Avoiding Common Mistakes Don’t show up with coffee.  For some reason, lots of people think bringing a to-go cup of coffee to a job interview is a great idea. To an interviewer, this looks informal at best and disrespectful at worst. You're not on your lunch break, so treat yourself to a latte after the interview, not before. Even if the interview is early, or you might end up waiting a long time to get through with it, don't show up with a cup of coffee. The plus side is you won't have to worry about spilling it. Turn off your phone and put it away.  Biggest faux-pas of the mobile phone age? Using yours in a job interview. Never ever take your phone out and look at it at any point in the job interview. As far as your interviewer is concerned, you should be a troglodyte who's never even heard of an app. Turn your phone all the way off, keep it in your car, and never, under any circumstances, give the interviewer the impression that a text message takes precedenc...

Nailing the Interview Get there on time.  Nothing looks worse than arriving to a job interview late. Show up at the appropriate time, ready to go. If your interview is in an unfamiliar area, drive to the location the day before to make sure you aren't late because you got lost. Aim to arrive no fewer than 10 or 15 minutes before your assigned interview time to factor in unknown causes of delay like traffic conditions, etc. Keep in mind though, while it’s important to show up on time, showing up too early can be frustrating for potential employers. If they told you to be there at a specific time, that means they want you there at that time, not 30 minutes before. If you want to make a good impression, follow instructions specifically. Stay busy as you wait, writing notes or reviewing the job description and company information. Keep documents and materials in your left hand so you are prepared to get up and shake hands as soon as the interviewer comes out to greet you. ...

Interviews are sometimes your one and only chance at making a good first impression and sell yourself as a viable candidate for a job. Spending a bit of time ad effort preparing for the interview can be the deciding factor in whether or not you make it to the next round, or get the job. Learn to plan for success, approach the interview properly, and avoid common mistakes in job interviews to give yourself the best chance of getting a fresh start. Getting Prepared Do some research about the company ahead of time.  You will make an impression as a serious candidate if you come to the interview with some background knowledge about the company and the direction in which it’s heading. Try to figure out the goals of the business or the organization that you're applying for a job with, getting some sense of their style and the way they situate themselves against their competitors. Focus on using the vocabulary that shows up on the company’s website. If you’re applying for a s...

Changing your career can either be the best decision you have ever made, or the worst. It is this un certainty that holds a lot of people back from moving on in their career, but with careful planning and research you can minimise the risk of leaving a job that you are not totally satisfied with for an even worse job. Worst career change mistakes 1. Making a rash decision Before changing occupations, you should do a deep dive to assess why you want to leave your current one. “You need to invest time to figure out why you’re dissatisfied and what’s going to make you more satisfied going forward,” says Deborah Oronzio, a career-transition coach. Ask yourself why you’re unhappy—and answer honestly. You may simply be having a bad week or a bad month—or you may just hate your boss, not your industry. “We all go through phases of unhappiness with our jobs,” says Randy Block, an executive coach and staffing consultant. “You should be running toward something, not ru...

The Hidden Benefits of Hard Work We all know that hard work pays off in the form of success. As the famous Thomas Edison quote goes “Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration”. The end result of hard work is often incentive enough for us to put our noses to the grindstone and plug away at our goals. However, in addition to the obvious rewards of our hard work, we can reap other, often overlooked benefits from our hard work. Hard work gives you an advantage. If you’re looking for a competitive edge and a way to stand out and get noticed, hard work is the answer. Those who have achieved success often attribute their success to hard work, determination, and perseverance. Christiano Ronaldo  is a great example of someone who used work ethic to gain an advantage.
