Hot Tips for Projecting Professionalism at Your Next Job Interview

By Sara Parent

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy

A job interview can be a stressful experience if you don't know what to do, or if you aren't used to being in that situation. But there are some things you can do to help you interact with your interviewer more professionally. A successful interview has as much to do with how you present yourself as the skills you bring to a company.

When meeting someone for the first time, there are some simple rules to remember. We went to Anne Sowden of Here's Looking At You, a Toronto-based image consulting firm, for some suggestions on how job seekers can project a professional image.

She offers these tips for your next interview:

• Stand up straight and keep your shoulders back. This makes a huge difference when making a first impression AND you'll feel better.
• If you're not sure how to shake hands properly, get someone to help you. There's nothing worse than a bad handshake.
• When shaking hands, stand up, make eye contact and smile. Smiling conveys an accepting attitude towards others.
• Maintain eye contact with the interviewer but look away at regular intervals to make sure you aren't staring.
• If you're concerned about clammy hands. Keep a tissue in your pocket and gently squeeze it before shaking hands.
• When receiving someone's business card, leave it on the desk/table in front of you and look at it during the meeting. It's one way to make sure you get the person's name correct.
• When sitting, don't slouch. This sends a message that you don't care about being with someone.
• Be prepared. Whether it's an interview, meeting or networking. Have a plan of what you want to accomplish and do it.
• Practice introducing yourself. Get a friend to help you.

Remember that, for better or worse, first opinions are formed very quickly. Sowden says that the image you project can affect your ability to inspire trust and confidence. She adds that it also gives others information by which they judge our credibility and professionalism.

Knowing how to act and presenting yourself professionally through your attire are critical image builders. Sowden offers these tips on dressing for business:

• Buy the best you can afford in classic styles.
• The more skin you show, the less professional you look.
• Err on the side of caution-dress up rather than down; dress conservatively.
• Research the dress code, the position you're interviewing for and the person you will be meeting.
• To project expertise, wear a jacket.
• Wear clothing that is comfortable and makes you feel good.
• Focus on basics-jackets, skirts, slacks in a neutral colour. Black, navy and charcoal project power and authority.
• Check skirt lengths. A skirt around knee length is flattering for most women and looks professional. It also doesn't expose too much leg when sitting down. If your skirt has a split, check how much leg you expose when sitting down.
• Avoid plunging necklines, sheer fabrics, and clinging knits. Knits cling and find body fat even if you think you don't have any.
• Keep jewellery simple. No clanging, dangling or jangling items.
• Carry either a briefcase or a purse, not both. No knapsack.

Creative Selling Strategies 2010

By Ken Rogner

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy  

Winning With Creative Sales Techniques
I recently had the opportunity of helping to judge a group of creative sales technique entries for a large distribution company. It reminded me that creativity is now and always has been the way to win the sales game in challenging times and situations. Sometimes you utilize contemporary technology but most of the time sheer creativity is what sets you apart from the competition!
Here are some examples of entries that won the competition. These entries show what has changed and what has stayed the same in creative strategies for selling.
1. Finding and very successfully selling an off-season product to existing "summer-only" business customers. The difference here was in how the customers were identified and contacted. Historically this would have been by phone or in person but in this case the new contacts and customers came via e-blasts and Facebook. The backup and strengthening feature of the new product promotion however, was still a billboard ad campaign. How can you use technology to attract new customers or promote your creative ideas to existing customers?
2. Recognizing that a competitor's customer was about to lose his existing supplier due to bankruptcy, this salesperson had a new showroom display model of his product delivered...to himself but at the customer's address. When the retailer called to inform him of the miss-shipped package he apologized for the error and promised to stop by and pick it up. When he asked if they would enjoy seeing the about-to-be-released product version and received a "yes" it was the strong "buy signal" that he had been waiting for. He got the business for the year. This example of creativity would have been a winner in the past just as it was in 2010. What unexpected or remarkable things can you do to open the door or attract your potential customer's attention?
3. Taking advantage of his bi-lingual abilities this salesperson appealed to his small service contractors (with counter card displays in Spanish) and asked for leads to other similar businesses in the Hispanic community. He offered additional support and/or leads and spiffs in exchange for new contractors signed up. That first program was so successful that he added a second level to the program for referrals to other contractors in different businesses. That was also a success. What strengths and/or unique talents can you utilize to take business away from your competition?
4. Finding a high profile name or event to tie your promotion to is (and always has been) a creative way to have promotions recognized and get response. During the World Cup soccer finals in South Africa this European rep named his July promotion after the country's coach and team and alluded to their earlier-than-necessary demise. Because the event had everyone (including all of his customers) talking his promotion gained a bit of notoriety and was a huge success. He doubled his business from the previous year's promotion. What are people thinking and talking about could help you set a timetable for your promotions?
5. Creating unique reports to continually remind customers (and field sales people) of an on-going promotion. This sales manager created unique and customized computer reports, simple but effective, that could continually be e-mailed to his field sales people and their customers. The reports indicated progress made and unit sales still required to attain previously agreed to sales growth incentives. The promotion was the most successful ever with his sales center achieving more than double any other center's gains. How can you use customized computer reports to remind customers of how they can achieve success in a promotion?
6. Doing night-time, updated sales techniques training and offering customized presentation booklets for a retailer's entire floor sales staff (as well as offering Saturday deliveries) was how this distributor sales person took 100% of the business away from his competition. The economy had stalled sales and a new round of sales training plus customized presentations rejuvenated this customer's consumer-business. What unique training can you offer that will help a customer regain sales in a depressed economy?
7. Being creative about how products are assembled, packaged and delivered can sometimes increase volumes because of shared savings. This sales person worked with a customer and created a check with order process that, coupled with a 12 model cookie-cutter program, was able to reduce costs for the distributor and the retailer. When these savings were passed on to the consumer business increased dramatically. How can you find creative ways to save costs and pass the savings on?
No matter how much technology changes our daily lives and sales presentations, creatively solving a problem for a customer is still the winning combination. How can you help a customer regain lost sales? Find the answer and win the game!

