Job Interview Tips

An interview gives you the opportunity to showcase your qualifications to an employer, so it pays to be well prepared. The following information provides some helpful hints.

Preparation:

* Learn about the organization. * Have a specific job or jobs in mind. * Review your qualifications for the job. * Prepare answers to broad questions about yourself. * Review your résumé. * Practice an interview with a friend or relative. * Arrive before the scheduled time of your interview.

Personal appearance:

* Be well groomed. * Dress appropriately. * Do not chew gum or smoke.

The interview:

* Relax and answer each question concisely. * Respond promptly. * Use good manners. * Learn the name of your interviewer and greet him or her with a firm handshake. * Use proper English--avoid slang. * Be cooperative and enthusiastic. * Use body language to show interest. * Ask questions about the position and the organization, but avoid questions whose answers can easily be found on the company Web site. Also avoid asking questions about salary and benefits unless a job offer is made. * Thank the interviewer when you leave and, as a follow-up, in writing.

Test (if employer gives one):

* Listen closely to instructions. * Read each question carefully. * Write legibly and clearly. * Budget your time wisely and don't dwell on one question.

Information to bring to an interview:

* Social Security card. * Government-issued identification (driver's license). * Résumé. Although not all employers require applicants to bring a résumé, you should be able to furnish the interviewer information about your education, training, and previous employment. * References. Employers typically require three references. Get permission before using anyone as a reference. Make sure that they will give you a good reference. Try to avoid using relatives as references. * Transcripts. Employers may require an official copy of transcripts to verify grades, coursework, dates of attendance, and highest grade completed or degree awarded.

Get The Results You Want By Using An Executive Summary On Your Resume
By careers, 21:23



Get The Results You Want By Using An Executive Summary On Your Resume 
by Heather Eagar

In the not-so-distant past, the resume objective section was widely used. The resume objective, simply put, is a 2-3 line statement summarizing the goals you have set for yourself and the position you seek.

Many experts in the field feel that a section on resume objectives may be omitted. They suggest the use other useful information instead. A resume objective focuses on your personal goals, which often reads like a wish statement - in most cases, in complete disregard of what the employers want to know and expect to get from you. For this reason, more and more job seekers are using the executive summary instead of a resume objective section.

Resume Objective vs. Executive Summary

Resume objectives can be construed as being self-centric. For example, "Seeking a position in the sales department with an opportunity for faster career advancement" focuses completely on you. It does not tell the employer anything about your past career, your strengths or what you can do for them.

* A resume objective could lead hiring managers into thinking about the specifics of your objectives (i.e., what you want) instead of your skills and strengths.

* Resume objectives tend to be career-limiting and one-dimensional

* A resume objective narrows down your opportunities when you are multi-skilled and qualified for more than one position.

An executive summary, on the other hand, talks about the results that you have achieved and the potential you possess which makes recruiters take notice - it also helps establish your professional identity. An executive summary presents you, in terms of your career skills, accomplishments and abilities, to the hiring manager or organization before they start reading your resume. That is why the executive summary is so important today.

Think of the executive summary as the introduction to a novel. You can read the introduction, find out the main characters and the plot before you actually start reading the novel itself. The introduction gives you the push you need to actually begin reading the book. If you like what you read in the introduction, you usually go on. It's the same thing with the executive summary and your resume.

Why the Executive Summary Is Used Now Instead

Obviously, resumes that win interviews are simple and focused. An executive summary achieves this by saying who you are (professionally), what you have achieved and how and what you can contribute. A recent survey revealed that more than 72% of resumes that win interviews are well summarized and focused. Also, many job seekers who have changed their resume format to include the executive summary instead of an objective section have acknowledged this. Here's why the executive summary is more often used now:

* It highlights your career skills and presents them as desired by hiring managers

* It exhibits how you can benefit the organization by presenting your abilities and strengths as they relate to the current position that you are targeting

* Executive summaries grab attention, permits use of descriptive verbs (such as accelerated, delivered, re-engineered and generated).

Executive summaries help recruiters decide whether to call you for an interview - and we all know that the real test of a resume is whether or not it produces interviews. So replace that objective section on your resume with a rewritten executive summary. It just might get you the results that you are looking for.

Jersey job finder

The Rich Jerk - How to make REAL Money with your Blog or Website...!

Jersey job finder  
by Isabel R Rodrigues

For establishing your career in Jersey, you would need a trusted Jersey Job finder. There are opportunities galore for qualified and skilled professionals. The numerous recruitment agencies and the official website offer a platform for showcasing these jobs.

Jersey lies to the south of Great Britain and has been a popular tourist destination. It also has a thriving business environment and is the center of several offshore investment funds. Therefore, besides the traditional jobs in travel and hospitality industry, new career avenues are opening up in banking and financial services, telecommunications, retailing, management consulting, graphic design and fashion design. Finding a suitable job is very easy with the Jersey job finder.

The state government has been encouraging the creation of jobs for the economic development of the youth in the island. While outsiders might find fulfilling careers in Jersey, there is widespread belief that the local youth should be trained to take up responsible positions. While the investment in education is high, training to cater to the job market is not adequate. Several Jersey Job finder agencies like 1st Recruitment regularly conduct mentoring initiatives to develop self-esteem and positive attitude in the youth. The youth receive training in temporary positions and often find permanent jobs.

