Job Interviews

It has oft been stated that "First impressions are lasting impressions". So is it with job interviews and the employment interview screening process. Once a first impression is created it is more than difficult if not impossible to shake off or change those series of first impressions once created. It is as if you are being packaged for a sale - in this case the final product is yourself - looking

"Almost everyone is guilty of bad sexual conduct." "I must admit that I am a pretty fair talker." "I never get hungry." "I know who is responsible for most of my troubles." "If the pay was right, I'd travel with the carnival." "I would have been more successful if nobody would have snitched on me." "My legs are really hairy.&qu

On a visit to Chicago I had the opportunity to read the Chicago Tribune’s “Ask Amy” March 16th column in which Amy Dickinson addresses the problems of a small deli owner who can’t hire good help. The deli owner’s complaints: “People show up wearing short tops baring their midriff, and rings in their noses, eyebrows, lips and bellybuttons. They often have very poor hygiene.” His complaints also included the taking and making of personal calls at work or checking cellphones every 10 minutes. Then on March 17th The Wall Street Journal had a careers article by Carol Hymowitz entitled “Executives Teach Inmates How to Be Employees.” The article described how Mark Goldsmith, a former executive at Revlon and Shiseido, in 2005 launched nonprofit Getting Out and Staying Ou

Yesterday, we took a look at some general dos and don'ts to keep in mind when conducting job interviews. Today, we'll delve a little deeper on the same topic, and examine some unconscious stereotypes that can unwittingly taint the interview process The following are some examples of general stereotypes that could unintentionally pervade an interview and create liability problems under the employment discrimination laws: Stereotypes in the advertising for candidates (i.e., "young grad"). Applicant's appearance makes him/her seem unable to do the job. Not hiring or promoting married women because they are not "primary earners". Refusing to hire or promote pregnant women, unwed mothers, or women with pre-school age children. Minimum height and weight requirements. People wit

Skill emphasis during the interview is important to show the employer what makes you different from all the other job candidates. In this competitive world, companies search for the most qualified employees by weighing skills of the candidates and determining how they would benefit the company.Majority of the top companies search for employers who stands out based from their expertise, ability to give new developments, and pleasing personalities that would enhance the organization.Skills are grouped into three kinds �" knowledge-based, transferable, and personal traits.1) Knowledge-based skills are those learned from experiences. These may include educational attainment, additional training, seminars attended, and other practices that you have studied to enhance your expertise.Knowledge-

How dare you?! Put your underwear back on! THIS IS A FAMILY BLOG!!!(Sorry, folks, I'm drowning in work again, so I'm hiring a secretary, but all the candidates seem to have misunderstood the “certain skills required” demand.)

1. Use a normal email address. Don't use anything cutesy or annoying, like MyButtStinks@gmail.com (not a real address of an applicant). If you do, you're automatically put on the bottom of my list. Your e-mail address says a lot about who you think you are and I'm not hiring you if your butt stinks so badly that you want the whole world to know it.2. Follow instructions. When I ask you to bring your resume with references to the interview, bring your resume. With references. Don't show up without your resume. You will not get the job.3. Spell check your resume. If I see words like "experence," "wrok," or "universaty" on your resume, you will not get the job. (I'm guessing you didn't read the part of the ad that said "Attention to detail required.")4. Use common sense. If you don't follow instructions (see #2) and thus drive into the wrong parking lot, don't call me from your cell phone and say, "You said I need to drive over the teeth, but that means I need to drive on the wron

If you were to ask yourself what type of person a prospective employer is looking for, what would be the answer? Good personality? Effective communicator? Dynamic? Knowledgeable? If you answered yes to any or all of these questions then you are right. Now, sit back and take a look at yourself and ask yourself if you meet these criteria. Are you a dynamic, energetic effective communicator with a good personality? Are you knowledgeable in the areas affected by the position? If you cannot answer these questions positively, then you need to make some changes. Why Change The main reason you want to change is so that when you go for an interview, you are not sitting there like a bump on a log waiting for the next question. Instead, you should be asking questions, showing your knowledge and skills and involving the interviewer in stimulating conversation. How do you change? There are many ways you can go about changing but lots of us do not have thousands of dollars to put out for classes.

Hehe.

Since no two interviews are alike, it is difficult to be prepared for what lies ahead, but you can focus on your presentation skills, which may be even more important than what you have to say.