Do I Really Need A Workers Compensation Lawyer?

By Howard Batt

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy   

The law with regard to workers compensation in New Jersey can be very complex. It is a specialty area and finding an attorney to deal with it may be bit more difficult to achieve. It is in fact worth it to keep looking to find the best. This very specialized and complex area of law is one of the most important to you as a worker who has been injured.

Do you need an attorney to help you with your workers compensation claim? Realistically you probably do. In New Jersey an employee may not always be given all that he or she is entitled to so far as their compensation claim. Employees who have been injured at work need the assistance of an advocate for their cause.

Realistically, many companies are going to seek out ways to prevent you from having full claims. While it sounds unfair the fact is that it's true. The reality is that the employers and companies who are working against you have their own attorney and are at least being given legal advice to assist them in the case.

If you are denied your compensation, you have the right to appeal. You will have 14 days in many states in order to file an appeal against the denial notice that you receive. In some cases you will need an attorney to help you file a motion to compel the insurance company to review your case and to admit or deny it based on the merits.

An attorney will help you to navigate the red tape that it may take in order to assure that your financial future is secure and that you aren't harmed in any way by the accident and injury that took place at work.

In addition to helping you to file an appeal an attorney can help you to get through the investigation of the entire accident. They will want to be certain that the accident that you had was one that actually took place on their premises and that involves an investigation into the accident. You need to make sure that your rights are protected.

Your employer has attorneys who work hard for their business. You need an advocate who will also work hard on your behalf to make sure that you have what you need and that your financial tomorrow are all secure. The New Jersey workers compensation laws can be difficult to work with. If you're not an expert in the field of workers compensation, find someone who is and make sure that you have representation that you can count on. The difference that it may make in your overall workman's compensation progress and outcome could be more than worth what you have to pay your attorney.

Understanding the ISO 9001 Audit Checklist

By Justin Knightley

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy   

If an organization has recently embarked on the journey of implementing ISO 9001:2008, a generic ISO 9001 audit checklist can be very helpful in determining gaps in compliance. As the system matures however, generic checklists lose their effectiveness and it becomes critical for the organization to delve deeper in terms of conformance when assessing the effectiveness of operational controls and specific processes.
Why use an ISO 9001 Audit Checklist?
Internal auditors often use an ISO 9001 audit checklist to determine compliance since the ISO 9001 audit checklist covers each requirement of the standard as a question. This type of questionnaire is very useful for internal auditors, because it helps them to discover how a specific requirement is implemented. The auditor has only to check that the defined procedure meets the requirements and if the procedure is preformed correctly.
The shortcoming of this approach is that the audit often fails to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of the process being audited. What happens if the process does not meet procedure? Should you change the process to be compliant with the procedure, or should you verify whether the process is effective and change the procedure? These are questions to consider in any procedure-based audit.
Instead, use the ISO 9001 audit checklist only as a guide and allow the auditor to delve freely into whatever process is deemed critical. This model will produce more meaningful findings, but, there is a risk that auditors focus on auditing processes that are familiar to their particular specialty. Furthermore, as time goes by, completing the checklist could become mandatory and overburdened with detail resulting in less time for in-depth auditing.
Process Auditing and Checklists
Process audits are undertaken to verify whether a process meets the planned goals and objectives and to identify opportunities for improvement. The main thing to understand when auditing a process is the actual process concept. One does not need to know or understand the details of a specific process to be able to audit it, although it does help. A good auditor should be able to audit any process without knowing anything about it by monitoring the process inputs to determine whether the desired process outputs have been achieved.
As with other ISO standards which require internal auditing, audit checklists based on the standard have minimal benefit when it comes to auditing a process. It is best to develop a specific audit questionnaire based on actual management system policies, processes and procedures. This allows a more in-depth approach that identifies not only failures in the processes but also potential failures, while also ensuring the internal auditors are much more rigorous during their enquiries.
Controlling the Audit Checklist
The basic ISO 9001 checklist template should be controlled but the actual audit checklist for each process is subject to change and should not be controlled.

