Get Hired

Get that Job! Ten Plus One Ideas that just Might Get You Hired!
Although it’s been said that “You can’t judge a book by its cover,” it happens all the time. In business as well as in life in general we are always judging and being judged. That all important first impression is lasting.

It’s been statistically proven that people make judgments about others in the first 30 seconds to one minute of meeting them. Therefore, job seekers have only a short time to make that impression a positive one.

Everyone knows they should be clean, neat and polished “looking” when they walk in the door for the interview. That’s only part of the preparation though.

When seeking employment, there is something you can do to make yourself memorable to the interviewer. Improve your interview skills. Following are ten (plus one) easy ways to do this. Each will demonstrate positive things about you to the interviewer.

1. Arrive for your interview at least ten minutes early. You show that you are interested and have manners enough NOT to keep the interviewer waiting.

2. If you are sitting when the interviewer arrives, stand up when they come in. Introduce yourself and give a firm handshake. Again, this speaks to business etiquette and interpersonal skills.

3. Prior to the interview, make sure you have scoped out the business. How? Research them online and discreetly stop by/drive by to gauge how people interact; what they are wearing, etc.

4. Be polite to everyone you meet. Leave the receptionist with as good impression of you as any other VIP! This shows that you consider everyone important.

5. Have questions for the interviewer and make sure you’ve listed them ahead of time. This shows you’ve given some thought to the position and have some idea of what the business is about.

6. Be able to discuss what you are “all about” in a two minute speech. Practice and memorize it ahead of time. You will almost always hear: ‘Tell me about yourself.” This way you can be ready to respond.

7. Bring at least two fresh copies of your resume. (Use good stock resume paper and not the paper you use every day.)

8. Make sure your resume reflects you. Don’t make up things to make yourself look good-you will be found out.

9. If you are now employed, do not badmouth your current employer. When asked why you are seeking other employment, it’s fair to say you want to expand your horizons or opportunities. Perhaps such opportunities are not available in your job. If you badmouth your boss, it will make the potential employer question your professionalism and loyalty and make them wonder how you would talk about people if you were hired.

10. After the interview, send a thank you note. In it you’ll thank the interviewer for taking time to see you and you’ll indicate that you are very interested in the position.

PLUS ONE: Ask for the job! So often people leave interviews and never express their interest. That’s a mistake. When you don’t ask for the job what message do you send the interviewer?

By using these suggestions, you’ll make a great impression on the interviewer. As a result, you’ll be the “book” that that is read beyond just the cover!

Employment Job Searching Using the Internet by: Dakota Caudilla


Finding employment opportunities has never been easier than now- with the consistent and constant growth of the Internet. Using the Internet, job seekers can simply find vacancies of their choice in the location of their choice. With a simple click of the mouse, a huge list of job opportunities is literally at their fingertips.
Once upon a time, the only way job seekers can find jobs is by browsing the classifieds section of the paper. This method of job seeking is not only tiring (what with the small prints) but it is limited within the area where the job seeker is residing. Job seekers who wish to find employment outside of their state or county will have to get their hands on classifieds of the state itself. Although this is not an entirely tough thing to do, but at the end of the day, you would have to sort through a huge stack of newspapers just to find the job that you want!
One of the most amazing things about finding employment on the Internet is that job seekers can sign up a membership account. Membership accounts are usually free, but with the free job seeker account, the options are limited. With a paid job seeker accounts, you’ll have more freedom and can place more information and details into your portfolio. However, millions upon millions of people have successfully found their dream jobs by using the free membership accounts offered by these employment agencies.
With an account with the employment website, the job seeker can place their personal information, contact details, education history and history of employment directly into the website’s database. Some employment websites even allow job seekers to place their recent photos into the database, which is useful to the employer, for verification purposes. With the entire resume placed in the database of the employment website, the job seeker searches through the database of vacancies in the website. A simple search can be done through the employment website’s search engine. You can fine tune the search by category, location, country, area of expertise, job type, and more. Interested job applicants with their resumes in the database will only have to log into their employment account, click apply, and the resume will be automatically sent to the potential employer.
Compare this with the way things were done about a decade or more ago; in order to apply for a job, you have to type a whole cover letter individually, print out your resume and send it by post. Although this task is not very hard to do, but it limits the choices of the job seeker down; and the process is slow, if the application actually reaches the employer or not. The postal industry did not have such a smashing record at that time.
As you can see, finding employment on the Internet is not only free, it’s extremely convenient. On top of that, you can search, browse and apply any time you want, irregardless of whether it’s office hours or not! 24 hours a day, 7 days a week – the employment website is available to every single one of their job seeker members.
