An Outstanding Job Interview

For most of us, the job interview is an experience we both crave and dread. On the one hand, we know that the interview brings us one step closer to acquiring an employment position we desire. On the other, we know the interview could also spell disaster for our attempts if it doesn't go well. Very few, if any, people actually enjoy job interviews. Even the people who are requried to conduct them don't generally enjoy them, possibly because they remember all too well what it's like being on the other side of the desk. Being in the "hot seat" puts you under more stress, forces you to think up answers to difficult questions on the spot, and makes you second guess every word you say and movement you make. What's even worse is that most of us never learn anything about good interviewing techniques. Most high schools and colleges fail to instruct us about the ins and outs of interviews.
Instead, we get advice from all of those around us on what to do, how to act, what to say. It simply makes us more confused and stressed, which ends up causing poor interview performances. There will also be some individuals who falsely belief that a well-written resume packed with skills, experience, and education that meets or exceeds what the employer is looking for will be all that it takes to earn a job. The truth is that the resume just gets your foot in the door; it's the interview that really matters. That's why it is extremely important to understand the job interview process, so that you can ace the job interview and land the job of your dreams!

Find a part time job

Find a Part-Time Job

Not all jobs have to be full-time and intense. If you're looking for a bit of extra cash, why not take on a job that's fun and nearly hassle-free? Market research companies are always looking to add consumers just like you to their database. Sign up with as many market research companies as you can in order to increase your chance of attending focus groups or one-on-one surveys. Groups usually last anywhere from half an hour to two hours and can range in pay anywhere from $50 to $200 cash. You can search online in many great places for focus groups and for market research companies. Even if you don't qualify for what they're looking for immediately, forward your information and sign up with them anyway! You might be surprised at the amount of groups you may qualify for in the future! Do you need a flexible job with hours that can fit into your schedule? Perhaps you should look into providing personal services, such as pet sitting, babysitting, or personal assistance. The hours are usually flexible, and the individuals needing this service tend to be very understanding about your demanding schedule. For a part-time job, a personal service job tends to be good paying. Are you a student? There are many employers that will hire a student simply because they're majoring in a related field of study. You won't have to go
through tons of interviews and wait weeks or months to start a part-time position. It is a good opportunity to get hands-on training in your chosen career path, and will look good on a resume when you graduate. Some companies offer employment on a semester to semester basis. Looking for something that's fun? Try a part-time job with the park district or the zoo. Maybe you can find part-time work on a film set, or as an extra! You might find yourself in a movie one day! Temp agencies will send you to various companies to help out with mass mailings and other marketing projects, should you ask for this type of work. These are usually fun and easy! There are other temporary employment opportunities as well, but the great thing about being a temp is that you have the option to accept or decline an assignment and you can work as much or as little as you need. Promotional work can be very profitable for working only a few days each month. The work is usually fun and exciting and you'll end up working on some really interesting and unique promotions and events. A part-time job doesn't have to be boring and it doesn't have to involve fast food. It can be an entertaining and enjoyable experience!

Choosing The Right Career

Choosing The Right Career

How to choose a career for yourself? It is important to go for a career that is your calling. There are numbers of options to choose from. You can make a career in medicine, law, architecture, finance, designing, media and many more fields. Your career will also decide what you do for the better part of your day/night and more importantly the course of your life. Therefore, it is advisable to choose a career that suits you and your expectations from life.

Choose a job that you love and you will never have to work. This maxim holds true even today. You can choose a career suiting your skill sets and personality type. If colors and designs have inspired you since long, a career in designing will suit you just fine. Give wings to your dream by becoming a pilot. If you can stand up against the wrong and are a vociferous speaker, then a degree in law is awaiting you. For the lovers of words there are careers in media. Different people have different motivations. Some people want to be famous and some want a career that gives creative satisfaction. Then there are others who want to serve humanity and work for noble purposes. Ponder over what are your motivations in life and accordingly choose a career.

There are a host of creative career options that you can choose from such as films, arts,


music and theater. However be prepared to work hard in any career you choose. All these avenues might seem very glamorous, but the truth is that a lot of hard work and perseverance goes behind them. In case you choose acting as a career, do a reality check. Do not enter harboring dreams of instant fame and success, since all this may take time. For the time success does not court you, the going might get very tough. Most of the passionate actors in such cases work in the evening shifts to make their ends meet and they go for auditions in the daytime.

