Top 10 Ways To Improve Your Interview Body Language

The following article summarizes the top 10 ways to ensure that you show good interview body language. Make sure that all the preparation you do for a job interview isn’t in vain. Your body language is key to job interview success.

The top 10 ways to improve your interview body language are as follows:

1) Eye Contact

There’s nothing more off-puttingto an interviewer than the interviewee being unable to make regular, good, strong eye contact. The interviewer may think that, because you’re unable to do this, you either have something to hide, or you may not have the conviction of your beliefs. If you have difficulty concentrating when looking straight into someone’s eyes, then try looking between their eyes. They won’t be able to tell you aren’t looking straight into their eyes, but you’ll find it easier to maintain focus. Try it with a friend first to see what I mean.

2) Smile

You need to practice a strong, sincere smile. A good smile has the power to say, “I’m a happy, confident person and I’d love to work here.” Try practicing smiling in a mirror. Practice a smile that puts people at ease. It’s just as much your responsibility as theirs to ensure a relaxed atmosphere during the interview. If you’re embarrassed about your smile, see what a dentist can do about it. It might not cost too much to fix your teeth – and it will get you a lot of money if you get the job!

3) Open Body Language

Again, try practicing with a friend first. Make sure your legs are slightly apart if you’re a gent. Place your hands apart, on your thighs is good. Open body language is even more important when the interviewer is talking. It demonstrates that you are receptive to the question and actively listening. Remember when you practice your body language with a friend to take note of what to do with each part of your body. Unless you do that – and remember – you’re leaving it to chance that your body language will come across well at your job interview.

4) Don’t slouch

It’s easy to appear as if you slouch too much. This is especially prevalent if you’re asked to sit in a large, soft seat. Try not to appear too relaxed. Not sitting all the way back in the seat is a good idea. If you sit forward, it makes you look more attentive and more interested. Some people slouch because they’re not very interested. Other people slouch because they have bad body language. Either way, an interviewer isn’t going to be too impressed. Try practicing in a mirror at home.

5) Don’t be too erect

If you’re too erect then you won’t appear relaxed. If an experienced interviewer is interviewing you, they might put this down to stage fright. They might judge you on what you’re saying rather than how uptight you appear. However, if your interviewer isn’t too experienced, they might not feel relaxed either because of your posture. They could leave the interview with a feeling that you weren’t as good as the other person simply because you were too erect. Try to relax… but not too much!

CAREER PLANNING

  BY ©JEFF ROWE

  

What comes to your mind when you think about career planning?  Many people aren’t sure what career planning means.  For our purposes we will define career planning as “A goal that you desire to achieve in a selected field or occupation with a well thought out plan to get you there.”

WHY DECIDE ON A CAREER GOAL?

A career goal helps you focus and make decisions on what you want to do for a living. It directs you, motivates you and helps you to accomplish what you want.  A career goal helps you focus and make decisions on what you want to do for a living. A career goal can be a specific job—such as a clerk or teacher—or a career goal can be a particular field you want to work in, such as transportation or education.

A career goal may help you discover your talent, skills and abilities and possibilities that you wouldn't have thought of.  Many possibilities exist with any career you choose. Having a career goal can guide you to doing what you want to do in your life—rather than just aimlessly drifting from job to job.

Once you choose a career, it would be to your advantage to think strategically about the steps you need to take to accomplish your goal.

The future is unpredictable; however, you should still make career goals and plan the necessary steps to your goal.   

EXPECTATIONS/DISAPPOINTMENTS

With every goal there is an anticipated desired outcome.  We call this an expectation.  Our expectations help keep us motivated.  When we realize our goal, we often feel joy and satisfaction. 

All of us have expectations and disappointments.  In the process in thinking about our goals, we have to be prepared to have disappointments.  

Career planning is simply goal planning with the intention of setting goals for jobs and career.

 However, the only career planning you need is the one that is for you and

your particular needs. 

Career planning is getting information, and with that information, you make a goal, and then plan the steps needed to obtain that goal.

The world we live in works in certain ways.  The more one knows how it works, the better one can achieve those goals by utilizing the processes that will give you the advantage.  Career planning is simply goal planning with the intention of setting goals for jobs and career.

In order to remain competitive you need to be as flexible as you can and continually increase your skills.  Some things you can do are: go to school, take workshops or seminars, keep up with trade journals and talk to people who are knowledgeable in the field.  Today, it’s almost mandatory for us to take some form of training all through our career to keep up with the times.

When I talk about training or skill, I’m not just talking about things like organization and time management, although these are important.  However, stress management, problem solving, risk taking, and overcoming procrastination, to name a few, are equally, if not more important, to getting to your goal.

WHY IS CAREER PLANNING IMPORTANT?

Let’s suppose you choose a field.  Career planning is not planning for that field on a one-time only basis, but it’s a continuing process; in fact, you can call it a lifetime process.  We are always learning and growing, and as we do, our interests and needs also change. Career planning is not just making plans to obtain your “perfect” job or career, but to help you make the many adjustments there will be along the way as you learn about you and your world or work.

Career planning is estimating, predicting and calculating all the steps necessary to achieving your goals.  In the process, you are always making choices.  When you choose one alternative over another, this is called an opportunity cost.  An opportunity cost is the cost of passing up your next best choice when making a decision.  In career planning, we need to always be mindful of our opportunity costs and take into consideration all that will come our way.  Those who have successful careers understand how the game of work is played.  As you can see career planning is more than just looking at jobs and positions and working hard.

Writing a Cold Call Cover Letter

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee

It is a simple truth that nearly three jobs out of four are never advertised. You will never know about them. If you really want to increase your chances of getting a job, you have to find a way to tap into this employment source. This is where the cold call cover letter comes into play.

