I have a job interview tomorrow for a Receptionist/Concierge position in an Assisted Living Senior Living Retirement, and it is going to be a group interview. In my pasts interviews they have always been 1 on 1.
Can any one let me know how it works and what questions might be asked? I have never done a group interview before and not sure what to expect. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

How to sell your abilities in a job interview?
November 6, 2009 by
Filed under Resume Tips
I have been having a hard time selling my abilities to job interviewers. My problem is this, I am from a culture where "tooting your own horn" is frowned upon. Hence, I don’t know what exactly how to sell myself or abilities. It is obvious in my resume I have the skills required for the job, plus I show a personable personality, but when I don’t get the call I am left in oblivion. I don’t know what others expect me to say or not during the interview. I usually research the company but many times I find that this does not tell me anything about the department I am interviewing for, the particular job, or the culture of the company. I talk about my abilities and past experience, plus I answer all their questions. How do you sell yourself in job interviews?

Are resume writing services worth the $$$? How do you know which ones are actually good companies?

I’m trying to reformat my resume in hopes to find a different job. The one I have right now sort of just looks like a laundry list of everything I’ve done. I’m wondering if it’s worth to invest money into a resume writing service, and if so, which one to choose. There’s so many out there on the internet and they talk about how some companies use the same templates over and over while others custom write. They also differ between using online questionaires and actual phone interviews to obtain information about you. In the end, is it just better to write it myself? I’m not confident I could get it to come out as well as a professional.

Five Quick Steps to Becoming a Bartender

While it may seem too easy, the key to finding a bartender job is to focus your search and redouble your efforts. Getting a bartending job has often been shrouded in mystery but it really can be achieved in just 5 easy steps. Follow this outline and you will get a bartending job in no time.
You should focus your job search to places where you would hang out even if you didn’t work there. This will insure that your personality is a match to the establishment and provide some good motivation during your search. Working in a place where you would like to hang out is a great thing and will make you a better bartender.
You will need to write resume for your bartending job search. And not just any resume. The resume should be written exclusively for your bartending job search. Irrelevant details like a mastery of powerpoint presentation will do you no good here. Include only skills that a relevant to bartending. Skills like customer service, money management, conflict resolution and sales are essential to being a good bartender. A good bartending resume will include all of these skills even if you weren’t bartending when you got them.
You should always write a cover letter to go with your resume, even for just a bartending job. Many candidates will not go this extra mile so you separate yourself from the crowd simply by having a cover letter. This letter should be good of course, but the mere act of having one will gain you recognition. A good cover letter should show the reader how you handled a tough situation or how you grew at one of your previous jobs. Be as specific as possible, tell a story if you want to. Its alright to put your personality on display a little bit in your cover letter. Have fun with it and tell a good story. An engaged reader is a hiring reader.
A laborious but completely necessary step is pounding the pavement. You will need to contact the managers of the places on your target list and probably show up at these places in order to do so. Restaurant and bar managers are very busy people. Employees, customers and vendors are all battling for their time. It would be wise to show up during the bar’s slow hours. For a typical restaurant or bar this would be between 2pm and 5pm. The afternoons are usually a slow time where a manager will be able to speak to you.
If you are going to get a bartending job you are going to need to master a bartending job interview. Job interviews are enough to make anyone’s palms a little sweaty and a bartending job interview is no different. You have to fight through that nervousness and put your personality on display. Service jobs are about having a great attitude and personable personality, everything can be taught. Without going out on the limb a little bit you will not get a bartending job.
I hope these tips have illuminated the bartending job search process for you. It really isn’t nearly as difficult or mysterious as bartenders make it out to be. If you develop a plan, show initiative and persistence, and maintain a positive attitude you will easily get a bartending job. I wish you luck o your search. Happy Hunting.