While choosing a career it is important not to get bogged down by parental or peer pressure. There are also times when there is a certain wave that takes the economy by sway. In such times it is important to hold ground and not get carried away. You should not be choosing your career on the basis of such factors. All these influences might result in you getting a career that might not be your call or it is not motivating enough.

Beware Of Job Fraud Scams!

Beware Of Job Fraud Scams!
Searching for a job can be difficult enough, but when you finally spot the 'job of a lifetime' - just consider that if the job sounds too good to be true - quite likely, it is!

Imagine the job of "Designer - Developer/Applications/IT" with a tax-free salary of $120K for 6 months work.

Perks including Paid Overtime at $300 per hour, paid first-class accommodation, $3,000.00 flat rate travel/entertainment allowance for every intercontinental trip, free comprehensive healthcare, two weeks of paid vacation, a free laptop computer and free transportation/vehicle.

WOW!!! - Where do I sign up???

This is just one of the many recent postings on Monster.com - other jobs with the same salary and benefits are also available - including:

* Project Manager - Project/Infrastructure/IT * Analyst - Systems/Support/IT * Technical Advisor - Computer/Security/IT * Analyst - Data Manager/IT/

Sometimes the scams are easy to spot - other times it can be more difficult. Quite often the job titles and job descriptions are often stolen from other legitimate employment sites.

You may be able to enter a snippet of the job description in double-quotes and find the original source through your favorite search engine.

For example, the position I mentioned earlier contained the text "(C++, Java, HTML, PHP, Visual Basic)" in the job description.

Search for this in Google (including the double-quotes) and you'll quickly see how often this exact string has been used in scam-related job postings.

These companies (more likely individuals) have absolutely no intention of hiring you - they are simply after the "Administration Fee" you need to send in advance.

Here is an example of some terms on a recent posting on monster.com:

You are liable to make charges of about USD$950.00 for the procurement of your working and residential permit documents which covers:

1, Administrative charges: 2, Diplomatic Courier Charges: 3, Working Permit charges: 4, Residential Permit charges: 5, Hard copies of the terms:

They promise reimbursement of fees and travel expenses to attend the interview, but only AFTER you've shown up for the job and discovered they never existed!

In addition to money sent to the fraudsters in advance -- you could be suckered in for airfare, hotel and thousands of dollars in other expenses.

Some obvious clues that should send up bright red warning flags:

* The job is in Nigeria, or posted on behalf of a Nigerian company. Quite often the jobs are IT-related in companies involved with oil,


banking or mining.

* The contact is using @hotmail.com or some other free email service. Legitimate offers generally come from legitimate companies with real email addresses.

* The telephone number is a fake. Don't even try to call. Most often, if the number even works at all, it leads to a mobile phone in Nigeria or a similar country. Check the country code before calling and see if it matches the company's address (if they even provide one).

* Beware of requests for detailed personal information, such as a copy of your passport, birth certificate, SSN card and so forth. This trick is used to make the application more 'real' but if they can't sucker you on the 'application fee' - they may just sell or use your identity instead.

* Quite often, there will be many errors in the references, spelling and/or grammar. Here is another example:

"You are to receive the hard copies of the contract terms and agreement and also your working and residential permit altogether, it will be delivered through Diplomatic Courier Services(DHL) to your various designated addresses respectively."

Do a Google search for "Diplomatic Courier Services(DHL)" and you will again see dozens of listings discussing or exposing the scam.

There are many variations to this new type of scam. Currently, IT professionals seem to be the major target. Monster.com and Monster's country-specific sites have become the hot target for these scamsters.

Although Monster does remove bogus job postings fairly quickly, the process to complain about them is difficult and time-consuming.

In many online job boards, there is no 'filtering' or human review process for job postings -- otherwise such fraudulent listings would be need to be much more difficult. Many job boards also allow free postings for advertisers -- making them even more attractive for scammers.

The important thing to remember is that few legitimate employers will ask for fees of any kind up-front - in fact, many employers will pay for your travel expenses in advance.

Don't let the job of your dreams become a financial nightmare - be cautious when dealing with any business you can not easily identify or verify. Best of luck on your job search!

