I have known and heard many job seekers, even in their 30s swearing by a flurry of resumes they send to fetch interview calls.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How flawed this is! Unless you show that you have what they want, you are not going to get any response.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight:bold;"&gt;You have just 2 steps to prove&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prove that you can come up to their expectation in just 2 steps.&lt;br /&gt;1. Magical resume&lt;br /&gt;2. Great interview&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The job is yours if these 2 go fine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will deal with the 2 magic steps in my next post. &lt;br /&gt;You can research on the net and ask for my comments/suggestions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google-searchengineoptimization.com/"&gt;Search Engine optimization service&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30506472-115595040045929122?l=interviews-questions-tips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://interviews-questions-tips.blogspot.com/feeds/115595040045929122/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30506472&amp;postID=115595040045929122' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30506472/posts/default/115595040045929122'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30506472/posts/default/115595040045929122'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://interviews-questions-tips.blogspot.com/2006/08/interviews-questions-tips.html' title='Interviews-Questions-Tips'/><author><name>Alevoor Rajagopal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05078642167902167240</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30506472.post-115341170382794459</id><published>2006-07-20T08:46:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-11-09T00:00:42.676-08:00</updated><title type='text'>What Career Counselors Don't Tell You</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-family:verdana;" &gt;&lt;h3&gt;What Career Counselors Don't Tell You&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;They teach you Your Resume building, Interview techniques, Brainstorming techniques, and may be many things. Right; they are experts in their respective fields.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-family:verdana;" &gt;Still there are things they don't teach you&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;It is brainstorming, a couple of days ahead of your actual interview, I am talking about. I have never come across anyone using this simple but effective technique which hardens your confidence level but without telling you so.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;It is simple. Let's say you take tips from either a counselor or a friend. Almost all of them just take tips and come back. Now you would agree with me, that you knew many of those tips already. Well, nothing is lost. You can open a discussion about what you already knew. This brings out the weak points and flaws, if you had any. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Repeat the same with new tips too. It helps you understand more by removing misconceptions, or if you had not heard clearly etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Compare different options for all tips. This is the closing round of you brainstorming. As an ending, summarize the strong points that evolved. These are your strategies for a confident interview.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-family:verdana;" &gt;The Basic Idea&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Just notice that it went on so casually that you forgot you were actually using a scientific technique. I am not advocating a casual approach but about being confident. One is confident in circumstances like his/her known environment, when s/he is strong by virtue etc.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;Get going confidently, just by preparing the easy way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google-searchengineoptimization.com/"&gt;Search Engine optimization service&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/30506472-115341170382794459?l=interviews-questions-tips.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://interviews-questions-tips.blogspot.com/feeds/115341170382794459/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=30506472&amp;postID=115341170382794459' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30506472/posts/default/115341170382794459'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/30506472/posts/default/115341170382794459'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://interviews-questions-tips.blogspot.com/2006/07/what-career-counselors-dont-tell-you.html' title='What Career Counselors Don&apos;t Tell You'/><author><name>Alevoor Rajagopal</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05078642167902167240</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30506472.post-115212059962937601</id><published>2006-07-05T10:04:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2006-07-05T10:29:59.633-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Toughest Interview Questions</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Toughest Interview Questions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"&gt;Toughest interview questions are not those on your line of expertise. Not in the least. All those questions to check your hard skills are asked in the beginning but the tougher ones are saved for the last leg when you are tired.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Obviously, they want to check your soft skills, i.e; how do you react to irritating things, how well are you organised etc. Here are just a couple of toughest questions and why they are asked.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Toughest question #1: We can't offer such huge salary at this moment, would you like to accept this? (about 15-25% less than you proposed.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do they ask you this? There are several reasons.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ol  style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Employer is not seriously interested in you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Hiring manager is under pressure to contain the salary expense&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Hiring manager is indicating he doesn't want to loose you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;The company has a poor financial performance of late&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Toughest question #2: Tell us about yourself, please?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They ask this for they want not to know of your family; but&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;ol  style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;It shows how fast can you pull up yourself&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;How well can you brief your long track record&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;It shows how well organized are you&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;It shows your presentation skills&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;Finally, it tells about those skills you had not listed in the resume&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-family:verdana;font-size:78%;"  &gt;Is this all? Definetely not. I will continue with those questions in next postings. Now, how do you answer them? Believe me; answering toughest questions need not be tough if you expected them. Let me go about the point in the following posts.&lt;br /&gt;Thanks.
