Thank you for your interest in our web site. We hope you will find the information contained here useful.
Making the right choice
Our fully automatic job posting/job seeking web site will help you find the right job in the right location. We appreciate that commiting yourself to a family is a big step and that changing job can be a stressful experience.
No effort should be spared in the quest to find an employer you will be happy working for.
Being a housekeeper is one where interpersonal relationships, and personalities play a key part.
We encourage housekeepers to attend several interviews with potential employers to get a feel for the job before making a commitment, and to this end your advert will stay on the system for an indefinite period in excess of 60 days. GlobalAppointments.com has all the facilities you need to fully manage your own advert, including the option to remove it when it is no longer needed.
Preparing for the interview
We recommend families ask for at least three recent references from candidates at interview, written by previous employers, or people who know the candidate in a professional capacity. Expect to be asked at your job interview for copies of references, contact names and phone numbers, an up-to-date police check certificate, proof of identity, driving licence, and proof of any relevant qualifications. A successful interview from your point of view is one in which you will have discovered all the nuances of the job so that you are in a position to accept or reject the job if it is offered to you. Do not be afraid to defer your decision, if an offer is made at the interview. We strongly recommend that you go armed with a carefully thought out list of questions for the interview. Be confident, but listen carefully to all that is said, and if necessary take notes. Dont forget that the interview is a two way process, and employers will expect you to ask questions.
Expect to have to travel to the employers home for interview, but do ask for re-imbursement of expenses before travelling.
Waiting for a response
Once your advertisement has been sent to us it will appear in the relevant databases within 24 hours approximately. Therefore be prepared to go to an interview shortly afterwards. Do not be surprised on the other hand if you have to wait a longer period before receiving a response, as employers will often want to take their time, and draw up a short list, before inviting you for interview.
We sincerely hope that you will rapidly find the right family with whom you can settle quickly and happily.
