THE INTERVIEW

Preparing for the Interview

Once you get the call for the interview, the next thing that you have to do is prepare for it. You can never over prepare for an interview. The more prepared you are, the harder it will be to make mistakes. It is best to prepare yourself emotionally as well as intellectually for an interview. Giving a great interview is not as hard as some may think, but not as easy as others do either. Here are a few things that must be done in order to prepare for your next interview.
Remember, during an interview, you are a salesman. You are there to sell yourself to your prospective employer. You want to market yourself in the most interesting way possible. Great preparation for the interview is your best bet. A salesman that is knowledgeable, friendly and positive always gets the close.

Do Your Research

It doesn’t matter how much knowledge or experience you have about the position that you are trying to get in a company if you don’t have a clue who the company is or what they do. It is disastrous to enter into an interview and not be able to tell your interviewer what their company is about. How else are you going to tell them why you feel that you would be a good addition to their company?

A good and less time consuming way to get to know about a company is to look up their website. You can get all of the general knowledge about them that way, including the names of key people and their job titles. (There will be more on that in a minute) You should sift through most of their pages, including the pages that show samples of their work and/or products.

You can also look them up in the media files if there are any. Read the articles about them and soak in as much information as possible. Another thing that would be nice to do is to check out the surrounding area around the company. It makes for a nice breaker during the interview. You can make a comment about a particular monument or resting place nearby.

A trickier way to get a little extra information about the company is to call them on the phone and ask general questions, without referring to yourself as a potential employee. It’s a nice way to get the goods on upcoming promotions etc.

Know Your Contact

When called for an interview, ask to whom you will be talking to. It is nice to be able to greet your interviewer by name at the beginning of the interview without first being told who they are. It shows that you are on top of things, and have prepared before hand.

You will also want to do some research on the person that will be conducting your interview. Learn what they do for the company and try to get some samples of their work or achievements in the company.

If you know what department that you are going to work in you may want to get the names of your potential colleagues and superiors prior to the interview as well. This way you can get some information about their roles in the company and the types of work that they have done.

Mention some of the things that you learn about your potential colleagues in the interview and about how much you look forward to working with them in the future. If you can, give an example of their work so that you will appear more sincere.

Practice Your Responses

It is better, if you are prone to nervousness, to practice giving your responses to the questions that may be asked of you. (A list of the most common questions will appear later on in the blog) You should practice your wording and the tone of voice that you plan to use; Try keeping your responses as brief as possible, but with as much detail as you can.

When you are trying to work out the proper responses to the interviewer’s questions, you will also want to practice the art of getting your nerves under control as well as ridding yourself of any other odd habits while talking; like expressing yourself with your hands.

Practice answering your interview questions with a friend. Get his or her opinion about your delivery and gestures. Perhaps your friend will have some nice insights for you to use during the real interview.

Dress the Part

Pre-select your attire the day before your interview. You want to make sure that your clothes do not have any wrinkles or stains on them. Pick an outfit that best suits the type of job that you are applying for. If you are going to work in an office setting, you should dress conservatively. Soft earth tones are best for women. Try to avoid mini skirts and shirts that show too much skin. A nice dark suit is good for a male.

Of course if you are planning to work outdoors or in an artistic environment, you can dress a little more casually. Just be certain to avoid wearing denim jeans, over sized clothing, and under sized clothing. Women should try and avoid wearing too much make-up as well. It gives the wrong impression.

Even in the hotter seasons, you should not wear sandals or gym shoes to an interview. It sends an unprofessional message. The same goes for hats and other accessories.

Get Organized

Make sure that all of the things that you will need for the interview are prepared the day before. Make a checklist of the things that you will need if you have to. You should always have an extra resume handy during the interview. You should also bring with you a note pad to take notes during the interview if needed. (Only write down the important things that you think you will need to remember)If you have a business card, have one handy, it makes for easy contact later, and it also shows that you are professional and may help the employer to remember your name.

How Should I Act?

There are many things that you can do that can take some of the pressure off during an interview. The way that you behave is one of the most important. It’s not all in the words that come out of your mouth, but often has a lot to do with the mannerisms that you use.

