Nashville Employment Guide Job Fair 2010

>> Friday, November 19, 2010

Nashville Employment Guide had their last Job Fair of the year November 10th in Smyrna TN. Ironically, their job fair was the same day as the Country Music Awards, but they did an admiral job bringing in hundreds of job seekers.  Job seekers had the opportunity to meet with hiring companies. Job fairs like this one can be very competitive, so if you were a part of this job fair or another job fair this year, here are some tips of what to do after a job fair interview that may put you above the rest:

1. Send thank you letters to the recruiters
2. Follow up weekly
3. Keep your eyes open for jobs in your field on online job boards
4. Be open to transfer your skills to other industries
5. Take a part time job if it is offered because it may lead to a full time job
6. Try seasonal hiring
7. Stay Positive

Be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook for more career advice, job postings, and news about our job fairs in 2011.

Veteran's Transition Guide

>> Friday, August 13, 2010


We here at the Memphis and Nashville Employment Guide are catering to veterans in Tennessee with the Veterans Transition Guide. This is a resource for returning military veterans, who need help finding civilian employment, after service in their respective branches. Our goal is to help identify employers that value the unique skill sets that you have learned while serving in the military.  The leadership skills, strategic planning and other abilities that you have acquired give you an advantage in the job hunt. It is our goal to help you highlight those particular attributes for employers to see.

The Veterans Transition Guide outlines various options that you have when it comes to finding the best path to the career that you want after your service in the military. For example, there are a lot of technical schools that can be utilized to help you make the skills that you learned in the military useful within the civilian job market. The schools that we list often comply with military education benefits, so it is easier for you to take advantage of the programs that they offer. We also offer information to make your transition to civilian life an easier one. If you’re a veteran that needs assistance finding employment, you can find our publications at local military instillations, all Veterans’ Affairs (VA) hospitals, workforce offices, National Guard and Reserve Centers VFW and other veteran centers.

How Much Time and Money Should You Spend Training a Staff that is Probably About to Walk Out the Door?

>> Wednesday, June 23, 2010

Today we have a guest post by Tim Smith that is geared towards recruiters and how they manage and handle turnover at their organization. For more on Tim, please visit his site, What Do You Want From Them. 

photo by OPUS Hotel

It’s a dilemma the industry has been grappling with since quick-service restaurants spread around the world and the turnover rate broke the 200% barrier, and no one has found the right answer yet. Will additional training really keep staff and managers from jumping ship? Are employees leaving in droves because of the fact that management is so poor? If you train managers too well, won’t they inevitably strike out on their own? The chicken and the egg strikes again.

But lately, companies like Wendy’s and Burger King have taken the plunge and instituted comprehensive training programs for their restaurant managers and staff. No numbers were available in Burger King’s case, but Wendy’s saw their crew turnover rate fall to an unheard of 141% in 2002. Their assistant manager turnover rate also fell by 3%, from 26% to 23%, and their general manager rate fell from 17% to 13%. They attributed these impressive statistics to their People Excellence program, a training program that rewarded fast and accurate service.

Unfortunately, statistics from recent years are hard to come by, but a case can be made that programs like People Excellence pay for themselves in short order with increased productivity and a corresponding increase in sales. (Sales for the quarter rose 2.5%.) That may be an erroneous correlation, but it’s well founded that keeping the turnover rate down lowers training costs in the long run and keeps employees happy, which in turn leads to increased customer satisfaction and retention.

Another debate raging in the industry concerns the reasons restaurant staff leave a given location. How much does the manager have to do with it? Again, evidence is anecdotal, but the general consensus seems to be that bad management is a leading cause of employee departures. This is especially true in the restaurant industry, where interaction with management is relatively constant, whereas in the computer software industry, an employee might go a week without any meaningful contact with their manager.

This highlights the need for quick-service restaurants to bite the bullet and spend the money up front for leadership training for their management staff. There’s ample evidence to indicate that employees will stay with a job, even if it pays less than they believe they deserve, if they get along particularly well with the management. Leadership helps form the bonds that turn a staff of employees into a well-oiled machine.

Some restaurants have taken this approach to extremes, jumping on the team metaphor as if it were a lifeline, but a highly scripted team environment can suffocate both the management and the staff and prevent the managers from using their natural leadership abilities.

Quick service restaurant training is a constantly evolving process that eludes HR departments even today. But with the success of Burger King and Wendy’s team-building and productivity enhancing programs, perhaps more restaurants will finally decide that a little money spent up front is worth the potentially greater results down the road.

Consistency When Looking For A Job

>> Thursday, June 10, 2010

photo by canonsnapper

When looking for a job you typically reach out to many outlets, job boards, social media profiles and create resumes, cover letters, portfolios and many other types of files and documents.