Jersey recruitment agencies form a strong network for providing information on the jobs available. The official website lists most of the opportunities and the offerings by the external recruitment agencies. The Offshore Executive Recruitment Limited is an agency dedicated to providing professionals for the financial services sector. The Jersey Evening Post regularly carries a job finder segment. It regularly runs motivational and informative articles by highly placed executives in leading companies. These articles are eye-openers for the youth of the island.

The main thrust of Jersey job finder agencies is to bring the latest job opportunities besides tracking the trends in the market.

Job Search Blues? You Need To Get Deprogrammed!
By careers, 12:10

Job Search Blues?
You Need To Get Deprogrammed!
  
by Paul Megan  - 

 

I'll bet I know exactly why you have job search blues.

You've spent a lot of time writing and rewriting your resume till you have it fine-tuned and ready for the job market. Then you distributed it to several job sites like Monster and HotJobs. You answered a bunch of job opening ads and mailed or emailed your resume directly some companies. You even contacted some agencies and recruiters. Maybe you went to a job fair.

The reason for the job search blues is that, after all the work you've put into this campaign you still don't have anything to show for it.

Oh sure, you got some responses. Probably some TNT (thanks but no thanks) letters. Maybe some requests for additional information. Or an invitation to participate in a multi-level marketing scheme or two. You may have even been invited to come in for an interview or two where you answered all their questions and jumped through all their hoops. But you're weeks into your job campaign and you still don't have a job offer. Just some tantalizing possibilities. And you definitely have the job search blues.

Whoa! Stop everything! It's time to get deprogrammed!

You see, the reason you have the job search blues is very simple. You're doing it all wrong! The approach you're taking is the old-fashioned last century method when you could make the numbers work for you by mass distributing of your resume.

But it's a new century. Times have changed. And so have the expectations of employers.

Back then they used to rely on the information in your resume to make informed decisions about you. Not anymore. Today's savvy employers are looking for a lot more than what you used to do for someone else. They expect you to come to the table ready to discuss how you can help them solve problems and advance their organization.

No one is going to hire you on the basis of your resume! I know that's tough to swallow especially when you've worked so hard to prepare it. The facts are an employer is going to hire you because he/she sees you as a productive member of the team.

So part of your deprogramming is to reverse the whole misinformed job search concept you've been laboring under. Instead of starting with your resume, you start by identifying the employers you'd like to work for. Then you research them to discover what their needs and expectations are. And, finally, you take advantage of innovative alternative job search strategies to meet face-to-face with them without all the resume and interviewing hoopla.

How do you do that?

Fortunately there's a remarkable system that can show you how to meet face-to-face with hiring decision-makers of your choice in a matter of days. And lock up a high-paying job in as little as two weeks. Now that should relieve your job search blues fast!

Five Steps to a Flawless Job Interview
By careers, 13:01

The Rich Jerk - How to make Tons of Cash with the Internet!

Five Steps to a Flawless Job Interview  
by Erik Alburg  - 

Are you prepared for your next job interview? Do you know the secrets of pulling off a flawless interview and getting the job of your dreams? Use these five easy steps to prepare yourself and leave the best impression possible with the hiring manager.

1.Be Early - The worst thing you can do is show up to an interview late. What does that tell the hiring manager about your commitment level? Why would anyone want to hire a person who doesn't have the organization skills to show up on time? By showing up early you are demonstrating and showing respect of the company and the hiring manager. You are also giving them the opportunity to take you early, which could give you more face time. Face time is important, the longer you have with the hiring manager the better your chances will be to get the job.

2.Research the Company - Never walk into an interview without knowing anything about the company. Do some research; find out how many facilities they have, who is the CEO, and what recent news has come out about the company. Look at the financials from their website or other investor news. Be prepared to ask some questions about what you have discovered. At the end of every interview that I have conducted, I always ask "Do you have any questions for me?" I am always impressed with people who have done their research and are serious about working for the company.

3.Listen, Don't Talk - It may seem counter-intuitive, but get the hiring manager to do most of the talking. It is a proven fact, that hiring managers will think the interview go better if they do a lot of talking. So use your research and ask a lot of questions to get the interview talking.

4.Carry Copies of Your Resume - Hiring managers are busy people and many times they do not have a copy of your resume when they enter the room. Even if they do have a copy, a lot of the time, it will be a fax copy from the recruiter. This is the time to hand them your resume on a quality piece of paper. Resume paper is thicker and has a very good feel to it and that is what you want the interviewer to associate with you... a good feel. Later, when the hiring manager is reviewing your resume you will stand a better chance of getting the job or at least the second interview.

5.Follow-Up - After the interview, it is always a good idea to follow-up with the hiring manager is some shape, way, or form. If the interviewer gave you his/her card then make use of it. Call them and ask a few follow-up questions and thank them for taking the time to meet with you. If you didn't get a card during the interview, then send a polite thank you letter. The goal here is to get the hiring manager to think of you again. And the more he/she thinks of you, in a positive manner, the better your chances are to get the job.

Are you happy with your career? Do you have plan on how to develop your career and get where you want to be? Visit www.developingcareers.com to learn how to manage your career start to finish. Remember: Those who Fail to Plan... Plan to Fail.

Job Search: Can Network Marketing Be a Successful Career Option?
By careers, 14:19

Job Search: Can Network Marketing
be a Successful Career Option?
  

by Joseph Lee  - 

To many people...the words network marketing...mlm...direct selling...evoke all kinds of thoughts and images in their mind? Are you one of these people? When you hear these words, does your mind automatically recoil with such thoughts....

