What do you think is important?  Education?  Relevant experience?  Current job?  Past work experience?  Volunteer work?  References?  Hobbies?  Why is the applicant is interested in the job?  What else can you think of that would apply?  Military history?  Citizenship?

First of all; STOP that "on-call" crap.  Your work and time is WORTH money.\n\nTo start out, I would take the minimum wage in your state and then charge 1 1/2 times that.\n\nAs for things they get in the mail, day to day...you could go in for an hour or two, every other day.... or it can WAIT until your reg. time to be there.  DON'T spoil these people, especially if they are friends.. ( There's your first mistake...working for friends for below what the work is worth.)

Take a walk and concentrate on how well you're going to do, how every answer will be crisp, informative and complete, how bubbly with excitement you're going to be (not how nervous it makes you). \n\nEmployers want people with energy, whom are attentive and listen to instruction carefully. Then they want answers in as few words as possible so as not to waste their time. Ask before expounding too much. They will ask you if they need more.\n\nTry to say nothing negative about previous employers, or blame anyone for anything. Focus on strengths and how happy working for this company will make you. Do research and find out their business and make comments on that. Their company reports and newsletter from the company president are at the library.\n\nGood luck.

There are a number of awesome business plan books at your local library that will help you with the form (and samples) that will help you fill in the details. The problem with what benefits to provide to employees is that each has its cost which might not be approved by Management. Since I dont know what you have now, it's hard to suggest what better would be. Ask the employees what they'd like to see? Personally I would love an employer to offer a match on a 401K plan, tuition reimbursement, disability insurance, and discount buying plans. In regards to training, send the retail staff out in the field with installers (and get those installers into the office) so each can see what it's like on the other side. Any kind of trade publications and/or video training seminars would be great but don't make it so employees have to do it on their own time. Take time with the employees so they get a better overview not only of their jobs but of the company. Now how to increase sales??? Definately get a referral program going for customers to have reason to spread the word about your company to others. Word of mouth is the cheapest possible form of advertising and most effective. Don't forget to "tip" customers that refer others to you. If you dont have a website, get one and advertise it every where you can. Also, find other businesses that you can cross-refer to your clients and for them to refer to theirs. You dont want to work with competition but if you sell tile but not carpet, pair up with those who sell carpet but not tile. You get the point. There are lots of low cost ways to advertise your business. Check out the book (I found at library) called "Marketing without Money" by Nicholas E Bade. There are 300 tips on how to get your company name out there... surely a few will work for you. Does any of this help???

BEST ANSWER!\nStart from the earliest date to the last.\nGive the overall job title and follow with the responsibilities it entailed and it's importance to the company in each case, together with the person that you reported to and his position, don't forget the importance of teamwork.\nGood Luck!

You need to have a plan to answer these questions based on what you know the company is needing in an employee.\n\nWhat made you think that you were qualified for the job when you first applied for it?  Think about what the job announcement said.\nAre they looking for customer service specialists?  Are they looking for workers that are dependable and always on-time?\n\nWrite down what they are looking to get in an employee, then write down your answers to each of the questions.  I work for the Federal Government, and all of the announcement have KSAs.\nThose are Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities that you tell the employer why you should be their choice.  Take the time to write these down; no one else will see them so do not worry about the format.  Seeing the questions and answers in your own writing \nwill make it easier to answer the questions during the interview.\n\nGood Luck!

I suggest working for someone to gain experience, then you should decide what business you want to start.  Don't go with somebody else's suggestion, follow your instincts.

Write a thank you card to the hiring manager.  You never really know how much of an impression that makes, even years later.\n\nFind, and keep looking for, reasons to give the person a small communication, ranging from "I'm in the area, is there a good place to go to lunch" all the way to "I'm thinking of joining the local chapter of the American Accounting Association (or whatever field you are in!"  What are the meeting like?\n\nA low-key mentoring relationship could be a big help for you (or someone you know or meet) that needs a place to work.

Introduce the new person to everyone where they will be working.  Make sure they know where the bathrooms are, the vending machines, the smoking area, etc., etc.  Then explain, in general terms, just what it is that your department does, who does it, and why they do it.  Don't forget your vision/mission statement and your core values (if any).  Then hand them off to their supervisor, who will likely tell them the way things REALLY work and what their duties will now be.