One thing that employers are looking for in consistency among these different interaction points. Does you LinkedIn profile show the same story as your cover letter and resume? Does your portfolio contain the same or similar stats and case studies as your application or your interview.

Employers have a good grasp of navigating online profiles as a way to take a quick look into your life and work habits beyond that sheet of white paper or Microsoft Word document.

In a recent Forbes.com article on The Five Thing Job Recruiters Want From You Now, author Jerome Young states that:

Your résumé, cover letter, website, LinkedIn profile and interview remarks should all promote a consistent message. If you change the message in one of those places, update the others. An inconsistent message clouds the credibility of your accomplishments.

This week when you are getting ready to send out your resume to companies and employers that are advertising with the Nashville Employment Guide, be sure that you trace back your steps and you have a consistent message that recruiters can see as a positive influence on your career trajectory.

Happy hunting Tennessee!

Nurse Appreciation week-$25 Starbucks Gift Card

>> Thursday, May 6, 2010


Photo by: Omar_MK

At a time when customer service is being applauded with online platforms like Twitter, Yelp or Facebook, the appreciation we show towards people who do great work that impacts our lives should go back to square one, shouldn't it?

HealthCareerWeb.com is trying to bring it back to where appreciation matters. With health and family on the top of the minds of many Americans these days, we need to show gratitude to those that keep us healthy and balanced. This created the initiative for "We Appreciate Nurses A Latte," a new Facebook campaign on HCW.
The campaign corresponds with National Nurses Week, which goes down May 6th through 12th. The week recognizes the 3.1 million nurses across America that work in our hospitals, emergency rooms, schools, nursing homes and all the other duties and responsibilities that come with making sure America stays healthy.

To celebrate, HealthCareerWeb.com wants to know why you chose to enter the nursing profession. To show our appreciation, we will choose one nurse who shares their story everyday on May 6th, 7th, 10th, 11th and 12th, to enjoy a latte on us (in the form of a $25 Starbucks gift card)!
All you need to do is head on over to the HCW Facebook page, "like" the page and give us a few words on why you made the decision to join the fastest growing career field in the country.
Maybe it was a relative that was saved by a nurse when you were young, maybe a family member is in the healthcare field, or maybe you just want to feel like your job is making a difference in the lives of others.

No matter the reason - We Want To Hear From You!

If you know a nurse, send them over! Show them your appreciation and maybe they'll get a latte (or 2 or 3) out of the experience. Some may even become re-engaged after reading the stories of others.
See you on Facebook. I can't wait to read the stories that inspired you.

HIRE ACT 2010

>> Thursday, April 22, 2010

This year, 2010, is the year of BIG change, don't you think? Honestly, there has been much change this year (which I am not going to list because that would take forever.)

However, I have found that networking is one of the best availibilites that internet has to offer. After all, technology at its best sometimes...can take hours. But while networking I found this useful information that most, I don't think, are not aware. Information is mainly for companies and recruiters, provided below. This information would provided from: http://2010hireact.com/

The 2010 HIRE Act has many dimensions, but it contains two critically import incentives for businesses to hire unemployed workers:

1.Companies are exempt from paying their 6.2% portion of withholding taxes in 2010 for new employees hired between February 3, 2010 and Jan 1, 2011.
2.Companies can receive up to a $1,000 tax credit for keeping the new employees they hire in 2010 on the books for at least a year.
A few key details:

•Job seekers can qualify for HIRE Act benefits if they have worked up to, but not exceeding, 40 hours during the 60 day period proceeding their hire date.
•For businesses to receive the $1,000 tax credit, the wages they pay a covered employee the second six months of their tenure must be at least 80% of the wages paid during the first six months of their employment.
•Business owners can not take advantage of these benefits to hire relatives. Companies can not fire a current employee and hire a new employee covered by the HIRE Act to take the existing position, unless the original employee quit or was fired for cause.
This website is a resource for job seekers and business owners. Please use and share any of the content you find here to help Americans get back to work.

Please leave a comment about how the 2010 HIRE Act benefited you!

Nashville Job Fair this Wednesday, April 14th

>> Monday, April 12, 2010

Photo by: DVIDSHUB

For those that are looking for a job and tired of searching...you need to be at the Smyrna Town Centre, Wednesday, April 14th from 10am-3pm. This event is open to ALL AGES!

