| OSU-Tulsa's career services coordinator offers advice ... - Tulsa World Posted: 04 Apr 2010 02:12 AM PDT  Related Story: Churches join in job hunt
In a pair of blue jeans and a simple black shirt, Holly Myers stepped into the midtown office of Dress for Success Tulsa as if she were a Cinderella looking for a fairy godmother to transform her from head to toe. But, of course, a resplendent ball gown and slippers just wouldn't do for the former glass-plant worker, who has been unemployed almost a year and a half. The married 45-year-old Broken Arrow woman wasn't looking to woo Prince Charming; rather, she needed to impress prospective employers at a job fair the very next day at the University of Phoenix, where Myers recently earned a bachelor's degree in management. So she turned to Dress for Success Tulsa, an affiliate of the national organization that, according to its Web site, "provides each woman with a business suit when she has a job interview. When she successfully lands the job, she returns to Dress for Success for up to one week's worth of business-appropriate separates." Dress for Success Tulsa offers its free services by referral-only from nonprofit organizations ranging from job-training programs to domestic violence agencies and homeless shelters. Myers was referred by a Dress for Success Tulsa representative at the Employment Resource Fair for women in early March. Although Ronda Adkisson doesn't carry a magic wand, the executive director of Dress for Success Tulsa had a plan to bibbidi-bobbidi-boo Myers right into a classy black-and-white ensemble. It came complete with a faux pearl necklace, black bag, blouse, panty hose and a pair of black pumps. Myers also received a small deodorant and a cosmetic starter kit."We're hoping to get this nice, clean, crisp look for her tomorrow," Adkisson said as she looked over a transformed Myers. Adkisson then sat with Myers to go over a list of interview tips: "Be on time smile and look people in the eye Be friendly Never talk on the telephone Don't chew gum Don't cross your legs; cross them at your ankles Go light on perfume Don't slump Send a thank-you note within 48 hours." It was all enough to make Henry Higgins, of "My Fair Lady," wish he'd simply sent Eliza Doolittle to Adkisson. But, really, Higgins didn't have to warn Doolittle to "not wear navel rings, toe rings, anything that dangles or makes noise." Little tips like that are what Myers hopes will land her a job — one she desperately needs. "Right now we live paycheck to paycheck with no money to spare," she said. "I have no health insurance and such things as car repairs, should I need them, would have to wait. Recently, the company my husband works for had layoffs, and the few remaining employees were cut down to 36 hours. A job is a necessity for me and my family." Suit herselfMyers is just one of the many area women that Adkisson, and others, have helped over the years. In 2007, when the U.S. entered a recession, Dress for Success Tulsa had 533 suitings. In 2008, the number jumped to 832 suitings, before leaping to 1,265 in 2009.To get an idea of Tulsa's job market, Casey Lamb, president of the Oklahoma staffing firm American StaffCorp, offered his perspective. "It's turning up slowly," Lamb said. "It's getting better slowly. Employers are taking time to hire the best fit for their specific needs." For Myers and others seeking employment, Lamb said, "It's still tough, but it's becoming easier now, because more businesses are realizing the need to hire again based on an increase in their business." William M. Dugger, a University of Tulsa economics professor who co-wrote "Economic Abundance: An Introduction," provided his opinion on how to improve Tulsa's job market. "To get us back to the golden age of high-wage blue-collar jobs for Tulsans will require an improvement in the job mix in Tulsa, as well as a massive turnaround in the national market," he said. "We need to bring the national unemployment rate down to 4 percent, and then even lower, and that will take three to five years of solid national growth. "Our national labor force is still growing gradually, so we need to provide jobs for three groups of workers: new entrants into the job market, today's officially unemployed workers and workers who have become so discouraged that they no longer actively look for work, even though they would gladly take a job if one were available to them." To aid Oklahomans actively seeking employment, Workforce Oklahoma offers an array of services, according to Charley Farley, an area manager of the Oklahoma Employment Security Commission. Workforce Oklahoma teaches everything from how to prepare a resume to lessons on perfecting interview skills, among other things. Beyond job skills workshops, Workforce Oklahoma matches potential employees with job openings and provides skills upgrading through various service providers. Year-to-date, there have been 19,000 participants at the three main Workforce Oklahoma Centers and the satellite office in Sand Springs. Practice perfectionOnce Myers walked out of Dress for Success Tulsa in early March, she went home to prepare for the next day's job fair at the University of Phoenix. That night she practiced answering interview questions out loud to herself, such as "Can you tell me a little about yourself?" and "What are your strengths and weaknesses?"The next morning, Myers made her way to the University of Phoenix campus, where she was greeted by Lori Santiago, the university's state vice president and the same woman who would later interview Myers for a position at the university. Initially, Santiago confused Myers not as a job applicant, but as an employer conducting interviews at the job fair. A few weeks after the job fair, Myers hasn't landed a job yet, but she remains hopeful. "I know that my bachelor's degree can provide me with the upper hand in today's job market," she said. "I'm very optimistic." OSU-Tulsa's career services coordinator offers advice for the all-important job interviewVanessa Carr never interviewed for a job she didn't get, whether it was for a bartending gig in Stillwater or a substitute-teacher position in Bixby.But now the Oklahoma State University- Tulsa student, who aspires to be a middle school or high school teacher, is nearing graduation next May. So as teaching job interviews approached, Carr, who is a 30-year-old mother, wanted to sharpen her interview skills via a mock interview with Patti L. Schmigle, OSU-Tulsa's career services coordinator. "The more comfortable you are in an interview in general," Carr said just before her mock interview, "the better you're going to do. To prepare for the mock interview for a teaching position, Carr consulted HireOSUgrads.com. It is is a one-stop shop for a myriad of job-seeking tools, ranging from interview tips to resume preparation. Most of the Web site is available free to the public. Schmigle began the mock interview by asking Carr, "Tell me a little bit about yourself. Other questions ranged from "Tell me what kind of people you get along with best" to "Describe an issue or problem that you had to deal with, and how you dealt with it. After Carr's roughly 30-minute mock interview, Schmigle praised Carr for her interviewing skills, then added, "By the way, no one comes in here with no comments. I'm a hard grader. You want it to be me — not the person you want the job from. Schmigle's critique is a behind-thescenes look at how actual employers view the tiniest details about a prospective employee. Often, each time Schmigle complimented Carr's interviewing skills, she'd point out mistakes other interviewees might have made. Here are few highlights from Schmigle's critique. 1. "You leaned forward. You engaged. You used your hands a little bit, but not too much. You seemed enthusiastic. 2. "Half the battle of handling an interview of any kind is knowing yourself really well. 3. "When an interviewer asks a question, you can give a flat answer, but you can give that answer with a story or an example about yourself that makes yourself much more memorable. 4. "You can tell when someone is being self-serving when they say, 'My weakness is my standard is just too high,' it can come across as very insincere. 5. "Everyone has a weakness. You were smart enough to not say, 'Oh, I don't have any.' You also want to say what you're doing to work (the weakness) out. You either solved it or you're working on it. 6. "Be careful not to interrupt. If you know the question they're going to ask, wait for it to be finished, then answer — even if you have a great answer. 7. "Think about how much personal information you share. 8. "You want (your introduction) to be no more than a minute and a half to two minutes. Plan four or five things you want to get out in that minute and a half, and try to stick to that, because you'll have other opportunities to bring those things in later.
