Straight Talk About the Job Palm RestaurantStraight Talk About the Job Palm RestaurantPalm Restaurant If theyd Asked Amanda about The Job, heres what Id sayCBS aired its pilot episode of a new reality-competition show called The Job . Hosted by Lisa Ling, the TV series featured candidates who compete in a variety of challenges for a mglichkeit to win a dream job at their dream company.A reality show about the interview process? Sign me up The career coach in me had to watch this The first episode featured five candidates Anthony, Maggie, Ryan, Jann and Alex vying for an assistant manager role at the legendary steakhouse, Palm Restaurant.While I dont think the show gives viewers a very accurate portrayal of the recruiting process seriously, how many job interviews involved you working at their office for a day to test your skills? I still think theres a lot you can learn. In this first episode, the theme that stuck out to me was cultural fit.Ive said it once and Ill say it again you can have all the skills in the world but if you dont fit in with the company, you wont land the job. This was well illustrated in belastung weeks episode.The Palm is known as a leader in fine dining and a longstanding family owned business that considers its employees part of the family. A quick look at their website allows diners to get a sense of what they should expect when they visit the Palm a topnotch formal dining experience.Spoiler alert Two of the five candidates Alex and Anthony were misfits right from the start. Alex had little to no formal dining experience and worked at a vegan restaurant. Its not surprising that this vegan didnt fare well while interviewing for a position at a steakhouse.And, although Anthony was a competent candidate, he was chastised when he showed up underdressed for the on-the-job portion of the interview. I also cant imagine owner Wally Ganzi approving of Anthonys facial hair. While Anthony was not offered the job with Palm Restaurant, he d id receive an offer from a restaurant with a laid-back atmosphere a much better cultural fitThe stimmungslage of the story? Seek opportunities where theres a cultural fit. If you make it to an interview and you know you lack a certain knowledgebase thats important for the job, do your homework.
