The Worst Interview Questions Ever - And How To Answer Them by Debra Wheatman - Nov, 2009 Where do you see yourself in ten years? I am sure you are thinking – how the heck should I know? I agree. I don’t know where I am going to be tomorrow, much less ten years from now. Hopefully it’s on a boat sipping Mai Tai’s with my husband as we gaze into a sunset. Is that likely? I don’t know, but I am going to try. Unfortunately, when you get that question in an interview, the boat answer will probably not work in you... |

Five Ways Body Language Can Cost You The Job by Debra Wheatman - Nov, 2009 What your body conveys can tell far more about your feelings than you suspect. How you stand, your eye contact (or lack thereof), and the position of your hands, among other things send a message. Depending on your body’s language establishes a tone that you subconsciously convey. Most of the time, you have no idea that you are giving off these signals. They are quite automatic. Oftentimes you have no idea that you are conv... |

Job Seekers Beware: Companies Frequently Break Reference Policies by Liz Handlin - Nov, 2009 With the national unemployment rate holding steady near 10 percent, it should come as no surprise there is a lot of competition for jobs across the country. What is perplexing, however, is how many people have bad professional references that can derail even the most qualified candidate, according to Heidi Allison, president of Allison & Taylor, the nation’s leading reference checking and employment verification firm. “Peop... |

“Fair and Middling Talent” Only, Please by Jessica Lewis - Nov, 2009 One of the fun things about Twitter is I can see a tweet linking to an article, read the article and think, “Huh, that’s interesting. Maybe I should blog about it,” see another tweet a few hours later linking to an article, read that article and see that it is a response to the first article, and think, “Huh, that’s really interesting. Now I really need to blog about it.” And I have my blog topic for the day. The first arti... |

The Value of a Verbal Cushion by Randy Wooden - Nov, 2009 From time to time a candidate will face a question he simply wishes to avoid. Whether that question deals with anticipated income, reasons for leaving your last job, specific career goals, occasionally a candidate may find it advantageous to avoid a direct and specific answer. So how’s that supposed to work? First, a definition. A verbal cushion is typically a series of words spoken right after the employer’s question.... |

Appearance Matters! by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 There was a story on a popular Network TV News Magazine recently about people that are unemployed and decide to get plastic surgery to improve their chances of getting a job offer. They spend anywhere from $12,000 to $18,000 on tummy tucks, facelifts, breast reductions, or a myriad of other procedures in the hopes of looking more ‘hirable’ in some way. Does appearance really matter that much? May surgery really be necessar... |

Are You a Talker? by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 In an interview, are you a talker? Many people that can normally carry on great two-way conversations, talk way too much in an interview! Whether it's nerves, a compulsion to make sure the interviewer knows everything about them, or a false idea that they are supposed to dominate the interview, people often hurt their chances of progressing in the hiring process because of an overactive mouth. A good interview is a tw... |

Being ‘Pleasantly Persistent’! by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 “I sent in a resume...” or “I had an interview...over a week ago and haven’t heard anything. Should I call to follow-up?” or “How much is too much when calling or emailing to follow-up?” I get asked this question in one form or another regularly, and my standard answer is: “It pays to be ‘Pleasantly Persistent’!” What’s that? It’s connecting multiple times in a way that draws them to you rather than giving them the urge... |
