4 Strategies for the interview

This is the first in a series of articles will be based on deeply my ten years of Talent Acquisition (Recruiting) working for Fortune 500 companies and the entertainment industry personnel. And 'my intention for these items for you with the support of real, hands-on information. I intend to draw on my experience hunting in the trenches as a recruiter or my personal success as a job. This first article describes some assertive techniques that I ask is to generateThe courage and confidence to take action that will help you distinguish with hundreds of other candidates currently in the pool of talent. But be careful you do only when these techniques are actually working very qualified! Although my experience is with the very big one, I argue that these techniques work well on an approach to small businesses.

First Stop sending your CV / profile and start conversations

Inthe current employment climate encourage you to seek a more active role in your own and stop sending your resume to every Tom, Dick, Harry, and job you see on the Internet. You may not realize, but once you send your CV, a company that you put your career in their hands. So if you have a booking with a company that interests you asking whether you can be different from your resume. Perhaps there is someone on the net, for the workThe company can ask for email or hand your resume to the hiring manager. If you do not know anyone then research to find out who to talk (with sites like linkedin.com this is not as difficult as you think). Send a short (perhaps two paragraph) intro tells them why the solution they need and let them know that you must follow in appeals in a few days. Recruiters do not want to hear, but (unless you are actually qualified for theOpportunities) is one of your best ways through direct contact with a Personal Chef. On many occasions I have met to discuss with employers have openings and leads directly to the candidates had made contact with them.

According Using the telephone

I know it sounds archaic in this age of technology. However, instead of leaving your career to cyberspace encourage you to do some basics, you know where to go, and have the courage tocall (only if you are truly qualified for the position). If you do the responsible for selecting the phone, ready with a solid twenty-second pitch, explaining why he should be the solution to their problem. Then make a deal to direct your resume to along with their online presentation. Let them know that I invite you to follow in a few days and how much I appreciate their time. Alternatively, if you put your online resume andI know you're a good candidate for the position within one week of follow-up call on the state's position. Tell them why would anyone want to meet them and interview for the post. Many say jobs, not to mention. However, if you take a strategic approach to understanding this is the line between phone calls and being a stalker, and there are indeed a strong candidate for the job as a Recruiter you do this or hire a manager. Favor In my day has been busy recruiting a service to me, if a qualified candidate, whose life had not yet seen, would be called to pursue. If time allows, I would immediately reopen them. If would be a good candidate, I was very excited and begin immediately to questions or to schedule a better time for an interview.

Third Do your research early

If you are contacted by a company which should be ready by conducted some initial research. It shouldanswer the following questions:

a) What does the company?
b) What is their market and their competitors
c) Corporate Structure
d) Key
e) your understanding of the work on the basis of the description.

Most if not all of this information can be easily over the Internet. You may not clarify the matter, that this knowledge has asked if they just call to schedule a meeting. However, it ispreparations.

Being the fourth solution

It is no secret that many companies are now fighting. So more than anything else, looking forward even more real your skills, company, rent as a solution to their problems. What is the problem? To understand how to save or generate more money. One way to distinguish itself clearly from other applicants is to illustrate that you are the solution to this problem. Want to have clear examples of howhelped address a company's bottom line on your resume and be ready to talk as soon as the first interview. This can be difficult if not jump in sales, finance or accounting. Here are some examples:

Marketing: How can we quantify the results, which have generated through marketing campaigns you run? How can you quantify the money saved or helped create, based on marketing analysis.

Product Development What kind of revenue generated by new productsstart?

Project Management How can a dollar amount if you quantify stored in a project?

Perhaps take an administrative leader who played a key role in the sales department and shows you how to know how efficient a system, what time your boss saved more to go further to close after sales.

These techniques can be scary for some. But courage you need to take assertive action in alignment with your desire to getmore work is just for you! It 's your vision with actions that contribute to your career is actually pegged back!
