Intuition – The Gut Brain for Business Success
A wise and dear mentor once said to me "Given enough information your intuitive sense will be validated." Intuition some suggest comes from our gut brain as described by Dr. Hawkins in his book Get Out Of Your Own Way or by others as an unknown sense that has always been with us.Whatever the source, intuition is the gut brain for business. For example, have you ever met a potential client and felt immediately that this was a good fit or conversely met a prospect and couldn't get away from him or her fast enough. Why did you have those strong feelings? And more importantly, why did you listen to them?What happened when you failed to listen to your intuitive sense? Did you experience an internal "I told you so!?" Maybe, after ignoring your gut brain because you were afraid of being judgmental, you took a chance and the end result confirmed your intuition. Nowhere is this sense, intuition, more needed than in today's business environment.With the beginning of a New Year and the desire for greater business success, now is the time to take a few moments and record all those intuitive hits and misses. As you reflect, you should begin to measure the impact of going with your gut brain or ignoring this invaluable capacity for building your business.Why should you listen to your in

Job Interviews - Six of The Biggest Mistakes Made
To start, the first mistake is that you plain don't listen. Employers see this as an eye into your future at the company. You must make sure that the answer you are giving is really for the question that was asked. This is truly a test by the employer to see if you are going to be able to listen to his demands.The second is that you are trying to take lead. Mainly this will make you seem arrogant. Companies these days are really looking for someone who can work on a team. If you keep saying "I" this and "I" that, they won't see you as a team player. Instead use the pronoun "We" when talking about past experiences.The third is that you just flat out talk too much. You truly don't want to bore the interviewer with too many details. You may even come off as having an inability to concentrate on one thing at a time. This doesn't mean don't answer questions just be precise and to the point, try not to get side tracked.The fourth mistake is a huge one, tardiness. You never want to be late to a job interview. If you truly can't make it on time then call and try to reschedule. Never stroll in five minutes late and think the interview is going to go well.The fifth mistake is that you don't ask questions. Make the discussion very professional and ask questions that pertain to that subject. You shouldn't be interviewing

Learning is a development and formative process, evolving and changing over time due to various influencing factors like criticism received, self-analytical processes and other forms of feedback. Eaton (1938), as quoted by Snelbecker (1974) stated that “when a man has learned anything he is, for a time at least, changed in his readiness to deal with this or that in his environment. He has become, with respect to certain things, events, meanings, as the case may be, differently sensitive, differently percipient, differently disposed as to the forms of his responsive behaviour, whether in action, in understanding, or in feeling”. It can occur largely, independent of institutional education, guided primarily by self-directed lear
What to Do when Your Employer Asks for a Police Check
You have been asked to provide a police check for your new job. How do you go about doing this?Firstly, it is a matter of procedure to be asked for a police check if you are going to be holding certain jobs. You can expect to be asked for a police check if you are working with children in any capacity (from one week at summer camp to teacher’s college to daycare supervisor). You will also be asked for a police check if you are working in a sensitive environment: certain churches require police checks of people who wish to be ordained. Some high security jobs, such as investment banker or lawyer, will also require police checks.Depending on the position to which you are applying, you might need to pay for your own police check. Often, if you are doing volunteer work, the police will waive the fee. If you are volunteering, be sure to bring a letter from the institution at which you are volunteering that states that you need a police check and that you are volunteering. This letter should be on letterhead if possible.When you go for your police check, bring certain things with you to facilitate the process. You will need current photo ID, such as a license, some health care cards, or a passport. You will also need a secondary piece of ID, such as a social insurance number or social security number card.

Graduate Job Applications - Identify Your Transferable Skills
Getting into the labour market after school or college is a daunting prospect and that’s without the minefield of jargon, overnight advances in technology and discriminatory attitudes.OK - Let’s bust a bit of that jargon! What exactly are transferable skills? Quite simply, they are things you can do in one area of your life which can be used somewhere else.Let’s take an example. As a student, did you get all your assignments in on time? Were you able to set up extensions if your work was late? Did you learn how to type quickly and use a number of computer programmes effectively? Did you hold down a part-time job and manage to juggle work with study and your social life?If you answered yes to all, or at least some of the above, you have demonstrated an extensive range of skills, such as effective time management, negotiating and good communication skills. Now, you may not give them such grand titles, but if you were filling in a job application form, that’s exactly what you’d call them.You’ve been picking up skills from the moment you were born. The problem is that you take most of your skills for granted. That’s something we’ve got to change!