· "Don't want to get involved in another one please!" · "I've wasted so much time for nothing!" · "It's all hype and not possible!" · "The company I was with went bust and left me with a whole lot of inventory!"

Granted...there are many so-called network marketing business opportunities out there that are illegal pyramid scams or with over-priced and dubious quality products. But there are also a small number of good opportunities that are truly legitimate and rewarding.

A good network marketing business opportunity could be the start of a parallel career. (And a parallel career is here defined as something you start while you still have a job with the end goal of working for yourself).

When you start a network marketing business while you still have a job (as a parallel career), besides the sense of security of a regular paycheck, other benefits include:

·The Opportunity to Meet and Interact with Many People Daily

As network marketing is a numbers game, the more people you talk to the higher are your chances of success.

·Not Dependent on Your Network Marketing Business Income

You have a current job with a regular source of income. Hence, you're not dependent on your network marketing income, at least in the short-term.

·Not Under Pressure to Make Money Quickly

Having a source of employment income means that you'll not be under pressure to make money quickly. But this does not mean that you should not pressure yourself to achieve set goals.

·More Confidence

Getting your regular monthly paycheck and not depending on your network marketing business income gives you more confidence. This will show in your approach and your attitude. Prospects can sense it.

·More Credibility

The fact that you're currently employed gives your words more weight because your prospects realize that you have options and can do without this network marketing income.

Also, network marketing by its nature gives you the flexibility of when to work, where to work from and who to work with. You could choose to allocate 2 nights a week or the weekend to do the business. You could choose to meet your prospects in your home or at your favourite café, and you could choose to share the network marketing opportunity only with people you can get along with. No such choices in a job!

Therefore, if you have no hang-ups about talking to people (including strangers), you're disciplined in setting goals (daily, weekly, monthly, longer-term ones) and you're passionate in the products and company you represent, network marketing is an above-average choice for a parallel career.

From the numerous success testimonies found in monthly magazines and websites of the good network marketing companies, you'll find that those who have made it to the top positions (the so-called Diamond or Platinum ranks) say that they cherish the recognition, respect and freedom their network marketing business has given them. And most of all they are having fun while earning unbelievable incomes. What a lifestyle!

Search With A Career Search
By careers, 00:19

Search With A Career Search  
by Triston Huntsmin  - 

If you are looking for the perfect career for you but are unsure of where to look or what to look for, then don't go any further without doing a career search. A career search is a great way to learn about potential careers without making any commitments or signing any contracts first.

The basic idea of a career search is two-fold. The first main purpose of doing a career search is to learn about all the possible careers that are available to be had as great professions. For example, you may know that some people make a great career out of being a chef, but have you ever considered being a chef that gets to travel the world and cook on cruise ships? Or maybe you have considered nannying as a career choice for you. With a career search you may learn that you can be a nanny in another country and make just as much money if not more.

The possibilities for making money and for enjoying your career are nearly endless. Do not let yourself get sucked into a job you hate simply because you haven't taken the time to find a career that is right for you. As a career counselor, I meet with far too many people each week that are stuck doing jobs they hate simply to pay the bills because they didn't know that other careers were really possible. So take my advice and do a career search before you make any other job commitments. You just may be missing out on a career you could love.

A second main purpose of doing a career search is to learn more about yourself. You may not even have a good idea of what kinds of careers would fit your personality and skills until you do a career search to learn more about yourself. Take time to do some of the personality and skill tests that accompany career searches and see what is right for you. If you are going to spend the majority of your life working, as most people do, than why not take your time and through a career search learn what is truly the best career for you.

Having a career you love is one of the most rewarding things in life. Doing a career search can be one of the easiest ways to discover what careers will bring you the best rewards.

Triston Huntsmin is a professional career counselor that encourages all potential-workers to do a career search before making a long term choice about careers. See www.careersearchhelp.info for more.

Are Your Job Search Advisors Blowing Smoke?  
by Paul Megan  - 

Job search advisors . . . they're the one thing you can count on when you're looking for a job. They seem to come out of the woodwork with recommendations on how to conduct your job campaign. But could they be blowing smoke?

Most of the time the advice you get, even from professionals, is way off course. That's because it's usually a rehash of old fashioned job search ideas totally out of tune with what's happening in the sophisticated 21st Century job marketplace.

For example, I'll bet the first piece of advice you get is what to do with your resume. Everyone seems to focus on the value of having an award-winning resume that touts your work history and other credentials. I call that advice blowing smoke.

Or other job search advisors will recommend companies where you should apply for a job. Or they'll refer you to advertised job openings that could be right for you. I call this blowing smoke.

Still other job search advisors will tell you their secrets for conducting an interview . . . how to dodge the tough questions . . . how to upstage the interviewer and take control . . . how to be a tough negotiator, etc. Blowing smoke!

Why am I so critical of traditional job search recommendations and advice? Well, first of all, it has nothing to do with the good intentions of your advisors. They're doing their best to be helpful. The problem is they're disseminating misinformation. They're advising you about strategies that are out of sync with what's really going on in today's job marketplace.

Just take your resume, for instance. In today's marketplace it counts for very little. First of all, employers aren't going to hire you on the basis of what you did for someone else. They want to know how you're going address company issues going forward. You can't do that in a resume.

The, there's the misinformation about interviewing. If you think you're going to capture an employer's attention and beat out the competition by answering all his/her questions accurately and jumping through all the hoops with ease . . . or negotiating by making sure you get your demands are on the table right upfront . . . well, you already lost before you even got started!

