05 09 06 16:40Last minutes interview guide - top 20 tips
If you get the jitters when you go on a job interview, you need this guide. With the following practical and strategic tips, you'll sail through a winning interview!
When you’re in a good interview, it’s like being on a relay team. You and the employer are runners on the same team, and you both have a common goal: to figure out if you and the employer's organization are a winning combination.
So think of your interview as a sports event where you and the manager pass a "baton" back and forth. One good question leads to a good answer, which leads to another good question.
Before you know it, 30 or 40 minutes have gone by: You’ve both learned a lot about each other and made your selling points. Using this image of cooperation rather than one of opposition will help you have an effective interview.
Of course, not all interviews are going to be that fluid. Some managers aren’t skilled at asking good questions. Some may even try to trip you up with tricky questions. This guide is filled with tips about how to turn your interview into a winning relay.

16:25How to present your work history , educations etc
Most resumes are not much more than a collection of "evidence," various facts about your past. By evidence, we mean all the mandatory information you must include on your resume: work history with descriptions, dates, education, affiliations, list of software mastered, etc. If you put this toward the top of your resume, anyone reading it will feel like they are reading an income tax form. Let's face it, this stuff is boring no matter how extraordinary you are. All this evidence is best placed in the second half of the resume. Put the hot stuff in the beginning, and all this less exciting information afterward.

05 September 06 - 16:20Knocking the socks off a prospective employer
Research shows that only one interview is granted for every 200 resumes received by the average employer. Research also tells us that your resume will be quickly scanned, rather than read. Ten to 20 seconds is all the time you have to persuade a prospective employer to read further. What this means is that the decision to interview a candidate is usually based on an overall first impression of the resume, a quick screening that so impresses the reader and convinces them of the candidate's qualifications that an interview results. As a result, the top half of the first page of your resume will either make you or break you. By the time they have read the first few lines, you have either caught their interest, or your resume has failed. That is why we say that your resume is an ad. You hope it will have the same result as a well-written ad: to get the reader to respond.

11 October 05 - 11:06How to Make a Positive First Impression!
When you walk into an interview, remember this: It only takes 30 seconds to make a lasting impression.
Research has shown that the first impression you make on an interviewer really sticks. In one study, untrained subjects were shown 20- to 32-second videotaped segments of job applicants greeting their interviewers. When the subjects rated the applicants on attributes like self-assurance and likeability, their assessments were very similar to the interviewers' – who had spent more than 20 minutes with each applicant.
