-link"> For those too young to know who Aretha Franklin is, she was one of the top recording artists in the 60’s and 70’s. One of her all time best selling records (i.e. CD, iTunes, digital recording, etc. in today’s world) was a song called, “RESPECT.” All Aretha wanted was, ” to give me just a little, just a little, R. E. S. P. E. C. T. when I come home.” (Author’s comment, I think it was this song that taught most kids in the 60’s how to spell “respect.”) All most candidates want is, “to give me just a little, just a little, R. E .S. P. E.C. T. when I come in for an interview.” Not a big request, considering it’s “just a...

Most companies and even HR don't know the biggest hiring mistakes. I'll bet you can't name the number 1 biggest hiring mistake? So how do you fix your hiring problems if you don't know what they are?

There seems to be two types of candidates in this world. Those that ramble on and on hoping if they talk long enough the person will forget the question they asked or the candidate that gives one or two word answers to every question. It is like pulling teeth to get a complete answer. There is a happy medium between these two. We suggest never talking more than two minutes without re-engaging the hiring manager. To re-engage, simply ask a follow-up question. For pain questions we use the acronym S.W.E.A.R. to format an answer, tell a story and stay within the two-minute rule. - Statement - Repeat the question in your own words to clarify you heard the question. This should take five to ten seconds...

Your positive Internet presence isn't just about being found in search engine results, or the number of contacts you have on various networking platforms. To a large extent it's about your approach, attitude, and philosophy about networking, or more specifically - online networking. One synonym for the word "presence" is charisma. Ultimately, someone's Internet presence is a transformation of a few basic ingredients: one's openness to new contacts (both with respect to approaching others you don't know, as well as others approaching you who don't know you); a willingness to accept some risk when it comes to helping or connecting with someone; combined with how well you project all of this in a...

At the age of fifty-something, I lost my job. My company, here in Oklahoma City, was very pleasant when they notified me that I was not being fired, just laid off. But, you know what? The end result is the same. The bottom line is I am jobless, unemployed, out of work, unwaged and oh, yeah, I forgot, seeking work. I began my journey to a new job by updating my resume (there was some dusting off involved but I finally got it ready to go). Next, I got the resume out to as many potential employers as possible. But, guess what follows getting your quality resume out? That's right! You're called in for an interview. Another journey I hadn't taken in 36 years. I arrived on time for my first interview (I...

Also referred to as MLM network marketing, this method of marketing can be a win-win situation for everyone involved.

Interviews are some sort of an exam so previous preparation is quite important because the data that has been written in your resume cannot qualify you directly for the advertised job. Recruiters are extremely vigilant and assess all your words and even your body language.

In my point of view, the real meaning of "flexible job" is the job which doesn't disrupt your daily work, or as a college student, your class assignments, meanwhile could offer you some extra money in your pockets and helpful experiences in your resumes. As far as I am concerned, the flexible jobs do not necessarily call for certain skills, of course if you are a master in some sorts of fields, you choices will be more plentiful, and your leisure time will turn out to be more effective. For instance, if your major is computer engineering, you will be an ideal candidate for a...

Even the most qualified candidates with the strongest qualifications sometimes get bypassed by recruiters when they are looking to fill an open position. Why is this? Don't recruiters want to interview and hire and the best of the best? The answer to this question is, of course, yes! Recruiters are reviewing the resumes of submitted candidates to determine which individuals appear, on paper, to be a potential match for the position. But considering that a recruiter may get dozens, if not hundreds, of resumes for a single job opening, there is little time to carefully dig through each individual resume to see if a candidate has the "special something" the employer is seeking. As disappointing as...

Anxiety levels will be high, and expectations will be false. When it comes to a job search, I have two areas that I focus on with my clients, above and beyond the quality of their resume: proper expectations and key target market. The reason I focus in...