You need a new plan. One that will guide you through today's real job marketplace. One that replaces last century job search advisors with exciting, proven alternative job search strategies and innovative non-traditional career advancement advice u . . .that get results for you . . . fast!

If you follow the easy, step-by-step techniques outlined in the revolutionary alternative job search system, you can be meeting face-to-face with qualified hiring decision-makers in a matter of days without all the resume and mass-distribution and interviewing hoopla. And you can be entertaining high-paying job offers in as little as two weeks!

A Successful Job Interview   
by Alex Berez  - 

As you may know, when you apply for the Canadian visa, you must attend to an interview with a Visa officer.

I´ve helped people from all over the world get ready for their interviews, and based on my experiences with them, I´ve prepared hundreds of useful tips that people looking for a job can use to succeed in any job interview!

Here are some of them...

It's the moment you've been anticipating. You've been steadily sending off resumes for the last two weeks and now the phone is ringing. On the other end is the disembodied voice of a business professional saying, "We've received your resume, and we'd like to have you come in for an interview." What do you do?

Getting responses to our resumes can be exciting because it means that the employer is interested. Very few employers call in every single applicant since they don't have that kind of time. So, in most cases, being called for an interview means that we've successfully passed the first round of screening. There was something on our resume that attracted their attention.

Now what?

All of us go through this when we are searching for a job. The problem is that most of us don't realize that the job interview actually began the moment we pick up the phone and greet that caller. How you handle yourself on the phone gives the interviewer some idea of what you're like in person. Any one can look good on paper, but the majority of people have more difficulty "faking it" during an impromptu phone conversation.

Of course, not all of these calls will be made by the actual interviewers. In some cases, these individuals will ask their secretaries or assistants to arrange the interviews for them. However, you'll still want to make a good impression on these individuals. For one, you may not know until it's too late whether you are talking to the interview or his/her representative. Plus, these representatives may pass along their opinion of your performance to their boss anyway. Therefore, you should always treat the caller as if they are someone important from the company; someone who will have a hand in determining whether or not you get the job.

Preparing for Calls

As soon as you begin sending out resumes, you should also begin to prepare to receive phone calls from employers. Remember that your contact information should be clearly marked on your resume and on your cover letter so that potential employers can get in touch with you. That contact information should include several possibilities, including your home number, your work number (if you have a private number that isn't screened by your current employer), your cellular number, and your e-mail address. You can also list specific times for each contact method. For example, "You can reach me at 555-5555 any time after 5 pm. Before 5 pm, please call XXX-XXXX." That will make it easier for potential interviewers to reach you. With that in mind, you need to prepare all of your contact channels for these potential calls.

10 Hot Jobs
and the Certifications You need to get them
  

by Tony Jacowski   -  

While scouting for the top 10 hot jobs, we combed through tons of data offline as well online. Making a small list for just 10 hot jobs has taken some important considerations like the following ones:

1. Longevity of relevance of the job

2. Salary and growth potential

3. Universality of the field

While most job seekers looked for higher positions and salaries, others considered permanence of their job was their priority. It is noteworthy that the definition of job security has changed substantially in the last decade and it is all about continuing in the same job but under different employers. Ready? Here we go!

10 Hot Jobs And The Certifications You Need To Get Them

The top hot jobs were all of a high profile nature and most of them were in the field of computers.

1. CISCO CERTIFIED NETWORK EXPERT: This hits the top for the second successive year. Candidates consider themselves lucky to pass this test even on their second attempt where the percentage success rate is just 15. This hits the top because of its ever-increasing popularity, salary potential and vast potential.

2. MICROSOFT CERTIFIED SYSTEMS ENGINEER: The MCSE certification has stayed on top for many years now. The job involves working with operating systems and security issues. The popularity is also because it doesn't require additional certification to get through to your dream job. Job profile: Systems Engineer and Systems Analyst.

3. TEACHER: Why do you think this found its way to Top-3 slot? Close to 1.3 million teachers need to be recruited in the next 5-6 years. Teachers in the K-12 bracket: 724,000 and post secondary teachers: 603,000. We had to give this position its due. All states offer various educator preparation programs for aspirants through their respective boards of education.

4. REGISTERED NURSES: Registered nurses are going to be in top demand in the next 5-6 years due to the government's spending on healthcare programs. This had to happen sooner than later after the recent well-publicized nursing shortage. Certification: The boards of nursing in every state administers the certification exam, National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). Minimum qualification to appear for this exam is graduation from approved nursing schools. Average salary, $53,000

5. COMPUTER SOFTWARE ENGINEER: CNN reports that 307,000 computer software engineers will be required in the next 3-4 years. This is one interesting job with lots of code writing or fixing for making the computers of the world work. Certification: University graduates with computer science as a major, with physics and math can jumpstart their careers. Some top certifications are MCSE, Sun Certified Java Programmer, MySQL and Red Hat Certified Engineer.

6. INVESTMENT AND FINANCIAL ADVISOR: Tops the salary charts for both federal as well as private employers. Based on the risk profile and risk-benefit analysis, they advise their clients on personal and business financial matters. Salary ranges from $28,500 to $145,600. Certification: College graduation along with a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) certification can enhance prospects.

7. CISCO CERTIFIED INTERNETWORK EXPERT (CCIE): If difficulty, prestige and recognitions are any thing to go by, here it is. CCIE is not among the most sought after certification but it is very difficult. This simply is the most feared exam of all. Certification: By CISCO

8. RED HAT CERTIFIED ENGINEER (RHCE): Increase of interest in open source code has shot up the popularity of this job. This is hailed as the MCSE of Linux certifications.

