Interviewing skills as important as resume during a job search Lansing State Journal But if you're consistently getting first round interviews and not making it any further, it may be time to look at one aspect of job searching few people really... Via Eric Kramer
Trish Sadar's insight:
The job of the resume is to talk for you, sell you to the recruiters, and Land you the interview! So now that you have the interview, we should not rely on experience to land you the job.
Besides your experience and skills...why would you hire you for the position? What makes you the best candidate for the job? If everyone else had more experience and skills than you -- what strengths and competencies would separate you from the competition?
Do yourself a favor and reflect on the above three questions. If you don't know why you are the best candidate how will the interviewer know?

Good and bad examples of the number one key questions,"So, tell me about yourself."
Scoop.it!
You know your strengths and weaknesses, you've done research on the company and the job BUT you are struggling with what to wear on an interview.
Trish Sadar's insight:
Putting your best foot forward is like wearing a sign that says to the employer "This position and this interview is important to me" There is one more thing: When you look your best, you feel your best, and it boosts your confidence. Most everyone could use a boost of confidence when they are faced with an important interview. So next time you have that important interview: - Take the time to plan out what you are going to wear. - Make sure that the attire is professional and appropriate for the interview setting. (There is a difference with what you would wear to the beach, gym, mall, and clubs) Not only will you look good you will feel good -- that can't be a bad thing right? Lots of luck on acing your next interview. Until next time...PS - Live on Purpose!

There is nothing more important than the first impression one gives to someone. When going to an interview, a person has to look its best with a suite if possible clean and in her/his best presentation. The first impression and how you dress is crucial to start the process of the interview with a positive ending.
Scoop.it!
Trish Sadar's insight:
It amazes me how many people do not follow up after an interview. I can't tell you how many times a hiring decision was down to 2-3 candidates. The hiring manager then starts comparing everything to help him or her select one candidate over another. Then they receive a genuine, well thought out thank you note from one candidate. The decision is made:)
Hope this article and my humble advice help you ace your next interview, and of course land you the job! Until next time...PS - Live on Purpose!

When considering a new job, it is important to ensure the grass will truly be greener on the other side.
While working for a new employer often helps an employee's career, it can also be a detriment. A new study from Spherion Staffing Services revealed that long-term career advancement doesn't always happen by moving from one employer to another, but rather by staying with one company.
Specifically, 63% of workers said that long-term career advancement depends on staying with an employer for a long time. Additionally, 61% of workers today said that changing jobs every few years usually damages a person's long-term career prospects.
When considering a new job, it is important to ensure the grass will truly be greener on the other side.
Great Info, and not only accurate, but up to date
This was an interesting read, because just over three to four years I will be looking for a job hopefully within the aviation industry and as a pilot. Therefore these five tips I have just read have been a help and I will be able to refer back to them when having interviews and even further down the track when I wish to run and own my own business.

When I read this quote today, I could not wait to share it. I don't know if anyone has ever taken on the challenge of eliminating excuses all together; however, I can tell you it is not as easy as it sounds.
I challenged myself over a year ago to start removing words and habits that did not serve me. I initially thought that I rarely made excuses; however, when it was on my radar I started noticing that was not the case.
I would make comments to my kids like, I didn't get to that because....then I noticed that I was making excuses for everyone around me (my family, friends, etc.)
It took some time to re-wire my thoughts, words, and actions.
So the challenge is this: for those of you who have done this, what advice and lessons do you have to share?
For everyone else -- why not challenge yourself to eliminate excuses. The huge benefit that I noticed is that I hold myself to higher standards and hold myself to be accountable for my actions and decisions.
Would love to hear your thoughts!
Until next time....PS - Live on Purpose!

Here’s the problem: More than ever before, change is the rule, not the exception, in business. Globalization means more competition. The technology that makes you better than your competition today is obsolete tomorrow. Any knowledge you already possess is depreciating at an accelerating rate. How do you cope with the instability of it all?

The way we understand leadership today needs to evolve. Understanding that what you once knew that got you where you are is not enough to keep going is important. Understanding the new responsibilities and expectations of leaders is important. For instance, being a good leader sometimes means being a good follower. And as this article points out, a good leader is a consummate learner. Without that, the things you are leading people to have already passed and others are already on to the next thing.
