Questions to ask during a job interview
Questions to ask during a job interview Questions To Ask During A Job InterviewPosted October 13, 2011, by Josie Chun Yure preparing for an upcoming interview and have been frantically Googling all the possible questions you could be asked. But have you thought about what questions you should be asking the interviewer? Job interviews are a two-way street and in a sense, you are also interviewing your prospective employer to see if they are a company you would want to work for. The goal is to find out not only if youre right for the role, but also if the culture of the organisation and their style of management suit you. The job description and marketing material may convey a certain image, but it is only when you go in for the interview that you will be able to suss out the situation for yourself. Ask about your role, the company and their industry After doing as much research as you can about the company and carefully reading the job description, ask specific questions about the org anisation and your role there. Whats their vision for your punkt? Will it change and evolve over time? What are the companys goals? Asking industry-specific questions is good too, especially if youve read something topical in the news or if recent government legislation has affected the industry. This will show the interviewer that youre keen, have done your homework and are a go-getter. Theyre sure to be impressed. What systems do they have in place? Another question you could ask is about what kind of systems they have in place. If their present systems are inadequate, will it be your job to change or develop them? Its good to show the interviewer that youre proactive and have initiative, but you first have to determine if theyre open to that. If youre someone who likes to implement change, you wouldnt want to work for an organisation that is change-averse and doesnt like to fix things that arent broken. Sample questions to ask at an interview Can you tell me a bit more about what the role involves? What is your companys organisational structure and management style? How do you measure performance and how often is it reviewed? What would my likely career path through the company be? Do you provide any sort of professional development, training or mentorship? What is your companys market or target demographic? Is that something that you would like to expand? If so, how? What do you see as the future of the organisation? If in doubt practise If you dont feel confident asking questions, make sure you write them down and practise asking them aloud so you can deliver your questions with confidence. What not to ask Dont ask about your salary first up wait for them to bring it up. And when they do, be prepared with our tips on how to negotiate your pay like a pro. And dont ask for the same information that theyve already provided on their website or in the job description, but ask for greater detail and elaboration. Its not all about them Just remember that as a candidate, you are an equal participant in the interviewing process. Tell them what you have to offer, but also try to elicit more information for your own benefit. The interview is a crucial opportunity for information exchange for both of you.

Communication with a Difficult Boss
Communication with a Difficult Boss Communication with a Difficult Boss A difficult boss almost always has a favorite subordinate, and invariably it is not you or me. If you met me, youd know why it isnt me, but you are totenstill wondering why it isnt you. The favorite is often a useful intermediary. Someone in that role can work for you, without his or his bosss knowledge. Consider this scenario The bosss pet informs you that he and the boss plan to shuffle some responsibilities. They will give part of your work responsibilities to a more senior coworker and assign you a less desirable task. This messenger, mind you, is not your supervisor, but is even with you in the corporate hierarchy. That means your boss had a discussion about your responsibilities not with you, but with someone else whose only connection to the whole affair is that he likes to kiss up. This may sound far-fetched to my luckier readers, but trust me, I once found myself in just such a situation. After he droppe d his bomb, I stood there thinking, Who do you think you are? Well, not in those exact words. Actually, I thought something else, which the editors wont print. Then a wolfish smile crept over my face, as I realized, with clarity of thought that is rare for me, that I had a maneuver that, oddly enough, would make this situation work to my advantage. I welches talking to a coworker, his favor with the boss notwithstanding, so I looked the bosss pet in the eye and said, in no uncertain tone, that I will not do the extra work and will be happy to take the hit on my annual review for not doing so. The bosss pet was taken aback. The boss and he had laid out this plan, and I should acquiesce. By rebuffing this individual, what series of events had I set in motion? First, I had disconnected him from the boss. He should not have implied that he and the boss decide things together. He should certainly not have let me know the decision before the boss had informed me. Invariably, this individu al goes and tells the boss what I have said. There should be no fear coursing through your veins, for the simple reason that all but the worst manager knows that you cannot give complete credibility to secondhand information. The individual relaying the information will tell it in a way that was not identical to the original statements. It is getting to be fun now, isnt it? Occasionally, your manager will be floating an idea to see how it flies. Either way, the boss now knows what your position is and you did not have to tell him in person. There is even an element of plausible deniability to your position. I am sure that the coworker did not even get the managers intent 100 percent correct. So, if confronted by your boss, respond with, Oh, that is what you meant? I did not get that from your minion. Or you can say that, even though when you first heard the idea you were resistant, upon further reflection you realized the value of it. Both you and your boss know that you are wafflin g, but if this is the greatest compromise you have to make in a year, you are having a better year than I have ever had. In the best of all worlds, your bosss response should go in the following sequence. First he should look at his confidant and think in disgust or dismay that the fellow has blown it. Second, he moves on to much easier prey. If handled properly, this occurs with minimal if any negative repercussions to you. Now thats communication. Adapted from Talking Back, by Ronald A.L. Rorrer, University of Colorado at Denver, for Mechanical Engineering, August 2006.A difficult boss almost always has a favorite subordinate, and invariably it is not you or me.