Interviewers are not just wondering if you are skilled enough for the job, they are often wondering if you would fit in nicely with you co-workers. Your personality is a big part of your interview and can make all the difference. Here are some of the little things that you should pay particularly close attention to during an interview.

You do not want to be chewing gum or breath mints during your interview. You also don’t want to speak in slang during your interview either. It is unprofessional and rude.

Show Confidence

You cannot enter into an interview with a defeatist attitude. You cannot mope or exude too much placidity in your manner. It is not inviting, and does not give the impression of a person that you want to face every day.

Be sure of your abilities without appearing cocky or narcissistic. You want to let you interviewer know that you are equipped to perform well at your job, without alienating other workers. You should point out your accomplishments in your field while remaining somewhat humble.

List your accomplishments in a matter of fact way without going into too much detail. I know this sounds repetitive, but you can never get this point too strongly. Understand that body language plays a large part in exuding confidence to others. Sit straight. Practice good posture, and keep your head up.

Keep a Positive Attitude

You should always try to smile and keep a positive outlook during your interview. If what you are hearing something that doesn’t sound good to you, don’t frown and look disgruntled, just keep a slight smile on your face until it is time for you to say something. Then approach your interviewer with your questions or concerns when the time is appropriate.

Maintain Eye Contact

Keeping eye contact with your interviewer is very important, especially when one of you is speaking to the other. If you are looking around the room or at the items on the interviewer’s desk, you will appear uninterested. Just imagine what you would be thinking if you were speaking to him and he was looking all over the room. You would probably think that you already lost the interview.

Body Language

We’ve touched on this a little bit but you should mind some of the common errors that many people make when they are speaking to others. I’ve listed some of the common things that you should avoid when sitting through an interview.

 Avoid fidgeting while speaking to your interviewer. It shows a lack of self confidence.

 Avoid speaking while using overly expressive hand gestures. It is distracting.

 Avoid biting your lips in between sentences. It gives the impression that you are making things up.

 Do not sit with your arms crossed because it makes you appear stand-offish.

 Do not shrug your shoulders when asked a question that you are unsure of. Take a second to think of your response. Shrugging your shoulders gives the impression that you don’t know the answer.

 Don’t answer with nods and head shakes. Use your words to answer questions.

 Get plenty of sleep the night before the interview. You don’t want to yawn in front of the interviewer. He will think that you are expressing boredom.

These tips should give you a confident approach for your interview!

YOUR RESUME

A WORK OF ART

Now that we have covered the most basic elements of an impressive resume, let’s take a look at some finer points.

Your resume will be written to look appealing to the eye. This is best accomplished by keeping in mind:

 Structure looks clean and flows well.
 Very easy to read/not at all complicated.
 Easily understood with simple wording and phrases.
 Contains good overall balance.
 Not crowded/contains plenty of white space.
 Sections are concise and shorter when possible.

All formatting should be offered consistently. Not too heavy on the bolding, italics and underlining. This should only be used for best effect and not in uniformity.

Your resume will be your front line in communication. Before you meet your prospective employer, your employer will meet you via your resume.

Your resume will be error free. This means free or typo’s, improper spelling, poor grammar, lack of punctuation and no errors in facts.

Key Information Included in your Resume:

 Name
 Address
 Phone
 Email
 Positions held list
 Reverse chronological order
 Education credentials
 Degrees attained
 Targeted information as necessary

Positions Held List will Include:

 Position title
 Name of company
 City and state of company
 Years there
 Earlier held positions can be summarized
 Part time work can be excluded

Your resume will be targeted to show your suitability for the desired position. This position will be a goal you wish to achieve. You will be able to show how and why you are the best candidate for this position. Your resume will show you are uniquely qualified and should be chosen.

Your resume will contain no filler. You will only highlight your best and this will be expertly brought across by the use of strong, clear wording and phrases that are descriptive and colorful. Your resume writing will persuade and cause your employer to want to know more. You will hint at attributes, not giving out too much information. You want your employer to feel compelled to bring you in for the interview. Your resume will grab the eye through the use of design, formatting and proper balance.

Your resume will impact. The prospective employer will immediately grasp your meaning and will not feel the need to read through entirely.

Your resume will contain powerful words and statements that will convey a message of impressive credentials and experience. Show you will get the job done better than anyone else.