Are you ready for the corrections officer physical fitness test?

If your answer is no, or you are in okay shape but need a little bit more work then keep reading. I've included some really simple workout tips in this article that will improve your strength, conditioning, and overall fat to muscle content.

The truth is some recruits have sailed through the correctional officer fitness test, while others have struggled mightily. I know if you are reading this article, you are dead serious about improving your overall fitness level. That's why I've written this article to help those candidates who are serious about getting a passing score on their corrections officer PFT.

You see, the corrections officer fitness test standards are different from agency to agency, but all of them are looking for recruits who are in shape. Seriously you don't want to show up to the test site out of shape or grossly overweight. Trust me if that happens, you might as well kiss your opportunity goodbye.

Here's how to get in shape fast:

The number one thing that you want to do when training for the law enforcement fitness test is to follow a workout routine that incorporates both strength training and cardiovascular improvement. If you do one without the other, you won't pass the test. The best workout program that incorporates both strength development and cardiovascular improvement is interval training.

If you don't know much about high intensity interval training, I suggest that you study up on this powerful workout program. If you include interval training to your regular training routine, you'll get into shape faster than you ever thought possible.

Is Teamwork in Sales Important?

By Rennie Gould

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy  

Although sales is often thought of as a solitary profession, the development of teamwork is important for a number of reasons:

To provide for social interaction

To share knowledge & experience

To work on large customer opportunities

To utilise the full range of skills of each team member

To develop sales and customer strategy

To create opportunities for motivation and personal development

But throwing people together does not develop a team. Team development normally proceeds through specific stages that needs to be facilitated by sales management. 

First Team Development Stage - Forming

In the initial stages of team development, sales management needs to establish clear ground rules and responsibilities that give the team its sense of purpose.

These management actions will help to remove the inevitable confusion and anxiety that normally exists as team members first get to know each other.

Second Team Development Stage - Storming

In this second stage of team development, sales managers need to calm any disagreements and smooth out the jockeying for status and position that can occur.

Management therefore needs to spend time addressing any concerns or issues and to stress the advantages of teamwork in increasing overall sales performance and in providing opportunities for individual development. 

Third Development Stage - Norming

In this third stage of its development, the team has begun to settle down and to establish its way of working. Sales managers can now begin to exploit the increasing cohesiveness of the team and explain how it should move towards the achievement of specific objectives.

Fourth Team Development Stage - Performing

When a team has reached this stage in its development, it can handle even greater levels of pressure and performance and should be stretched for higher levels of achievement. 

Sales management at this stage of the team's development should push for even more opportunity and information sharing and should create even more important sales projects for the team to work on. 

Fifth Team Development Stage - Decaying

It is common for teams to lose their effectiveness over time. This is because individuals come and go and due to changes in the sales and customer environment.

Such changes provide management with the opportunity to reinvigorate the team with new members or to set it new tasks and objectives in order to renew team effectiveness. 

Conclusion

Good teamwork within sales can bring together all the talents within the group to maximise sales performance and to provide the motivational opportunities of personal development and social interaction.

Team Building Event on a Limited Budget

By Kim M Hesse

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy  

Our client had 80 guests in Melbourne for a three day conference and on the second evening they wanted to host a team building event. We were on a very limited budget and while brainstorming cost effective team building ideas we came up with a pizza making competition.

This event provided us with the opportunity to take guests out of the hotel and place them in new and exciting surroundings.
Step one was to find the perfect venue. When working on a budget use your venue to set the scene. We found a rustic underground restaurant with a wood fired oven.
Being a weeknight we were able to hire the entire basement level at a great price. Note - Venues always want to fill their function space on a weeknight, you should be able to negotiate a better rate on a weeknight as opposed to a Friday or Saturday evening.
To start the evening off, we had the executive chef demonstrate the art of pizza making. The group were then split into teams and given the task of creating their own pizza's. This was a great way to provide a team building activity but also save money as they ate the pizza's they had made. Of course we supplied some professionally made pizza's as well!
In regard to themeing the venue, with not too much expense we transformed the space into a Little Italy. We utilised the venues free white table cloths and simply hired in red and white check table cloths to be placed over the white cloths provided by the venue.
We brought white candles from the reject shop and melted them onto empty wine bottle provided free of charge by the venue. Add some artificial grapes, again from the reject shop and presto a budget friendly and easy table decoration!
Lighting is also a great way to create effect without the expense. Here in little Italy we hired mini up-lights, when chatting to an audio visual supplier you can also ask for parcan lights. The lights were only $5 each and you get to choose what colour gel (in other words a thick cellophane cover) you would like. We chose gels in red and green placing them around the room to light the walls for a warm effect.
Our guests had a fantastic evening and as well as pizza making there was plenty of dough throwing!
Good Luck and Happy Eventing.

Kim Hesse - Managing Director of Venues 2 Events is an event manager at heart and has a crazy passion for the exciting world of events!

