When looking into the applicant’s perspective on applying for a job, there is the uncertainty when filling out the application of what the hiring personnel want. When I applied to my current job as a teacher, I tried to highlight my most critical skills that I thought pertained to the job. I also knew from experience that it is good to have specific examples on how your skill set can be portrayed and always have your resume handy. When I first submitted my application, it took them three days to get back to me. I felt that their promptness to the hiring process made the job even more endearing. The communication through email was thorough and I felt they were very clear on their expectations for the role. I was asked extremely in-depth questions about my experience working with kids and it made me feel like they actually cared about the type of person that they would be hiring for the teaching role. After I was interviewed, they gave me a realistic callback time when they would get back to me on whether or not I was to be hired. It is my understanding from the many experiences I have had in the workforce that you can tell how the company culture and job expectation is going to be based on the interview process. I have had jobs where they were lax on their communication or they asked very surface level questions and the job ended up reflecting the interview process. This job currently has been the best job I have had in a long time, and it reflects greatly from the interview process.
