It's About Who You Are, Not What You Do.

At Lori Lane Personnel Services, Inc. We not only pride ourselves on offering the best service the staffing industry affords, but we also strive to accommodate our applicants. This is the purpose of this blog post: to offer quality information to the applicant so that they may thrive in the business arena her in Southwest Florida.

We feel that the most important thing that an applicant can do to put themselves forward is to actually become introspective and work on themselves not only as a professional, but as a person. Often times we identify ourselves so often by what we do as opposed to who we are within that position, that you sometimes get lost in the schuffle. It is detrimental to "know who you are" so that you can not only know what jobs are thecorrect match for you, but to know how to market yourself as a hole. An employer mostly wants to see who you are, not just what you can do.

In the staffing industry we deal with many different industries, but the formula is basically the same. We find out what qualities the employer is looking for, and find the applicant that obtains these qualities. More often than not we have several candidates up for one job, all with the same skill set. So what sets them apart? Who they are as a person. If you not only present yourself as a professional, put together, happy person, but that's who you actually are, more often than not that will put you in the running for the position. Many times there will be someone more talented then you. But if that more talented person has a horrible attitude and doesn't leave their personal problems at the door, they won't get the job. Simple as that. You must be someone that not only fulfills the needs of the business, but be someone that the employer wants to work with every day.

This job market is difficult. That's why we are here to help guide you through it. With the simple idea that you win more flies with honey than with vinegar, and that you are actually a lovely person, you may be surprised with how many opportunities come your way.