Times are tough right now and we know that you are tired of attending job fairs that don't have companies that are looking to fill positions. All you see are schools that are looking to recruit students? Well, you don't have to worry about walking into one of the Employment Guide job fairs and find no one hiring. The reason? We ask that they, recruiter/employers, actually have job openings, even for schools. What does all of this mean for you? Well, there are jobs. It means that you should NOT just walk in to the job fair and walk out without talking to ALL of the employers. That is a major tip when you are attending a job fair. If you are willing to stand in line early in the morning along with other people in hope of finding a job that suits you, why are you NOT willing to spend a little bit more time to actually speak to the employers that are present?

I say this, because I understand the frustration that you, a jobseeker, are going through; however, it does not give you a reason to be rude to the employers/recruiters that are present. If it was not for them there would not be any job fairs or would you get the chance to speak with a recruiter face to face. There are companies that have on-site interviews. Your attitude is a little part of you that makes a BIG difference. Keep that in mind. We all get frustrated from time to time and expect something...something out of nothing even. Don't be so negative, instead think positive.

Also, appreciate those that are at the event. Have you ever about how much time and effort they put into preparing for a job fair? It takes an incredible amount of time. The recruiters/employers that attend the event are present for your benefit. By all means do not be rude and neglect them...you never know, that certain person could end up being your next boss.

Jobseekers of all ages are welcome.
ALL AGES ARE WELCOME!

Update for the Memphis March 24th Job Fair at the Beautiful Botanic Garden

>> Monday, March 29, 2010


It was a beautiful Wednesday out at the Memphis Botanic Garden where the birds were singing, flowers blooming, and the sun was shining. It was definitely, a better day for a career fair than it was two days prior, compared to the Atlanta Fox Theatre where it was raining and snowing. Despite the weather conditions that were present for Atlanta, there were still some 3000 job seekers present. Memphis had a little bit less, but a much happier crowd. With the weather in agreement we had roughly 2000-2300 job seekers.


In partnership with AARP and WiserWorker.com the Memphis event had many jobseekers that were satisfied with the event. AARP offered help to those that wanted help with their resume, needed suggestions, and/or tips…this was open to all ages. There were many jobseekers leaving with positive feedback. Several were surprised that we actually had companies with positions to fill-not just schools that were looking to recruit. The Census Bureau itself had over 10,000 positions that they were looking to fill, another company had 30 positions, and another company needed to fill two shifts. Needless to say there were positions that needed to be filled and those that did not find anything are looking forward to attending our next Memphis job fair event on July 21st at the AgriCenter to find what we have to offer.

The best part about attending job fairs is that you never know what you are going to find. The companies are there to find potential employees and you are looking for an employer, don’t be afraid to talk to them. Talk to the employers, ask questions, and find out what they have to offer and if you are interested hand the employer your resume. Talk to every employer/company present. You never know…it could be the company you end up working for!

Keep updated for the next job fair information.

Health Care: What is your take on it?

>> Wednesday, March 24, 2010

I am sure that almost everyone has heard something about the new Health Care Law. I want to know how you feel about it. What is your take on this Health Care? In a way we all knew that President Obama was going to make a change to the health care. It should not be a complete surprise, obviously, there are those that approve and agree with the new bill while there are others that oppose the bill completely. Everyone is subject to their opinion.

Before President Obama even took office he made it clear to the world that he was going to make some much needed changes (whether we need it or not). During his inauguration speech he made it crystal clear that he was going to take a step towards health care when he stated, “health care reform cannot wait, it must not wait, and it will not wait another year.” This statement was made last year, February of 2009. However, it may have taken over a year for legislation to approve; Obama stuck to his words and made a change. There was a preliminary version of the legislation/bill that passed on July 15 of 2009 by Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee (HELP). I could go on to list dates which lead up to this huge chaos that we are facing now. This just goes to say that, we should have known changes were going to occur in the Health Care field, we just didn’t know what day it would hit us or even acknowledge it. Now, the day has come and some people are reacting as if they have not been watching the news. I don’t watch the news but I read to keep updated. Once again, we are all open to our own opinion. Make sure you let me know what you think about this and how it “benefits” you.

There are two sides to every story and we must listen to decide for ourselves. It is not about the money. In the year 2014 the bill will take full affect and those that do not have insurance by that point and time will be fined. Fined? That is ridiculous. There are lawyers/attorneys that are against this and suing because of Constitutional rights. So, in November when it comes time for voting…you can then vote and make your voice heard. Maybe then you can make a change.

I won’t say what I think about the passing of this bill-I will try and keep an open mind, neutral as possible. I can assure there will be changes made in the bill…what bill/law hasn’t been altered?

Is the Housing Market Stabilizing?

