Job Interview Tips

1. Relax. The employment interview is just a meeting. And although you should not treat this meeting lightly, don’t forget that the organization interviewing you is in need of your services as much as, or perhaps more than, you are of theirs.

2. The key to successful interviewing is rapport building. Most people spend their time preparing for interviews by memorizing canned responses to anticipated questions. Successful interviewers spend most of their time practicing the art of rapport building through the use of powerfully effective communicating techniques.

3. Prepare a manila folder that you will bring to the interview. Include in the folder:
- company information (annual reports, sales material, etc.)
- extra resumes (6–12) and your letters of reference
- 15 questions you’ve prepared based on your research and analysis of the company
- a blank legal pad, pen, and anything else you consider helpful (e.g., college transcripts)

4. Dress appropriately. Determine the dress code and meet it. If their dress is business casual, you still need to be dressed in business professional. Practice proper grooming and hygiene.

5. Shoes, of course, must be polished.

6. Wear limited jewelry.

7. Call the day before and confirm the appointment - it will set you apart.

8. Be certain that you know exactly where you’re going. Arrive in plenty of time. You should be at the receptionist’s desk 10–12 minutes before the scheduled interview.

9. Prior to meeting the receptionist, check your appearance. Check your hair, clothing, and general image. Test your smile.

10. Secretaries, administrative assistants, and receptionists often have a say in the hiring process. Make a strong first impression with them.

11. Look around the office and search for artifacts that disclose the personality and culture of the company—and possibly the interviewer. This information will be helpful in initially breaking the ice, when you first begin discussions.

12. Be aware of your body language. Sit erect, with confidence. When standing and walking, move with confidence!

13. Your handshake should be firm, made with a wide-open hand, fingers stretched wide apart. Women should feel comfortable offering their hands and firm and friendly handshakes. A power handshake and great smile will get you off to a great start.

14. Eye contact is one of the most powerful forms of communicating. It demonstrates confidence, trust, and power.

15. During the interview, lean forward toward the interviewer. Show enthusiasm and sincere interest.

16. Take notes during the interview. You may want to refer to them later in the interview. If you are uncomfortable with this, ask permission first.

17. Be prepared for all questions, especially uncomfortable ones. Before the interview, script out a one-page response for each question that poses a problem for you, and practice repeating it until you’re comfortable with it.

18. Communicate your skills, qualifications, and credentials to the hiring manager. Describe your market value and the benefits you offer. Demonstrate how you will contribute to the bottom line. Show how you can 1) improve sales, 2) reduce costs, 3) improve productivity, or 4) solve organizational problems.

19. Key in on specific accomplishments. Accomplishments determine hireability. They separate the winners from the runners-up.

20. Listening skills are priceless! Job offers are made to those who listen well, find hidden meanings, and answer questions in a brief but effective manner.

21. Let the interviewer bring up salary first. The purpose of an interview is to determine whether there is a match. Once that is determined, salary should then be negotiated.

22. There is no substitute for planning and preparation, practice and rehearsing—absolutely none.

23. Practice interviewing techniques with a friend playing the role of the interviewer. A minimum of one hour of practice, preferably more, guarantees a stellar performance.

24. Close the sale. If you find that you want the position, ask for it. Ask directly, “Is there anything that would prevent you from offering me this position now?” or “Do you have any reservations or concerns?” (if you sense that). At the very least, this should flush out any objections and give you the opportunity to turn them into positives.

25. Always send a thank-you note within 24 hours of every employment meeting.

Career Guidance Tips: Career Planning

Know thyself
Socrates

Career planning is about improving your current job or seeking the next one. It is about a work and life balance — life management. It is about relationships with your boss and your colleagues.

Here is how you can enhance your career.

1) Stay informed about new and current trends.

• Become a member of professional associations.
• Read books and journals in your area of expertise.
  

2) Attend seminars, workshops, conferences, and trade shows.

3) Promote new ideas, so you won't be seen as someone who is afraid of change.

4) Be open to change and eager to try new ideas. Ask to sit on committees dealing with new technologies.

5) Update your resume frequently, highlighting your successes and major achievements. Be sure to include projects that added measurable value to your department or organization. Don't be afraid to blow your own horn.

6) Take every training course you can manage — they all have something new to offer. Include them on your resume, and make sure your boss is aware of your professional-development activities and their worth to the company.

7) Add to your network of business associates. Stay in touch and make them aware of your present activities and future career plans.

8) Make contact with people who know where the employment opportunities are, both inside and outside your organization. Add professional recruiters to your network.