New High Demand for Career Skills
By careers, 20:22

New High Demand for Career Skills  
by David Wood  - 

The days when you could find thousands of jobs involving semi-skilled or unskilled work have gone. Automation has replaced human labour and taken away great slices of activity which once involved mundane, routine tasks. Information technology is also beginning to take over in some areas of skilled and professional work, such as quality control and printing, design and administration. Transferable or portable skills - skills which can be adapted and shaped to meet the requirements of several different types of job - are becoming increasingly important.

If your skills have become outdated in a shrinking market, you must be prepared to retrain if you are to succeed in finding new employment. Progress will not stand still simply to accommodate your need for a job, and there is no Divine Right to employment if you are not prepared to put some effort into it.

You may feel you are too old to learn new tricks. The simple truth is that thousands of people are ding exactly this throughout the country, and the opportunities for retaining or catching up with lost education are expanding all the time. Don't be put off by your age or use this as an excuse: you are never too old to learn - it might just take you a little longer.

Deciding to knuckle down to update or expand your skills is largely a matter of adopting the right attitude, but deciding precisely what skills should be updated or expanded has to be researched very thoroughly, and has a crucial part to play in your campaign to find the right job.

If you know your hopes of getting back into your old type of employment are slim, this is the time to begin putting your future into sharper focus and to start planning with a clearer understanding of what you are trying to achieve. To do this you will need to build on your past.

What Can An MBA Do For Your Career?
By careers, 20:01

What Can An MBA Do For Your Career?  
by Tony Jacowski

It is not enough that we do our best; sometimes we have to do what is required - Sir Winston Churchill.

An MBA helps you acquire the broadest range of people skills and a perfected set of proven management skills in addition to helping you develop your thought processes. An MBA also prepares you for positions of leadership. Simply put, an MBA helps you become a leader with appropriate leadership tool set. Once you get these things under your belt, which is the essence of getting an MBA, the things such as making the "right career move" and "achieving your goals" all fall into their logical place.

What Does An MBA Teach You?

An MBA helps you by broadening your educational horizons. As an MBA you are looked upon to lead teams and carry out the goals of an organization. MBA's are routinely called upon to implement tasks that require both strong leadership skills and vision.

1. Personality Development: The general aptitude that one has developed during his or her undergraduate studies will need to be translated into management ability. During the course of MBA studies, students learn various aspects of business activities and the intricate nuances involved.

2. Leadership Ability: Leadership abilities are not limited to those who born leaders. The characteristics of leadership such as composed nature, analytical abilities, an eye for detail and identifying winning strategies are instilled during the course of MBA. A manager is looked upon as a leader having vision and ability to lead from the front and by example. Six Sigma Professionals often have as much, if not more, leadership potential than newly-minted MBA's.

3. Domain Expertise: An MBA is supposed to be a person of resource. If for example, marketing is your chosen field for MBA, you will deeply study the science of marketing and selling consumer and capital goods. This goal is also achieved by studying the psychology of the market as a whole as well as consumers. As an MBA student, you will also study how to quantify the market, budgeting and how to manage corporate finance.

Characteristics of an MBA

There are several attributes of an MBA. But the critical one which differentiates an MBA (or any good manager, for that matter) from others is the understanding of the difference between choosing a conventional approach and a radical approach, on a case by case basis. In addition to this, through an MBA you will learn the intricacies of planning, goal setting, and interpersonal skills (being a team player). You will identify the importance of building relationships with your employees; creating a good working environment, developing intuition, commitment and discipline. This list also includes work culture, competence and the ability to delegate tasks.

What Does All This Do For You?

Brainstorming, which is the mainstay MBA training, teaches the techniques of developing great ideas and strategies. But more than that, apart from your academics, you learn composure, empathy and team building skills which are all the qualities of a good manager. Large corporations are looking for more and more MBAs for their senior positions not because others are incompetent, but because MBAs will have learned things that would take years for others to learn without going through a formal MBA program.

How to Maintain your Career in Management - Simple Concepts and Skills
By careers, 18:35

How to Maintain your Career in Management - Simple Concepts and Skills   
by Art Fellon

In order for you to maintain your crucial management career there are a number of basic concepts and skills to understand and learn.

Master and understand them wisely .

1) Importance of analyzing cost variances

This is what accountants do with the difference between budgeted costs and actual costs. Significant differences (which accountants insist on calling "variances") are reviewed and targeted for corrective action.

In many companies, accountants spend so much time identifying variances and making sure they're allocated to the right accounting period that they never get around to telling management what the variances mean or what might have caused them. Don't assume that accountants know the meaning or cause of every variance, and don't let them imply that you should, either. Make them give you a plain-language explanation of what caused the variances (you might insist on calling them "differences" to assert your position). If they don't know, make it clear that you expect them to find out and get back to you.

2) Exports as a vital component of the company's financial reports

"Export or die" is a highly overrated slogan. As an effective manager should regard this as a choice between two legitimate alternatives, and the second one might not be too bad.

Exporting is a pain in the neck. If you're already doing it, it may be worth continuing, but you're always Your life and peace of mind are at the mercy of foreign exchange fluctuations, volatile political changes, legal problems, and bewildering cultural quirks that would challenge the patience of a diplomat or the-President's chief of protocol. In many backward Moslem countries , showing your host the sole of your shoe is a cultural insult serious enough to have you executed by a firing squad. You will notice that in most photos of prominent American politicians visiting such areas the photos invariably show the politician or military leader's feet planted firmly on the ground as if they are glued there. Culture nuances can often be overlooked or not understood for their significance.

