Find out what really happens with your employer of choice!
One of the greatest of pleasures I have with managing this blog is that I get to speak with a lot of fascinating people who are doing innovative things to help people looking for a job. Today I’d like to welcome Justin Babet to the Interview IQ microphone.
Justin is the Co-Founder of www.jobadvisor.com.au. If you’re looking for a job, this is a site where you can read online reviews about your potential new employer. If you want to help people find a job you can write a review about your past and current employer.
Without getting too high on my soap box, you should be using sites like these. Justin estimates that 25% of people who begin a role, will not be there in 12 months time, so finding the right job is partly about getting some honest insights into what the company is all about.
Justin and I spoke on a whole host of things around Job Advisor, here are a few highlights:
- How to use the site? Should you just trust glowing or negative reviews on the site?
- What you need to look for in a good employer? (It’s different from what you think)
- Are you asking too much from an employer when you are looking for a job?
- How to ask the questions you need to ask, to find out what really happens with an employer?
- How companies are using this feedback, for better and for worse.
Justin also talks through some exciting plans he has for Job Advisor.
