Rules and Policies Restricting Nepotism in Government

Rules and Policies Restricting Nepotism in GovernmentRules and Policies Restricting Nepotism in GovernmentNepotism is something of a buzzword, and its generally seen in a negative light, particularly in government. Merriam-Webster defines the term as favoritism based on kinship. Most organizations avoid nepotism because its seen as unfair and it brings to mind more sinister concepts like cronyism and the spoils system. Many companies prohibit nepotism, but it remains rampant in business, sports, and entertainment. Donald Trumps children are executive vice presidents of his companies, and, as President, his daughter, Ivanka Trump, is his senior advisor. National Football League owners Jerry Jones and Robert Kraft also placed their children in executive positions with their respective franchises. The children of Hollywood producers and A-list actors are often cast in roles based on their family connections. Countless laws and policies prohibit nepotism under particular circumstances in the public sector. The prohibitions most often deal in the areas of human resources and procurement. These are hot-button areas because of the money involved in hiring personnel and awarding government contracts. Nepotism Is Not Simply Working Together The key word in Merriam-Websters definition is favoritism. Its certainly not uncommon for family members to work for the same company, and in and of itself, this doesnt have to be a negative thing. The US Census found in 2015 that nearly one in four American men age 30 or older has, at some point, simultaneously worked at the same business with their fathers if their fathers were active in their lives during their teen years. The statistic drops to 13 percent for women. The numbers are significantly higher in Canada. Ultimately, its the terms of the workplace relationship that set the tone for charges of nepotism. Common Nepotism Rules Nepotism can be somewhat difficult to avoid in small local governments given the small app licant pool and the likelihood that there are few other employers nearby. In medium-sized and large governments, nepotism policies tend to be nuanced around reporting structures. Family members might not be prohibited from working within the organization, but there may be prohibitions on a few actions, such as hiring a family member or serving on an interview panel where a family member is an applicant.Directly supervising a family member is typically against the rules, as is working in the same line of supervision as a family member Nepotism rules often require that job applicants and profil contractors disclose their relationships with any employees up front. Family members of elected officials, appointed officials, and chief government executives are often prohibited from working within the organizations their family members lead. This happens because those individuals are at the top of the organizationso all employees fall in their line of supervision. Additionally, the mere app earance of impropriety among those in high levels of authority can cost politicians elections. Nepotism in U.S. History Approximately 40 of President Ulysses S. Grants family members and family connections benefited from his presidency. In the Encyclopedia of White-Collar and Corporate Crime, Lawrence Salinger cites instances of Grant and Mrs. Grants family members being appointed to public office. Additionally, Robert F. Kennedy served as United States Attorney General under his brother President John F. Kennedy.

Phone Interview Questions To Find Qualified Candidates

Phone Interview Questions To Find Qualified Candidates Phone Interview Questions To Find Qualified Candidates Phone Interview Questions To Find Qualified Candidates DeZube As a business owner or manager, time is your most precious resource. Preserve it by using phone interview questionsto discover the job candidates who are most deserving of a face-to-face interview. Just how much time can you save using phone interviews? Suppose you have five candidates who seem right for the job. A 15-minute telephone interview with each candidate instead of a one-hour interview could save you 3+ hours. Schedule all your interviewsfor the same day, if possible, recommends Peggy McKee, CEO of Career Confidential in Gunter, Texas, and author of How to Ace Your Phone Interview. Having conversations close to each other helps you remember things you liked and didnt like about the answers you hear from candidates. Engage Candidates in a Conversation The efficiency of phone interviews will enable you to narrow down your candidate pool more quickly. But dont overlook the opportunity to create a connection with every candidate you speak with. When you first reach out to a candidate, your goal should be to build a rapport with them before asking technical or in-depth questions about their experience, says Amanda Read, recruiter with Talent FusionTM by . Keep in mind that the onboarding process starts with your first conversation with the candidate. Just as you are assessing their job skillsduring this initial chat, keep in mind that they are also assessing your organization. Focusing your Phone Interview Questions Once youve established some rapport with the interviewee, focus your questions on the positions most critical skills and knowledge. There are certain things that are must-haves for you to make any hiring decision, says McKee. Ask phone interview questions about those deal-breakers: a bachelors degree, salary expectation, four years experience selling in a B2B environment or a willingness to travel two days each week. Once youve gotten answers to those initial skills screening questions, gracefully end the phone interview with candidates who dont meet your requirements. A candidate that does now qualify may do so in the future, says Read. She also recommends asking all candidates if they know someone else they can refer to you. For candidates who answered the skills-based questions satisfactorily, you can move on to the behavioral-based interview questions that delve deeper into the way the job seeker has used each critical skill in past positions. Knowing the typical problems presented by each of the jobs deliverables, youll ask candidates how they do their work to anticipate and prevent those problems from arriving and how they solve them when they cannot be prevented, saysMartin Yate, author ofthe New York Times best seller, Knock em Dead Hiring the Best: Proven Tactics for Successful Employee Selection . Phone Interview Strategies Many of the strategies you employ in in-person interviews also work well in phone interviews. For example, use strategic pauses, as you would when interviewing face-to-face, recommendsinterview expert Doug Hardy. Say, Tell me more about that, and be silent. The candidate will feel an urge to fill that silence, and what they say at that point is often unguarded, candid and revealing. Hardy recommends goingbeyond your list of phone interview questions if you need to. When asking screening questions, we all tend to stop listening, and we dont pick up on clues that might otherwise be revealing. By staying focused, adds Hardy, youre likely to cull more from your phone interviews. I like to stand up and smile during phone interviews, he says. The physical change from sitting makes me more alert and authoritative, and that comes through in my voice. If you do stand, Hardy offers one note of caution: Dont become distracted by objects or people you typically dont see when sitting. If you start dusting the top of your monitor, youre not interviewing, youre multitasking, he says. McKee suggests you also: Have your thoughts organized and ready to go. Call the applicant on time. Do the interview in a quiet space. Use a headset instead of speakerphone. Dont use your cellphone unless you want to give up that personal number. Use your switchboard at work. Be ready to record answers in an open Word document. Ask job candidates if they have questions about the job or your firm. Call those youre not bringing back, or have your assistant do it. Close out the phone interview by letting the job seeker know what they can expect. For example, you could say: Thank you for your time, I really appreciate it. I have other interviews to conduct. In three days, Im going to make a decision about who to bring in for an on-site interview. Once youre comfortable with the phone interview process, consider handing off these duties to your managers who need to learn hiring skills. Phone interviews can be a great first step to develop your staffs interviewing abilities.