9) Determine your monetary value in the marketplace. If you find you are not being paid enough, you will be motivated to try for a raise or for a position with another firm. Three factors decide your worth:

• the need for your work;
• your ability to do the job;
• the difficulty of replacing you.
  

10) Evaluate your strengths. What are you especially good at? Find out if key people agree with your analysis.

11) Focus on skills you have, or might acquire, that are unique in the organization. Fluency in foreign languages or knowledge of particular computer applications are possible examples.

Career Guidance Tips: Key Skills to Learn for Success

Your attitude always determines your altitude in life.
(Successories Inc)

To climb in your career you must be clear about your personal goals, learn how to add value, and develop skills you can take anywhere. As more people enter the information age, change is happening at an ever-increasing pace. As knowledge workers begin to predominate, new skills sets will become important.

You must hone your skills in these areas:

INTUITION

Develop your ability to have insight that goes beyond facts and figures. Numbers rule and logic may tell you one thing, but your observations, questions, and perception may reveal new opportunities. Step back and look at the big picture. Try to ignore the details.

EMPATHY

Learn to understand issues from the viewpoint of those around you. Begin to "feel" issues from the perspective of people who are from a different cultural, religious, or gender background from you. And make allowances for those differences.

VISIONING

Develop an understanding about where you and those who work with you could and should be a few years ahead. Think about it … What differentiated Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy, Nelson Mandela, and Mahatma Gandhi from us mere mortals? They had vision. Equally important, they were able to communicate their vision to those around them in a compelling manner and excite and mobilize people. Having a vision is of limited value unless we share it and excite other people.

FLEXIBILITY

Have an open mind when change must be made. More important, anticipate the future. Preparing for the future and making adjustments in our attitudes and procedures will ensure that change is constant, not periodic and traumatic.

PRO-ACTIVITY

Get things done. Find the easy way. Don't get analysis paralysis. Sure, you often need information before making a decision, but doing things and modifying and learning as you go along can often pay much higher dividends. There is another benefit — people will realize that making a mistake is not bad, it's an opportunity to learn and improve. Doing nothing will cause disillusionment and could become part of the culture.

SEEING THE BIG PICTURE

Step away from the daily grind to see your organization in the context of the economy, its industry, its direction, its leadership, and its competitors.

PARTNERING

Learn to work collaboratively. Partner with people from other work areas. Share the rewards and recognition. Develop partnerships with people outside your organization, especially those who can add value to your endeavours.

LIFE-LONG LEARNING

Take every opportunity to learn new skills and get new ideas. Courses, inside and outside the organization, are only a small part of accumulating knowledge. Reading books, attending conferences, subscribing to trade magazines, and learning from your mistakes will help too.

Career Guidance Tips: Getting Ahead in Your Organization

My grandfather once told me that there are two kinds of people: those who do the work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the first group; there was less competition there.
(Indira Gadhi)

No one can manage your career better than you can. But if you wait for opportunities to present themselves, you may sit around forever. You must be pro-active. You must be assertive. The following ideas will improve your chances of moving up the corporate ladder.

1) Make yourself indispensable. Create a niche by doing things that others can't or may not want to do.

2) Go the extra mile. Help out in a crisis. Put extra effort in if a project is late. Be seen to be helpful. Help during emergencies.

3) Make your boss look good. You will be valued and appreciated. And if you do enough good, the favours will be returned, sooner or later.

4) Know what your boss's goals are, then modify your behaviour to do things that will advance your boss's goals.

5) Work more effectively when you're not supervised. The next time your boss is out of the office, such as when she is on holiday, exceed her expectations by having projects completed. Leave a note on her desk or on her voice mail, so that she has the assurance and peace of mind that things are in good hands.

6) Exceed the specifications of your job as laid out in your job description. Regularly document the things you are doing that are not described. At your next performance review, make your boss aware of your extra work, so your job description will be updated. Your boss will then be forced to acknowledge your growth.

7) Do something special and have it published. Document your success and write an article about it. After passing it by your boss, find a publisher or a magazine you support. A published article will add to your credentials as an expert.

8) In a team situation, be a player and give your best efforts to meeting goals on time and within budget. Encourage other team members to do the same.

9) Be a willing volunteer, especially for projects that will let you prove your abilities to senior staff and key decision-makers.

10) Avoid politics. You cannot expect to exert more than minimal influence on the people you oppose. If you are pushed to take sides, hold off until you can pick the likely winner.

11) Understand the big picture. This will give you a sense of where opportunities are developing.

12) Find out how people who have been promoted did it.

13) Become the most technically competent employee in your area. Have your peers cross-train you. If necessary, do it on your own time.

