Ep 52. What Does HR Look for in a Job Application & Interview? Ft. Majella Hillsdon

Ever wonder what the heck the folks in HR are looking for before submitting your resume? How can school boards possibly sift through all those resumes and pick the right candidate? Oh and once you get an interview, now you need to prep for that gauntlet! 

On todays episode, I hope to peek behind the curtain and help with the job application process. Today I chat with  Majella Hillsdon, our Chief People Officer at Appleby College. Majella has been at Appleby for 17 years. 

In this episode we talk about:

1. Resume - What makes a strong resume? Do buzzwords matter? Does experience matter? 
2. Cover Letters - What are they? Are they a nice to have or need to have in an application?
3. Interviews - What do interviewers look for in an applicant? What are common questions? How can candidates be successful in these interviews?
4. Social Media - Is HR trolling our social media pages?!

Check us out! You're going to want to hear what she has to say!