How to Prepare for a Job Interview an Essential Checklist

How to Prepare for a Job Interview an Essential Checklist How to Prepare for a Job Interview an Essential Checklist Job interviews are the equivalent of first dates. They are extremely stressful and can sometimes make you question your abilities and self-worth. The good news is that, just as with a regular date, there are plenty of tips and advice that can help you make a good impression. Knowing how to prepare for a job interview, can take away some of the stress and make you feel more confident about your chances. Here’s an essential checklist to keep in mind when preparing for an interview. Research Be well informed and not only will you have better answers to the questions the recruiter might ask, but you’ll also determine if the job actually suits you. Read the job description carefully to get a clear understanding of the company, their expectations, their culture, and anything you might find relevant. Does this job seem right for you? Can this job help you advance your career? Is the company’s culture congruent with your professional aim and your personality? What can you bring to this job and what can it bring to you? List Out all the Skills, Abilities and Personal Objectives Now, get deeper into what your best assets are and what you want to develop. Being clear on these and being able to name them is important. Once you understand what the job is all about, you need to focus on yourself. Make a list of your skills and then compare these with how well they match the job requirements. Prioritize what feels most relevant. You will have to play up your best assets. Practice Once you’ve finished your research, it’s time for practice. Knowing your best assets might not mean a thing if you cannot express them appropriately. Be ready to answer any question by reviewing all the common interview questions we recommend simply googling “common interview questions” and checking out a few articles. Many interviews start out with you going through your background. This may seem repetitive since the hiring manager likely has your resume in front of them, but this is typically a good way for the interviewer to get the conversation going. You will then likely go through a series of questions that relate to both you and the position. Some of these questions will be very general and could apply to many different types of positions and some might be more job specific. If you are asked any negative questions, such as talking about a mistake you’ve made professionally or being asked about any flaws you have, it is best to own up to these things and talk about h ow you’re working on them or what you’ve learned from your experiences never place the blame on someone else. Be sure to research the company and the types of interviews they do. Some companies may utilize a presentation interview or another format that isn’t as common you will typically be told if you’re needing to prepare something or if the interview will be out of the ordinary, but it’s best to double check so you’re not surprised. Learn the STAR Technique You want your answers to be sharp and relevant during the interview. To ensure you’re not getting sidetracked, use the S.T.A.R. technique to provide your responses. Present the Situation or Task, explain the Action you took and then present the Results you achieved. You can even elaborate here by concluding with what you’ve learned from the experience. For example, a common interview question is, “Tell me about a time you made a mistake.” In this example you will ideally use the S.T.A.R. technique to respond and then conclude with what you’ve learned from this mistake showing that you’re not likely to make the same mistake again. Arrive Early Being late to a job interview can simply take you off the list in a blink of an eye. The interviewer will dismiss you quickly, as you have just shown that you are disrespectful, disorganized, flaky or unable to follow through with commitments. To avoid being late because of an unexpected traffic jam, plan your day carefully. Allocate a generous amount of time for getting dressed up and commuting to the meeting place. Come Prepared Bring some interview essentials with you. These include a pen and a notebook, a couple of copies of your resume ideally placed in a nice portfolio/folder of some sort, and any supporting documentation: reference lists, brag sheets, cover letter, etc. Be sure to write down some questions that you’ll ask at the end of the interview. Some interviewers will automatically eliminate candidates who don’t have any questions at the end. You’ll want these questions to pertain to the position and the company specifically as much as possible. Finally, dress presentably if you know the office environment is casual you’ll still want to dress up a bit for the interview, for example, wearing khakis and a button-down/blazer. If the environment is business casual or business professional you’ll likely want to wear a suit. It is always better to be a bit overdressed than to be underdressed! Be Confident, Listen and Ask Questions Making eye contact and giving your full attention to the recruiter is essential. It will make you look trustworthy, intelligent and motivated. You might not give body language much credit, but it can reveal just as much as the answers you give. You might have a lot of experience and know everything there is to know about the company. But, if you are too timid or too outgoing, for instance, the recruiter might not consider you a good match.  So be confident yet considerate; listen and ask questions. As mentioned above, write down what you’ve prepared, you want to bring along a list of relevant questions to ask during the interview. You wouldn’t want that research about the company to be in vain. Job interviews are no piece of cake. They can be extremely stressful, especially if you have no interviewing experience, or simply haven’t interviewed in a long time. Follow these tips to ensure you land the job of your dreams.

