DO YOU REALLY NEED A JOB?
If your answer is capital YES, ensure you read through this TRUTH.
It’s both easy and understandable to want to blame the job market for an extended bout of unemployment, but you do yourself a disservice if you aren’t also willing to consider that you are contributing to your dilemma. It’s easy to get frustrated with job hunting and conduct your search in a stale, half-hearted manner. If you continue to do what you’ve always done—network the same way, send out the same resume and cover letter, and use the same group of contacts over and over again—without much success, it may be time to change your approach.
Most people could not get job because of what I call JOB SEARCH INSANITY meaning " doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
Conducting a successful job search takes both skill and art. For you to get a job, you must really prepared. How prepared are you for the job you are looking for? One who fail to plan is definitely planning to fail. REMEMBER, you don't plan at the battle field or war - front .
Help me answer the following questions:
* Do you have a job - winning resume that can get you interview or invitation to a screening test?
* Do you know how to write cover letter that can grab employers or recruiters attention?
* Do you really know what employers are looking for before they hire you?
* Do you really need a job or you are simply playing game with yourself?
* Do you know how to sell yourself to a potential Employer?
REMEMBER "Nothing is more terrible than ignorance in action." IF YOUR ANSWER IS NO TO ALL THOSE QUESTIONS ABOVE, THEN READ FURTHER OTHERWISE STOP.
To help you achieve your dream of securing a job of your choice in no time, this SEMINAR is packaged for you.

Hi guys, let me shed more light on this discussion. PDMS is a powerful modelling software but much more, you must have better understanding of piping design as well as piping layout b4 u can effectively use it for piping . Also, some knowledge of HVAC calculation and duct design. Piping designers work most on layout of piping as well as its associated process equipment within a process plant while piping engineers work on piping materials selection, pipe sizing, stress analysis calculations, production of piping design documents such as unit plot plan, isometric drawing, 3D modeling drawing using PDS, PDMS etc. For you to be a piping engineer or piping designer, you need more fundamental knowledge than just PDMS.

REASONS WHY JOB - SEEKERS FAIL AT INTERVIEW
1. Arrives late to the interview: First impressions really do count
and they are remembered for a long time. Arrive late and you’ve made one of the worst impressions possible! Indeed, regardless of what you say or do during the interview, you may never recover from this initial mistake. Employers wonder, “Will you also come to work late?”
2. Makes a bad impression in the waiting area: Treats receptionists
and secretaries as inferiors - individuals who may have important input into the hiring process when later asked by the employer “What was your impression of this candidate?” Caught reading frivolous materials, such as People Magazine, in the waiting area when company reports and related literature were readily
available for perusal.
3. Offers stupid excuses for behaviour: Excuses are usually red flags
indicating that a person is unwilling to take responsibility and do the work. Here’s a killer excuse for arriving late for a job interview:
‘I got lost because your directions weren’t very clear. ” Goodbye! Here are
some other classic excuses heard during job interviews:
* I forgot.
* It wasn’t my fault.
* It was a bad company.
* M y boss was a real jerk.
* The college wasn’t very good.
* I can’t remember why I did that.
* N o one there appreciated my work.
* I didn’t have time to visit your website.
4. Presents a poor appearance and negative image: Dresses
inappropriately for the interview - under-dresses or over-dresses for the
position. The interviewee may choose poor quality clothing, select
inappropriate colours, or put them together poorly. He or she may need to learn some basic grooming habits, from haircut and style to makeup and nails, or undergo a major makeover.
5. Expresses bad, negative, and corrosive attitudes: Tends to be
negative, overbearing, extremely aggressive, cynical, and opinionated
to the extreme. Expresses intolerance and strong prejudices toward others. Complains a lot about everything and everybody. such chronic complainers are known as kvetchen. Indicates a possible caustic personality that will not fit in well with the company. Regardless of how talented this person may be,
unless he works in a cell by himself, he’ll probably be fired within two months for having a bad attitude that pollutes the office and lowers morale.
6. Engages in inappropriate and unexpected behaviours for an interview situation: Shows off scars, tattoos, muscles, or pictures
of family. Flirts with the interviewer. Possibly an exhibitionist who
may also want to date the boss and harass co-workers.

