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.

Contact me.  And, if you’d like, check out what else I’m up to here

As I’ve said previously, I’m not an expert in Ohio Unemployment Benefits. I don’t work for the State of Ohio.  I’m just a guy sharing expertise gained from my own search and experience.

I don’t have to tell job seekers how frustrating it is to make sure you’re doing everything you need to get unemployment benefits. But I hope this post will point you  closer to getting the information you need.

It’s gotten easier to file

It’s gotten a lot easier over the years. Back in 2002, you might appear in person to file for benefits, but the office began encouraging people to file for Ohio unemployment benefits through their hotline: 1-877-644-6562. You’d get a card mailed to you and you’d need to fill it out and mail it back. Or you could call the phone number and file your claim that way. What’s nice these days is that you can still use the phone number, but you can also apply and get Ohio unemployment benefit information online.

SCOTI – should I really care about that?

One of the most popular posts on this blog is this one I wrote almost 4 years ago entitled Ohio SCOTI System and Indeed Salary Search. I’ve gotten emails from readers asking how to register for SCOTI. To be perfectly honest, I don’t think you can. SCOTI doesn’t even exist anymore.

When you file your initial claim, this is something you can ask the person on the phone.  They will probably point you to Ohio Means Jobs.

Background

As part of NaPodPoMo, I’m releasing a video (preferred) or audio (if needed) segment every day in November 2009, where I’m practicing answering a typical interviewing question.  Will my answers be perfect? Probably not.  This experiment has the following objectives:

• Practice answering typical interviewing questions
• Produce content for the internet on a consistent basis
• Develop some rudimentary skill in video production

Behavioral Interview Questions

For Week 3 of NaPodPoMo, I’m trying out some behavioral interview questions.  These questions are asked to infer future performance based on previous behavior.  Because of that, the answers are going to be very specific for each person who responds.

Here, then, for your enjoyment, is the next installment of the series, as Day 15 of 30:

Describe the most significant or creative presentation which you have had to complete.

The background music for this series is called “Dodging Buses” by Derek K. Miller. Check out his Penmachine Podcast.

Recent Media Appearance and Speaking Gig

Special thanks to NaPodPoMo founder Jennifer Navarrete for interviewing me for her NaPodPoMo project. I’ll update this post with the link to the specific interview as it becomes available.

A HUGE shout-out to the folks at the IHOM Job Search Ministry in the Cincinnati area for having me speak to them this past Thursday on the “Emotional Side of Job Search”. A heartfelt welcome to those of you checking this series from that group. Glad we got to share some chocolate together!

Do you read the local business journal the city where you live or want to work? Years ago I started doing that, just to see what companies are doing in the area and as a potential source for job leads, a way to get an understanding of the job market. I can’t remember whether the Cincinnati Business Courier does it, but the Dayton Business Journal publishes these lists every week of fastest growing companies, top minority-owned businesses, etc. I liked looking at those lists because it gave the name of the top official as well as other relevant information for generating leads.

I’m currently have the RSS feed for the Cincinnati Business Courier’s Breaking News in my Bloglines collection. I often don’t know what to make of some of the information I read, though.

On one hand I hear that unemployment rates are up slightly, but then I read that the job market for IT professionals is pretty good. I even saw this morning that Cincinnati is ranked 18th on Forbes magazine recent Best Cities for Young Professionals list.

Does it seem confusing to you? It does to me, sometimes. Then I look at the details and see that the unemployment article is talking about Ohio metro areas overall. I guess that’s what we need to do – look at the details a bit more closely.

Also, I think it’s a good idea not to let negative information put a cloud over your job search efforts. Doing so can lead to making excuses. You’ll be tempted, as I am, to think and say things like, “Oh, the job market’s just down; that’s why I’m not able to find work.” Let’s think and believe bigger than that.

“To touch the soul of another human being is to walk on holy ground.” – Stephen R. Covey, via QuotesBlog

I met Ron Hittle about 3-1/2 years ago at a career workshop at Sinclair Community College in Dayton, Ohio. I remember that it was an encouraging and inspiring time for me, since I was really struggling for direction in my career. The encounter and events since then have showed me how powerful connecting with one person can positively affect another.

That year I also met a recruiter in the Dayton area, and we’ve exchanged e-mails and phone conversations over the past three years or so, having become part of each other’s professional network.

She mentioned early on that I must have met Ron Hittle.

“How did you know that?” I asked.

“From then ending of your voicemail message,” she replied. “I do that, too.”

Imitation, it’s been said, is the sincerest form of flattery. This recruiter and I at different times had adopted Ron’s way of closing a message as our own.

It’s a little bittersweet that I share all of this, because a few moments ago, she called me to say that Ron Hittle passed away this weekend. He’d retired some time ago and had been dealing with some health issues, but it still came suddenly. My thoughts and prayers go up to the family, as well as those who knew Ron well. He will surely be missed.

As I mentioned, I didn’t know Ron that well, but he left a lasting impression on me just from one statement from his voicemail message, because it points to my own ability to do something about my life versus letting something happen.

If you’ve received an email from me or have heard me sign off on my mostly music podcast, you probably already know what I’m about to say.

Most people I know usually end a conversation by saying, “Have a great day!”

Ron Hittle would say, “Make it a great day!”

Thanks, Ron. I think I will.

Update: Clarifying expecations.

