Casual Articles - Interviewing Skills: Presentation of Your Work History
I heard an advertisement on the radio the other day that surprised me, not because they were saying anything noteworthy, but because it was so banal. It was a national company’s ad. They pay an ad agency to write and produce their commercials. There are so many words at their disposal, so many descriptions, so many emotional statements to attract customers, why would they use the trite phrase, “ knowledgeable, friendly staff to serve you”? Even if they couldn’t think of anything exciting, they could have

Every job seeker wants to gain as much exposure to job openings as possible, so by “snail mail” or email, off go r?sum?s to recruiters, job ads, company web pages, or the companies themselves in the hope that someone will review them.Ah, but unfortunately, in terms of initial screening, that “someone” has been increasingly replaced by an “it”: the Applicant Tracking System (ATS).You see, thanks mostly to the Internet, companies and recruiters today are being increasingly inundated by
As you settle back in your chair, trying to look a lot more relaxed than you feel, the interviewer picks up your resume or application and starts to ask for details about your prior experience.
If you have a resume that specifies quantifiable results, now is your chance to expand on that. If you increased sales by 20% per quarter or completed a departmental reorganization that resulted in a budget reduction of 10%, you are on your way. Obviously such achievements outlined in your resume impressed the potential employer enough to call you in for an interview, so your amplification of the details of actions you took will be eagerly welcomed.

Obtaining a long distance education was once thought to be for students with little or no responsibility, or had the ability to be attached to their computer at the same date and time every week, with positively no interruptions. If a family was a responsibility, it was almost easier to drive to and attend classes on campus, as keeping little ones quiet while taking a course was nearly impossible.Fortunately, the internet era has allowed us to morph into the world of asynchronous c

Companies increasingly prefer using an extranet over email to communicate with their team members, clients, and suppliers for document sharing because it ideally suits the groups engaged in collaboration; whereas, email is best-suited for one-to-one communication only. Generally email programs are ineffective to prioritize messages and attachments. In an email, everything arrives in the same place and in the same order in which it was sent. Whereas, with an extranet, all project related documents are auto

We all succumb to the annual ritual of making a bunch of resolutions about how we will change our lives with the start of the New Year: eat better and healthier foods, exercise more, reorganize our rather hectic and stressful lives in order to live longer, and learn to enjoy what we have. In most instances, regardless of how dedicated we are to these resolutions, most of our good intentions give way to the realities and pressures of everyday living, and before we know it, we are pretty much back to wher

Every great corporation we see today started as a business idea. It must have started as a small business and developed into a large-scale business over time and effort. Having this in mind, success of these small businesses should be taken very seriously in order to have a virile and sustainable economic growth in any nation like ours.For example in Africa, Nigeria has about 35% return on investment, which is the highest in the world today, with this, there is room for small businesses to thrive and su
Unfortunately, most of us perform work where the results are less obvious. If you have worked in production or customer service or retail, it is very difficult to tie your efforts directly to company results. In such a case, try to highlight any personal successes or management recognition that demonstrates your competence.
Any promotion is excellent, even if only to a lead position or being put in charge of a special project. Describe what you did so that the interviewer can appreciate your prior employer’s belief in your ability to take on new responsibilities.
If no promotions were made (often none are readily available), identify any situations where you were singled out for recognition. That may range from being employee of the month to being asked to train new coworkers or receiving a written or