If you recall when Prince Bandr of Saudi Arabia visited the Bush ranch what the west saw in the photos was a nice foreigner dressed in blue jeans chatting with his good friend George W. Busch . The message the west saw in their eyes was that he is our friend " One of the Boys'. The message to the other side was rather different. First of all Prince Bandr sat on a pillow.

He was physically higher ( by several inches ) than the President of the United States . More important .

Secondly his finger was pointed at George Bush in the important photos which were displayed world wide. The message was you stupid .... You had better know your place . Who needs such aggravation .

Better to stay at home .

3) Meetings

It's been said that managers have meetings only when they don't know what to do. That's not entirely true. They also have meetings when they know what to do, but want to share the responsibility, or when they want someone else to do it or suggest it.

The purpose of many meetigs and the committees they span is to ensure that no one specifuc can held responsible.

Even with the most accurate meeting notes is very difficult to assign specific responsibility for actions and mistakes . The meeting or committee is faceless .

4)Financing

Finance has close ties to accounting, and in fact many people who work in fiancé may be accounting majors who could not pass the exams.

The folks in finance figure out how to pay for things ( such as recently acquired companies or a larger more spacious head office building ) by selling more stock ( which they call "equity" securities ") or borrowing through the sale of bonds ( which they call "debt security ").

The finance department may also field enquiries from stockholders and suggest how much profit, if any will be paid to stockholders as dividends in each quarter.

5) Recruiting

Savvy recruiting is one of the most important weapons in your corporate management arsenal because you need a good team to work with.

As well a good team can help you shine through good weather and bad.

Most managers recruit so badly that you can look better than average just by avoiding stupid mistakes.

A vacancy offers two choices.

You can either fill the job or eliminate it.

If you decide that the position is essential then proceeds with care. What you want to do is to hire people who meet the following two major criteria:

1) They are competent enough to their job, but not ambitious enough to come after yours.

2) They feel loyalty to you for hiring them, so you can count on them to stand behind you in a crisis or at least not stab you in the back .

6) Training

I keep six honest serving men, They taught me all I knew; Their names are what and why and when And How and Where and Who. This passage from Rudyard Kipling's "The Elephant's Child" has lots of relevance in management.

Use it as a guide when you are

1) Preparing a presentation

2 ) Explaining something in a training or orientation session

3) Justifying a major project

4) Writing a letter or memo

Testing what you write or say against these six key words helps you explain your point to others --and help you understand it yourself.

7)Advertising

Don't fool around with advertising. Delegate the work to an outside ad agency. You can then plead ignorance (which is, of course, the truth) and crucify the agency if a campaign flops. Experts make ideal scapegoats when things go wrong.

I am sure that you can think of many advertising "duds".

Who do you think bore the heat for the poor mistakes?

In all likelihood it was the advertising agency and never the management or especially the committee that hired them.

8) Managing Time

Management revolves around dealing with people and other resources. To do that well, you have to manage yourself. That boils down to managing your use of time. Good managers do this naturally or learn how to do it. Bad managers never master the art. .

Manage your time effectively by:

1) Minimizing interruptions

2 Setting aside thinking time

3)Controlling meetings with an iron hand

4)Refusing to get involved with activities that aren't connected with their objectives

5 ) Demanding that subordinates never bring them problems without also proposing solutions

6 )Announcing to everyone within earshot that their schedule is packed, and they'd have trouble making time for one more meeting, conference, or obligations .

Lastly a "my door is always open" philosophy can be one of the world's worst time-wasters.

You have to be available sometimes, of course, because you can't afford to isolate yourself from the mainstream of communications. The key is to make yourself accessible at certain times, so that your day is not riddled by constant interruptions. A secretary can serve as an excellent buffer to defend your schedule against unwanted meetings, drop-in visitors and casual employee chit-chat.

The two most common and most noticeable symptoms of poor time management are excessive overtime work and lugging work home at night and on weekends .

If you are doing either then you should analyze how you spend your day. Some deviant corporate cultures actually value and reward behavior of an unbalanced personal and family lifestyle which in the end result is very poor economy of any sort.

You may have to "go with the flow" - at least with overtime work.

Taking home one's work is the easiest ploy of all.

After all who can tell what is in the heavy briefcase?

Learn and understand these concepts and skills and you will be around for a long time. As with most of the important things in life that really matter actually they are quite simple.

It all depends on the application and being thorough .

Remember that those that don't know what to do go into a management career so your competition is minimal .

Dressing for Your First Job Interview
By careers, 23:21

Dressing for Your First Job Interview  
by Michael Acosta

In today's employment world of high competition, the way you look when making your first impression can prove to be the "make or break" of your job interview. This is epically true in jobs where a potential client/customer will base their opinion of your product (i.e. retail jobs) on your appearance. If you want to be seriously considered for any position, it is always better to over-dress than under-dress.

I can't tell you how many HR people tell me how they eliminate people in the first seconds of a job interview. based solely on appearance.

Avoid wearing clothing that is baggy and unclean. If at all possible wear collared shirts. The fabric should be clean and comfortable. The last thing anyone wants to do in an interview is seem uncomfortable. Wear colors that are light. Research indicates the color that humans respond to most is blue. Shoes should be polished and clean. Wear socks that are not white! Tuck in you shirt and wear a belt. Make sure that you prepare your outfit the night before. This will keep you from being late. It will also give you time to fine-tune your look. Remember employers like candidates who stick out with their personality not their clothes... that is unless you are going for a fashion job.