Behavioral Interview Techniques

Behavioral Interview Techniques
Below are some behavioral interview techniques that you'll find useful:

1. Be prepared for the interview by analyzing and making an educated guess as to which skills are most desired by the employer. You can study the job description of the position or go to some job boards to review requirement sections of related jobs.
2. Compile a list of skills that are relevant to the position you are applying.
3. Identify behavioral interview questions by introductory phases like "Tell me about a time when...," " Describe a situation where you...," "Give me an example of..." etc.
4. Listen carefully to each question. If necessary, rephrase the question and ask for clarification.
5. Use STAR formula to answer behavioral interview question. STAR stands for Situation, Task, Action and Result. Make sure that your answers are detailed


and specific. This behavioral interview technique is widely recommended by career advisors.
6. Use your real-life examples instead of your opinions or theoretical statements. The employers want to know what you have done in the past, not what you think you would do in the future.
7. Vary the length of your answers. You can prepare short description of each situation but be ready to give details if asked. You can also determine if you have given enough information by asking questions like, "Would you like more details on that?" "Would you like another example?".
8. Be honest. It will be bad for you if the interviewer find out that your story is built on weak foundation.

5 Critical Success Factors to Getting a Job

5 Critical Success Factors to Getting a Job


In 2000, I accepted a job as the Human Resources Manager for a large auto-components manufacturer. I had the undistinguished task of laying off 250 workers due to an imminent plant closure. If you speak to any person in the human resources profession they will tell you how mentally difficult it is to let people go and see their disappointment in the process.

Redundant employees express a wide range of emotion, ranging from family responsibility and financial insecurity to just losing a work life they had grown to rely on and become accustomed to. It was my job to counsel employees about how they could better cope with their personal circumstances and I hired professional workplace counselors to assist. What was to happen two weeks later was unprecedented.

After a job well done and a smooth redundancy process my managing director walked onto my office, thanked me for my efforts and made me redundant! "I needed you to complete the process first before I could let you go" he said. I felt as though I had hit a brick wall and was momentarily stunned. How was I to break the news to my wife? I had two young children; a mortgage like most of the working population and my wife did not work outside the home. This book is about how I coped with this stressful moment in my life.

I had to draw upon all my previous job-hunting experience and survival skills to get through. I can break it down into 5 key critical success factors:

1. Successful job search skills knowledge

2. Strong financial management initiatives

3. Flexible and open career re-assessment

4. Mental toughness and a strong belief system

5. Managing your current job.

Successful Job Search Skills Knowledge

Key Success Factor Number 1
Your very first objective when you have lost your job is to get another job. Now that may sound a bit straightforward but it isn't. To get another job today requires special knowledge and skill. This is because in most situations, redundancy falls during times of economic slowdown, rising unemployment resulting in fewer jobs and


greater competition. Labour economists call this an "oversupply of labour" and this will cause an imbalance in the labour market favouring employers.

That's right - employers can pick and chose whomever they like and they know it. I think that competition is a key word here, because just like any other competitive scenario, nobody remembers who came second. The only winner is the person who gets that job and you're up against it in what is cruel market place.

If you have been working in an organisation for a long time and are reaching the older age category, being out of work for the first time can shock you. All of a sudden you're in a cauldron of job hunters operating in an unbalanced labour market where supply far outweighs demand. Lets face it, it will not be easy but there is always hope. Whatever you do don't become defeatist and lose faith in your abilities. Get yourself in job search mode and learn all you can about job-hunting skills. It will be necessary for you to do this in order to compete at the same level and edge closer to winning that job.

Your job search knowledge must consist of the following areas of competence:

1. Ability to tap into the hidden job market

2. Successful behavioural interview skills

3. Good letter writing ability with a marketable resume

4. Strong belief in yourself and mental stamina.

Successful job search skills knowledge is critical and this book focuses heavily on this key area. I have covered all of the above areas of competence in separate chapters so that you can easily move from one key activity to another. Your ability to network with others and perform well at interviews will be paramount. Your ability to write good covering letters and have a well-written up-to-date resume is equally important. If you need more coaching beyond the scope of the book then go out and get it.

8 Job Interview Mistakes To Avoid

8 Job Interview Mistakes To Avoid
The interview is a critical part of the job search process and also
the one where most job seekers have trouble. There is plenty of
advice around on how to navigate thru an interview successfully. This
article has put together some simple, but crucial items that job
seekers should definitely plan on NOT doing!


