Some interviewers have a way of assessing their interviewees&#8217; responses and behavior in a way that they feel confident reflects whether a job candidate will be a good fit for their company. The Manchester Evening News published an article\u00a0by\u00a0Matthew Cooper, with what he thinks is the perfect trap for potential employees. He interviews employer Trent Innes about what he calls the &#8216;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk\/news\/uk-news\/coffee-cup-trick-used-catch-16367654\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">coffee cup trick<\/a>.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re an employer, GrantWatch have current grant listings for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant-search.php?keyword=business%20owners\u00a0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">business owners <\/a>under a number of categories. One\u00a0such category is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/cat\/40\/workforce-grants.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">workforce grants<\/a>\u00a0which can cover some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant-search.php?keyword=job%20skills\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">job skills training<\/a> or retraining costs for new hires in\u00a0in-demand fields where the need for skilled workers is greater than the current supply.<\/p>\n<p>How do you choose your employees? Do you have any telltale signs to know if someone will be a good fit for your organization?<\/p>\n<p>According to Workopolis, the best interviews include at least a few questions to get to know the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Attitude and motivation<\/em>: how does the candidate accept direction, feedback, and works under pressure?<\/li>\n<li><em>Loyalty and work ethic<\/em>: how committed are they to the job and their career?<\/li>\n<li><em>Honesty<\/em>: while embellishment may be expected, lies are not acceptable.<\/li>\n<li><em>Preferred managerial style<\/em>: do they like to be hand-held or do they thrive when working autonomously?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Behavioral interview questions are designed to uncover insights beyond just technical skills.

Metro reports that Trent Innes of software firm Zero Australia uses the trick in every single interview.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whenever someone comes in for an interview, Trent will take them on a walk deliberately past the kitchen and make sure they come away with a hot drink. After the interview is all done, Trent watches to see if the person offers or attempts to take the empty coffee\/tea cup back to the kitchen.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s an easy way to find out how selfless someone is. If they just leave their cup at the table and leave, they won\u2019t get the job.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking on a podcast, Trent Innes said: \u2018If you do come in and have an interview, as soon as you come in and you do meet me, I will always take you for a walk down to one of our kitchens and somehow you always end up walking away with a drink.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Then we take that back, have our interview, and one of the things I\u2019m always looking for at the end of the interview is, does the person doing the interview want to take that empty cup back to the kitchen?<\/p>\n<p>\u2018You can develop skills, you can gain knowledge and experience but it really does come down to attitude, and the attitude that we talk a lot about is the concept of \u201cwash your own coffee cup\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>So do the washing up.<\/p>\n<p>Nonprofit managers and small business owners can take advantage of\u00a0workforce grants when they hire eligible candidates.<\/p>\n<p>Grants to USA Nonprofits for Career Development\u00a0Projects that Benefit Youth and Veterans with Disabilities. The deadline to submit proposals\u00a0is July, 15th, but a new round of funding\u00a0will begin in January 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Details: Grants ranging from $10,000 to $75,000 to USA nonprofit organizations for projects that benefit youth with disabilities. Projects should help youth develop skills needed for successful employment, especially for work in the areas of science, technology, engineering, arts and design, and mathematics. The Foundation will also consider projects that create tools to break down barriers to employment and increase job opportunities for young people with disabilities entering the workforce, including returning veterans with disabilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Job interviews can be tricky for both the employer and the employee.
