Not Much has Changed?

The way employers and job seekers activity look for work has changed.  The days of swinging by, filling out a paper application and the chance at a Face to Face with the hiring manager is a thing of the past. Today majority of employers have applicants go through third party online recruiting companies or links directing applying members to fill out online applications. So what does this mean for those of us who remember a simpler time?

To better understand the process here are a few things to consider while filling out that online application. For starters verifying a driver’s past employment history is accessible through DAC and other online data bases like it.  Your word as your bond verifying past work history isn’t good enough. The downside is that smaller companies are required to pay fees for these online reporting services. Drivers coming from smaller companies may find it harder to get their past work history verified. Depending on your relationship with smaller companies during your time of departure, burned bridges are still visible. Meaning if things weren’t good when you left, it will most likely follow you and trucking companies take the word of other transportation companies before the drivers.

Lastly with safety concerns for motorist on the raise driving records are easily accessible  and for the most part accurate. How can you find out what’s on your driving record for free? Apply for a truck driving job with Florilli Transportation and find out more. Overall not much has really changed with the exception of better record keeping and an increase of wide spread communications via the Internet.  Simply stated, it’s harder to hide.