7. Appears somewhat incoherent and unfocused: Tends to offer
incomplete thoughts, loses focus, and jumps around to unrelated ideas. Hard to keep a focused conversation going. Incoherent thought processes indicate a possible attention problem.
8. Inarticulate.: Speaks poorly, from sound of voice and diction to
grammar, vocalized pauses, and jargon. Uses lots of “you know,”
“ah, ” “like, ” “okay, ” and “well” fillers. Expresses a low-class street
language - “cool, ” “damn, ” “?man, ” “wow. ” Not a good candidate for
using the telephone or interacting with clients. Appears verbally illiterate. Writing is probably similar in quality.
9. Gives short and incomplete answers to questions: Tends to
respond to most questions with “Yes, ” “No, “Maybe, ” or ‘I'm not
sure' ,w hen the interviewer expects more in-depth answers. Appears
shallow and indicates a lack of substance, initiative, interest, and
enthusiasm.
10. Lacks a sense of direction: Appears to have no goals or apparent
objectives. When asked “Where do you see yourself five or ten years
from now?, ’’ has difficulty coming up with an answer or patronizes
the interviewer by saying “With you!” Just looking for a paycheck
rather than pursuing a passion.

11. Appears ill or has a possible undisclosed medical condition:
Looks pale, glassy-eyed, gaunt, or yellow. Coughs, sneezes, and
sounds terrible. Talks about her upcoming surgery - within six weeks of starting the job!
12. Volunteers personal information that normally would be
illegal or inappropriate to ask: Candidate makes interviewer feel
uncomfortable by talking about religion, political affiliation, age ,
family, divorce, sexual orientation, or physical and mental health.
13. Emits bad or irritating smells: Wow! The candidate reels of
excessive perfume, cologne, or shaving lotion - could kill mosquitos.
Can smell smoke or alcohol on breath. Strong body order indicates personal hygiene problems. Has bad breath throughout the interview, which gets cut short for an unexplained reason!
14. Shows little enthusiasm, drive, or initiative: Appears to be just
looking for a job and a pay check. Tends to be passive and indifferent.
No evidence of being a self-starter who takes initiative and solves problems on his own. Not sure what motivates this person other than close supervision. Indeed, he’ll require lots of supervision or we’ll have an employee with lots of play-time on his hands, or the job will expand to fill the time allotted. He’ll become the “job guy’’ who always says “I did my job just like you told me, ” but not much beyond what’s assigned. Don’t expect much from this
person, who will probably be overpaid for what he produces.
15. Lacks confidence and self-esteem: Seems unsure of self, nervous,
and ill at ease. Lacks decisiveness in making decisions. Communicates
uncertainty with such comments as “I don’t know, ” “Maybe, ”
“I 'm not sure, ” “Hadn ’t really thought of that, ” “Interesting question, ”
“I’ll have to think about that,” or redirects with the question “Well,
what do you think?”
16. Appears too eager or hungry for the job: Is overly enthusiastic,
engages in extreme flattery, and appears suspiciously nervous.
Early in the interview, before learning about the company or job, makes such comments as “I really like it here, ” “This must be a great place to work, ” “I love your products, ” “I need this job, ” “Is there overtime?,
” “What are you paying?, ” “Do you have medical and dental
insurance?”, or “How many vacation days would I get?”
17. Communicates dishonesty or deception: Uses canned interview
language, skirts probing questions, and appears disingenuous.
Looks like a tricky character who has things to hide and thus will
probably be sneaky and deceptive on the job.
18. Feels too smooth and superficial: Dresses nicely, has a firm
handshake and good eye contact, answers most questions okay,
and appears enthusiastic - just like the books tell job seekers to
do. When asked more substantive “What if’ and behaviour-based
questions, or requested to give examples of specific accomplishments,
the candidate seems to be caught off balance, stumbles with incomplete answers, and starts sweating. Can’t put one’s finger on the problem, but the gut reaction is that this role-playing candidate is very superficial, demonstrating little depth beyond general answers to some well coached interview questions. He will probably end up being the “dressed for success” and “coached for
the interview” employee from hell!
19. Appears evasive when asked about possible problems with
background: Gives elusive answers to red flag questions about
poor grades, changes in major, time gaps, and excessive number of
jobs. Such answers raise questions about the interviewee’s honesty,
credibility, sense of responsibility, and overall behaviour. Indicates
a possible negative behaviour pattern that needs further investigation.
On second thought, don’t waste time investigating such candidates - they are usually more trouble than they are worth.
20. Speaks negatively of previous employers and co-workers:
When asked why he left previous employers, usually responds by
bad-mouthing them. Has little good to say about others who apparently were not as important as this candidate. Indicates a strong sense of self-esteem but a bad attitude toward most people he works with. This attitude probably also extends to customers!

