2006-11-09T18:54:00.000-08:00

Have you been desperately looking for a job and keep coming up short? Despite all that you do, does every attempt you make seem to fail? Are you at that point of quitting? Ever wonder why you have not been called back? Not long ago, I was right where you are. I was all over the place, running here and there looking for the magic pill to help me. Then it hit me. Have you ever noticed that some people always seem to have employers chasing them? If you are like me, you probably wondered, what's their secret?

When I finally came to my senses, I began to look at the things people who were successful at gaining employment were doing. Then I looked at myself to see what I was doing wrong. In every case, I confirmed there were secret tips and hidden knowledge that made the difference.

Knowing what not to do is the first step in learning how to perform a successful job search. The following is a list of the 50 sure ways to avoid being hired. Please make sure that you take advantage of this tremendous information that is so powerful, that I am convinced, it will catapult your efforts.

A placement office of a major university lists the 50 reasons that are most frequently given by employers for turning down job applicants. As you read the reasons for rejection given below, ask yourself how you would rate in relation to each.

1. Poor personal appearance.
2. Overbearing, over-aggressive, conceited, with superiority or "know-it-all" complex.
3. Inability to express self clearly, poor voice, diction, grammar.
4. Lack of planning for career, no purpose or goals.
5. Lack of interest and enthusiasm, passive and indifferent.
6. Lack of confidence and poise, nervous, lack of self-belief.
7. Failure to participate in activities.
8. Over-emphasis on money; interested only in best dollar offers.

25. Sloppy application blank.

Tip: Notice that these items are often items most job seekers ignore. Many items are completely under your direct control and most surface during the interview stage. Study this list again and again.

Focus on items that describe you and immediately go to work to control for them. Remember, most often it is usually the simple things that eliminate most applicants.

Brian Stephenson, author of the now famous http://www.JobSearchBootCamp.com course says, if you have not gotten the most hard-hitting, step-by-step job search course that takes each student by the hand and shows them how to create powerful resumes that get results, stunning cover letters that command interviews, and winning interview thank you letters that get you hired, you are making a huge mistake?

Ten Things To Do If You Really, Really Hate Your Job

2006-11-06T21:06:00.000-08:00

1. Begin focusing on what you want instead of how much you want to escape. When you find yourself sharing the latest horror story, stop in mid-sentence and say, "What I want to have is..."

2. Create an image that describes you in your job. Are you on a riverbank with no way to get to the other side? Lost in a jungle? Poking through a thorny hedge? When you get comfortable with the image, begin visualizing a change in the obstacle. Imagine building a bridge across the river or finding a path in the forest. Don't force the image or the change. When you're ready it will come.

3. Think of developing skills, not serving time. Take every course that's offered and focus on skills that can lay a foundation for your own business or next job. Can you learn HTML or PowerPoint? Can you use some evenings, weekends and lunch hours to solicit some free lance gigs?

4. Focus on satisfactory, not superior performance. Use the time difference to build your new life. People often say, "I can't do anything -- I work ten hours a day!" If you are firing yourself or expecting to be fired, your job is finding a new job. Be ethical: you owe your company the minimum you need to earn your salary." But don't be surprised if you start to accomplish more than ever and find yourself getting promoted.

5. What conflict are you escaping? Dishonesty? Corporate greed? Hypocrisy? Allow yourself to wonder if these qualities are mirrored in your own life -- or even in your mind. If everyone around you seems dishonest, are you being dishonest with yourself? With others? After you resolve your own conflict, you may find the workplace has changed or you have been catapulted into a new, more satisfying life.

6. Put on your shield and armor when you enter your workplace. Everyone should learn how to create a psychic shield. Imagine that you are surrounded by an outer shell that is made of a solid material -- so strong that nothing can get through to hurt you. Some people prefer to imagine a protective golden light, but I think the solid shield is stronger. Take two or three minutes to put on your shield, every day, before you enter the workplace.

7. Give yourself a gift every day -- a splurge of time or sensual taste buds. Read a book, talk to a friend, eat your favorite food. Don't deaden your senses with alcohol (although if you're a wine connoisseur, your special wine can be a gift) or spend big bucks at the mall. Think simple.

