Interviewing

“We simply assume that the way we see things is the way they really are or the way they should be. And our attitudes and behaviors grow out of these assumptions.” By Stephen Covey Like many people before me, I went to college, graduated and found myself looking for a much needed career. I submitted literally [...]

Interview DOs Dress appropriately for the industry; err on the side of being conservative to show you take the interview seriously. Your personal grooming and cleanliness should be impeccable. Know the exact time and location of your interview; know how long it takes to get there, park, find a rest room to freshen up, etc. Arrive early; 10 minutes prior to the interview start time. Treat

Before Interviewing for an Internship or Job -- Do Research on the Web If you’ve answered an ad for an internship or job and then been offered an interview, you need to do research BEFORE the meeting. Of course you probably won’t be able to research exactly what you might be doing if you got the internships or job. That kind of information will hopefully be provided at the interview. What you can research is information about what the company does and, more importantly, if there are any possible connections to you. By possible connections I mean the kinds of things that create rapport in an interview, because employers like to hire and work with people they like. And if there are 10 equally qualified applicants, and one applicant has a special connection to the hiri

Interviewing at Jet BlueHowdy,I'm interviewing with Jet Blue this Friday. Anyone out there have anything you think I should know? This is my first and hopefully last interview after leaving the military. Thanks![rforbess]========================The gouge out there is pretty accurate.

Very few techincal questions and no sim ride. Lastly, its been stated that: "The JetBlue person is one who embraces the values.." Just keep that in mind while interviewing and you will be good to go, it is very low str

Today's BLR HR Daily Advisor is entitled, "Help, They Made Me a Supervisor — 9 Disastrous Mistakes New Supervisors Make.": Pity the new supervisor. Sometimes they do the wrong thing, because they think they have to do something, and sometimes they do nothing when it's critical to do something. We'll cover nine typical types of trouble they get into today. 1. Hiring Hiring gets to be second nature after a while, but it's a tricky matter at first. Overeager new supervisors think they should find out all they can about the candidate, but don't realize that many questions are off limits—questions about race, religion, disability, and marital and family status, among others. The fact is that many interview questions may seem innocuous enough, but may create serious discrimination pr

I'm heading out the door right now to interview double bassist Virginia Dixon.  Folks unfamiliar with this well-known Suzuki double bass pedagogue should check out Stan Haskin's excellent series about her work with young bassists.  This should prove to be a very interesting interview and a valuable addition to the virtual library of content being created for the Contrabass Conversations project. I have been doing an interview nearly every day over the past week, and my vat of unpublished bass content is bursting at the seams, so expect a steady diet of new and interesting double bass interviews, performances, and videos in the coming days, as well as some new crazy gig stories from your truly. I've had some very weird gigs recently....that's always a sure sign that it's time to sit down with the laptop, coffee in hand, and begin pounding out some new material. subscribe to the blog - subscribe to the podcast - advertise Get shirts, hats, bags, mug

What can you do to set yourself apart in your interview? The most important aspect of successful interviewing is not your experience, your degree or your resume. That’s what got you the interview. The key to successful interviewing can be summed up in one word: passion. It’s your passion for the job that will set you apart from the crowd. How can you demonstrate your passion in the interview? Though your enthusiasm for the job and behavioral examples of how your passion has had a positive impact on results. If you can show me, in your words, actions and past behaviors, that you have true passion toward achieving excellence, you can and will be chosen over the superstar. Let your passion for the job show through in every aspect of your interview.

This is what a top-level Talent Agent had to say recently about this question:"The process is simple. First, I always meet one on one with potential clients. This gives me a chance to really get to know the person. If that goes well, I ask the actor to come back and meet the other agents. It's essential that everyone be in agreement. One agent should never try to convince the others to sign someone.And that's basically it. The only problem is actors tend to be their own worst enemy. Believe it or not, actors seeking representation are always convincing me NOT to sign them. Pretty depressing, right?I'm always amazed by how much effort actors put into getting a meeting with me but none of you ever know how to behave once you're actually in my office.Before we tackle this subject, let's make something clear. I want to like you. It's my job to sign actors and if you're sitting in my office, that means you did something right. Maybe I noticed your submission. Maybe someone referred y

By Marie RokerAnyone who is a jobseeker knows that looking for a new job or career is a job in itself. Once you have completed the laborious task of writing your resume and submitting it to various companies, you now have to pass the screen test to get the job. Interviews are the gateway to landing your ideal job. These five tips will help you get own your way to making that job yours.Tip 1: Be ConfidentYour first impression is your only impression.Nothing is worse than a limp handshake, slumped shoulders, poor eye contact or poor communication skills. A potential employer can tell immediately if you are the man or woman for this job by your body language. Although aggressiveness is a turn-off, being passive gives the indication that you are not sure of yourself or your qualifications. Keep eye contact when answering questions or when the interviewer is speaking directly to you. Smile occasionally to show your interest and enthusiasm. Keeping a steady gaze on the interviewer can be dis

• Develop Your Lines.   In an interview, an inability to express yourself clearly is worse than a lack of experience.  Practice!  Be ready! • Use 3 x 5 Index Cards.   Have written down: o The main reason the employer would want to hire you. o What you have to offer in the way of experience, credentials, and personality. o At least two key accomplishments [...]

A friend of mine, who works for a solutions provider, (Have solutions providers got anything to do with IT? Ed) was interviewing someone for a Business Analyst position the other day. This was one of those horrible telephone interviews and lasted an hour. Eventually the interviewer wound up the interview and had already decided that the interviewee wasn’t suitable for the position.  The interviewer wasn’t convinced by this persons CV in the first place but was persuaded by someone else at the solutions provider company to interview the person. I think the reason to interview was because he had a non-threatening CV, whatever that is. And the reason the interviewee failed the interview? He had no IT experience at all. How does a Business Analyst have no IT experience? Surely he is some kind of user. That would definitely explain why he had a non-threatening CV, he knew no IT speak and therefore his CV was completely devoid of it.  When the solutions provider company&rsqu

What I love about technology and communications is how for me it seems dedicated to the recruitment industry. Since I started using a computer it has always aided my role as a consultant. Although the technology and the Internet has speeded the process for us recruiters, I certainly feel it has taken something away from the role. I loved the physical face to face of interviewing candidates, where one could build a unique and long lasting rapport with your candidate. An email and phone conversation just doesn’t seem to have quite the same appeal some how. Speed has taken over and it’s down to how fast the CV/Resume is sent by one click of the mouse. Well now maybe I have seen a glimpse of the future for our industry after watching this video from Robert on the new Tele-Presence system from Cisco. I can certainly see corporate companies using this to interview candidates and it certainly will make it easier to get a panel interview together. For me I just hope it gets us back

When was the last time you went on a job interview? I went to an interview this week and sat in front of 4 people who all had questions for me. They were not the traditional questions about my strengths and weaknesses. No way. They were behavioral questions that asked me to explain "How" I solved a problem or to "Tell" them about a time when …. I was asked to tell about a time "I went the extra mile" or "When I attempted something and it failed" Prior to the interview I did my research and found a link to behavioral interview questions. This site www.pohly.com/interview-3.html had a list of questions that helped me to focus on my past performance at various jobs and decide where and how I applied my skills. Here are a handful of questions from this page: Describe a situation when you or a group that you were a part of were in danger of missing a deadline. What did you do?Tell me about a time when you worked with a person who did things ver