2 1. Maintains poor eye contact.: At least in most part of the world, eye contact is an indication of trustworthiness and attention. Individuals
with poor eye contact, especially those with “shifty eyes,” are often
judged as untrustworthy - they have something to hide. Having too little or too much eye contact during the interview gives off mixed messages about what you are saying. Worst of all, it may make the interviewee feel uncomfortable in your presence.
22. Offers a limp or overly firm handshake: Interviewers often get
two kinds of handshakes from candidates - the wimps and the bone-crushers. Your initial handshake may say something about your personality. Candidates offering a cold, wet, and limp handshake often come across as fishes or corpses! Bone-crushers may appear too aggressive and well coached.
23. Shows little interest in the company: Indicates he didn’t do
much research, since he knows little about the company and didn’t
have time to check out the company’s website or even read some
company literature which was readily available while he sat in the
waiting area for over 15 minutes. Asks this killer question: “What
do you do here?” Goodbye, again!
24. Talks about salary and benefits early in the interview: Rather
than try to learn more about the company and position as well as
demonstrate her value, the candidate seems preoccupied with
salary and benefits by bringing them up within the first 15 minutes
of the interview. Shows little interest in the job or employer
beyond the compensation package. When the interviewee prematurely
starts to talk about compensation, red flags go up again - this is a self-centered candidate who is not really interested in doing the job or advancing a career.
25. Is discourteous, ill-mannered, and disrespectful: Arrives for the
interview a half hour late with no explanation or a phone call
indicating a problem on route. Just sits and waits for the interviewer
to ask questions. Picks up things on the interviewer’s desk. Bites nails and picks nose during the interview. Challenges the interviewer’s ideas. Closes the interview without thanking the interviewer for the opportunity to interview for the job. Not even going to charm and etiquette school would help this insensitive and thoughtless candidate!
26. Tells inappropriate jokes and laughs a lot: Attempts at humor
bomb - appears to be a smart ass who likes to laugh at his own jokes. Comes across as an irritating clown who says stupid and silly things. Will need to frequently put this one out to pasture to keep him away from other employees who don’t share such humor.
2 7. Talks too much: Can’t answer a question without droning on and
on with lots of irrelevant talk. Volunteers all kinds of information,
including interesting but sensitive personal observations and gossip, the interviewer neither needs nor wants. Doesn’t allow when to shut up. Would probably waste a lot of valuable work time talking, talking, and talking and thus irritating others at work. Seems to need lots of social strokes through talk which she readily initiates .
28. Drops names to impress the interviewer: Thinks the interviewer
will be impressed with a verbal Rolodex of whom he knows.
But interviewers tend to be put off with such candidates who, instead, appear insecure, arrogant, and patronizing - three deadly sins that may shorten your interview from 45 minutes to 15 minutes!
29. Appears needy and greedy: Talks a lot about financial needs and
compensation. When discussing salary, talks about his personal financial situation, including debts and planned future purchases, rather than what the job is worth and what value he will bring to the job. Seems to expect the employer is interested in supporting his lifestyle, which may be a combination of irresponsible financial behaviour, failing to plan, living beyond his pay grade, and having bad luck. This line of talk indicates he probably has debilitating
financial problems that go far beyond the salary level of this job.
Not interested in supporting his needs or high cost habits.
30. Closes the interview by just leaving: How you close the
interview may determine whether or not you will be invited back
to another interview or offered the job. Most interviewees fail to
properly close interviews. A proper close should include these six
elements:
* Indicate you are indeed interested in the job - if you are.
* Summarize what you see as your major strengths and possible future contributions to the company.
* Thank the interviewer for his or her time.
* Ask when they plan to make the final hiring decision.
* Shake hands and say, “I hope to hear from you soon. Would it be okay to call you next week?”
* Leave with a smile on your face and a spring to your step - positive body language as you exit.
NOTE:
Never ever close the interview with this rather stupid and presumptuous
closing prior to being offered the job: “So when can I start?)) This question will finish off the interview and your candidacy - you’re back to being needy and greedy! Also, don’t play the hard-to-get pressure game, even if it’s true, by stating, “I Nail the Job Interview! have another interview this week. When can I expect to hear from you?”
One other critical element to this close: send a nice thank you letter within 24 hours in which you again express your appreciation for the interview and your interest in the job.
31. Fails to talk about accomplishments: Candidate concentrates on
explaining work history as primarily consisting of assigned duties
and responsibilities. When asked to give examples of her five major accomplishments in her last jobs, doesn’t seem to understand the question, gives little evidence of performance, or reverts once again to discussing formal duties and responsibilities. When probed further for accomplishments, can’t really say much and feels uncomfortable about this line of questioning.
32. Does not ask questions about the job or employer. When
asked “Do you have any questions?, ” replies “No” or “You’ve covered
everything. ” Asking questions is often more important than answering
questions. When you ask thoughtful questions, you emphasize your interest in the employer and job as well as indicate your intelligence - qualities employers look for in candidates.
33. Appears self-centered rather than employer-centered: This will
become immediately apparent by the direction of the answers and
questions coming from the interviewee. If they primarily focus on
benefits to the interviewee, the candidate will tend to be self centered.
For example, a candidate who frequently uses “I” when talking about himself and the job may be very self-centered. On the other hand, the candidate who talks about “we” and ‘you’’ is usually more employer-oriented. Contrast these paired statements about the job and compensation: What would I be doing in this position? What do you see us achieving over the next six months?
or What would I be making on this job? What d o you normally pay for someone with my qualifications?


