I told the Sister Warriors who attended WHVRP Job Club this morning we would work on some tasks to help them discover what jobs they might be best at ... some people call it: vocational testing. I like the phrase: interest inventory.
If you are sure you know what you want to do, consider this list of questions:
1. Create a list of the 10 companies you would like to work for.
2. Research the company:
a. Do they have any job opening?
b. What is their policy on criminal backgrounds?
c. Would you like to work in that environment/culture?
d. Location (near a bus line? Will transportation be an issue?)
e. Hours (do you have any restrictions?)
f. What is the mission statement of the company?
Many times individuals apply at companies and have no idea what are the policies, environment/culture, location, or if the company is hiring.
**Some might be offended by the criminal background question. Turn it around: do you have concerns about working with someone who has background issues? And, where are those concerns based?
