How to Get A Job with a Franchisor

Jerry Wilkerson, at franchise-chat.com, has an interesting article called Tips for Franchisor Job Seekers

"Nearly 90 percent of franchisors consider communication/people skills as the major reason they hire an individual. During your phone or in person interview don?t just talk about duties and responsibilities you have undertaken, talk about accomplishments, and be specific.

How did you save money, earned revenue for the company or handled difficult situations?

The majority of jobs are filled through networking. Keep you communications system up and operating, and be sure to maintain contact with your search partner.

Keep talking with the headhunter that presented your candidacy to the franchisor and established the interview.

Keep communications open with the company.

About 80 percent of franchise hiring managers prefers chronological resumes with dates accurately stated along with years and months. (Note: not just years.)

Also, be certain to have valid reasons for leaving a company ready to articulate. You will be asked these questions."