Write about your qualifications through clear statements about what you have accomplished. Don’t bore them with long-running lists of your potential, talents, or previous job responsibilities.

Show the exact results of your targeted accomplishments. Make good use of adjectives to show the extent of your skills and experiences. This will show you are results-oriented.

Write to be concise and keep to the point. Write sentences as short and direct as you can. Eliminate all repetitions. Don't use several examples when one example has the same impact. Avoid trying to impress by using larger words. Be as direct as possible and avoid complex sentences.

Use good variety by offering short and punchy sentences along with sentences that are longer. Don’t repeat a power verb within the same paragraph. Punctuate throughout for easy reading.

Create a work of art! Use the best supplies for your resume. Use a laser printer or an ink jet printer to produce the best results. Use a good-sized typeface (font) in 11 or 12 point. Use off-white, ivory or bright white 8 1/2 x 11-inch paper, in high quality. Submit a resume without smudges, staples and leave a generous border.

A shorter resume is often best, however, if what you need to write takes up 3 pages, then offer 3 pages. There is no hard and fast rule for resume length.

Just make certain you don't bore them with the details. Always leave them wanting to know more. Remember, you are marketing yourself and not your entire life history.

Add good variety. Break it down into sections. Your resume will contain no more than six lines of writing in any one writing section or paragraph (summary, skill section, accomplishment statement, job description, etc.) If you require more, start a new section or a new paragraph.

Submit an accurate telephone number with area code. Be sure the phone number on the resume will be answered in-person or by an answering machine, Monday through Friday, from 8-5pm. You want to be available when invited in for that important interview.

If you don't have an answering machine, buy one. Include your e-mail and fax numbers as an alternate means of reaching you.

Omit any kind of information that can be seen as being controversial, such as political affiliations.

Start each section with your most important information on the first line. This will be read the most.

Use bold caps to highlight. Your name, section headings, skill headings, titles or companies, degrees, and school name can all be written in boldface. Your name should be on top of each page of your resume.

DO NOT PUT IN YOUR RESUME

 RESUME at the top of the your resume
 Flowery "objective" statements
 Salary information
 Addresses of former employers
 Why you left your previous jobs
 The names of supervisors
 Detailed references

ONLY THE FACTS

While you definitely want to sell yourself, you want to do this honestly. Do not inflate the truth to put yourself in a better light. You will need to be able to back up all claims about yourself.

CAREER CHANGES

Career Changes Can Be Emotionally Trying
by: Eric Lynch



Ever feel like you’ve hurt your chances of getting a job interview because you’ve changed careers in the past? Multiple career changes used to raise some real big red flags to prospective employers.

But nowadays, it’s completely normal to have more than one career change. Interestingly enough, most career changes aren’t about getting rich. Most are about getting happy.

Marci Albhoer is the author of One Person/Multiple Careers: A New Model for Work/Life Success. If you took note of the slashes in the title of her book, there’s a good reason for them: she calls the multiple career path “the slash effect.”

Marci was a corporate lawyer who was extremely successful. And extremely miserable. She wanted desperately to become a writer instead. But as she found out, it’s very difficult to leave a very high-paying job that you’ve had for a long time.

In an interview with Time Magazine’s blog, Marci shared a bit of her dilemma…

"it’s really hard to leave a job you’re trained for, rewarded for and perform well. A friend told her, 'I can’t believe you’re so good at a job you hate so much.'"

Marci isn’t alone out there. Those with high-paying jobs can be every bit as miserable as those who make less money. In some cases, it can be even worse.

If you’ve made the mistake of allowing your lifestyle to rise to match your income (house, cars, and the accompanying payment obligations), you can feel trapped into keeping a job you hate. It’s either stay miserable and keep your overpriced toys, or downsize and take a job you’d be happier doing.

And as you’ve heard me say before, and I’ll say again - you’ll never be happy in your career until you figure out what skills you enjoy spending your 8-hour days using. And that takes a lot of prayer and introspection. Maybe even some career counseling with some wise elders or pastors that you trust.

I fully believe God uses our job satisfaction (or lack thereof) to steer us where he wants us to go. And he certainly can do so as often as he likes. So don’t feel bad if you’re a “career slasher.” Life is too short to dread going to work every day. Find out what your maker put you on this planet to do. Then do it to His glory.