Finding Free or Low-Cost Job Search Help

Finding Free or Low-Cost Job Search Help Finding Free or Low-Cost Job Search Help When your job search isnt going as well as you expected, it can make good sense to get help with it. A professional  career counselor or coach  can help you expedite your job search and focus on the best resources to help you get hired fast. But, if money is an issue, you can also find free or low-cost job search help.

Computers and Wi-FiWhen you dont have access to a computer or wi-fi, most libraries have computers available for patrons to use. You may be able to reserve time to use the computer or they may be available on a first-come, first served basis.

Find More Free Job Search Help Here are some other ideas that are helpful to all job seekers, whether theyve graduated from college or not. Check with your local Chamber of Commerce  to ask about career/job fairs that may be planned for the near future. Tap resources and services available through your state Department of Labor  office. You will find both online resources as well as in-person options. Consider Hiring a Career Counselor Finally, if you want actual career counseling (rather than just job search advice and resources) and live at too great a distance to make the often-mandatory in-person sessions with career counselors from your alma mater(s) feasible, you may want to engage the services of a  private career counselor in your local area.

Dress Code for Customer Interaction and at Trade Shows

Dress Code for Customer Interaction and at Trade Shows Dress Code for Customer Interaction and at Trade Shows Even if you work in a casual dress code environment or a business casual work environment, the rules may change when you hit the road for your company with a business mission. Whether you are exhibiting at a trade show, attending a conference or training session, or visiting a customer, the dress code in effect at your office may change for travel and meeting customers. Especially if your company allows employees to dress casually for work, this is usually a way too casual look to take on the road. Minimally, business casual is the norm in business attire for employees who work at trade shows, exhibit at conferences, and visit customers at their location. (This has changed in recent years from the former norm of formal attire. Do check with the conference planners, the trade show exhibition staff, or other people in charge of events. Youll want your employees to fit in with the crowd.) Another approach to dressing business casual at events is to ask each member of the exhibiting team to wear the same company logoed shirt and the same color of pants or slacks. This has the advantage of helping customers know immediately who is available to help them and presents a professional image and appearance to the crowd. Take a look at this sample dress code for guidance about how employees should dress for business travel and customer interaction. Dress Code for Travel, Client Interaction, and Trade Shows While the office setting can be casual because customers dont visit, traveling to see customers, exhibiting at or attending trade shows, and representing the company in the business community, requires different decisions about attire. Business casual dress is the minimum standard that must be observed when you are representing the company or interacting with customers or potential customers. Before visiting a customer or potential customer ascertain the accepted dress code in their organization and match it in your attire. While your business workplace may dress casually or in business casual clothing, workplaces differ across the country and by industry. For example, the norm in financial services, banking, law firms, and management consulting is likely business formal. You will minimally want to wear a sports coat, a nice dress or a suit if you are working in these fields. This is especially important when you are traveling globally representing the company, as customs and dress in other countries may differ from those observed in the United States. Dressing the same way as the customer or client you visit helps create the relationship you want to foster with the client to meet your business needs. Additionally, some community events, when you are representing the company, might require formal dress. These events might include the Chamber of Commerce and other civic or business development meetings, luncheons, and dinners. Take your cue from other employees who have attended and be observant at the event. Certainly, if you are a speaker at a business event, consider wearing formal dress. Finally, on the occasions when a customer or a business partner does visit the office, the employee groups with whom the visitor is interacting, should adhere to business casual standards. Conclusion No dress code can cover all contingencies so employees must exert a certain amount of judgment in their choice of clothing to wear when traveling and visiting customers. If you experience uncertainty about acceptable attire for work, please ask your supervisor or your Human Resources staff. Your contacts at the client are another source for business attire information. If clothing fails to meet these standards, as determined by the employees supervisor and Human Resources staff, the employee will be asked not to wear the inappropriate item to a trade show or customer location again. On a second offense, you may want to ask the employee to leave the event. If the problem persists, you need to employ disciplinary action. This should start with the employee receiving a verbal warning for the first offense. All other policies about personal time use will apply. Progressive disciplinary action will be applied, up to and including employment termination, if the dress code violations continue after the employee has been counseled. Finally, if the employees core job requires that he or she visit with customers and attend and interact at trade shows, employment termination may become your only option. You dont want to employ an individual who does not represent your company in the way you want your company represented. Your image must matter to you - it does to your customers.

