Interviewing

We all know that to get a good job in today's economy is not simple, but in most cases are really competitive. Hence in order to get a job, you need to concentrate and do the the best of your ability to Ace an interview. Although the pressure is on you and on your skills, but the interviewer is also has numerous amount pressure on him/her - interviewer has a small amount of time in his/her hands to see that indeed you are the right candidate for the job. 


1.) What are some typical interview questions and good responses?

   One of the most obvious question: Can you do the job?
  • First of all it is important to know that though this question may sound easy, but it is more complex than you may think. Every interviewer tries to find your skills that are required to have in order to do the job, so it is important to bring relevant skills to the job that you are applying for. The answer should be yes, and then highlight your skills, your similar previous job experience, and focus on the questions.
     
      Do you know the company?
  • There so many businesses that are not just simply out there to make profits, but also they are out there to make a difference in the market. Interviewers are looking for people who not just simply try to get the job, but also know the core values, missions, and impact of the company. For instance, recently I saw a video of how people applying to jobs at Facebook, Yahoo, and other companies like those. If you do the research, you will find that to a good team player is important, but a deeper research of what Facebook may represent in our society is more important. For example, Facebook is committed to provide all day access to internet, help to keep connected, and share some of our life with friends. What is the best way to prove that you would be a really useful part of the Facebook community? What you simply have to do is to tell your interviewer that while you did the research about the company, you find important that Facebook is committed to provide access to internet all over the world.   
2.) What are the different types of interviews?
  • There are face-to-face interviews, multiple interviews, candidate group interviews, and panel interviews.


     


3.) What are some "Dos" and "Don'ts"? 
  • Be there the job interview before 10-15 minutes, because that also gives you some time to go over things that you feel is crucially important. 
  • Know that type of interview that you will encounter with.
  • Dress for success: tie, clean shoes, tie, etc.
  • Don't chew gum.
  • Don't make jokes, because you never know whose does and does not like it.
  • Don't say negative things about your previous job.

The Benefits of Having Your Visions/Goals Outlined

 We all remember creating some sort of vision board as a project for a class in either elementary school or middle school, and at that time, we either saw it as something fun and exciting to do, or just another stressful homework/project. As we get older, things similar to a vision board/creating outlines for things we want to accomplish become essential for our everyday lifestyle, and our long term goals. Today, we’ll be looking at some of the benefits of having a plan/schedule or outline for everyday life, as well as long term goals. 1. When you have a schedule/a to-do list, you efficiently assign a sufficient amount of time required to complete certain tasks, rather than leave most things undone because of distractions or not having a particular guideline to follow. This is most prominent amongst youths as we often get side tracked by social media, or other entertainment factors that hinder us from completing our daily tasks. 2.