Getting the Right People - People Who Fit

Getting the Right People - People Who Fit  
by Paul Phillips

Jim Collins in his book Good to Great talks about "getting the right people on the bus" before deciding where to drive it.

A key factor in getting the right people is understanding what competencies we are looking for and how to find out if someone has these.

Identifying knowledge and skills is relatively easy - those above water in our Iceberg model, (Milkovich and Newman), but those underwater -self concepts, traits and motives were more difficult. However, there is a technique to help us.

Firstly we need to define what competencies we are looking for. What did past successful people have, what did the failures lack, what is required to take us forward. Once these have been defined in terms of specific behaviours required, we need to see if a potential employee has had an opportunity to demonstrate these and then to find out if they possess them.

An example may be the competency of "Initiative". Has the candidate been in a job where they could have displayed this competency? Most people have.

We can then ask the question "tell me about the last time you came across a problem with the way the xyz process worked in your current job. You can then probe to find out what they did about it.

Use several examples and really get down to the detail to the extent that you are fairly sure they did consistently what they are telling you. If this is the case there is a good chance they will repeat this behaviour in the future.

Take out more insurance though. While they are telling you what happened, ask about the other people involved and take down their names. Then ask if you can call these people. During your reference checking, verify what they are telling you is factual and not what they think they should have done or would have liked to have done.

If you carefully define what you think are the competencies of the people who will fit, plan the questions you are going to ask and be tenacious in making sure their past behaviour demonstrates these competencies, you will have increased your chance of finding the right person.

The business benefits By having key corporate competencies, detailed in terms of behaviours, and rigorously using these to recruit, develop and manage performance will build the culture you want and will save the expense of hiring, or keeping, people who don't fit.

Take Charge of Your Career -- You Don't Have a Choice
By careers, 20:23

Take Charge of Your Career -- You Don't Have a Choice

Recently a high school student sent me an AllExperts question which boiled down to:

Which computer career pays the most money and has the most job security?

I was floored.

Job security?

Does this 16 year old kid write term papers on a typewriter? Call her friends on an AT&T Princess telephone? Twirl a hula hoop? Listen to a transistor radio?

Make the most money?

Does anybody really give credence to those tables showing that in Boise ID the average programmer makes $1543 more than the average network engineer?

Who cares? Do you want to be average? Is anybody average?

The truth is, although it'd be irresponsible of me to have advised her to study COBOL, she'll make the most money at whatever career she most enjoys, given some reasonable demand for it in the marketplace.

The more she works at giving her employers her best, the more money she'll make.

The more she uses her skills to solve more problems for more people -- and this can and should be some activity far beyond normal employment -- the more money she'll make.

Chances are, by the time she graduates from college the highest paying computer skill will be something nobody outside research laboratories has yet heard of.

In the long run, she'll make as much money as she sets out to make. No more and no less.

Some computer programmers are now on welfare.

Bill Gates is the richest man in the world.

The more you *create your own job* -- whether you're formally an employee or not -- the more security you have.

In THE MILLIONAIRE NEXT DOOR, Thomas Stanley and William Danko compare the "security" of employment with the "insecurity" of self-employment.

Work for a company and you get a paycheck at regular intervals, as long as the company needs you, does not go out of business and is not merged or bought out by another company.

The owner of a pest control business has irregular income, but from maybe 1000 or so different customers.

If one of those customers moves away or switches to a competitor, the pest control owner still receives income from the other 999.

Given reasonable management and marketing, pest control businesses will survive as long as the world contains mice, roaches and other bugs.

I wonder how many Enron employees now wish they were pest exterminators?

Techies who understand they must constantly search for new ways to help people -- whether employers or customers -- will make a lot of money in this the third millenium.

Techies who just want management to leave them alone to code in peace will have a niche when the economy is booming as in 1999. In bad times . . . .

If you want real job security, own your own company.

Your Job Search Competitors . . . This Could Get Ugly!

Your Job Search Competitors . . . This Could Get Ugly!
By Paul Megan

OK. We live in a highly competitive society.  But when it comes to job search competitors things can get downright nasty.

Unfortunately, we don’t recognize the problem because we’re rarely required to meet face-to-face with the person who’s in competition for the job we’re dying to have.  Your prospective employer is not going to hand you a list of candidates you have to beat out for the job.

As a result we get complacent. Out of sight, out of mind, we think.  So we’re not prepared sharply enough to do battle with our job search competitors.  But, believe me, they’re there.  And you better have a strategy or two to deal with job search competitors at the risk of losing out to them without even knowing it.
Most of us think of competition in terms of a traditional job search. That’s the kind most of us have been brought up to think is the way to find a job.  You know . . . prepare a resume, mass distribute it to advertised job openings, a bunch of companies, a few job sites, some agencies and recruiters.  And then wait for an invitation for an interview.

If we’re operating in that kind of traditional mindset, then our job search competitors are paper tigers.  In other words, we think whoever has the best resume beats the competition.

That couldn’t be further from the truth.  Those of us who work everyday with the dynamics of the 21st Century job marketplace know that traditional, old-fashioned job search methods don’t eliminate job search competitors, it produces them!

