Check my previous thread for update and enjoy today's diet; happy reading.

Taking the interview challenge

A survey conducted by a staffing and consulting firm based in California which corresponded with 1,400 chief financial officers concluded that candidates for employment made most of their mistakes on their interviews. Some of the mistakes they made include:

-arriving late,
-having little knowledge about the company and the position applied for,
-having a superiority complex and
-behaving arrogantly.

The body language of the applicant must also denote that he is confident yet not overpowering.

He must maintain:
-eye contact,
-have a strong handshake, and
-avoid looking defensive by the act of crossing the arms.

Wearing the right clothes is crucial for projecting a confident stance. As they say, it is better to go to an interview over-dressed than being under-dressed.

I believe these added tips will improve your performance as you continue your preparations for job interviews; however, getting invited is even more crucial in the first instance. Well, do not be overwhelmed yet; you will get there. We'll go through these itemized issues above before dwelling on how best to get INVITED for interviews.

Let's dive into today's point/tip:


Answer questions smartly

A common mistake of interviewees is that they tend to get tense and forget the questions that are given to them, which has the effect that they are not prepared for the interview.

It is important to research about the company and the position applied for to prevent being side-tracked during the interview.

If you do not know the answer to the questions being asked, it is better to admit you don't know the answer to the question and add that you can research about it.

Look for the skills or expertise that the company is looking for so that when interview day comes and the interviewer asks about your strengths and core competencies, you will be able to match it to what they need.

Have a great day.

Getting the necessary referrals

Having a referral from one of the company employees can go a long way toward landing an interview.

A typical company may receive job applications in the hundreds and usually 35% to 60% of all job vacancies are filled by referrals.

The odds of getting hired when you have a referral are very high if you have another 200 to 500 applicants vying for the same position.

If you do not know anyone from the company that may give you a referral, it is a good idea to the alumni network of your college, trade groups, social networks, and professional associations.

Remember, having a referral greatly increases your chances of getting the position.

This has nothing to do with unqualified applicants wanting a job. Rather it is a recommendation from a trusted source and most of the time it saves the recruiting organisation all the stress and cost of recruitment.

I will love to hear your opinions on all I've said above.

Today, I'm going to post some key issues to consider in getting that dream job

If you have been following like Evergreen; then have a sip of these further tips:



On online application

With the current trend of technology and its merging with business processes, more and more companies are now requiring prospective applicants to submit their application online. Thus, first impressions are relayed not by your first appearance but by the quality and content of your e-mail. E-mails regarding job application should be polished and well-articulated. When applying on-line, use the following tips:

Complete your sentences and do not abbreviate.

Employers do not like when you send them application letters that seem to be too casual. It is important to make a letter that is both formal and well written. This gives a good impression regarding your capabilities and skills.

Get directly to the point

When writing an application letter, you must be concise and straightforward. Do not put a story on the letter just to get the attention of the employer, chances are he or she will just get irritated with you and this only reduces your chances of getting hired.

Consider potential issues that may hinder you from getting the job

Although there are instances wherein there is a lot of need for a job but the requirements for the position may entail training programs that may bar you from getting the position due to its highly competitive nature. Some require a lot of experience even at least 3 years of work experience. Some may have no barriers to entry but the job itself may entail a very routine work flow.

Getting the job you want may be a challenge but never lose hope. It is better to wait a while and get the job that you will enjoy rather than get a job as soon as possible but ending up dissatisfied and unhappy. Make the right decision then act on it.
