By August 2011, the national average length of unemployment was a record 40 weeks.2 Many have been out of work far longer, with serious consequences. Even with federal extensions to Unemployment Insurance (UI), payments are available for a maximum of 99 weeks in some states; other states provide fewer (60-79) weeks. Millions of Americans—known as 99ers— have exhausted their UI benefits, and their numbers grow every month. By October 2011, approximately 2.9 million nationally had done so.

  • How to Prepare for Job Interview Questions

    How to Prepare for Job Interview Questions

    Talking the talk: How to prepare for job interview questions At best, a job interview can be a thoughtful conversation about a subject close to your heart: You! At worst, it can be a sweaty interrogation. Don’t sweat it. Be prepared. Before an interview, carefully review your transcript and resume, think critically about your personal successes and failures, and inventory your skills and experiences. You should be ready to answer detailed questions about your academic and professional past, and demonstrate that you are thinking about your future. There are two main question types you are likely to encounter in an interview: 1. Behavior Based Questions: - Tell me about a situation where you took on a leadership role. - Give an example of a time when you had to communicate effectively. - Describe your proudest academic achievement. 2. Personal History Questions: - Who do you consider to be your role model? - What are your long-term career goals? - Why do you want to work for this organization? In the heat of the moment, these questions can seem overwhelming. By anticipating how you will answer them, you can stay in control of the interview. 1. Behavior Based Questions: Employers have to assume that the past is precedent, so they will ask you to share personal experiences that illustrate relevant skills. Your examples may come from work experiences, internships, coursework, research, extra-curricular activities or volunteer work. The STAR technique (Situation or Task, Action, Result) can help you structure informative and concise personal narratives. Situation/Task: Description of a specific situation or task related to a relevant skill Action: Description of the specific steps you took in the situation or to 1 complete the task.
  • Avoiding Underemployment

    Avoiding Underemployment

    NC VETERAN NEWS Avoiding Underemployment While no official definition of underemployment exists, most of us consider ourselves underemployed if we feel underpaid, work at a job that doesn’t match our level of education, or work only part time when we really want a full-time job. Underemployment does happen, and although we can’t control everything in our lives, here are a few strategies to avoid having to take jobs that turn out to be “less” than you expected. Start Early Keeping in mind that it’s not unusual to take six months or more to get a job, you should start your job search early. Start looking at job postings, applying for jobs, and polishing your job search skills at least six months from your projected date of discharge or retirement. If you wait too long to start your job search, you may feel pressured to take any job just to have some income. That may mean taking one that doesn’t fit your skills and experience and that may have a lower salary. Professional Online Profile First impressions count, so make it easy for job recruiters to find positive information about you online. In the process of transition, you will probably “rebrand” yourself to meet new career expectations. Since recruiters often search the Internet for job applicants’ information, find out what your online information looks like and take action to put your best electronic foot forward. • Know what recruiters will see about you or about someone who has the same name as yours. Google your name to see what information shows up.

  • Glossary of Payroll Terms Welcome to the OSPS Glossary of Payroll Terms

    Glossary of Payroll Terms Welcome to the OSPS Glossary of Payroll Terms

    Glossary of Payroll Terms Welcome to the OSPS Glossary of Payroll Terms. OSPS developed this glossary to help new payroll staff members and employees navigate the terms surrounding State of Oregon payroll systems. A Accrue An earned benefit that increases over time. Most often used with "accrued leave". ACH Electronic Deposit The Automated Clearing House processes electronic transactions between financial institutions. For OSPA, ACH refers to an employee's use of direct deposit for all or a portion of the employee's pay. OSPA allows employees to have up to eight fixed amount electronic deposits and one net pay deposit. ACH Rejects ACH rejects are unsuccessful data or money exchanges between the state and the recipient's financial institution. The Oregon State Treasury receives notice when an employee's financial institution rejects a deposit or pre-note attempt. Treasury in turn notifies OSPS once a day. OSPS then notifies state agencies via fax, or by phone if there is money involved. Agency payroll needs to correct the deposit information in OSPA. OSPS processes ACH rejects between 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. each workday. See more detail about this process in the report guide here. ACH Stops Prevent the transmission of a direct deposit. Agencies must request the ACH stop by 10:15 a.m. on the second day after each final payroll run cutoff. To request an ACH Stop from OSPS, please complete the ACH Stop Form (pdf). AHRP Annualized Hourly Rate of Pay. To calculate, take the ADJUSTED BASE from the P030 ÷ 173.33 (if STANDARD HRS PER DAY = 8) Assumed Wages The dollar value of work performed by unpaid volunteers.
