Advertising: Friend, not Foe!
They say advertising is excessive: it interrupts TV series, preceding movie shows and dominating music award ceremonies. Some even lament that advertising not only occupies the media, but is also present everywhere else; the latest music editor softwares could be seen at bus shelters, and online VoIP products pictured in public telephone booths. It is irrelevant and disruptive.If you agree with my last sentence above, continue reading. You might decide to change your mind.First of

Employers do not want to waste time interviewing people who have no interest in taking the job.Here are some additional tips on following up:Follow up with a phone call and thank them for g

Are you searching for a job? Here are some tips on how you can use journaling in that pursuit.

It is important to know what we are looking for in a position and company. Normally, we can write a long list of stuff we don't want, but what do we want? We hear all the time from career coaches and professional development gurus that we need to define our ideal job. But golly gee, getting past the mindset that we deserve our ideal job and that the ideal job is really out there, is something else. Then after we weed through that muck, we need to write down the characteristics of what we "do" want.

All this is enough to make anyone want to stay in bed with the covers over their head. With the lengthy list of all that needs done, and in what priority, it is perfectly understandable why people stay in a job they don't like. The overwhelm of everything is daunting.

Job hunting is a chore whether it’s in an employee-focused market or an employer-focused market. Of course, it’s easier when the job market has more positions then lookers but that hasn't occurred in a number of years now. And the prediction is not in favor of it changing any time soon.

Career professionals tell us that we should be preparing for our next position the same day we start any new position. Yes, this can be mighty difficult, especially when all the butterflies are still unaligned and you are still trying to figure out where to find the rest rooms and lunch room. If you mentioned all this to your friends they would think you are crazy and that you should be satisfied that you just have a job. If this happens to be you -- you are in a new job and still feeling lucky to have that one -- it’s the prime opportunity to pick up your journal and begin defining your next move.

Are Outrageous Hiring Interviews the New Wave?
Just recently in the news there was a story about an Internet company called Image Net who conducted job interviews on Mt. Fuji in Japan. Image Net sells mostly women’s clothing on the Internet and I think it’s safe to say Image Net thinks “outside the box.”Lets examine why and see if this “outside the box thinking” is conducive to hiring new job applicants.When they put out their ad for the job there were 50 applicants. 21 were invited to climb Mt. Fuji to be interviewed. 15 of those applicants showed up

Cash Flow - How Big Is Yours?
How’s your cash flow? I might just as well have asked a woman her age. Joe Dominguez, author of “Your Money or Your Life” says that the most embarrassing question is “How big is yours?” Your paycheck, that is.I was once sitting in a coffee shop with my friend, Jade. She had just introduced me to Phil, a friend of hers who she was doing some business with. Phil and I got to talking and discovered that we had both experienced some similar childhood traumas. We got into a very personal discussion about our healing.e should be preparing for our next position the same day we start any new position.

Resume Objectives - Writing A Resume Objective That Impresses
When writing your resume objective you need to be very clear and concise regarding the job, job title, or career that you are qualified for. You need to be specifif and avoid general catch all terms such as 'I am seeking a management position.' What the heck does that mean?'I am seeking a managerment position' could mean almost anything. Besides not telling your potential employer anything about the job you are looking for or what you are qualified to do, it also send a very negative signal. It tells your p

If you are job hunting and going through the interviewing process, use journaling to practice interviewing dialogue. Many of the interviewing books available provide typical questions to get your started. Find the questions and practice various responses. Do this 10 to 15 minutes a day and you will be an expert interviewee fairly quickly.

If you are going on an interview and you are nervous, write about your apprehension. The mental expression will also calm your nerves. If you can, arrive early, sit in the car or the lobby and record your feelings before heading up to the interview.

During the interview ask if you can take notes and record the questions. After the interview record the questions in your journal. After the nerves have calmed, practice a variety of different responses. Continue practicing until you feel comfortable with your answer. It is important to continue practicing with these questions several days later when you have a different perspective on the interview. During this process, the journaling will help you expand language skills, communication skills, and cognitive skills.

It is important to learn as much as you can about the company before you sit in their chair. A research journal is excellent for tracking this information. If you find newspaper articles about the company, copy and paste them in the journal. Amy, a recent law student graduate even goes into the interview with her "job search" journal in hand. Occasionally, she explained, she opens the journal purposely and asks questions she prepared and makes sure the interviewer sees the article, company brochure, and other information when she is thumbing through. On many occasions she has found that even the interviewer never saw the article. Offer to bring a copy back when you return for the second interview.