Venues 2 Events is a special event management company as well as an on-line venue directory. The last four years has seen Kim transform Venues 2 Events into an Industry Leader and resource for finding reputable venues across Australia.

Top Paying Data Entry Work To Choose From

By Diane Cruz

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy  

 To find work from home is a desire many have, however, it's not as easy for a lot of people as it would seem. Because of so many scams spread throughout the internet, this has made it extremely difficult for one to find genuine work. It has become much like finding a needle in a hay stack. Most people must go through many trial and error and lose some out of pocket cash in order to find anything that actually works. Even some programs that aren't necessarily scams maybe simply entail too much work for too little pay. It's especially difficult for newcomers that are not familiar with the various programs available and what they have to offer. It's always good to do research but most people just don't know where or how to start.

A good way to do this is to simply figure out what it is you like to do and what you're good at. Then begin your search from there. Mos people don't do this, they simply type in the search term "work from home" and assume this will narrow it down. A good place to start is online data entry as these jobs are fairly easy to do and most non traditional home typing jobs don't require any experience to start. I'm not talking about professional document typing, I'm referring to programs such as article marketing or ad submission jobs. These jobs are much easier to obtain and one does not need to have extensive experience with fast typing and grammatical skills. These are also among the highest paying jobs there are online.

Ad submission jobs simply entail placing ads for web businesses in order to help promote their products and services they offer. Because marketing is an extremely lucrative business, these offer the most income for less grueling work then some other programs online. These jobs are especially great and beneficial for stay at home moms, dads and students. Basically anyone who needs to work from their home. With this type of work it is not uncommon for one to earn $200-$500 a day with time and effort. These are not your typical get rich schemes, these are real jobs that do require work to be successful. Just about anyone can do this from anywhere around the globe who needs to makes extra money. It can easily be done to supplement ones income, or can be done long term as a career. Most programs that offer these jobs provide one on one training with step by step training manuals and directions. They usually come with a one time admission fee, however, they're much worth it for what you get in return.

Ad posting jobs are the cream of the crop when it comes to choosing something to do from home, however, one still has to be careful when choosing the right company. There are many fake so called training programs out there that are run by criminal hoping to collect admission fees from unsuspecting victims. Always do your research on a company before embarking on any business endeavor and you can have yourself a very lucrative career in data entry.

5 Suggested Questions To Ask Before Selecting A Cleaning Service

By James Lombardo

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy

1- How Long Have They Been In Business?

There is a level of risk associated with choosing a cleaning company with less than extensive janitorial experience. One concern would be if the company has adequate staffing capabilities in the event of a special request or emergency. They may not have the proper experience or resources to handle a wide variety of requests or problems. An established company may be able to provide testimonials or references that substantiate their performance as where a new company may struggle to provide such documentation. A less established company may experience cash flow venerability which could affect their ability to purchase the necessary cleaning products or equipment to service your building properly. Worst yet, untimely payroll deposits for their employees. Having adequate administrative personnel was also cited as an important consideration. Behind the scenes activity such as quality control, invoicing, interviewing and the training of new hires contribute to running a smooth cleaning operation.

2- What Will Be The Role Of The Salesperson After An Agreement Is Reached?

Take the time to explore the method in which the janitorial company intends to manage your account. Many facility managers believe that having the salesperson you negotiated with remain as your single point of contact throughout the life of the agreement is an important aspect of the relationship. The salesperson may be compensated with a residual commission which is intended to elevate the level of dedication to the client needs.

3- How Long Will The Quoted Price Remain Firm?

Although, most cleaning companies are ethical in their pricing mythology, some do attempt to take advantage low cost selling. Removing the low quote from the selection process often eliminates a potential danger. A firm that represents the lowest quote may soon return to request a price increase so they can then provide the service originally agreed to.

4- How Does The Company Cultivate Their Labor?

Before making a final decision, request a detailed explanation on the process they utilize to recruit, interview, screen, and verify background information for the people who will be entering your building. There are several firms approved by The Department of Homeland Security that can identify individuals that may not meet certain important criteria. An additional level of screening may also include drug screening and credit verification. Increased due diligence creates a peace of mind atmosphere.

5- How Long Will The Contract Remain In Effect?

The most often used term length is 1 year and usually includes a 30 our clause that can be triggered for any reason at all. Many companies are prepared to work with you on a day by day basis so you have the ability to ask them to leave at any time. Negotiate an agreement that both parties are comfortable with and always include a 30 day notice cancellation clause for the protection of both parties

Career Change For Teachers - Ways To Choose Better Options

By Abhishek Agarwal


Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy  

A Career change for teachers can lead to plenty of soul searching about the options available for employment and the skills required for securing a new job. There can be several reasons for a teacher to want to change career after a few years in teaching. For some it may be stress due to teaching in person; for others it could be because of sheer boredom. While for most teachers job satisfaction is high and they enjoy their interaction with the students, in some cases the environment at the school itself may change, leading to stress and a subsequent desire for career change among teachers. In other cases, they may want to explore options in the outside world and find out if something will be more rewarding according to their temperament and ability.