34: Demonstrates poor listening skills: Doesn’t listen carefully to
questions or seems to have her own agenda that overrides the interviewer’s interest. Tends to go off in different directions from the questions being asked. Not a very empathetic listener both verbally and nonverbally. Seems to be more interested in talking about own agenda than focusing on the issues at hand. Apparently wants to take charge of the interview and be the Lone Ranger. The
job really does require good listening skills!
35. Seems not too bright for the job: Answering simple interview
questions is like giving an intelligence test. Has difficulty talking about past accomplishments. Doesn’t seem to grasp what the job is all about or the skulls required. Seems confused and lacks focus. Should never have gotten to the job interview but had a terrific looking resume which was probably written by a professional resume writer!
36. Fails to know his /her worth and negotiate properly when it
comes time to talk about compensation: Job seekers are well
advised to only talk about salary and benefits after being offered
the job. If you prematurely talk about compensation, you may diminish your value as well as appear self-centered. Be sure to research salary comparables so you know what you are worth in today’s job market . Listen carefully
throughout the interview and ask questions which would give you a better idea of what the job is actually worth. Stress throughout the interview your skills and accomplishments - those things that are most valued by employers who are willing to pay what’s necessary for top talent. When you do start negotiating, let the employer state a salary figure first and then negotiate using salary
ranges to reach common ground.
37. Fails to properly prepare for the interview: This is the most important
mistake of all. It affects all the other mistakes. Indeed, failing to prepare will immediately show when the candidate makes a bad first impression’ fails to indicate knowledge about the company and job, poorly answers standard interview questions’ and does not ask questions. In other words, the candidate makes many of the mistakes outlined above because he or she failed to
anticipate what goes into a winning interview. Since you should be
communicating your very best self during the interview, failing to prepare for it says something about how you deal with important things in your life and work. In this case, the employer and job were not important enough for you to prepare properly. That’s okay. The employer now knows the real you.