8. Find at least one thing in your life to appreciate: the softness of your cat's fur, the winter sky, the spontaneous hug from a friend. Appreciate as much as possible about your job: the money, the view from the window, the new computer, friendly conversations with the guy down the hall. Savor the experience. Appreciation is the engine that attracts good things into your life.

9. Tune in to your intuition before deciding what to do next. Meditate and listen to the world around you. The saying "frying pan into the fire" is real. If your goals and desires do not come from a secure place within yourself, you will find yourself paying undue attention to wet blankets ("If you quit you'll never get another job") and false friends ("Just quit! Move to Tahiti! You won't starve!"). Sometimes the same "advisor" proposes both ideas in the same week. A good coach or counselor will give you confidence in your own intuition, not impose their views of what you should do now.

10. Write this down somewhere: After you've left -- and you will -- all that time will seem to have gone in the blink of an eye. You will have trouble remembering what bothered you so much. The rest of your life will still be ahead of you.

How To Quit A Job?

2006-10-31T19:00:00.000-08:00

Christoph Puetz

Leaving a job is often a difficult step. Sure, there is the
exciting opportunity to do something different, but if have
been with an employer for over a year this can become an
emotional step. People leave jobs for various reasons. The old
job might just plain and simple suck. The pay is lousy and the
boss is behaving like a dictator of a 3rd world country. Or the
job might be target of outsourcing and the employee is
pro-active by looking for his/her own way out. Or the job is a
dead end. No opportunity and the daily routine is boring. It
could also be that the immediate co-workers and managers are
just not as nice and that there is no great work relationship
that makes the employee to love to go to work. A not so
exciting job can still be a great place to work if you have
great co-workers and managers around. Work is about money, but
the socializing part is important, too.

We're not trying to get into the reasons for leaving a job here
for the matter of this article. However - we want to concentrate
on the actual part of resigning from a job. And again - there
are several different ways of leaving a job. If you absolutely
do not care about your old job you could just leave but this
step can have severe impact on your career down the road. Keep
in mind that employers like to check the places you worked at
before they want to hire you. These sins of the past might come
back and hurt your reputation. "Oh, he left that job without any
notice. What if he does the same thing to me?" - This could be
just one thought a new employer might have. Depending on the
job a one week or two week notice should be given. In some
cases 3-4 weeks can be appropriate. As higher you get up in the
ranks this might be the way to go. An executive leaving a
company without taking care of a proper transition might hurt
himself if the company gets into problems afterwards and this
becomes public knowledge. Treat the employer fair and do not
burn any bridges. In the long run this will be the best
decision an employee can make.

When resigning you should be prepared to avoid unnecessary
stress. In most cases resigning is a stressful event. A well
prepared employee can take some stress out of this big step
with proper planning. Write a 2 or 3 line letter of
resignation. Nothing fancy. Try not to explain why you leave.
Just state that you are resigning from your position and let
the company know what your last day at work will be. Sign the
letter and hand it to the manager you are resigning to. Do not
just turn over the letter and walk away. Say that you are
resigning and then hand over the letter of resignation. Be
prepared to answer questions why you are leaving. Do not make
up things. Prepare a quick list of pain points if needed. You
might even help your co-workers by giving constructive feedback
about certain situations and problems. I personally recommend
never to mention the word money as the main reason of leaving.
If things come down to money if often gets dirty.

Eventually be prepared for an immediate counter-offer during
your resignation. Some companies try to fix the problem of an
employee leaving by throwing more money at him/her. Or they
want to buy time and pretend giving you more money. They give
you more money but work on your replacement at the same time.
Things might also work out Ok for a while but when the going
gets tough and it comes to layoffs the guy who took the
counter-offer might be one of the first ones to be let go
because of the cost factor. I see only one situation when it
can be good or Ok to accept a counter-offer. Say you are
leaving because of the work environment and you are able to
point out problems and issues. Some employers are blind about
these things and just don't realize how employees feel about
certain things. Suddenly a good employees leaves and the issue
comes to the surface. Some employers are willing to fix the
issue and these are rare situations a counter-offer can be
accepted. Still - the employee has to carefully evaluate the
situation. It is important to know who you are dealing with
from a personal side. Can you trust the employer?