Most often, a lateral move is possible, if seeking a career change for teachers. Instead of teaching in person, they can shift to teaching the people that are pursuing distance education, to writing of books or in development of curricula. If seeking a change due to environmental reasons, the options include giving private tuition. If the teacher wants a change from personal interaction, then syllabus and course development could provide the desired career change.

However, if the teacher wants to leave the profession of teaching completely, then the person has to consider the transferable skills and seek out job options in other fields. A teacher will inevitably have excellent communication skills, ability to conduct research, administration ability and interpersonal skills. All these are useful in several fields. If at all the teacher needs new skills to find a new job, there are several courses available for skill development.

Career change for teachers can be facilitated because of their interaction skills. Instead of working with young students, they may choose to work with elderly people or in a job that requires interface with the public, such as in a call centre. Woodwork, art, horticulture, and writing are other fields that utilise the mental capability of the teachers and provide avenues for creativity. Career change for teachers is relatively easy with some retraining, as they have a number of skills that are used to develop young minds and can be used in other jobs with equal ease.

Skills in communication and teaching can also be used to move to a career of a trainer, to train new recruits at their organisation. Thus, while doing away with the stress part of teaching, they can still effectively use the skills that are necessary to teach successfully. The years of experience stands them in a good stead and need not be wasted at all. A qualified teacher can be employed easily. With just a little training, career change for teachers can open several new options for them.

Resumes That Will Blow Your Potential Employers Away

It's either the resume is too good that the employer will call you the minute he finish reading it or too lousy that he can't imagine a good job seeker would write.
Of course, all job applicants want the first reaction. So how do you get to that?
Start by knowing yourself. You are your own weapon. So you have to know what you can bring out to the battle. Analyze what you can offer to the company. Check if you've got what the potential employer is looking for. If not, then don't bother to waste both of your time. Find a job that will make your potentials grow. Although it's a tough game out there, there will always be something that will fit your capabilities and skills. After finding that perfect fit, prepare your resume.
Express yourself. Through your resume, you have the tool to show off yourself. Make sure that it's the best side. Highlight your strong vision by showing that in your job objective. It should be a precise and direct to the point statement.
List your qualifications. Either educational or skills wise, you are qualified to apply for that job. That means that you need to show why. List them according to what you think will fit to the position you are applying for. Just make sure that they're 100% real.
Work it. Potential employers are interested in your previous work experiences and why you left a job. It's important to show in chronological order what you've done. There's never a small job or big job. Just know that listing them would show that you have been working. Every experience helps in making you a better worker.
Check your weapon. Re read what you wrote. Don't under estimate the power of a wrong sentence and what it can do to the overall effect of your resume. It has to be in a perfect working condition so that you're sure that it will have the potential to really help you.
And finally, attach a cover letter. Make sure that it's a great one. It's your timer to the ticking time bomb.

Follow Up After an Interview Without Being a Pest

By : Anthony Balderrama

Comparisons between job hunting and dating are common, and never are they more true than when it comes to the follow-up. After a date, you want to let the other person know you're interested, but you don't want to appear desperate. Plus, you don't want to feel foolish if he or she had no intention of contacting you again. On the other hand, what if he or she is waiting for you to make the call and if you don't, you'll miss out on a great romance?

So many questions and no definite answers to any of them. Ultimately you have to use your judgment and hope for the best.

Following up after a job interview is similar. As if you weren't nervous enough, you end up asking yourself a dozen questions and imagining hypothetical situations. "If I follow up now, do I seem desperate? If I wait too long, will they think I'm lazy? What if I'm the front-runner but I bug them and they cross my name off the list? What if I'm tied with someone else and my initiative gives me the edge?"

As with dating, job hunts don't have rules set in stone. At best, you can do what feels right and see what happens.

Here are three possible methods for following up with an employer and ways to know if you've crossed the line from eager to annoying.

1. The thank-you note is necessary after an interview, and no job seeker can afford to forgo it. Thank-you notes tell hiring managers that you respect their time. They have packed schedules and can afford to spend time interviewing only a select group of applicants, so your note acknowledges how grateful you are to get some face time.

Appropriate: An e-mailed note on the same day of the interview shows that you are courteous and don't dawdle. For most employers, an e-mail is an acceptable form of thanks because e-mail is a part of everyday business life and arrives quickly. A handwritten letter can be sent as a supplement to the e-mail if you want to stress your gratitude or you know the interviewer is old-fashioned.

Overkill: If you're going to follow up with a letter after your follow-up letter, think again. You already said thank you, so what else do you need to say? Both you and the hiring manager know that another letter is your way of asking, "Did I get the job?" Don't clog the hiring manager's inbox with more notes unless you want to be thought of as a pest.

2. The phone call is daunting and not the right move in every job situation. In fact, many job postings specifically state, "No phone calls." Unless you're feeling brave, you might want to skip it.

