Most of you coming to visit the site in the past month are here by searching for something specific.
SCOTI
The Ohio Department of Job and Family Services has not done much to help explain what SCOTI is or how Ohio citizens should use it. A significant number of you find this blog because it’s one of the few (maybe the only) places that mentions it.
I’ve mentioned elsewhere that I’m not an expert on SCOTI. I wrote this post contrasting SCOTI and an Indeed Salary Search, and it remains one of the most popular articles people read. I get emails from readers, asking how to sign up for it, and I reply with all that I know:
It’s been ages since I tried to use SCOTI myself. I’ve heard the ODJFS recommends checking out http://ohiomeansjobs.com
How to Answer Interview Questions
Many readers come here looking for ways to answer job interview questions. I know I need to be reminded of these myself. In November 2009 I participated in something called NaPodPoMo, which stands for National Podcasters Post Month. Every day in November that year, I posted a video where I took a stab at a typical job interview question. You can find that series of videos here: Job Interview Questions: NaPodPoMo 2009 Video Series
Some of your particular favorites have been:
- Persuade me that you have strong analytical skills.
- Show me how you adapt to various people, situations, and environments.
- What did you dislike about your last job?
- When have you had to be relatively quick in coming to a decision?
- When have you missed an obvious solution to a problem?
- When have you had to go above and beyond the call of duty in order to get a job done?
I’d also recommend checking out the broader Interviewing category, which includes posts that are not part of the NaPodPoMo 2009 series.
Counter Offer Letters
Two posts I wrote about counter offer letters don’t contain much information. I still point people to the Google search results for “sample counter offer letters.”
What else is important?
I’d love to know what you’d like to see more of. I’ve got some ideas that still need to be fleshed out, but I’d love to keep this as a valuable resource for you. Let me know if there’s something you’d like to see more of. Also, let me know if you come across a bad link; i.e., one that no longer works. I’d also like to know what’s working for you? I provide no guarantee that anything I write over here will work, but maybe something has worked for you.
