When interviewing for a job, whether it’s to start your career after finishing school or to move up to a better position, the best thing you can do is come prepared. Dressing appropriately and researching the company are two ways to prep for the day, but it also may be helpful to give your resume another look and anticipate interview questions.

As far as interview questions, know off-hand such things as the name of the company you work for as well as your title and a description of your responsibilities. Also, be able to recall all of your employment history quickly. Have your resume readily available for reference, but refrain from reading it as a script. The interviewer has the same resume and can read it just as well as you.

I’ve become increasingly concerned about the ignorance of Americans - not those who have learned English as a second language, but native English speakers - regardless of race, income level, schooling or other determining factors.

The number of people who read seems to be decreasing in direct proportion to the number of kids growing up with portable dvds, and ipods. Television has become the preferred babysitter for children and the most effective way for adults to anesthetize themselves after a day’s work. Teachers, overworked and underpaid, seem to be fighting a losing battle - or are some perpetuating ite

Sending a thank you letter is as important as interview preparation. But they’re tough to write, so people either tell themselves that not sending one doesn’t matter, or they procrastinate until it’s too late and almost pointless anyway. But anyone who tells themselves that foregoing a fundamental rule of etiquette doesn’t matter, not only taints themselves in the mind of the interviewer, but misses two additional opportunities to sell.

A thank you letter is an additional sales piece. As I’ve said before, you’re selling a product and the product is you. So beyond the reason of etiquette, the letter sells you as a polite person who recognizes that the interviewer gave them something valuable: time and consideration.

If recruiters are so helpful in finding a person a job, why do they get such a bad rap sometimese We’ve all heard the stories: a candidate’s resume ended up on his boss’s desk, or the current company was called for a reference without the person’s permission. The recruiter misrepresented the candidate to the company or vice versa and wasted everyone’s time.

Too often candidates aren’t any more selective about the recruiters with whom they work than they are about the companies with which they interview. That’s understandable considering candidates often buy into the myth that all recruiters are omniscient and omnipotent. When you don’t know how a recruiter works, it’s easy to assume they know what they’re doing.

Giving an interview can be one of the more stressful things you have to do, and there’s so much advice out there it’s hard to know where to start or which advice you should follow. The thing to remember is that giving a confident interview is a skill that can be learned, just like making a cracking omelette, driving a car or delivering a presentation. Here are my 5 tips to giving a confident and effective interview.

1. Know your subject, but don’t over-prepare

When I was up against a book deadline and needed a couple of people to interview who had achieved business results from podcasting, I put out a call through a service called Help a Reporter Out (www.helpareporter.com). This free service functions very much like paid reporter lead services such as Profnet or Travel Publicity Leads. Generally media people put out such calls either when they need interview leads extremely soon (like a deadline in two days) or when they have rather unusual interview needs that can’t be satisfied through the usual channels (such as looking for someone who has diabetes, owns pets and is gay or lesbian).

The average worker in the United States changes Careers seven times in their lifetime. However, this figure is changing. Many individuals in their twenties and thirties will tell you that they have had ten or more jobs since they graduated high school. This is usually because these individuals enter into a job thinking that it is going to be the one thing they do until they retire. But they soon find out that it is the one job that they do not want to be in for the rest of their life, let alone for the rest of the day.

If you were asked what tools you would need to find the right job, what would you saye You would probably mention a highlighter and a newspaper, a resume’, a cover letter, and the internet. All of these are definitely correct. You have to look for the right job in the right places and you have to have a resume’ to highlight your expertise. Without any of these, you have nothing to work with.

Everyone has a bad experience with their job at one time or another, but the occasional bad experience doesn’t constitute walking out the door and never coming back. Some individuals do this, but there are many who don’t. Then again, there are those who walk out the door because they have ample reason to do so. This can be due to bad treatment from a boss or another employee, business practices that are not moral, or the job is not what it was said to be.
