      Q: I keep seeing "Behavioral Interview Questions" mentioned in job postings. What are those? A: Employers like Bronson and Denso love these. They are questions that start with "Tell me about a time when..." instead of just asking about your skills.

       

    •  

      The Trick: Use the STAR Method (Situation, Task, Action, Result). Tell a short story: "Here was the problem, here is what I did, and here was the happy ending."

       

      Q: I’m looking for work, but I don’t have a computer at home to apply online. Where can I go? A: You have two great local options!

      1. Willard Library: They have public computers and free Wi-Fi downtown and at the Helen Warner branch.

      2. Michigan Works! Southwest: Located on McCamly Street, they not only have computers but also staff who can help you fix your resume on the spot.

      Q: Is it too early to apply for summer jobs? A: Not at all. The City of Battle Creek and places like Binder Park Zoo often start collecting applications for seasonal roles (lifeguards, camp counselors, grounds crew) in January and February. If you wait until May, the best spots are usually gone!