TIME MANAGEMENT

What Type Of Time Manager Are You Now?

Often, you can see where your problems in time management lie by taking a close look at yourself right now. The way that you do things now can often be your ticket to improving your situation into the future. But, how can you accomplish this?

You need to find a way to actually record what you do each day. This may be small things or larger things, but it all needs to be accumulated and used to construct a plan of action.

A good place to start is with your average work day since this is often the largest chunk of anyone's life. Pick a day and explore it. Through this chapter, we will show you how you can see where your time management problems really lie so that you can fix them and overcome them so that the end result is successful time management.

Your Possible Time Drains

If you think of time management as being a small hole in which grains of sand pass through, you need to determine what is allowing them to pass through.

There are many things that seem small and insignificant that really will add up to being a potential problem for most people. Here are some of these things that you need to take into consideration.

•How much of your time do you spend reading email, reading an online news report, checking out the sports games from the night before and finding out who is online at any given time?

•How much time do you spend eating lunch, getting a drink or making a cup of coffee for yourself?

•How much time does it take you to get into the place you work? For example, do you need to stop and chat with friends and colleagues first, greet the boss, check your mail, grab the newspaper, etc….?

•How much time do you spend working that is really being spent on things other than work?

Consider all of the things, small things too, that are potential drains on your time and your work load?

You may see clearly how easily it is for these small things to overcome the larger elements. In fact, all of these small things are so insignificant you may not remember doing them which means even more of your time is drained.

Now, flip this around. How much actual time, minutes and hours, do you put into actually doing your work? Actually working, that is.

You may be very surprised to learn just how much of your day is considered to be doing things that are unimportant, unrelated to work or even just simply a wasted time. You may be appalled by the way in which you really spend your days.

Time of Day Drains

Another common problem for those that are wasting time is that of the time of day. For example, for many individuals, the time of the day that they are in is the reason that they struggle to accomplish tasks. A good example is after lunch time. You are sleepy and tied, generally from having a full stomach and a tired mind. You are less likely to be successful at any task that you complete at this time of the day and that may be frustrating enough that you simply stop working during this time making it even worse on you altogether.

Consider what time of day is your draining point.

eResume

WRITING AN ELECTRONIC RESUME An Electronic Resume will not be read by an employer until it has, first, been scanned by a computer. More and more, employers are opting for this method of finding the best candidate for their position.

Even when your qualifications are especially good, and you are very confident that you are the best candidate for the position, unless your resume meets with the standard in formatting, your resume will *not* reach the employer’s desk. Those that are not aware of how to format an Electronic Resume, even with stellar qualifications, will never be called in for that important interview.

Below are the elements necessary to meet the Electronic Resume standard:

Write using Nouns and not Verbs -- Nouns are the dominant words in a scannable resume. Use descriptive words such as bookkeeping, supervisor and Pratt & Lambert.

Use of Descriptors -- Use keywords such as education, skill-set, experience, talents and abilities. These are the words employers look for when wanting to fill a position. Use plenty of keywords. The more, the better!

Fancy is Out -- Scan able resumes are very conservatively written. Do not decorate and do not use uncommon typefaces. Use only white or beige paper, do not underline and do not use italics.

Use Simple Design -- The computer will read text and not graphics. Anything that is complex, such as tables and leader dots, should be excluded.

Avoid Abbreviations -- With the exception of very common abbreviations, such as, BA (Bachelor of Arts,) use full terms.

Write your Name First and then your Contact Info on a Separate Line

Make Good use of White Space -- Leave ample space between sections for the computer to pick up that one section has ended and another has started.

Write using Proper Language -- Use common words that all people will understand.

Three to Four Page Resume is Acceptable -- The hard and fast “one-page” resume rule no longer applies. Electronic resumes run 3-4 pages in length.
A separate section of this ebook will be devoted to a variety of different resume types and formats. This will give you full creative licensee to select what suits you best. Getting the basics down first, though, is every bit as important as the final product that you will create using this ebook.

The more creative that you will be in writing about yourself, your credentials, your experience and everything else of importance to a prospective employer, the better.

This next section will deal with the *why and where for* in writing specific information in a variety of ways. There will be something of interest here for everyone.