===================================================
JOB INTERVIEWING - 8 MISTAKES YOU MUST AVOID!
===================================================

1. - DON'T SHOW UP LATE.
There is no easier way to lose points with a prospective employer
than to show up late. First impressions do last. And unfortunately,
showing up late screams things like “I am unreliable” or “your time is
not important to me”. Is this what you want a prospective employer to
think before you even have a chance to utter a word? Make it a point
to try to be early to every interview. That way, bad weather, traffic
and that last minute phone call stand less chance of ruining your
entrance. If the unforeseen 18-wheeler does happen to dump 10 tons of
tomatoes across the interstate, upon arrival, apologize first thing,
offer a quickexplanation and move on. (Ideally you would have called
from your cell phone as soon as you caught sight of the delay.)

2. - DON'T ACT DISINTERESTED.
No matter what the circumstance never act disinterested during an
interview. If 10 minutes into the meeting you become certain that
nothing on the planet could convince you to take a job with the
company continue to pay attention and act like you care about the
conversation. Remember that the interviewer does not exist in a
vacuum. He or she has friends, relatives, and associates who may
influence future job opportunities. If you behave poorly, the
interviewer will remember and will share the story of you and your
unprofessional behavior with others. Haven’t you shared bad job
search experiences with people close to you? The interviewer is
probably no different.

3. - DON'T BE UNPREPARED.
Being prepared has many facets. Interviewers expect you to know
something about the company and the position you are seeking. Having
this knowledge makes you appear both motivated and truly interested.
So make sure you do your research! Excellent sources of information
include, the Internet, periodicals and people already in the field.
Another facet of being prepared is being ready for the types of
questions that may be asked. There are numerous articles on the web
and in bookstores with practice interview questions and answers. Make
sure to utilize all such resources available to you. And finally,
don’t forget to have extra copies of your resume and references on
hand should they be requested.

4. - DON'T FORGET YOUR MANNERS.
No matter how old fashioned it appears to use word like “please”,
“sir”, “ma’am” and “thank you”, do not delete these words from your
vocabulary. These simple words can work wonders towards making a
positive impression. Always use a respectful tone of voice. Do not
unnecessarily interrupt the interviewer. Maintain eye contact and a
pleasant expression. Leave the slang, slouching and gum chewing at
home. Good manners signals respect for yourself and the people around
you; never underestimate their


importance.

5. - DON'T DRESS INAPPROPRIATELY.
Whether you like it or not, the job interview is not the time to
express your individuality. Always remember that your goal is to gain
employment, not to make a fashion statement. Accordingly, you should
not dress in any way that will distract attention from you and your
qualifications. Things to avoid include unconventional hair colors,
excessive jewelry and makeup and any clothes that you would wear to a
nightclub. Prior to the interview, contact the companies HR
department and inquire about the company dress code. Do your best to
dress accordingly. If there is any doubt, err on the side of being
overdressed.

6. - DON'T BE UNTRUTHFUL
Never, ever lie during an interview. Mistruths have an uncanny habit
of catching up to people. If the interviewer catches you in a lie
during the interview, you have seriously damaged your chances of being
hired. After all, would you hire someone that you couldn’t trust? If
your employer finds out you lied after you have been hired, it could
be grounds for dismissal. Even if they do not dismiss you, you are
still in serious trouble as you have damaged your integrity in the
eyes of your boss. The bottom line is that you should always be
truthful when interviewing.

7. - DON'T BE MODEST.
When searching for the right job, put your modesty aside. Don’t be
afraid to confidently describe your skills and accomplishments. After
all, if you don’t sing your praises to your potential boss, then who
will? Don’t count on your resume to do all the work; it is only a
tool to help you land the interview. Once you get your foot in the
door, it is up to you to convince the interviewer that you are the
ideal person for the job. Worried that you will come across as
conceited instead of self-confident? Then practice how and what you
will say with a friend or family member who can provide honest
feedback.

8. - DON'T FORGET THE "THANK YOU NOTE.
Once the interview has concluded, take a few moments to jot down your
impressions of the interviewer, what you talked about and any
interesting points that were brought up during the meeting. The ideal
time and place to do this is in your car a soon as you have exited the
building, as your thoughts will be most fresh at this time. Use this
information as you compose a well thought out thank you note to the
interviewer. Mail this note no later than the day following the
interview. Remember promptness signals interest.

By avoiding these 8 simple mistakes, you can improve your chances of
having a successful interview and landing the job of your dreams.
