Overcoming employer objections: how to respond in the moment

Washington Health Care Authority (HCA) Foundational Community Supports (FCS) in partnership with Rutgers School of Psychiatric Rehabilitation and Counseling Professions to present the March Innovations in Career Services.

Overcoming a potential employer’s objections or responding to tough questions can be difficult for job developers. It’s never easy to hear negative responses or a series of unwanted and uncomfortable questions from hiring managers or others in the business community. This call provides support and resources on responding to these negative objections or questions from employers in a positive way. We’ll spend some time practicing responses as well as reviewing this past month’s challenges and successes to job development

Objectives:

• Describe the types of negative objections or tough questions employers may ask job developers
• Identify specific ways to respond to employer objections and tough questions

Discuss the past month’s job development successes and challenges for support from others on the call