How to Advance Your Career With Continuing Education
How to Advance Your Career With Continuing EducationHow to Advance Your Career With Continuing EducationHow to Advance Your Career With Continuing EducationThe road to your next best career opportunity may lead you to continuing education classes. Heres why they are a great option. TWEETThe Great Recession may be over, but finding a great job is mora challenging than ever. Competition is fierce and employers want candidates who leid only excel at their work, but who are also versatile and can take on multiple jobs at once.The fastest way to land a job, earn a promotion or compete for a raise is through professional development opportunities such as continuing education classes. These noncredit courses teach professionals valuable skills to enhance their career, make them more employable and push them to the top of their game.What are continuing education classes?Continuing education classes are typically taught at a college or university, city employment agency or corporation special izing in a certain skill. Rather than focus on college curriculum, these courses delve more deeply into the specializations that are relevant to your career.Classes also teach fundamental skills not typically found in the students career. These additional skills augment your degree and major. Typical continuing education classes vary depending on industry and specialization, but some of the more basic classes include Computer Operating Systems, Microsoft Office, Office Management and Productivity, Adobe Creative Suite and Project Management. Click on the following link to view a list of the most popular adult education courses.Why should I take these courses?Theres something to be said about a person who wants to improve themselves and increase their knowledge. Learning is a lifelong journey, and youre never too old to take a class and learn something new. TWEETMost significantly, adult education classes help advance your career and stay ahead of the competition in the workplace. It s as simple as that. Employers will not spend money on team members who dont significantly contribute to the company.In addition, professional development classes can help you build skills you dont have the opportunity to practice during the regular workday. What better way to end a stressful day than by learning to do something youre truly interested in? Continuing education courses can be fun and exciting. For instance, many instructors invite students on field trips to practice their new skills in a professional setting.How else can this benefit my career?Any career coach will tell you that networking is key to getting ahead in todays workforce. In addition to building new skills that employers will find attractive, continuing education affords you the opportunity to network with your classmates and instructors.

The information at the beginning is more likely to be read than information stuck at the bottom. Continuing education is no different. Basic skills and augmented knowledge should be placed under the Areas of Expertise or Core Competencies section, which is usually located directly below the professional summary.Coursework specializing in certain areas of your major belongs under the Education and Professional Development section of your resume.Step 2 Limit the amount of Information.Some information is more important than others. While you want prospective employers to know you were selected for the business ethics seminar at Harvard University, the Excel training class at the YMCA doesnt require the same about of attention on your resume. The most important training opportunities should be listed with the following information institution, dates, location and training topic. The speaker and description is not necessary. Something like the Excel training course doesnt need to be included in your list of coursework simply list it among your technical proficiencies and leave it at that.Step 3 Format it appropriately.How you format your information will determine what the hiring manager notices and what he or she might miss during their initial review of your resume. For important training classes, list it directly under the college section. Format it as followsPrinciples of MicroeconomicsSponsored by YALE UNIVERSITY Atlanta, GA (2014)Specialized Diseases in PoultryU.S. FOOD DRUG ADMINISTRATION New York, NY (2010)Less important classes or locations should be formatted into a centered list, separated by bullet points or some other symbol, as followsProfessional Training DevelopmentMicrosoft Office Advanced Adobe InDesign Photoshop Business Ethics for Professionals IT Systems for Accountants Business Managers HIP PA FERBA Records Compliance Industrial Safety ProceduresIn the end.Whether youre looking for a new job or competing for a promotion, continuing education has several advantages.

A Quick Guide to Education Placement on Your Resume
A Quick Guide to Education Placement on Your ResumeA Quick Guide to Education Placement on Your ResumeA Quick Guide to Education Placement on Your ResumeWhere should your education go on your resume? Heres a quick guide to get you started. TWEETAs you piece together the information on your resume, you may start to wonder where that information needs to go. In terms of resume format, should you include your qualifications at the top of the document or is that better left for the end? Do you include your contact information on each page? There are many pieces to the puzzle, but the question I am asked fruchtwein often is whether or not to list your education prior to your experience or after your work history.The answer is this it depends. While that may not be the answer you want to hear, it is the truthful response. Read below for several rules and questions that we can apply to the education section that will guide you in its placement within your resume format.First have you gradu ated college within the last six months to one year?If so, then it is appropriate to list your education prior to employment experiences. This is because you most likely have limited professional experience and your education is the core competency that you wish to highlight for an employer.Secondly have you graduated from a well-known college or university?For example, if you graduated from Harvard or Princeton, this is information that should be highlighted in your resume. Depending upon the position and the employer, these types of universities will provide you with an additional advantage over other candidates.Next how many years of professional experience do you have in your desired field?If the answer is one or more years, then the education section can go after the professional history in the resume format. In this case, focus on highlighting your skills, accomplishments and abilities at each position. For those who have many years of professional experience, education beco mes less important as you move forward in your career.Remember, there isnt one resume format that fits all job seekers. Be strategic when placing your information and showcase your strongest assets and experiences first. Recruiters and hiring managers have precious little time and youll want to ensure the front-loading of pertinent information.Need help with your resume?
