What do successful candidates do to get the job?
369007
Most "successful" candidates have earned that label because of what they have done their whole lives, not just the short period leading up to a job interview.  For example, they have gained valuable volunteer experience, worked hard in high school and earned a degree from a good college, put a lot of effort into their previous jobs and have great references to show for it and so on.  As for the pre-interview period, you will have to realize that you are a product which you will need to market effectively to earn a good job.  Approach it as a sales job, and prepare your sales strategy long before the interview begins.  GOOD LUCK!

Be very specific so they know who to give your resume to.  An objective of finding an interesting job goes into the waste basket.  Are you only looking at ads or are you taking out the yellow pages and calling companies in your field and asking if you can fax over a resume and to who's attention. Only 10% of all jobs get advertised. Have you told everyone you know you are looking? 70% of people get their jobs through someone they know.

1. Send a hard copy of the resume on good paper, and put a cover letter.\n\n2. Tell them what you can do specifically to make their company better.\n\n3. Network--you have to go around in person and talk to people, and ask them who to talk to, etc.  You don't find jobs by sitting on the internet.  You have to put gas in the car and buy comfortable shoes.  You have to be politely pushy.\n\n4. Be very friendly to the receptionist or secretary--they can be your friend, and they can be your enemy, because they will talk to the boss when you are gone.

It all depends on the interview...if you felt it went well, there is a good possibility. What they are trying to tell you is that you may not have all of the things they are looking for and if no one else comes forward with better qualifications then they will probably call you.\nBest thing for yo to do is continue to look for work, if someone wants you really bad, they will hire you on the spot, but still interview. \nYou can also do a check up call.\nCheck with them and see if they have hired someone, let them know that u r really interested in the job, also it doesn't hurt to send them a thank you note whether you get the job or not, to let them know you appreciate their  interest in you. Because if they hire someone else and it doesn't work out, then you have your foot further in the door...\n\nGood Luck

I've been a hiring manager so I have some experience in this.  Here's the key:\n\nYou need to be personally convinced that the company you work for really is the best.  If this is the case, your genuine enthusiasm will come across while talking to prospective candidates.  If you're not, they'll sense it and you won't be as successful.

Helpful Strategies for Job Seekers\nAre you in the job market? Looking for a new job? A first job? Returning to the workforce after a long period of time off? Here are some helpful tips and special links as you enter the market.\n\nWhether you're a first-time job seeker or a veteran of America's labor force, there are ten simple rules you need to know before you sit down for a job interview:\n\n   1. Know what to expect\n      A typical interview will focus on your education, experience, background, attitudes and career goals. Be prepared to address each of these areas during your meeting.\n\n   2. Ask questions\n      Don't miss your opportunity to interrogate the employer. You owe it to yourself to prepare a list of respectful questions ahead of time.\n\n   3. Be prepared for tough questions A tough interview question is any question you might find difficult or impossible to answer. Some of them you can anticipate ahead of time - prepare for them ahead of time.\n\n   4. Look good\n      Choose what to wear carefully. It's no secret that most often judge job seekers based upon their appearance and behavior.\n\n   5. Be professional\n      Approach every job interview as if it were an important meeting.\n\n   6. Conclude the interview\n      Conclude every interview with a clear plan of action in mind. State what that plan is and then follow through with it.\n\n   7. Deal with money issues\n      Compensation is important to both you and the potential employer. Talk about issues of pay and/or other compensation in a professional, matter-of-fact way.\n\n   8. Follow-up\n      A post-interview letter is invaluable. Thank the potential employer for the interview and outline the follow-up plan of action you're taking.\n\n   9. Evaluate job offers\n      Evaluating job offers can be tricky. It's a very personal process. List all the positives you can think of and weigh them against any negatives you can think of. Be fair to yourself and your potential employer.\n\n  10. Wrap things up\n      Don't neglect this final stage. Not a lot of people do it, but it's truly the mark of a professional. Write to all the people you interviewed with. Thank them for their consideration and let them know what you decided.\n\nManaging a Career\n\nThe nature of the workplace is changing, concerns about the future have been expressed by many individuals, both those preparing to start a career and those having to adjust to job changes and job losses. Stable and secure positions seem to have disappeared. You have been put in charge of your own career. Managing it will be a lifelong process. Discover the place in the world where you'll be able to enjoy a high level of wellness. Choose work that will be compatible with your own unique skills, knowledge, personality and interests. Define the balance that you would like to have with your work, finances, health, and relationships with family, friends and colleagues.\n\nBe proactive about your career. Take charge. Don't just react to whatever chance or luck brings your way.\n\nYour success depends upon understanding the changing nature of jobs, careers and the workplace in general. Be aware of local, national and even global trends. Big companies are getting smaller-they are downsizing and delayering. Internal promotions are becoming more scarce. Companies are outsourcing, entering into joint ventures, opening up opportunities for entrepreneurs.\n\nIn addition to whatever academic background or discipline that a potential employer may specify, employers say they are looking for people who are independent decision-makers and self-managed learners with a positive work attitude, well-rounded education with math and computer literacy, communication skills including good use of language, interpersonal and time management skills, flexibility and dependability. Employers seem to be much more interested in what you've actually done with your talents, than in what talents y