14) Focus on excelling in your existing job. Don't obsess about looking for opportunities outside the organization. If you must, read the quit, and find another job!

15) Project a positive attitude at all times.

16) Volunteer for task forces, particularly those that have a high profile in the organization.

17) Train, train, and train some more. Get as much education as you can to enhance your ability on the job. Take courses that might be useful to your peers, then offer to present a summary of what you have learned to them. Offer to cross-train others.

18) Teach, teach, teach — become a mentor to someone else and help that person grow.

19) Be assertive in getting your career goals known. Ask for promotions and opportunities whenever it feels appropriate.

20) Develop a picture of what you want to be doing five years down the road. Make a list of roadblocks that might prevent you from being successful. Develop action plans to overcome these obstacles over a period of time. Communicate these to your boss.

21) Be honest. Your reputation for integrity will compensate for the occasional awkwardness of telling the truth.

22) Collaborate with those around you. Co-operative people are more likely to get promotions than those who are constantly in conflict with their co-workers.

23) Focus on the big picture. Be aware of important current issues and industry trends, and find new ways to help your organization succeed. Identify obstacles to corporate performance, and make suggestions on how to overcome them.

24) Seek out a mentor, a respected person in your organization whom you see as a role model. Choose someone whose skills and personality will give you an opportunity to learn different approaches and techniques. Consult your mentor for advice and feedback, especially when you have difficult decisions to make.

25) Discuss your career goals with your boss so that you agree on both their suitability and the route by which you plan to achieve them. Ask for feedback on whether your plans are realistic, and for advice on what training you might need to gain the necessary skills.

26) Set goals and develop your career action plan around them, using mini-goals to track your progress. Review goals regularly, and make adjustments to your plan if you get off-track.

27) Be positive. If you have doubts about a project, don't present them as impassable obstacles. Maintain the position that there are no problems, only opportunities and solutions. Optimists achieve more because of their "can do" attitude, while negative people rarely succeed.

28) Dress for success. Dress for the role you want, not for the one you have.

29) Follow up on your promises. Underpromise and overdeliver.

30) Put your energies into projects that

• use your skills;
• are likely to succeed;
• require major effort and resources.
  

31) Work visibly to help your organization succeed.

32) Be generous with useful tips and sales leads.

33) Research and report on ways to reduce costs.

34) Be the person who knows what's happening. Become a source of information on current trends by reading trade and business-news publications and passing on useful material to your colleagues.

35) Take on projects that others don't want to do. Your boss and your associates will appreciate you.

36) If a situation is occurring that might embarrass or anger your boss, be the one to break the news as soon as possible. Your boss will appreciate being prepared for unpleasant outcomes.

37) Maintain up-to-date information about your boss's expectations of you. Make sure that performance goals can be measured, so your achievements will be clearly perceived.

38) Request increasing levels of authority and autonomy, and then prove yourself worthy of them. It may be a stretch, but you will be able to prove how capable you are to yourself and others.

39) Do better by competing against yourself, rather than your peers. Competitiveness breeds resentment. Strive for your personal best, and let others judge you against your peers.

40) Ask key people for feedback. Listen to them without being defensive. Show your appreciation by demonstrating improved performance.

41) Take a positive approach when criticized.

• Be as objective and unemotional as possible. Avoid defensiveness.
• Consider the critic's point of view.
• Use criticism as a learning opportunity.
• Reflect on the criticism. If you think it unfair, defend yourself.
• Thank the critic, even if you disagree with the evaluation.
  

42) If you are fired or demoted, learn from the experience. Rather than trying to establish blame, find out what went wrong. Try as hard as you can to be objective, fix the problem if you can, and make sure you don't make the same mistake again.

43) Win support by thanking in public those who help you.

44) Learn to get what you want without alienating the people you meet. You never know who might affect your future career path.

45) Take advantage of a possible upcoming job vacancy and put yourself in the lead by

• taking on extra work that will demonstrate relevant skills;
• letting key people know you are interested;
• making sure your skills are updated to match the vacancy.
  

46) Take the initiative. Go beyond the "normal" course of duty and do things that make a difference.

47) Gain a larger perspective. Look at your organization from the viewpoint of the customer, the owners, and the staff. Try to balance often-conflicting needs.

48) Take responsibility. Show leadership. Identify yourself as one who will demonstrate the values of your organization. Project a "can do" attitude.

49) Be a team player. Work collaboratively. Help others to excel. They will return the favour when you least expect it or when you might need it.

50) Present your ideas with panache. Tell your story with enthusiasm, always taking into account the needs of your audience.

