Career Corner: Ask a Recruiter
If you’ve been interviewing for a while, you’ve probably been invited to complete a performance task of some kind. Performance tasks are a great opportunity for you to get a taste of the scope and rigor of the work, and for hiring managers to see your expertise in practice. Here are my best practices for approaching a performance task:
1) Review the task and supporting documents in their entirety. Create a timeline for completion, especially if you’ve been given several days or even more than a week. Block time off in your calendar and stick to the plan!
2) Don’t be afraid to seek clarity on big questions. Perhaps you notice there’s a missing set of data, or you’re unclear on the amount of detail the hiring manager expects. Make sure that you ask these questions as soon as you get the assignment, as opposed to the day before it’s due.
3) Brainstorm or ask for feedback from a friend/colleague with experience in that job function to ensure you’re on the right path.
4) Review your final document for spelling and grammar, and ensure you’ve addressed all the big questions or look-fors from the original assignment.
Applying for jobs and engaging in a rigorous interview process takes time. I encourage you to seek clarity on the full timeline of a process the moment you engage with a hiring manager. This will help you plan accordingly in the case that you’re invited to move forward.