I've interviewed many many people for jobs, so I can talk about what I'm looking for.\n\nFor your best quality, talk about things that are work-oriented. Some examples:\n   -you are good at working with people\n   -you are able to organize a group of people to work on projects\n   -you are able to focus on your projects and assignments. \n   -you have great attention to detail\n\nThe key is, you have to be believable. It's best if you have specific examples to back this up. If you tell me that you are a great people person but you seem really shy and can't put a sentence together, I might not believe you.\n\nThe greatest weakness question is trickier. You do want to put a positive spin on it, but you also don't want to sound like you're just trying to make yourself look good. I usually look for someone who has a clear awareness of their weakness and has a plan or goal of overcoming it. For example, if you are a shy person, say so, but talk about what you are doing to help overcome your shyness. I like to hear when a person is taking active steps to address their areas of weakness.\n\nFinally, if they ask you if you have any questions, ask questions that really show that you have done some research about the company and the position you're applying for. Ask specific questions about the work environment, the type of work you'd be doing, or what direction the company is heading. It's best to show that you know something about the company. And if you can't think of anything else, ask the interviewer what they like and dislike about working there.\n\nRemember, be comfortable and be yourself. I can usually tell when someone is faking it.\n\nGood luck!

Honestly most people get a job by word of mouth, knowing someone. But a lot of places require you to submit an on line application. But this might help. I found out that calling and asking to talk to the manager is good any way. \n\nI did that and the manager said he would watch for my application. Though I decided not to apply for that job. \n\nSo try every avenue you can to a get a job. Also go back after you put in an application and ask if they have hired any one. This got me a job one time. And dress nice even just dropping off an application. \n\nYou don't have to over dress. I don't know but to be honest dresses for women always look good and make a good impression or black pants and a white shirt, depending on the job. \n\nAnd smile and make polite conversation. I have had many part time jobs. And offered many more(some full time) and raises not to leave. But right now I will probably be doing some sort of job from home soon. Checking into it. \n\nThere are lots of little things you can do to increase your chances. Even reading a library book on resumes can help.

I've conducted about 500 interviews on candidates and what we are looking for is\n1) Integrity\n2) Honesty\n3) Can do attitude\n4) A person that is effective\n5) the person who is likely to be the most successful in a position.\n\nThat being said, in the case of asking what is your weakness, tell the interviewer something that is a weakness of yours, but follow up by stating what you are doing to overcome that weakness.\n\nFor instance, one of the people mentioned procrastination. If you are a procrastinator, share what you are doing to ensure you will get things done on time.\n\nPeople who answer this question without admitting to any type of weakness are quickly bypassed by me because they have just shot their credibility with me. If they cannot admit they have any type of a weakness, this is a signal to me that this person will never admit when they make a mistake and will avoid the truth. They also may have difficulty working in a team setting because they sound like they have an ego problem.\n\nSo your best bet is to answer this honestly.\n\nLying may get you the job, but if you lie on the interview and the find out, they can terminate you, or at the least, you have damaged your credibility.

You should have good grades or scores in your qualifying exam. You shold pass the the written exam if any with the best score and you should impress the interview board with your intelligence. You will then land up a good job. \nIf you don't have any of these qualities, then a big recommendation will help you. \nIf you have some powerful friends then they can help you land a great job.\nTry the first option, and make the world a good place to live in for other people as well.

You can start by learning to spell. No one wants to hire a person who cannot spell. Keep the resumes coming. It will get a hit sooner or later..........

You see a vacany that you like and you feel you fit the bill you write your application and attach your resume and click on the send button.Once that is done successfully you need to sit and wait till the other party calls either by e-mail or over the phone or by post depending on what you had provided them or they could ask you for some additional information if they have borderline doubts.\n\nIf it is a long distance job they could either ask you to contact their local rep for an interview or else invite you over for an interview.Some companies also pay the fare for the interview while others are not so gracious.\n\nOnce the interview is over they'll ask you to cool your heels and they will inform you when to join if selected if you don't hear from them within a stipulated time frame they would not ask you to call but be smart enough to assume that you were not good enough for them.\n\nIf you get the call pack your bags and reach with the appointment letter if not don't lose heart try again.Maybe you were too good for the creeps who rejected you!!!The bottom line is become King Bruce and keep trying again and again and again till you make it or they break it in you(God forbid)!!!
