Services and Resources
Career management
can be a daunting task for any individual. In many ways, it is similar
to managing a small business, that
is the business of Me, Inc. If you need help mastering your CEO
role in the most important business to you, then check out the following
career services and resources for assistance.
Networking
More people
get jobs through networking than any
other way. Networking is the only way to build relationships that
can last the lifetime of your career. Successfully network when
you give more than you get. Approach networking with curiosity and
what you can do for others. Then people will remember you as a person
who cares and reciprocate by offering to help you.

TeleClasses
What are
teleclasses? Teleclasses are facilitated by telephone. You can
attend from the comfort and convenience of your own home. Some cost;
some are free; but all are fun! When you enroll you will get a special
phone number and PIN giving you access to the phone line at the
scheduled time. You pay long distance phone charges, but inexpensive
phone cards make this cost nominal compared to the valuable learning
you will receive.

Search Tips

Game
Throughout
your job search ponder this – You must collect your share
of “No’s” before you get your “Yes”.
And it only takes one “Yes”
to get a job!
Mind
Your Manners
Your mother
was right. Please and thank you do count. It’s amazing
what a well-timed thank you card or
letter to a potential employer can do for your job search.
It may not guarantee a job, but it will bring your resume
and application to the top of the stack! As one employer said,
“I may not hire the person with the thank you card, but
I will definitely keep his resume for future reference. I
will also keep him in mind if I hear of any opportunities
with other companies.”

Interviewing
is not just a question and answer session with a potential
employer. Body language plays an important a role in the job
interview process, too. Shake hands with the interviewer,
sit up straight, look the interviewer in the eye and SMILE!
Smiling relaxes your muscles to make you appear at ease and
receptive to what the interviewer is saying. Remember to dress
the part. Experts say that an interviewer makes up his mind
about you within 15 seconds after you enter the room. That’s
before you’ve said a word! Make your job search preparation
count by developing your style and poise.
Tell
Me About Yourself
The dreaded
interview question! What do you say? Keep in mind the purpose
of this question. Usually, it is asked once your sit down
facing the interviewer. You may see it as an “ice breaker,”
but beware. The employer is looking for a couple of things.
First, does your answer show how you qualify
for the position? Second, how comfortable are you in
thinking “on your feet?”
Stay away from the long-winded history of your life. Stick
to the facts of your job performance and accomplishments.
Use this question to sell yourself!