One of the requirements when you file an unemployment claim in Ohio is that you sign up for their Sharing Career Opportunities & Training Information (SCOTI) system (UPDATE: The website now directs to no longer directs anywhere. Check out Ohio Means Jobs). Essentially, you get put into the system with your basic background, and, as participating companies search for individuals, you get contacted by SCOTI to call in to see if there is a suitable match. Receiving unemployment benefits is contingent upon your participation; i.e., if you don’t call, you may not get your unemployment compensation.

I recevied a letter over the weekend from the SCOTI system, and I just finished talking with the representative. The company is looking for an Application Developer with 3-5 years of experience with COBOL, CICS, JCL, and SQL. I don’t have that specific type of experience, and so it was determined that I’m not a suitable match.

One thing that does bother me about that position is the annual salary that the job was offering: $18,335. That sounded really low, and I mentioned that during the phone conversation, but the rep said that’s what it was.

After I hung up, I used the Indeed Salary Search to check whether I was right, and here are the results:

application developer COBOL CICS JCL SQL in Cincinnati, OH $79,000

View Larger Salary Graph

If the rate was really an hourly rate of $18.335/hour ($38,136/year), it would be a lot more reasonable, but still less than the average.

Hopefully the next opportunity will be a more suitable match. What are your thoughts?

The Cincinnati Business Courier reports:

Four companies were named Thursday, from 16 finalists and more than 130 nominated companies, as Greater Cincinnati’s best places to work.

Receiving their awards before a luncheon audience of nearly 500 at the Northern Kentucky Convention Center were the Castleton Group, Cincinnati Airport Marriott, Cincinnati Marriott North and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center.

…

Greater Cincinnati’s Best Places to Work program, open to any company based in the 15-county Greater Cincinnati region with 10 or more employees and companies not based here but which have at least 75 local employees. The program has been conducted by the Courier each year since 2003.

I might need to tap into my network to see if I know anyone who works at these companies.

Tech Thursday Wrap Up

I went to Buffalo Wild Wings this evening (Thursday – haven’t gone to bed yet) for the Tech Thursday event put on by the Greater Dayton IT Alliance. The restaurant had recently installed a wireless networking system (I don’t know the tech term for it.), and we all wanted to see what it was like.

I was impressed. There were approximately 20 laptops connected, and the speed was 1 MB per second! I showed one of the guys my fotolog as a test of a page with some pictures. It downloaded in a fraction of a second. Pretty cool stuff.

I also met some other folks who are looking for work. One guy pointed me to LinksToJobs.com: the single job posting source for Cincinnati, Dayton, and Columbus, Ohio! I’ve added it to the link roll, where it should be aptly put.

Actually, I headed over to the bar and picked up an NTN game player. The guy who sat down next to me was an unemployed CFO – Chief Financial Officer. I suppose there’s not a big demand for folks fitting that job description in the Dayton area, huh?

I received this letter from the director of the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services a few weeks ago. It states as follows:

Dear Customer:

In an effort to serve customers in a more efficient manner, the Ohio Department of Job and Family Services (ODJFS) is streamlining unemployment compensation claims processing, as well as changing employment service delivery methods.

Effective Friday, May 2, 2003, at 5 P.M. the ODJFS office located at 1111 Edwin C. Moses Blvd. in Dayton will become the Dayton Processing Center. Please note that your unemployment compensation file will not be relocated as a result of this change, [sic] however, the ability to register in person for unemployment compensation will no longer be available.

To file a new or bi-weekly claim for benefits, inquire about the status of an existing claim, or obtain information about a previous claim, please call 1-877-OHIO-JOB (644-6562). This toll free telephone number can also be used to restart unemployment compensation benefits after a period of not claiming benefits. In order to access some options within the telephone system, a personal identification number (PIN) is required. If you have not received a letter providing you with an 8-digit PIN, or it you need additional information, please call 1-888-582-0133.

ODJFS has joined forces with other employment and training partners in your area to ensure that in-person assistance is provided to those seeking employment opportunities, such as job referrals, training, and veteran’s services at The Job Center located at 1111 Edwin C. Moses Blvd., Dayton, Ohio 45401-1822. Please note that specific information related to umemployment compensation claims will not be provided by ODJFS staff in this location.

We look forward to working with you in the future.

Sincerely,

Thomas J. Hayes Director

Ohio Job Prospector

Job Prospector is a research site, not a job posting site. The career information it provides is meant to provide users with an “Inside Look” at employers that is not available to most job seekers. Since they list career profiles and not job postings, the manner in which you respond to these employers is very important.

If sending a resume, please be sure to explain that you researched the particular employer and are inquiring about potential career opportunities based on that research. This will help the employer understand why you have sent them your resume. It will also help to emphasize your initiative and give you the best chance for success!

Update: I figured out that this site is not free, but you can have access to it at a number of public institutions (libraries, universities, and the Montgomery County Job Center). These organization have their own password, so you will have to use one of their computers that has already been logged into the Job Prospector. So, go there and use it!

Ohio Libraries Get Database Access from the Dayton Business Journal

The state of Ohio is spending $2.5 million to give all state residents access to 22 computer databases from EBSCO Publishing, indexing articles from more than 6,000 sources.

The collection debuted Monday.

The collection includes more than 3,000 journals, 1,900 periodicals and 240 other news sources. About 2,600 peer-reviewed journals, suitable for advanced research, are included.

It will be available at all of Ohio’s schools, colleges and public libraries — and library cardholders will be able to access it over the Internet.