Sometimes a counter-offer can come up during the last few days
at a company or shortly after the last day. We have seen cases
when counter-offers were made within 60-70 days after the
employee left. These situations are not good. I highly
recommend not to accept such a counter-offer no matter how
tempting the offer is. The employee has to keep in mind that
he/she already left. This mark will always stick. One day the
employer might be in a different situation and has to decide
who to let go first. Will it be the loyal employee who is with
the company for 8 years or is it the "Gung-Ho" who left just to
be lured back by money and who eventually leaves again if the
next employer is willing to hand out even more cash? Make a bet
....

These are just a few things to keep in mind when thinking about
resigning from a position. Be prepared. Be strong. Change can be
very good for your career.

What Not to Say in an Interview

2006-10-18T20:25:00.000-07:00

this article taken from Yahoo hotjobs
By Erin Hovanec

An interview can be incredibly stressful: You often have only a few minutes to show an interviewer how capable, confident and intelligent you are.

And remember: The interviewer isn't just evaluating WHAT you say, but also HOW you say it. She's asking herself: Are you well-spoken? Do you sound polished and professional? Are your answers clear and concise?

If you've spent all of your time working on the content of your answers, you now need to focus on the delivery.

Read on for some interview "talking tips."

Skip the 'Filler'
When an interviewer asks a question, you may feel like you should fill the silence right away. Or, after you start speaking, perhaps you realize you're not sure what you want to say and need to stall.

That's when most people use "like," "ya know" and "ummm."

These words are common in many people's vocabularies. They're simply verbal filler that we've become accustomed to using. But they're not very professional.
Taking time to think about a question, rather than rushing to answer, can help eliminate the need to use filler.

Like any habit, this one will take time to break. So start practicing before you have an actual interview.

Don't Jargon Your Way Out of a Job
You say: "Our value proposition is to create synergy while leveraging our respective ROIs."
The interviewer thinks: "Huh?"

You don't need to use jargon to sound knowledgeable in an interview. First, don't assume the interviewer is familiar with the jargon.

Also, as many interviewers will tell you, people often use a lot of fancy jargon when they want to disguise the fact that they aren't completely confident in what they're saying.
So speak simply and coherently and your intelligence should speak for itself.

Why Slang Is 'Way Bad'
Here's the 411 on slang in interviews.

Never use slang in an interview. You should speak to an interviewer just as you would to a business colleague or even a boss. That means you must sound polished and professional.

Also, the interviewer (who may not be as cool as you are) may have no idea what you're saying when you use slang.

Last, never, EVER, use profanity in an interview. There's simply no place for it.

Don't Answer Before You've Been Asked
You want to make a good impression on an interviewer. You want to seem knowledgeable, confident and engaged. So when the interviewer starts to ask you a question, you jump on it, right?

Wrong.

First, it's rude to interrupt.
Second, you may incorrectly assume that you know what the interviewer was going to ask and answer the wrong question.
Third, you won't have time to think about your answer before you start speaking, which can lead to lots of mid-sentence "ummms" to stall for time.

When an interviewer asks a question, it's tempting to answer quickly, especially if you're nervous. Don't. Instead, wait for her to finish speaking, then take a deep breath and collect your thoughts. Then answer the question.

You'll appear calm, confident and polite. And, after taking a moment to think, you'll probably give a much better answer too.

The Art of Negotiating

2006-10-17T23:41:00.000-07:00

This article taken from : Yahoo hotjobs
By Caroline Levchuck

In a competitive job market, job seekers sometimes think that they're lucky to land an interview, let alone receive an actual job offer.
But, in any market, when you do get an offer it's usually smart to negotiate the terms. The trick is knowing when to stop.
Negotiating is an art -- one that needs to be practiced.

Do a Skills Check
First, evaluate your negotiating skills. Are you comfortable haggling over the price of a car with the salesperson? How skilled were you at asking for raises at your last company? If you've negotiated successfully before, you may already have some decent skills.

Next, read up on negotiating tips and tactics. Consult business magazines or head straight for the bookstore.
Also, if you're someone who always pays sticker price or who's never asked for a raise, you might want to find a friend who will role play with you to practice your job offer negotiation.