>> Tuesday, March 16, 2010

Photo by: cindy47452

I don’t have to say much about the housing market because we all know how that has been looking for the past year, two years. There are families that have lived in the same house for years and years, raising their children and even their grandchildren. It doesn’t sound weird now does it? Of course not. A house is usually set on a 30 year mortgage, which can really take a lifetime to pay off, and there are some that even refinance. Times were thought to of been tough a few years back, but compared to the recession we are in currently, it is nothing. Compared to the market in 2009, there has actually been a decline in foreclosure filings, but still a 6 percent increase from a year earlier. It is weird to say that we are doing well and things are looking up, but while taking a look around us there are those that are struggling. Honestly, I believe we are all struggling in some sort of fashion.

The number of foreclosures and bankruptcy are still expected to rise, and there are those out there that would agree with me that this is only the peak for the housing market. With the workforce still struggling, the homeowners that had turned to Uncle Sam for help may be facing the same problem once again, falling behind on bills. Currently, the national unemployment rate is at 9.7 percent, by the end of the year, beginning of 2011, it is expected to be 9.6 percent. Not much a decrease, wouldn’t you say? There are companies that are still hiring, but a lot harder to obtain the position. The recruiter can wait until they run across the right candidate. With that being said, foreclosure will continue and maybe stable around 2011. Those that have the money and can afford a house, right now is the time to buy. It is a buyers’ market.

However, do not rush into buying a house if you do not have money put back. Don’t fall into others footsteps and you too have to file for foreclosure, it will ruin your credit.

Think about how the economy has affected your family and would you want to lose your home? Keep up the good work and don’t slack off at work, there are others that may do the job better than you.

Extra Money

>> Tuesday, March 9, 2010

 Photo by: Steve Wampler

Get that money, ditch the honey-do list! Wait…in this case you may want to do this. If it lands you more money, you want to do it right? Agreed. Well, I was surprised to find this article, Tennesseans due $19.8M in old tax refunds, when I was browsing along. The reason, read the title again, again, okay one more time-again. How often do you hear anything like that? Not often. What is going on? I have been talking to individuals and they have been told by their accountants it could take weeks before their return comes in, it’s bad news for anyone, because we need money.
The article doesn’t say much, as too much would give the IRS away. However, here is the information for you to get even more money, roughly…almost $600.00. Still that is extra money that you could use, right? So, why not become a part of the $1.3 billion of unclaimed money, from the government. Nothing has changed. The deadline like every year for filing your taxes is April 14/15, somewhere around there, if you haven’t done your taxes for the year yet, do it all at once. Gather all your tax information: interest income, mortgage, vehicle tags, bank information, student loans, etc. (for more information you can call 1-800-TAX-FORM or go online http://www.irs.gov/). The most important, the W-2, don’t forget that!
Keep in mind that if you owe money for the past years (2007, 2008, 2009), well, you are not entitled to any of the money. That makes sense. Isn’t that weird how we, the people, can’t owe IRS money or be late, because they’ll charge you but they can owe us? It doesn’t make sense. None the less, make sure you file your 2006 taxes, if you haven’t, and any of the money left over that is not claimed will be going to the Treasury. Don’t lose out on your money!

Social Media World Interference

>> Thursday, March 4, 2010

Have you ever thought about how much the internet "World" (Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Games, etc.) interferes with your life? Not many do, because it has become a part of our every day life, embedded in our minds even. Isn't it amazing how we get so consumed in media? Kind of like I am now. According to what I heard this morning on the radio, 20 percent of divorce factors have a reference back to Facebook. Wow! That is a huge percentage. Life now revolves around the internet or more tech savvy term, "social networking world." There are several out there in the world that uses the internet to reach out to people on the other side of the world; other countries. All in all, it is a way of keeping in contact with friends and families that you don't see or speak to all the time or an opportunity to make new friends. Now, this is where the divorce factors come into play. What is too much? Where do you draw the line and stop contacting people for the wrong reasons? Who are friends? Some may argue, what are the wrong reasons? Simple. Morals and standards. If you are questioning yourself then you're probably crossing your own lines. What I don't understand is, why would someone belittle himself/herself to such acts? You became married because you love that one certain person. Why mess up that connection? 
Media world has alot to blame for how we look at life, ourself, others, etc...everything is misconstrued. My point in the matter is, why do we let others (media-networking, news, radio, television, celebraties) control our life? Tell me what do you think about this? Give me your opinion about the social media world.

What's Going on in Tennessee?

>> Friday, February 12, 2010

Are you familiar with the name Phil Bredesen? Most people are, he is the Governor. There are some big changes going on by this man and he is not troubled by the state cuts to be taken out from Medicaid, nearly $400 Million, to be exact. People need Medicaid. Back in 2005, he eliminated health insurance for 200,000 people. The downfall for hospitals, occurring from cut backs, is that they will have to incur the debt...which in return means what? Fall back on the tax payers. I just don't understand how some people think. Health care is important, people need it.