How to answer can you do interview questions?
Before an employer decides to give someone a job, they need to be convinced that the person can either do the job properly or learn it quickly. It comes as no surprise to learn therefore that ‘Can you do the job?’ questions are the most common. They’re also the ones people spend most time preparing for.
‘Can you do the job?’ questions are those that directly or indirectly seek to ascertain your ability to perform the duties inherent in a job. They include questions that seek to clarify your:
* skills;
*knowledge;
* experience;
* key achievements;
* potential performance.
Examples of ‘Can you do the job?’ questions include:
* Can you give us an example of a time you had to communicate something that was complex and controversial? How did you go about it?
* Tell us about one of your key achievements?
* An irate client rings and gives you a blast over the phone. How do you handle it?
* What do you think you can bring to this position?
* Can you give us an example of a project that you had to plan and organise? What steps did you take?
* How would you describe yourself? (At first glance this may not strike you as a ‘Can you do the job?’ question, but effective interviewees always look for ways to highlight their skills.)
* What would you say makes an effective manager of people?
* Why should we employ you?
* What do you regard as your greatest strength?
* The most important duty in your job will be to look after the x, y and z. Tell us how you intend going about it.
How to answer can you do interview questions?
Step 1: Your first step is to select all the duties/requirements of the new
job that you have performed before and recount your past actions
and achievements in a way that will make the creation of effective
answers easy. There are several ways of collecting this sort of information:
* scrutinising the job advertisement;
*accessing a duty statement—if there is one;
* contacting the employer or recruitment agent to clarify the main
responsibilities of the job.
Step2 : Know What you’ve already done that relates directly to the duties listed in step 1, including overcoming obstacles.
Step 3: Once you’ve listed what you did and how you did it under step 2,
it is important to give some thought to the context or situation in
which you did it. Without context, your answers will sound empty
or only half-completed.
Step4: This step involves writing down the key outcomes or results of your actions, i.e achievements.

Nine key points to remember when preparing for an Interview
1. Don’t waste your time looking for quick fixes—they don’t exist. They
could even make matters worse. Great interview performances come
from proper preparation and practice.
2. Avoid memorising other people’s answers.
3. Remember that interviews are about more than just giving good
answers; they’re also about building rapport and trust. And building rapport and trust is contingent upon more than simply words—body
language and attitude are very important.
4. All interviewers want to know three things:
• whether you can do the job;
• how motivated or driven you are; and
• whether you’ll fit into the existing workplace culture.
5. Using the four steps gives you a simple-to-follow system by which
you can organise and bring together large amounts of disparate
information about your work achievements, to help you form clear
and articulate answers.
6. The vast majority of jobs have skills or duties that overlap. These
include:
• being a good team player;
• planning and organising your work effectively;
• good interpersonal communication skills;
• ability to cope with change in the workplace; and
• ability to provide effective customer service (including to internal
customers).
Awareness of these allows you to anticipate the nature of some of
the questions you may be asked.
7. Do not fall into despondency if you have a bad interview. Everyone
has them, even good interviewees. The key is to learn from it and
get yourself ready for the next one.
8. Often, interviewers are not experienced and can ask questions that
are not well considered. Your job is to know how to handle both the
novice as well as the experienced interviewer.
9. Believe in yourself.

Good luck.
