Career Tip of the Month

Interviewing

Interviewees should answer questions concisely and conclude with, "Does that answer your questions?" or "Is there anything else you needed to know about that?" This allows you to answer completely. Keep your answers short and simple -- not so short that it seems you are hiding something, but not too long-winded, either. Also, if you are worried that you may not have enough job experience, there are other ways to build yourself up when competing against applicants who have already worked in the field. Talk about coursework or classroom experience. Pull in other experiences that may be minimized on your resume or talk about experience that you may have left out of your resume that is applicable to the job.

How to Find the Best Jobs During an Economic Recovery:

"Spend quality time cultivating your personal and professional network. Just as the best employment firms learn about good openings before the general public, employees of companies can learn about excellent new job opportunities before any official and time-consuming search gets underway. Remember, most companies will proceed slowly and carefully until management is thoroughly convinced that a recovery has taken hold. Once you learn of a new opportunity from your network, be proactive and get to work. Do your research and contact the company and market yourself as the best choice before prospective employers are overwhelmed with resumes from equally- or lesser-qualified candidates.”
