10 Things I Learned from Ed Winter – Revisited in 2012

2012 Leave a Comment Written by Jason

Ed Winter was the owner and president of Masiello Employment Services for over 20 years. He passed away unexpectedly in February of 2009.  Ed grew the business to three offices in three separate states during his time here. He was regarded as a wonderfully generous and giving person… giving of his time, of his energy and of his abilities. I learned many important lessons from Ed about family, about using resources wisely and about running a business. In 2009 I felt there was really no better way to introduce Masiello Employment’s new blog, “Results At Work”, than to talk about Ed and his lasting influence on the business. Here we are a short three years later and this list feels even more true and valuable than when I wrote it.  So here is the list… READ MORE »

First Impressions Are Important, But When Do They Happen?

Jan24
2012 1 Comment John Written by John

Congratulations! You have an interview. You have prepared mentally, dressed appropriately, remembered to turn off your cell phone (I hope), and are walking into the office five minutes before your scheduled interview. You have checked in with the receptionist who has politely asked you to take a seat.  You know the person conducting the interview will be paying close attention to everything you say and do, so you try to relax for a few minutes. This seems like a good time to gather your thoughts, since no one is paying attention to you. Or are they? READ MORE »

Free Resume Writing Workshop

Jan12
2012 Leave a Comment Written by Jason

“I’ve applied to a lot of jobs online, but I never hear anything back from the companies.  I wish I could just talk to a person.  What do they do with all of those resumes anyway?”

Ever wish you could just talk to someone at a company and ask them why you never heard back from them after submitting your resume?  What would you ask them?

 

  • Was my resume even looked at by a human?
  • Was my resume lacking something important?
  • What could I have done different to score an interview?
  • Should I have included a cover letter?
  • Was the job even really open?

The Staffing Consultants at Masiello Employment Services review thousands of resumes and conduct hundreds of interviews each year.  They also work with some of the largest and most sought after employers in the region.   What does this mean to you?

Over the years we have gained tremendous insight into what works and what doesn’t work on a resume.  We know fully that some of the best candidates out there are – let’s face it – lousy at writing resumes.  We also know quite well what employers are looking for, and how to make the best candidates stand out.  We have always offered this kind of expertise and insight to our candidates for free.  And now we are excited to announce a FREE resume writing workshop series.

Our first workshop will be held at our offices in Keene, New Hampshire on February 23, 2012 from 12 noon to 1pm.  A brief question and answer period will follow if you have time.

Interested?  Click here to let us know!

Does your job feel like work?

Jan09
2012 Leave a Comment Julie Written by Julie

Most of my family members and friends talk about how much they dislike going to work.  They dread Monday mornings, they hate their boss, they don’t enjoy what they do every day, they don’t feel valued or appreciated and – BIG surprise – every one of them is actively looking for a new job.  Not only does this surprise and sadden me it makes me feel really lucky, because I love my job and enjoy going to work every day.

I am not just saying that because my boss will be reading this…I am saying it because it is true and I believe every person should be lucky enough to say the same thing.

So, why do I love going to work every day?

  • I love what I do.  Sounds simple I know, but if you don’t love what you do, then you are doing the wrong thing.
  • I am surrounded by people who work hard and also love what they do.  The bar is set and the expectations are high.  There is nothing worse than workplace negativity and feeling like your teammates aren’t carrying their weight. However, all you can really control or change is your own behavior.  Carry your own weight, contribute, collaborate and encourage….you will be surprised to see how this raises the bar and how others follow your lead.  Give it a shot, it sure beats being negative about your teammates all the time.
  • We have fun every single day.  It’s true, you can work hard AND have fun.  In fact the two go hand in hand.  We make time to connect as people not just co-workers, we enjoy pot luck meals together, have competitions, listen to beach tunes on Friday afternoons, have filing parties when the work gets backed up, ring a bell when work orders come in and most importantly we laugh and we celebrate all our successes big and small.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statics, on average we spend 16.2 hours per day either working or sleeping.  If you hate your job, I bet you aren’t sleeping well either.

On average we spend 16.2 hours per day either working or sleeping

So you may be asking “What is the point of this story?”  The number one reason I love what I do is because we help people find great jobs every single day and the good news is we can help you too.   Call Masiello Employment Services today to learn about all of our exciting employment opportunities so you can make the move toward finding a job you love and enjoying every one of the 24 hours in your day.