Appropriate: Unless you were specifically instructed not to call the hiring manager or another contact, you can make the call after an appropriate amount of time has passed. In this case, if you were given a deadline for when a decision would be made, let it pass and wait a few extra days and then make the call. Just once (unless instructed to call back).

Overkill: The phone call is one of the easiest ways to sabotage your image. Call once, when appropriate, and don't call again unless you've been told to. Phone calls are a nuisance in a way that letters and e-mails aren't. You can decline to open a message or just read it and ignore it. A phone call is harder to ignore if it requires the hiring manager to screen his or her calls once you become a repeat offender. If the company wants you, it probably won't forget to call you.

3. The pop-in causes you anxiety when your in-laws do it. Your place is a mess and suddenly you're forced to entertain people who you might not like very much anyway. Don't do that to an employer if you want to be considered for a job.

Appropriate: Stopping by to visit the company is rarely acceptable. Unless you have an explicit indication that you're welcome to show up uninvited, which would actually imply that you are invited, showing up in person is inappropriate. This follow-up is one case where once is almost certainly too much.

Overkill: When you show up and the hiring manager or receptionist gives you a look that says, "Why are you here?" you'll know you've crossed a line. Employers are busy -- they have schedules, meetings, clients and tasks. By showing up unannounced, you not only disrupt their routine but also imply that you are more important than their obligations and deserve their immediate attention.

Of course, you're bound to meet someone who broke one of these rules and impressed the hiring manager by his or her audacity. Perhaps going against etiquette will work for you. Just be aware that you're risking your professional reputation and could be removing yourself from the running for a job where you were a top candidate.

6 Steps for First-Time Job Hunters

By : Kate Lorenz

Congratulations, you've done it! You made it through college, have your degree in hand and are finally ready to make your mark. You are now in the real world and it's time to get your professional life started.

If you are in the middle of this crossroad, it can be scary, exciting, confusing, overwhelming or all of the above. Following are some steps to make a successful college-to-real world transition.

Step 1: Pinpoint Your Direction.
After four (or five, or six) years of college, you are completely certain about what you want to do, right? If not, now is the time to determine what your strengths are and identify what kind of careers suit you. Are you someone who loves to be around people? Or are you happier crunching numbers or creating computer programs? Consider all of your strengths, weaknesses, likes, dislikes and interests when thinking about your career plan. Read about fields that interest you and talk to others who are doing jobs that you find interesting. Focus your direction on positions and fields that match your interests and talents.

Step 2: Do Your Research.
It is vital to learn as much as you can about the companies that interest you and to consider all of your options, says Pam Webster, a recruiting manager for Enterprise Rent-A-Car. She should know: Enterprise is the nation's largest recruiter of college graduates.

"You should be open-minded about opportunities in companies and industries you might not have thought of before," she says. Once you have identified companies that you want to target, Webster suggests looking at their Web sites, reading news articles and talking to current employees to learn as much as you can. "You also need to look at a company's stability," she says. "Is the company going to be there for the long term?"

Step 3: Assemble Your Toolkit.
It is important to have the right tools for any task. The tools needed for a job search are a résumé, cover letter and a portfolio of your work. Take the time to develop a résumé and cover letter that clearly convey your strengths and experience. Here are a few tips to remember:
# Think about the type of résumé you need. A functional résumé, which highlights your abilities rather than your work history, is a good choice for first-time job seekers.

# Focus on accomplishments and results you have achieved, rather than simple descriptions of experiences.

# Use action words in your résumé and cover letter to describe your experiences, such as "initiated," "produced" and "managed."

# If you are low on practical work experience, look to your part-time work, school activities or volunteer positions. "Evaluate all of your experience and translate how it applies to any job you might apply to," Webster says.

Step 4: Network.
One of the most important tasks in any job search is networking. Take advantage of any resources you have, including your school's career placement office, friends who graduated before you and are already working, friends of your parents, former professors, and neighbors. Send e-mails to ask if your contacts know someone who can help you. Pass your résumé around and ask others to do the same. Call your contacts to see if they know someone who works for a firm you are interested in joining.

Step 5: Play the Part.
If you want to join the professional world, you need to act -- and look -- the part. Buy a business suit and wear it to all of your interviews. "Make sure your e-mail address and voice mail greeting are appropriate," Webster says. That means if your e-mail user name is "crazygirl2005," you might want to get a new account. Webster says you should also remember to be professional at home. "Be prepared for a phone call or a phone interview at any time," she says. The more you play the part of a well-trained professional, the more people will see you as a professional.

Step 6: Don't Give Up.
The real world can be a real challenge. Set realistic expectations and recognize that you will probably have to start at the bottom and work your way up. You will likely face rejection as you start looking for your first full-time job, but everyone goes through it. Just remember to be proactive, be persistent and remain confident that there is a great job out there for you!

Are You Shooting Too Low in Your Job Search?

By : Beth Braccio Hering

Does your application secretly have the words "overqualified," "desperate" and "likely to be bored stiff within a month" written all over it? If you are aiming too low in your job search, chances are employers will read between the lines and notice -- and move on to someone else.

