It’s imperative to have a clean driving record when applying for a job that requires field work.

Job offers may be rescinded if the DMV background report comes back with unpaid tickets, suspended driver’s licenses or DUI’s. Shockingly, some candidates claim they’re not aware of their tainted driving record.

Employers and their insurance companies are not willing to pay higher rates for “at-risk” employees. Make sure to take care of all DMV related issues PRIOR to applying for that ideal job!

Do not (under any circumstances) post inappropriate/incriminating content on your PUBLIC facebook page especially when you’re in the market for a new job.

Prospective employers WILL check your facebook page to find out more about you. Public facebook profiles containing inappropriate content may prevent you from getting that interview or job offer. We’ve seen it happen!


Keep your facebook profile and personal life private!

Don’t judge a company from the first interview. Sometimes, emergencies occur that cause chaos or tardiness of the hiring authority. Always give them a second chance just as you would like.

Not listing dates of employment on your #resume will only send up red flags.

Relocation needs a plan. Without a plan, it may be wishful thinking.

Your resume should not read like a book. Boring and no one will take time to read it.

If you decide to cancel a job interview, call ahead and give the hiring authority plenty of notice. If the location is nearby and you have a car problem, take a cab or get a ride. Don’t use the “car problem” as an excuse not to go…………it’s the oldest excuse in the book and you have an outdated manual.
