Ask For The Job! by Randy Wooden - Oct, 2009 The other day someone asked me what was the biggest mistake I’d ever made during an interview. Well, as a human we live and learn, but one thing stood out. I’d failed to ask for the job. Not once, but twice. Let me explain. Years ago I’d interviewed for a sales position selling textbooks to colleges.

Hygiene And Cleaning House Before The Interview by Randy Wooden - Oct, 2009 Be careful where you conduct your final grooming prior to entering the interview.

After all, practice - especially when it’s focused and targeted - makes perfect. When it comes to your career, whether you’re looking for work or want to make more out of t... |

Communication Sense by Rob Taub - Sep, 2009 High Self-expectation + Tenacity ≠ Arrogance. On the other hand, ‘high self-expectation + tenacity’ minus a well-developed ‘communication sense’ might. Has this happened to you? Has your enthusiasm and focus on being the best you can be, either in an interview or one the job ever have this effect? I am not suggesting you completely ‘curb your enthusiasm’ during an interview or on the job but rather that you work on ... |
