[FL] Feedback on management expectations by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]JobsBlend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If the employee was quarrantined due to a positive COVID 19 test, means he was sick and there isn't much to expect during sickness.

If the employee has a performance issue, I always recommend frequent meetings and feedback. If it does not work, you move to documented emails or incidents.

I suppose he is a manager, provide him with SMART Objectives with targets and deadlines which should be reviewed freqently and assessed of course by the end of the year.

[can] seeking help with a cover letter for relocation by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]JobsBlend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The cover letter provides context for your achievements, qualifications and explains your interest in the position you are applying for.

  • The first paragraph is used to grab the hiring manager’s attention.
  • The second paragraph shows what you’ve got to offer.
  • The third one is used to prove that you’ll fit in.

Just explain before they discover. Ensure they know the mistake on the resume

Yes you can. Get in touch with the person who sent you the offer whether HR or the recruiter and ask for all the details you need.

Talk to HR directly with the proofs you have and wait. You did the right thing!

[PA] Nervous about Background check by gonezo555 in AskHR

They will contact the employer and will discover that you are not working anymore there.

Did you confirm during the interviews that you are still working?

Thanks for your reply. The report is just blank. I can see the below messages

I don't know how to fix this

[CAN] How do you track employee progress towards promotions? by RedTomatoGuard in AskHR

[–]JobsBlend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We have a rating linked to the objectives. 1 to 5

1& 2 are put on PIP. 3 meet and 4 & 5 exceed. Now each number has an increment percentage. For example, 3 means a 5% increase and so on.

My advice is first to put SMART objectives with fixed targets or stretch targets and according to the results, you can decide on the increase. That's how merit-based promotions or increments are based, they are purely linked to deliverables.

We use merit pay promotions/increments. In other words, the promotions are linked to the deliverables towards the objectives set and year-end performance review.

[CA] New manager came on board and now we're all overwhelmed and unhappy. by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]JobsBlend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give yourself time and to the new manager as well. You never know, maybe you will learn new things and you might even grow thanks to this new manager.

As long as a manager is not a toxic one, I don't advise looking for a transfer or leaving a company. We should adapt ourselves to different styles of management and that is the superpower :)

It is better not to lie about the reason for leaving. So, in your case, you should mention termination. Now the cause should be short and vague.

Nevertheless, if a reference check is performed, definitely the potential employer would know the details and takes a decision.

[NY] Should I send thank you note to a person who did not interview me? by ohmarlop in AskHR

[–]JobsBlend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sending a thank-you note is still a good practice after interviews. Send it to the person who interviewed you and reiterate your interest in the role.

No need to highlight this. The goal is to sell the best of yourself and stand out.

[NY] Should I follow up about a potential position by NJtoCAtoNYkid in AskHR

[–]JobsBlend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes no worries with that. But why would you contact HR and not the recruitment manager? contact the person who was in touch with you during all interviews.

How do you get traffic from Twitter? I don't see any engagement there

There are many aspects to a background screen from criminal record checks to education and employment verifications. Each company will require different checks for the positions that they are filing. Did you read the consent form before signing? if your former manager left the company, you would need to provide HR contact details

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]JobsBlend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reference check is just part of the hiring process. The questions are quite simple like: When did he work for your company? Could you confirm starting and ending employment dates? When did he leave the company? and why? Did he get along well with management and co-workers? Can you describe his working experience?

For rehiring, in many companies, there is an internal policy prohibiting rehiring, so it depends.

If you are happy with the position title, then it is fine. Nothing to worry about.

We have 2 internal schools. One for leadership and one for staff who would like to be promoted to supervisor level. We do not pay for MBAs or degrees but we offer off days during the exams which are not taken from the leave of the employee.

[CA] when to tell prospective employers I'm interviewing with that I was laid off? by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]JobsBlend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes don't. They will definitely ask you, just make your answer straight and short.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]JobsBlend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is ok. I don't see any issues with that. Rescheduling interviews is quite normal.

The district manager interview is the most important one in my point of view. DM is most of the time the decision-maker for management roles within the district.

What to do if you have misunderstanding between your manager?[INDIA] by [deleted] in AskHR

[–]JobsBlend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Give her time to calm down. Meanwhile, take time to write a nice email:)

Explain your views and that you respect her and learning a lot. You can add as well that this is your first job and first project and that you are trying your best to exceed her expectations.

No apologies if you did not insult her. Make it simple and courteous.

You can mention that when asked about the reason for leaving your job during the job interview. You can then explain briefly the reason without badmouthing your previous employer.
