Hub You - Why Do Interviews Die: That Sinking Feeling and How to Prevent it!
ForewordWhen friends asked me why not you write the ways of how to shop online safely, I asked him, “Why me?”He said, a lot of people having problem on shopping online without worrying about anything. Why not you write some buying tips and by adding in some advice. It will help them a lot he replies.We had met but a few times and I was able to think readily of many who had more aptitude regarding the subject other than myself.It is true that I have spent many years using the online shopping tool to buy my software and stuff and I do had this weird feeling “not save, and better be careful”. During this time it has been my job
Our lives are tranquil and smooth so seldom, it seems. We have our ups-and-downs, our good days and bad days, our sunny moods and black moods. The less we swing in opposite directions, the happier we tend to be. The biology of our bodies craves balance and consistency -- changes in our thought patterns and emotions interrupt the regularity of our nerve pathways leading to chemical inbalance and internal disturbances.Stress kills because stress is the critical determinant of how we think, how we feel, how we react: all activities which terribly upset that silent body chemistry. Events cause stress: the death or illness of a loved one, fear of ter
1. Interviews often occur because someone has reviewed a resume and interprets something that you have written in ways that you didn't intend. Someone believes that you have a skill that you didn't list; sometimes, they misread something in your experience. Within 15 minutes, each of you knows that something is wrong but because interview etiquette doesn't permit it, the conversation languishes on.
2. Sometimes it is your mistake. Sometimes you have overstated an experience or skill in your resume. In job markets like these, it is common for people to include every skill or experience they have been near or around in their resume in the hope that they will get an interview. As I screen resumes, it has become too common for me to find out about people having 4 months of experience with the core skill of the job I am trying to fill. That is rarely adequate for my client in the searches we are attempting to complete, yet, like mission inspectors in Iraq, I have to ask a follow-up question to deduce that the
Have you ever noticed that for some colleagues and bosses you'll move mountains while for others, you can't seem to do anything right? What's going on here? Is it just you or is there a larger issue at work?Recently a friend and I were discussing an incident where she lost her "stop-gap" job as a sales clerk at a bookstore. She's a professional woman who had been supplementing her free-lance writing income with several days a week at this local branch of a national chain. In spite of the fact that she thought she was doing a good job, every time she turned around the owner was riding her for some transgression. First she was blamed for some

Don't use vague generalities in your headlines. Be as specific as possible. For example, you may want to put a date into your headline, or a profit increase of some specific percentage, etc. When you use something specific, like a date, an exact dollar amount, or an exact quantity in a headline, it suddenly becomes more believable.Using specific numbers makes the reader believe that you really know what you are talking about, you have researched the information, and that you can document what you are saying. Hopefully, that is all true. You never want to lie, it will ruin your credibility and eventually destroy your business.But, hav

A question I hear or read often is, ‘is that professional enough?’ What is ‘professional’, and how is one professional and what is considered unprofessional? The actual definition of ‘professional’ is “Of, relating to, engaged in, or suitable for a profession: lawyers, doctors, and other professional people.” Or “Conforming to the standards of a profession: professional behavior.”When considering whether a service or location is professional, a great response comes from the dictionary again, which defines professional as “A skilled practitioner; an expert.” I have met many skilled practitioners who are not very professiona
Have you looked at your Yellow Page ad recently? You know, the one you’ve had for years. Has it changed much? Is it getting all the customers you want? Are you really tracking the results? Perhaps you are doing everything you can or don’t have the time to do anything at all. The day will come when the rep calls to renew the ad and you should take a few moments to make sure it’s working hard for you. Besides a headline that excludes your name, unless it’s a brand-name, and a picture that ties back to this headline, have you given much thought to the copy? This is the critical area that can make or break a sale. And it’s probably missing from your curren
3. The interviewer is off in another thought and you don't bring them around to pay attention to you. Although an interview may be the most important thing in your day, it may be one of 25 priorities in the interviewers. What you may interpret as a dying interview may be the interviewer thinking about a project responsibility, the next question they're going to ask, their commute, an argument with a spouse/significant other or child, an upcoming meeting or a million other possibilities.
4. You are boring the interviewer. Too often, answers to questions send the job-seeker off in lengthy answers that are just downright boring and long. It's not the question; it's that the person hasn't organized their thoughts around a subject so the answer is becomes so lengthy, uninteresting and, often, have no relationship with the original question.