Career Guidance Tips: Change During a Takeover

Be prepared for changes thrust on you in the event of a re-organization, a re-engineering exercise, or a takeover.

Here's what to expect in a takeover:

• Rumours abound.
• Executives are inaccessible and are in meetings continuously.
• Information from management, in the form of a memo, will usually reflect what people know already.
• No direct reliable information is available from high-profile managers.
• Senior managers resign.
• New faces begin to appear during walking tours.
• A new management team is announced.
• The managers make some attempt to listen to staff.
• New procedures and processes are decreed.
• Further layoffs and resignations take place.
• The culture of the organization changes significantly.

Salary Negotiation Tips

1. From the moment you make initial contact with any company or organization you wish to work with, you are in negotiation. You may not be discussing money openly, but you are making a permanent imprint on the minds of the hiring authorities.
2. Delay all discussions of salary until there is an offer on the table.
3. You are in the strongest negotiating position as soon as the offer is made.
4. Know your value. You must know how you can contribute to the organization. Establish this in the mind of the hiring manager.
5. Get employers enthusiastic about your candidacy, and they will become more generous.
6. There is no substitute for preparation. If you are well prepared, you’ll be confident, self-assured, and poised for success.
7. Prior to going into employment negotiations, you must know the average salary paid for similar positions with other organizations in your geographical area.
8. Prior to going into employment negotiations you must know, as best you can, the salary range that the company you’re interviewing with will pay, or what former employees were earning.
9. Prior to going into employment negotiations, you must know your personal needs and requirements, and how they relate to numbers 7 and 8 above.
10. Remember, fringes and perks, such as vacation time, flex time, health benefits, pension plans, and so on, have value. Consider the “total” salary package.
11. Salary negotiations must be win-win negotiations. If they’re not, everybody loses in the end.
12. Be flexible; don’t get hung up on trivial issues, and always seek compromise when possible.
13. Listen carefully and pay close attention. Your goals will most likely be different from the goals of the employer. For instance, the firm’s main focus might be “base salary.” Yours might be “total earning potential.” So a win-win solution might be to negotiate a lower base salary but a higher commission or bonus structure.
14. Anticipate objections and prepare effective answers to these objections.
15. Try to understand the employer’s point of view. Then plan a strategy to meet both the employer’s concerns and your needs.
16. Don’t be afraid to negotiate out of fear of losing the offer. Most employers expect you to negotiate as long as you negotiate in a fair and reasonable manner.
17. Always negotiate in a way that reflects your personality, character, and work ethic. Remain within your comfort zone.
18. Never lose control. Remain enthusiastic and upbeat even if the negotiations get a little hot. This might be your first test under fire.
19. Play hardball only if you’re willing to walk away from, or lose, the deal.
20. What you lose in the negotiations will most likely never be recouped. Don’t be careless in preparing for or conducting the negotiation.
21. Be sure to get the offer and final agreement in writing.
22. You should feel comfortable asking the employer for 24 to 48 hours to think about the deal if you need time to think it over.
23. Never link salary to personal needs or problems. Compensation should always be linked to your value.
24. Understand your leverage. Know if you are in a position of strength or weakness and negotiate intelligently based on your personal situation.
25. End salary negotiations on a friendly and cheerful note.

Career Guidance Tips: Job Interview Tips

You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
(Unknown)

Getting an interview for a job is usually the last of a number of difficult steps that might produce a job offer. This is showtime — an opportunity for you to sell yourself. You will probably come up against a professional who knows the difference between glib catchphrases and substance, so be prepared to leave the interviewer with no doubt that you are the best person for the job. Here's how to give yourself the best appearance:

IN PREPARATION FOR THE INTERVIEW

1) Find out everything you can about the company. This will demonstrate a genuine interest in the organization and an affinity for the things that its employees do. Your research should include information on the nature of the business; how well the company is doing; changes in the industry, with particular focus on things that could influence your job; the size of the company; and the diversity of products and services provided.

2) Create a list of questions you want to ask. You should avoid asking about salaries at an early stage. Your questions should instead reflect an interest in the company and an awareness of your contribution to its future.

Questions could include:

• How is the organization doing?
• What is the outlook for business over the next five years?
• How would you describe the culture here?
• How do people get recognized for superior performance, outside the formal compensation system?
• How important is teamwork in your organization?
• What kind of training does the organization provide?
• How readily does the organization embrace new technology and other improved working systems?
• How are employees kept informed of changes in the organization?
• What would be the primary reason for people leaving the organization in the last year or two?
• Are there some characteristics common to people who have been promoted in the organization?