GOAL SETTING

Goal Setting Defined

Goal setting is not something to just think about. It is an effective time management tool used by many advanced business professionals, athletes and those that are successfully running their lives and fulfilling their dreams. You can achieve the same benefits if you learn how to successfully record your goals.

Goals should be established for both the long and the short term. This will allow you to see what you are working towards in the future while still helping you to see the path to getting there in the short term. They work as strong motivation and guidance to help you to achieve anything that you want to.

Goals also help you to put one foot in front of the other so that you know what knowledge you need to gain, what steps you need to take and how you need to organize your time to achieve those goals. Goals can do much more for you as well. For example, when used correctly, you can use them to help you to increase your productivity and that will help to increase your overall self confidence. You are able to see what you are capable of accomplishing more clearly than ever before.

To begin, start with listing your long term goals on each of the following target areas. Then, you will work on breaking them down in how you can achieve each area.

Work out goals for: Attitude and mindset, Career, Educational goals, Family goals, pleasure goals, Physical goals, financial goals, Charity or public service goals and other areas that are important to you.

Once you have worked out all of the large, long term goals you have, break this down so that it is in clear, 25 year then 10 year then one year brackets, all of which provide you with a clear understanding of where you are heading.

Writing Effective Goals
One key to success in goals is learning how to write them effectively. You can do this by working out the details of each goal that you have and then writing them on paper in a clear way. Here are some tips to help you to accomplish this.

1. Be positive in your goal writing.
2. Be as detailed as possible in the writing of the goal.
3. Set a timeframe from which you will complete the goal specifically.
4. When you have more than one goal, you must set a priority level.
5. Be sure that your goals allow you to achieve them by your performance.
6. Be realistic, frank and honest with yourself.
7. Get them written down on paper so that you can display them and see them
often.

THE PURPOSE OF YOUR RESUME

Your resume is an important tool that communicates all about YOU. When it does the job right, you win an interview.

Your resume doesn't simply provide a prospective employer with your work history. It speaks loud and clear that you have the credentials needed to be a complete success in this new position or career.

Your resume will attract immediate attention. The reader will want to pick it up and read it top to bottom. Interest will be stimulated. An interview will be arranged.

Your resume will contain:

 Your contact information, i.e. name, address, phone, email address, website address.

 A defined job objective.

 A work history.

 Educational history.

 Affiliations.

 References.
Your resume will be written using professional grade printing and paper.

RESUME PRESENTATION IS KEY

An employer can have hundreds of boring resumes to pour through. This means when something catches the eye, it must really pop out!

Your resume must impress within the first important seconds or it will not impress at all. Employers will quickly scan all resumes and then grab for those that catch their eye best.

To write a really effective resume, you will use powerful statements that will impress. This is very important, but, you do not want to oversell! There is a very fine line here and you will learn all about it.

Above all, you will make honest statements about yourself. They will be strong statements and 100% true, or they will not be effective at all.

Just as you would sell any product that you believe strongly in, you will learn to sell the product that is you! Once you have learned to do this, you will find that you will get a better response from a prospective employer than other prospects do and even those with better credentials. It is all in how you market your product!

WOW THE EMPLOYER

First of all, who are you writing this resume for? Your prospective employer will be the one who oversees the day to day operations of the company you want to join.

They make the hiring decisions and they are entirely invested in ensuring that you are the right one for the job. This person will care about whether or not you can do a good job for that company and so this is the one you are writing your resume for.

You want to be sure that you are the right candidate for the job. You want to be sure you know everything there is to know about this company. You want to understand exactly, which qualities are needed to be the right candidate for this job.

You want to be sure you are not a good candidate for this job, but, that you are the best candidate for this job.

Time to start writing

This is the time to put pen to paper and to lay out clearly what your prospective employer is looking for in an ideal candidate. You need to be able to solidify what it is that you bring to the table, even before you begin.

Jot down every fine point about your training and experience, your unique characteristics, special talents, even your attitude -- everything that shows you most qualified for the job you seek.

If you are new to the job market, be creative and draw on your upbringing, life exposure and anything that can account for your unique experience and qualities.

You will begin to be able to connect the dots during this process. Simple statements will turn into sentences and sentences into paragraphs. Keep this information in a safe place. You will use it later to be incorporated into your finished product.