Know Your Bottom Line
Negotiating isn't about winning at all costs. It's about agreeing on terms of an offer that will satisfy you.
Start by figuring out what salary and benefits you can and cannot live with. Perhaps you want three weeks of vacation rather than two. Maybe you need the option to telecommute occasionally. Whatever your goals are, make achieving them the priority in your negotiation.
By keeping your focus on your goals -- instead of on winning -- you'll know when it's the right time to accept a job offer.

Be Creative
Look beyond just salary when negotiating your job offer.
Trade off more traditional perks for benefits in areas where a company is often able to be more flexible, such as tuition reimbursement, flex time or an abbreviated summer work schedule.
You want to feel as though you've explored all your options. Knowing that will make you feel more comfortable ending negotiations and making a final decision about the job offer.

Don't Get Greedy
Quit while you're ahead. Really.
If you continue to negotiate for the sake of negotiating -- even after you've gotten a fair job offer -- you may end up hurting yourself. First, a company could simply end negotiations and present you with an ultimatum.
You also risk alienating your future boss. And you certainly don't want your boss to resent you before you've even started work.

To create an impressive resume, you need to pay attention to content, format and writing style. Remember, this document is often the first glimpse we get of you. What do you want us to know? What can you offer that makes you unique and perfect for the job? The following tips will get you started:

Keep the words ‘current’ and ‘relevant’ in mind when you compose your resume. We’re looking for up-to-date resumes that clearly describe why you are right for the job in question. Keep your writing crisp, using bullet points wherever possible.

Format your resume such that it is easy to read and scan. If you are submitting your resume online, we recommend plain text.

Start talking about your major achievements early on. Be detailed, specific and quantify your work where you can e.g. managed a team of 10 programmers. This will allow you to stand out from the crowd and help us understand your level of expertise.

List a few of your interests outside of work. We appreciate well-balanced people who can add spice to our work environment.

Be honest. If inaccurate information comes to light later on in the recruitment process, you could lose your chance to join us.

Write simply and clearly. Jargon may confuse and bad grammar or spelling will only create a bad impression.

Be sure your contact information is accurate, so that we can reach you if you have been shortlisted.

Provide two referees - tell us how (and how long) you’ve known them. Ideally, you would list your most recent managers so that we can understand the current, rather than historical, you.

How to write your CV

This Article taken from BBCNews

BBC News explains how to get a head start in the job hunting race and make sure your CV is up to scratch.
Your curriculum vitae is the single most important weapon in your armoury when it comes to job hunting.
A prospective employer will often make a snap judgment the second they read it and even the most qualified people on the planet can find themselves rejected if the resume fails to come up to scratch. So how can you give yours the edge?
Avoid making it too fancy and complicated. You only have about five seconds to grab the attention - if it is too clever and unreadable it will go in the bin.
Don't try to make jokes and never slag off previous employers.

CV length
There are no set rules governing the length of your cv - this will be decided on your career history, education and achievements. If possible try to keep it to one page, but if this looks too cramped then feel free to spread it out over two sheets.
Everyone has a different theory when it comes to cv design. Don't get too bogged down over this, just make sure everything is clearly marked. Include your career progression, education and achievements prominently so your prospective employer doesn't have to search.

Remember to include
Career history
Skills and strengths
Awards and achievements
Contact details

Here is a basic format: Start off with your name, address and contact details clearly listed at the top of the page. Follow this with a profile of yourself which should include an outline of your skills, experience and immediate career goals.
After this you can put in your career history - in reverse chronological order over the past 10 years - with brief descriptions of your responsibilities and achievements. Then comes education, interests/personal details and references.

Stick to the truth
Make sure it is printed on good quality A4 size paper and never attach extra documents, letters or certificates - save these for the interview. Read and re-read your cv, and then ask a friend of family member to read it as well.
Make sure there are no spelling errors or coffee stains as these will be fatal.
It might sound obvious, but be truthful. Never try to smudge dates and jobs to hide periods of unemployment. The most basic of checks will expose your deceit and ruin any chance of getting the job.
Follow all instructions on the job advert. If they want four copies of your cv then you should send four. It is also vital to get it in on time. The covering letter should be customised for each job you apply for as this is your chance to tailor your skills to the demands required.