When you post your resume on a job site like Monster or Hot Jobs . . . when you answer a job opening ad or distribute your resume to a bunch of organizations or agencies . . . you’re creating your competition.  You’re putting yourself right in the middle of everyone else who’s going after that job.  It could be hundreds, even thousands.  You’ve just dramatically reduced your odds of even getting a hearing, much less a job.

The World’s Fastest Alternative Job Search System points out that only way to eliminate your job search competitors is to establish a unique one-on -one relationship with a prospective employer.  And do it without coming on, hand in hand, looking for a job.

Fortunately, this remarkable plan shows you exactly how to do establish that kind of non-competitive relationship.  And it shows you how to do it in a matter of days.  In fact, if you follow the plan carefully, you can be entertaining a job offer in as little as two weeks.

Sure takes the sting out of job search competitors!

Get Your Next IT Job by Selling Yourself the UNSelfish Way
By careers, 23:26

Get Your Next IT Job by Selling Yourself the UNSelfish Way
By Richard Stooker

When we hear that if we're seeking a job or a promotion we must "sell ourselves," we inwardly rebel. That's selfish, we think. And we don't want to be selfish.

I say, the opposite is true.

"Selling ourselves" to others is the unselfish reaching out to other people, to show them how we can help them.

Because to simply *assume* that employers should be able to understand from our resumes how great we are is the true selfishness.

Let me explain.

Good sales and marketing is UNselfish, because to be effective it must center on the needs and desires of the people who want that product or service.

Bad (ineffective) marketing says, "We're a wonderful company and you should buy our product because it is so wonderful."

Good marketing (and by "good" I mean *effective*) says, "Our product is wonderful because it will help you do this, solve that problem and feel good."

See the difference? Good marketing is centered on the customer and helping the customer solve a problem or meet a need or desire. Bad marketing is centered on the company and product.

***  Fed up with your present job? Start your own internet business right now!  It´s your choice! Residual income or full time internet business - earn money even while you sleep! The Super Affiliate Handbook will show you how and will guide you to success...!  ***

Many companies who market this way assume that it's the "job" of consumers to make the connections, to understand just why and how that wonderful product will help the consumer. Therefore, they're not only selfish, they're lazy.

They're not taking the final step to see things from the viewpoint of their potential customers.

Good marketing does as much as possible to show consumers that the product is wonderful because of how and why it can help consumers.

How does this apply to you seeking a job?

Most job seekers, whether techies or anybody else, think that their only duty is to provide a resume which shows they're qualified and to show up for the interview.
The manager in charge of hiring is supposed to read the resume, realize how wonderful the applicant is and hire them.

Most people write their resumes as bad marketing. They write how wonderful they are without explaining how they can help the company they're applying to.
They may well have wonderful degrees, wonderful certifications and wonderful experience.

Many techies have the attitude that these wonderful things should be enough.
But if they'd write something that the Human Resources manager wants to read about how they will help the company, that's taking a step most people unconsciously sneer at it.

Because it's "sales and marketing." Sales and marketing is selfish -- everybody knows that without questioning it.

So they write only about themselves and not how they can help that potential employer.

So it's the "selfish" person who takes the extra effort to use "sales and marketing" to explain how they can help the company who actually gets the job. So everybody else can sneer at them.

And send their resumes to the next employer -- because you got the job they applied for.

Your Career - Have You Met A Roadblock?
By careers, 13:57

Your Career - Have You Met A Roadblock?
By Tony Jacowski

Most of the time it is employees who feel stuck and cornered and their career not advancing as they would like it to. After putting in all the hard work and gaining experience and they thought everything was just right for their career to advance. Then they realize that something is amiss and they are stuck when the rest of the world is merrily marching ahead. But hold on a minute; before putting the blame on someone else, have you thought about what could have happened?
Here are a few indicators that tell you if you have met a roadblock in your career path:
1. You are sailing along, making your superiors look good and making money for the company. And just when you thought you were about to get that promotion, you find someone new arising on the horizon and you suspect he is brought to stop you from getting the new position, or at worst, dislodge you from your job.
2. You are doing just fine and the company (your employer) has even promised you a bonus the next fiscal quarter.  You discover, one fine day, that your company is finding it difficult to live up to their promises in the face of new competition and is, in fact, planning huge layoffs.
3. You realize, after putting in years of sweat and hard work, that your employer (a small cap company) is being more than conservative in this competitive world with no plans for expansion or technical upgrades to face challenges.  The gains you made are withering away. If you stay in this place any longer, you face the danger of losing out completely.
4. You think, quite often, that there is too much work and you are unable to handle it as well as you would have liked. You want to demand/request more resources or manpower irrespective of whether the increased workload is illusionary or real. You think that adding a few more hands will ease the pressure but management is skeptical and denies your request.
5. You took a job with a small company, as you were in urgent need of earning an income. You had hoped to seek a better one as thing progressed. Now you find it hard to convince large companies of your abilities, as they look down upon you as a guy from a small company used to an alien work culture.
6. A sizeable number (59%) of employees don’t think depression and illness is a roadblock to their career advancement. The situation is worse with female employees thinking (of course, not without truth) that sexism/harassment, pregnancy and childcare are their roadblocks (source: depression center, University of Michigan).
There are many people who think, at times, that they are stuck at a roadblock concerning their career ambitions. Sports figures (remember Jennifer Capriati); politicians and business people, all find themselves in this similar, Catch-22, situation.  They are often at a loss for ideas as to how to move forward. Knowing the early signs of career stagnation will put you on the track to career recovery.