3) Review your resumé to ensure that it contains as many things that could be of interest to the company as possible.

4) If you do have more than one interview, schedule them with sufficient time in between to avoid rushing from one to the other.

5) Collect and organize all supporting documentation, such as certificates of your professional qualifications and references.

6) Be sure you have accurate directions to the prospective employer, to ensure that you don't spend time searching for the place and arriving stressed.

7) Consider doing a role-play with a friend. Have him ask you some challenging, open-ended questions that require on-the-spot mental acrobatics.

Questions could include:

• "In your last job, what would be the one thing that your peers most disliked about you?"
• "What would be your single most important achievement in your last job?"
• "How would you describe yourself?"
• "What type of training could the company provide you with, to make you a better contributor?"
• "What attracted you to this job?"
• "What do you know about the company?"
• "What would you like to tell me in support of your application, other than what is on your resume?"
• "Can you give me examples of initiatives that you have taken in your previous job that were above and beyond what your job description required you to do?"
  

ON THE DAY OF YOUR INTERVIEW

8) Dress for success.

• Make sure that you are well groomed. Your hair should be neat and you should be cleanly shaven.
• Your clothes should reflect the fact that you are a neat person. They should be clean and well pressed. Be sure to fix any loose buttons and hems.
• Avoid outlandish hairstyles and body ornamentation that may not be in keeping with the culture of the organization you want to work for.
• Avoid clothing that is too revealing, frilly, or makes you look much taller than you actually are.

9) Leave yourself extra time to get to the interview.

10) Have all supporting documentation ready, including your resume, references, and non-confidential documentation of work you have done that would demonstrate your ability to do the job.

11) Bring writing materials so you can make notes on important issues. Don't rely on your memory, particularly if you have any other interviews on that day.

12) Introduce yourself. Give your interviewer a firm handshake. Smile. Look relaxed. Make small talk to establish rapport that seems genuine, such as "I love this location! It's so easy to get to." Or "It must be my lucky day. The traffic was so much lighter than usual coming in."

13) Let the interviewer control the discussion. Listen carefully to her questions. Show that you understand by nodding and paraphrasing difficult questions.

14) Do not ramble when responding to open-ended questions. Try to be as direct as possible. If you are not sure that you have answered the question, ask if the interviewer has the answer that he was looking for, and if not, what he would like you to deal with.

15) Look and act interested. Sit slightly forward and maintain eye contact, without staring.

16) Pay attention to what the interviewer says. Equally important, watch non-verbal cues. Look for facial expressions that might indicate confusion with your answers, such as loss of eye contact or change in voice pitch. Crossing arms or legs may mean resistance. Leaning forward or nodding might mean enthusiasm.

17) Project a great attitude. Show your "can do" enthusiasm by

• always accentuating the positive;
• giving examples of the good things you have done.

18) Project positive body language. This will mean that you

• smile warmly when greeted;
• maintain eye contact, without staring;
• greet people with a firm handshake;
• stand tall or sit up straight, so you project enthusiasm and confidence;
• avoid putting your hand in front of your face while you are talking or fidgeting when you are listening;
• never smoke or chew gum.

19) Speak to impress by

• articulating key ideas with a firmer voice;
• avoiding rushing through answers and rambling;
• avoiding slang or swear words;
• avoiding annoying words such as "like" at the beginning, middle, and end of each sentence.
  

20) Listen. Make sure you answer all questions adequately. When you are not sure if you have done this, ask, "Have I answered your question?" This will indicate that you care about responding fully.

21) If you don't understand a question, ask for clarification.

22) Stay calm and confident. You got the interview, now get the job!

23) Use examples wherever possible. This will demonstrate a "can do" approach. It will also increase the interviewer's confidence that you can do the job in practice, rather than in theory.

24) Close the meeting decisively. Consider using a sentence such as "I've enjoyed the discussion. Where do we go from here?"

BE PREPARED TO ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS

Here is a list of questions that you could be asked in an interview. Having answers for them will put you in a high state of readiness.

• What is the one thing you are most proud of that you've done at work during the last twelve months?
• What one thing at work could you have done better?
• Can you describe your ideal organization?
• Can you describe your ideal job?
• If I called some of your current work colleagues, what good things would they tell me about you?
• What would they tell me about you that they'd like you to change?
• What are you looking for from our organization that you're not getting in your current (last) job?
• What are the most important things that drive you?
• What types of things are you most intolerant of at work?
• Can you give me examples of things you've done recently that you're proud of?
• What has prompted you to apply to us for a job?
