I had the opportunity to attend the Handshake to Hire information and mentoring session offered by School of Public Affairs and ICMA Student Chapter, on Tuesday April 28, 2015 at 3:00 p.m.
They had a panel of government HR Professionals coaching and mentoring us on how to interview better, review your resume and what not to do during your interview.
The agencies that were there were: Arizona City County Management Association, City of Mesa, City of Phoenix, City of Surprise, Fountain Hills City Council, Greater Phoenix Economic Council (GPEC), Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG), Maricopa County, State Of Arizona - Department of Administration, Town of Gilbert, U. S. Department of Commerce – US Commercial Service in Arizona, International Trade Administration, Valley of the Sun United Way, AND MORE.
I had the opportunity to talk one on one with a coupe of managers and they had great insight on how I could sell myself and what to do prior to the interview.
It was a information pack session that explained the hiring process of each agency and how to make your resume stand out. One of the suggestions that had was to change your resume to better tailor the needs of the job, to write an updated cover letter and to write a thank you letter as a follow up.
