While the Internet has changed the job search process and made it easier to access multiple job sites, it can also become cumbersome and confusing to track your progress. A client of mine has recommended a site that will customize your search -- www.jobsniper.com This site will "Automate your job search." You can activate up to 5 custom Job Search Agents, and get jobs sent directly to your email account. You can also track and monitor your job search agents. If you try this site and find it successful, let me know so I can pass the word to others.
Q. I don't seem to be able to get past the first interview -- no call-backs. What am I doing wrong? How can I overcome this hurdle? Giving up hope. A. Never give up. If you are getting interviews and no call-backs, begin to look at your interviewing technique. One of the best ways to interview is with a "consultant" mind-set. Take the time to analyze what the company is seeking -- not just what is written in the ad or job description, but what it would take to get the job done, and done well! In an interview, listen for clues in the questions asked and the comments made. Let the interviewer know through your responses and your questions that you have an understanding of what it would take to do this job and can prove it through past experiences. Skilled interviewers are using "Behavioral Interviewing" techniques to interview candidates. What this means is that they are listening for past behavior as an indicator of future success. If you did it somewhere else, you can do it for this company. It is important for you to know what you can bring to a company and sell yourself accordingly. What have been your successes in the past? Can you tell stories about those successes? Prepare your stories so that you can demonstrate how your past experiences can transfer to new situations. Best wishes on letting the employer know that you are the "best person for the job." The Interview Coach "My greatest point is my persistence. I never give up in a match. However down I am, I fight until the last ball. My list of matches shows that I have turned a great many so-called irretrievable defeats into victories." -- Bjorn Borg, 20th c. Swedish tennis player
Dear Carole: I bought your book, Interview Fitness Training, and at the third interview, I was hired into my new job with the U.S. Marine Corps, civilian investigator. My most sincere appreciation for your tips on how to conduct myself during the interview as well as how to "interview" my prospective employer. I did recommend your book to friends who, like me, were searching for decent jobs. I will continue recommending your book because it does work! Fernando Congratulations to Fernando -- best wishes in your new position!