There are two primary reasons why people aim low, says Duncan Mathison, co-author of "Unlock the Hidden Job Market: Six Steps to a Successful Search When Times Are Tough":

1. They want to increase the number of opportunities. (More lower-level positions are available than higher-level ones.)

2. They think it will raise their odds of being hired. (They believe they will appear more qualified compared to other applicants.)

Lisa Quast, author of "Your Career, Your Way!" and founder of Career Woman Inc., a Seattle-based career development consulting company, adds that workers who are laid off or fired may think they just need to find a new job as quickly as possible due to their economic situation. Beyond money matters, she notes that sometimes people "lack internal confidence about their skills and abilities" and "don't have a clearly defined strategic career plan," both of which can lead them to apply for lesser positions.

The dangers

At first glance, it might seem that being overqualified would be a good thing. Wouldn't an employer like to get somebody who is even better than the job description?

Don't bank on it.

Overqualified candidates raise concerns in a hiring manager's mind. Will the person insist on doing things his own way? Can he accept instruction from somebody who is his superior at the firm but his equal (or less) on paper? Will the worker jump ship as soon as he finds a better job? Will he constantly be jockeying for more money and a higher position instead of focusing on the job for which he was hired? Will he get frustrated with this lower position and quit?

It's not just employers, though, who face risks; it's job seekers, too.

"The biggest danger is that you will not be hired if you shoot too low and then think to yourself, 'Good grief. I can't even land that crummy position. I must be a real loser!'" Mathison says.

Quast says other key dangers for the applicant include:

* Losing money. Accepting a job that pays $10,000 less per year than you're actually worth totals $200,000 in lost wages over 20 years.


* Stifling progress. You'll be less likely to be doing work that will allow you to grow and develop in your field.


* Becoming bored: Frustration from job dissatisfaction can escalate stress and harm health and overall well-being.


Upgrading your job search

Instead of downgrading a job search in order to try to increase the likelihood of landing a position, Mathison suggests coming up with a more fruitful plan of attack.

"When the economy is tight, a lower percentage of open positions are actually advertised as employers rely on less expensive recruiting through referrals and informal word-of-mouth advertising," Mathison says. "This 'hidden' job market actually becomes a bigger share of open positions. This means that networking plays a bigger role in uncovering unadvertised leads."

To maximize potential opportunities, Mathison recommends job seekers spend more time researching employers and asking people in their network and at professional organizations for leads. "Directly approach people who could be your future manager and tell them of your availability. These are the people who care most about what you can do and how you can make them and their teams successful."

Quast suggests spending some time on self-examination.

"Clearly define your career aspirations. If you don't know where you want to go, how will you determine how to get there? Know your strengths and weaknesses when you search for a new position so you can avoid targeting jobs that are beneath your skills. Identify those things you do better than other people. These are the things you do that will set you apart from others and that make you special."

Above all, hang in there and exude confidence. After all, if you don't believe you're worthy of the job you really want, how will anybody else?

Do You Get Flustered During Interviews?

By : Lizandra Vega

After months of seeking out jobs, hundreds of revisions to your résumé and going to every networking event you can, you've finally landed an interview. After brief small talk about how bad the traffic was or how slow the elevators are, the interviewer switches gears and begins her formal line of questioning.

"I see you currently work for our main competitor. What makes our company a more appealing choice for you?"

It's not a difficult question to answer. But suddenly you're tongue-tied and your answer comes out as: "Well, actually, it's like, um, you know."

What happened? This scenario is all too familiar to many job seekers. In stressful situations such as speaking in front of a group or interviewing for a job, people often revert to filler words such as "like," "you know," "basically" or "actually," and even sounds such as whistling, snorting or giggling to patch over pauses before collecting their train of thought.

We're all guilty of throwing in one or two of these utterances during normal conversation, but the danger lies in how often they are repeated. When you rely on these interruptions as substitutions for actual words in order to express your thoughts, you diminish your image as an intelligent professional and viable job candidate. You may be perceived as an individual who has trouble focusing, or as someone who has difficulty organizing his or her ideas -- deficiencies that potential employers interpret as hindering your work performance.

Self-awareness is a fundamental step toward correcting such habitual speech patterns that disrupt the flow of conversation, so here are seven ways to pick up on when you're about to trip up.

How to eliminate common speech hurdles and increase your verbal fluency:

1. Evaluate your verbal communication skills by taping yourself as part of a mock interview, suggests Leah Ross-Kugler, a certified speech-language pathologist. That way you can go back and listen for where you stumble.

2. Prepare talking points about yourself and keep them tucked inside your writing portfolio. Discreetly refer to your points in order to keep the flow of conversation moving smoothly.

3. Focus on your breathing by taking replenishing breaths between phrases so you can use complete words instead of sounds. Ross-Kugler explains this helps slow down your speech and allows you concentrate on what you're going to say next.

4. Modify a distracting behavior such as giggling by smiling. By using an action considered to be positive and engaging, you not only patch over potential gaffes but also improve your connection with the hiring manager.

