Q: What is the most important aspect of academic advising?
1 Answers↳
The skill of real-listening. To hear each student from their perspective, briefly repeating their comments, followed by clarifying questions leading to exploratory areas which relate back to their concerns, needs or their pathways forward. Interview was just-right-difficult in the sense to be thought provoking. Less
Q. How would you handle a faculty member that might be a little bit difficult?
1 Answers↳
I would let them say what they need to say, either in person or via email, and once they stated whatever they were having an issue with, I would approach the issue carefully. I have found in these instances that it is generally that the faculty member may feel as though no one is listening to them and their needs. Once you listen to them, that diffuses the situation exponentially. Less
Explain you advising philosophy, and how do you use it when working with students?
1 Answers↳
Understanding the theories of Erickson, Kholberg, and Chickering, I am aware of the development process through the adolescent to adult stage. This process can also be used when looking at student development. By adhering to the student's needs, we can assist them in that transition and provide them the needed resources and services that will hopefully develop into student success. As advisors, that is what we strive for, even if it is straying from the path they want, we should be able to offer other areas of exploring to find a field that can succeed in, personally and professionally.

How do I know if my student is understanding the material?
1 Answers↳
First, look for facial and body-language cues. A tense expression, pursed lips, downcast eyes, etc., usually means lack of understanding. Second, asked leading, closed-end questions, and when possible ask open-ended questions, and give the marker to the student and have him/her complete the next problem. Less

I am not sure if the questions posed were for the benefit of the organization but it truly helped me understand the unprofessionalism in there. what do you mean by stability? do you expect people to retire from Cactus once they join? what is the longest time you expect an employee to stick to the same company? i dont think it is is either in benefit of the company or that of the employee to stick on forever. I believe that asking such questions was not done on purpose, but because of a lack of training and awareness Nevertheless, thanks for letting us all know about the organisation right on day one.

Thank you for your reply, Global Talent Acquisition, Cactus Communications. Nevertheless, it is still disappointing to have lost a great opportunity to work with Cactus Communications, due to some silly, baseless "apprehensions". I would have taken it positively had I not cleared the technical tests, and worked towards it. But the reason given to me is not justifiable at all. Less

I had to say no because I didn't want to falter in anyway and lose this great opportunity. Had I known they were so unprofessional, I wouldn't have answered this question. Secondly, if they can ask me such sensitive questions, why didn't they clear their doubt if I will work there for long term or get bored eventually. Less

I believe this is a scam designed to get lots of candidates to do work for them for free without every hiring anyone. Same thing happened to me in October 2020. They've been posting the same 2 digital marketing jobs for months. I applied and got an email with a functional test of 32 questions to complete that took me hours to do. Sent it in and was told I wasn't moving forward with the process. They keep reposting these jobs over and over again. Scam. Less

Hi there, I've noted that you have posted the same comment multiple times now but our answer remains the same. It's understandable to be upset because you didn't receive the job but asking for skills assessment is completely normal. How else would an employer know if the person who says they have certain skill set for a job such as digital marketing assess the applicant's actual abilities? If you were not selected, it's because you didn't have the skills required unfortunately. We do tend to be very selective and sometimes our hiring process takes over 6 months. We will keep posting the same job over and over until we find someone suitable at our sole discretion. To be clear the functional test has zero value to our organization beyond assessing an applicant's skill levels and we're not using to get people to do "free work" for us. Lastly, our marketing team members who have been hired take about an hour to complete the task. If it takes someone more than two hours, they are probably not at the skill level suitable for us yet. With hard work and experience we're sure you can get the required skills and find a suitable position at another organization. All the best. Less