Employment Documents Needed to Start a New Job

Employment Documents Needed to Start a New Job Employment Documents Needed to Start a New Job When conducting a job search, it is important to be aware of the important documents needed to start a new job. Having all the employment forms that companies may require will allow you to be prepared for an interview, to be hired, and ready to start your new job. You’ll want this whole process to go as smoothly as possible, and the last thing you want is a glitch such as missing documentation that could stall the  hiring process. The employment forms you may need include job applications, W-2 forms, an I-9 form, and a W-4 form. Some forms are available from the companies you’re applying to, some you may already have, and others are available online or need to be ordered. If you dont have the original documentation that you’ll need before an employer can put you on the payroll, get your copies now. That way youll be ready to start work immediately once you get a job offer. Employment Forms You May Need The following documents may be required for your future employment. Learn more about each one and how you can get your forms right away. Make copies and have them ready for each job opportunity you wish to pursue. Job Application Forms Many employers require prospective candidates to fill out job applications, so they have documentation of relevant experience and education. This applies to all levels of employment from entry-level jobs to high-level professional positions. Applicants will need to provide details and dates of past employment and education, as well as of credentials and certifications. Job application forms come from the companies themselves. In some cases, you’ll need to go directly to the company, but many companies offer their job application forms online or allow you to complete the application online. The application form may be all you need to apply, but at some point in the hiring process, you may be required to provide college transcripts or other proof of your degree. So, thinking ahead, it’s a good idea to have copies of those documents on hand, as well. Previous W-2 Forms Prospective employers may ask for copies of your W-2 forms to verify your previous compensation prior to making a job offer. This may present you with an uncomfortable situation and it may not always be in your best interest to comply or may not be permitted by law. Find out if an employer can ask you for your W-2, whether it makes sense to comply, and how to obtain copies of your W-2 forms if you dont have them. W-4 Forms The W-4 form is completed by an employee so the employer can withhold the correct amount of federal income tax from your pay. When you are hired for a new job, you will be required to complete a W-4 form to let your employer know how much tax to withhold. The employer may provide you with a W-4 or you can get one online and have it ready to go. I-9 Forms When you’re hired for a new job, you’ll be required to prove that you’re legally entitled to work in the United States. You’ll need to complete an Employment Eligibility Verification form (I-9 Form) and the employer will keep the form on file. Please note that you’ll also need to produce original documentation that verifies your eligibility to work. You’ll need a photo ID such as a passport, drivers license, or state ID, as well as a document proving you are in the U.S. legally, such as an original or notarized birth certificate and/or social security card. What Is E-Verify? The E-verify system allows employers to document and confirm the eligibility of employees to work in the United States by comparing the I-9 (Employment Eligibility Form) information supplied by all workers to Social Security Administration, Homeland Security, and Department of State records. The employer will handle this once you’ve presented the proper documentation. How to Replace Lost Documents Now that you know what documents you need, you might find that one or more are missing. Here’s the info you’ll need to replace any missing documents: Replace a lost passport by contacting the National Passport Information Center.To replace a Social Security card, you’ll need to fill out an application online or provide certain documentation at your local Social Security office.You can order copies of past W-2 forms from the IRS or previous employers.If you can’t find your drivers license, you’ll need to check with your state Department of Motor Vehicles for instructions on how to apply for a replacement license.If you don’t have your college transcripts, you can request copies of your transcript from the Registrars Office at your college or university. This can be done in person, by phone, or online.