5. Wear a ring or a watch on a hand that is not routinely assigned such accessories. They serve as reminders for avoiding nervous laughter during an interview, Ross-Kugler says.

6. Join a speaker's group such as the National Speaker's Association or Toastmasters International to practice and improve your verbal communication skills.

7. Keep an empty "filler sound jar" and lots of pennies handy. Monitor the number of filler sounds you use or enlist a friend or family member to do so. Similar to keeping a "swear jar," throw a penny inside the jar each time you use a word filler, snort, giggle or do anything that interrupts your flow of speech.

When you want to get the right message across, it's best to let the words flow. While you may not catch every 'um' or 'ah' at the next interview, you'll certainly reduce the number you say and come off as the clear, intelligent candidate you are.

The Best Way to Conduct a Mediocre Job Search

By : Kaitlin Madden

Most of us can pinpoint some form of mediocrity in our lives. For example, I am mediocre in that I do my own laundry, but I rarely separate my lights and darks. I like to run, but never more than three miles at a time. I watch the History Channel, but only to make up for the brain cells I've lost while overindulging in reality TV. I know that I am mediocre in these areas because I have blue socks that used to be white, I run four days a week but haven't lost a pound, and I probably know more about the Kardashians than I do about the Kennedys.

If you have been at your job search for a while now, and: A. Haven't gotten an interview, B. Haven't gotten a second interview or C. Can't seem to close the deal and land a job, mediocrity has probably contaminated your job search like a pair of blue jeans in a load of whites.

If you are guilty of one of these mediocre job-search tactics, it's time to step up your game.

You apply to 10 jobs per day, but don't send a cover letter

A cover letter can be time consuming. You have to find out the name of the person you are sending it to, and tell that person -- in a unique and extraordinary way -- why you are exactly what the company is looking for. You may even be able to double the number of applications you send out in a week by not including a cover letter. So you decide to stop sending them altogether. The only way that not sending out a cover letter with your résumé is anything other than mediocre is if you're in the job market only for the thrill of the chase. In that case, it is an excellent tactic.

"Hiring managers know that it's easy to just send in a résumé," says Monique Honaman, CEO of ISHR Group, a leadership development company based in Suwanee, Ga. Providing a customized cover letter that targets the specific job opening shows that you put some extra energy into applying for that position, and it also tells the recruiter why you are a good fit for the job, she says.

Basically, if you don't include a cover letter with your application, you might as well just change your first name to "Lazy" on all of your application materials, because that's all the recruiter will see anyway.

You land an interview, but don't research the company beforehand

Would you go to Paris without knowing how to say, "Where's the bathroom?" in French? Would you make a chocolate cake without a recipe? Would you go on a blind date without doing an Internet search on the person first? If your answer is yes, you may also be inclined not to research a company before an interview. Although it may seem like you're saving time initially by winging your interview, in reality, you're actually wasting time, since your interview will be fruitless if you show up unprepared.

"There is nothing more embarrassing in an interview than being asked a question and not knowing some very basic element about the company and its product or service lines," Honaman says. "And don't think that hiring managers don't have some stock questions in mind to get at the very basics of whether you have done your research. You can't convey a message of, 'This is the perfect job for me' if you don't know the basics about the company."

Although research is time consuming, it is also time consuming to go on 10 interviews and not get a job offer. In order to rise above mediocrity, remember the five P's: Prior preparation prevents poor performance.

You do so much research that you don't have any questions for the interviewer

Before your interview, you may spend days researching the company, the industry it's in and the type of position you're up for, so by the time the interview rolls around, you may think you have all the information you need about the company. When the hiring manager asks, "So, do you have any questions for me?" you reply, "No, I think I'm all set!" Even if this is true, ask a question anyway.

"Someone who doesn't ask any questions appears to be disinterested in the position and that apathy shows through," Honaman says.

So, if you want the job, it's best to ask something (read: anything). "Hopefully, the interview process truly did generate a few questions in your mind," Honaman says. "If not, be prepared with a few 'stock' questions such as, 'What do you like most about working here?' or 'After reviewing my résumé and having this interview, what concerns, if any, do you have about my fit for this role?'"

This lets the interviewer know you were paying attention and are interested.

You have plenty of questions to ask, but you don't think before you speak

For example, "If you ask about work/life balance, do it without sounding lazy," says Ed Muzio, author of "Make Work Great." "One of the best ways I ever heard this put was like this: 'Every job falls somewhere on a continuum; on one end is people putting in their 40 hours and leaving, on the other end is 90 hour weeks with nothing but work and sleep. Where would you say this job falls?' One of the worst ways I ever heard it put was like this: 'Are people expected to work, like, a lot of extra hours?' Same question, different message," Muzio says.

If you ask thoughtful questions that reflect both your interests, as well as the employer's, you're sure to leave a good impression.

Like anything else in life, when it comes to a job search, you get out of it what you put into it. A mediocre effort yields mediocre results, and -- unless you don't mind selling yourself short -- it's best to put 100 percent into your job search.
