Interview mistake #2: Getting lost in generalities
When you are asked what you do at work, does your reply sound like a dull recital of an official job description written by a committee?
If so, you're losing a big chance to score at the interview.
Yes
Originality in logo designing can really set new trends for others to follow. Perhaps, we don't need any expert opinion for this. Of late, we come across the term, ‘X-factor’, being applied in almost every field. This factor is even applicable to the professional field- to take your business to new heights. This so-called X-factor refers to something unique, unseen, innovative or original. Originality is the mantra of success but its path is not overtly embedded with roses, especially when one takes into account the innumerable
If you make even one of them, you'll drastically reduce your chances of getting selected.
Interview mistake #1: Thinking like a job hunter
The only reason why an employer hires you is because they want you to achieve certain results for them. Or solve specific problems. In other words, you have something of enormous value to offer the employer.
Yet, most who turn up for a job interview think that the only one with anything worthwhile to offer is the employer. Result -- they treat a job interview as a one-sided affair where the interviewer holds all power.
To be successful at interviews, it's essential that you become a full participant in the meeting, retaining equal power. Just as the employer must judge if you're the right person for them, you must judge if this organization offers the right opportunities for you.
Go in with clear objectives of what you need to know about them, while putting your best foot forward in responding to their questions. Obviously, this does not mean being rude or arrogant. It does mean that you are proactive in directing the conversation and getting the information you want.
This is very different from the traditional job-hunter's mentality. It's about developing an assertive, confident mindset that'll get you results. Try it.

Finding your first job out of college is an exciting and sometimes intimidating process. On the one hand, your future depends on it! You may be faced with new expenses such as rent, food, and student loan payments, and feeling the pressure to find the "perfect" job. On the other hand, today's workplace is much different from that of your parents' generation. The average person changes careers multiple times during his or her work history. Does this mean you should take your first job out of college lightly? Not at all—it simply

Many years ago when I hated what I was doing for a living I was encouraged by my career coach to write down several short stories about times and events in my life where I influenced the outcome. I was stumped at first, but after a few days, I came up with over 15 pages of stories of times in my life where I influenced the outcome and either grew myself and/or bettered the existence of either myself or others around me.So what does this have to do with a job interview?If you read other books on job interview

Is anyone surprised that this is where I chose to begin my monthly newsletters? The concept of "You win with people" is the basic premise that I have built my entire management and leadership style around. The quote and original concept was presented to me in high school when I read a book of the same name written by the Ohio State Football Coach Woody Hayes. Woody was known as a strict disciplinarian on the football field, but many people did not understand the depth of the man, as he was not only a football coach but a milita

Yes, employers do want to know what your responsibilities are. But they're more interested in hearing what results you achieved, your specific accomplishments and skills.
To put it another way, they want to hear how you performed at a task rather than just hear about what the task was. Use actual stories with names, products, places and so on.
Make sure you prepare beforehand, outlining specific accomplishments in brief story form. Convey slices of life rather than dull job descriptions.
Interview mistake #3: Not knowing enough about your target organization
It's not enough to read just the job description in an advertisement before you walk into an interview.
All other candidates have that same information. If that's all you know, you won't be able to distinguish yourself nor be able to tailor your responses to what they're really looking for.
Do your research. Tap your network, online sources, the company's website, people who currently work there -- in short, use any lead that can give you information about the organization and the job.
Apart from basic facts about the organization, find out a bit about their culture, what the position you're applying for is actually all about, the people you'll be working with and more. This kind of information serves two purposes.
One, you'll get a feel for whether this organization will truly fit in with what you're looking for. Second, it helps you p