However, these are often the most difficult type of letter to write. You have limited information about what kind of jobs the company may have, about its current staffing needs and about their needs. Nevertheless, there are certain things you can do to create a powerful cold call letter.

As with all types of cover letters, you must address this letter to a specific person. Never write to the generic "sir" or "madam". Don't send the letter to a Human Resources Department where it will likely never get read.

Make sure that the letter is tailored to the company. Mass mailings of form letters are rarely effective. Spend your time and energy doing some research on the company. Go to the internet or career center and find out whatever you can about the company. What do they do? What are they proud of? What are their current projects or directions? These questions will help you to craft a great letter.

In the introductory paragraph specify your area of expertise. Don't leave the reader guessing about what you can do or about what kind of job you are looking for. Show the employer that you are interested in working in a specific area in the company.

Communicate clearly the type of work that you want to do within the company. Even though you are not applying for a specific job, you still need to target your cold call letter to a particular type of job. If they like you, and if they don't have a specific job in your area, they may create one or they may offer you another job for which they think you are a good fit. Don't worry about not being considered just because a specific position is not available. After all, the purpose is to impress the company enough to get your foot in the door.

You really need to show the employer why you have a specific interest in working for them. This is where the research you have done really comes into play. Show the employer that you have a particular skill set that meets their current needs and that you can fit in the organization especially in its current direction.

Keep in mind that this letter must be designed to impress. After all, as far as you know, the company has no need to hire. You are asking them to take a look at you and maybe even to find a position for you. By no means should you think that you are asking for a favor.

The cold call cover letter should convince the company that it needs you-that you are the answer to their needs. Your letter needs to create enough interest to get them to call you and schedule an interview.

How to Help Out an Unemployed Friend

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee

Losing a job is the third most stressful life event according to Answers.com. Numbers 5 and 8 are "work" and "commuting". For this survey we see that losing your job is not entirely the worst thing in the world, but it does seem so at the time. In today's economic climate everybody knows someone who has lost their job. Those who haven't may experience survivor's guilt. One way of alleviating this feeling is offering your friend or relative help, but what, specifically, can you do? You can help your unemployed friend with his/her job search and just by being a good friend.

Here are several suggestions:

Help Your Friend with the Job Search

1. Accompany them to the Unemployment Office and anywhere else they may need extra support.
2. Introduce them to your network. Recommend some friends or acquaintances that may be able to help. Talk them up to everyone you know who may be able to aid in their job search.
3. Offer technological assistance. Many people still aren't computer literate or aren't familiar with social or professional networking sites (e.g. Facebook, LinkedIn, Monster.com). Help them update their résumé, and then collaborate with them to think up new and different work options suited to their talents.
4. Give them a pep talk. This too, shall pass and they may come out even better than they went in. Often, when one door closes another one opens and the opportunity would have been missed if you're at work.
5. Suggest checking temporary-agency opportunities and contract work. This is not for everyone, but can definitely help in a pinch.

Help Your Friend on a Personal Note

1. Share a meal. Take them out for lunch or dinner, or have them to your home for a home-cooked meal (but keep it simple, it's not a celebration).
2. Encourage them to take full advantage of their "time off" by dividing their time between the job hunt and things they might not have time to do if they were employed (for example, like catching a movie, taking a walk, or taking nap in the afternoon).
3. Offer a trade. Suggest ways your friend can help you (baby-sitting, doing mid-day, around-the-house projects) in exchange for a gift card they need. Or offer free babysitting so they can get out of the house.
4. Have fun. Invite your friend to accompany you to a sporting event, a movie, or something else you both enjoy; it doesn't have to cost money.

However, the focus doesn't always have to be your friend's employment or job search status. In fact, if you talk about work too much, it could come across as nagging. Unemployed people, especially those involuntarily unemployed, may be embarrassed over their circumstances. They may end up isolating themselves because of this. Make an effort to stay in touch. Give them a call; drop them an e-mail; stay connected.

SUCCESS - What Does it Mean to You?

By Matthew Flinton

Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy       

What is Success?

Being able to do what you want...when you want?

Living a "dream life" with mansions, luxury cars, exotic vacations, high dollar wardrobes...is this success?

Serving others and assisting them in achieving their goals and dreams?

I truly believe success is different for every person. Though I do know success can be achieved by each one of us.

Ralph Waldo Emerson described success...

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded."

My question to you is how are you going to be successful in your own life?

How are you going to leave the world a bit better?

How are you going to succeed in every aspect of your life... in your health... in your relationships... in your finances... in your spiritual growth?

That is the challenge we all face.

So let's look at how we can succeed in those areas.

Health... you must be cognizant of the foods that will improve your health and the foods that will destroy your body. Fruits, vegetables, lean meats, fish, legumes, water, green tea, milk, eggs, honey are foods that need to be the foundation of your diet.

The next area of health is your ability to move your body on a regular basis. Find an activity you will actually do consistently. Walking, weight training, running, playing basketball with your buddies... I don't care what it is... just do it on a regular basis.

Pretty simple... maybe not easy but very simple. Eat healthy foods and move your body!

Finances... identify a problem and create a solution. That is how you will create massive amounts of cash flow. We pay individuals major amounts of money if they can help remedy our problems... so again identify people's problems and give them the solution.

Shift your focus on helping and serving others and the money will appear. Now you must make the decision to be paid richly for your service but once you make that shift in your mind... get ready for the transfer of wealth!

Relationships... "give" what you want from others! If you want people to respect you... respect them first. If you want people to love you... love them first. If you want people to be kind to you... be kind first!

That's it... give... what you want to get!

Spiritual growth... the good Lord has a plan for your life...a divine destiny if you will.

To identify what that is... unplug from your iPod and turn off the television. Ask the Lord what the plan is and listen. When you receive the divine inspiration... act on it!

You must take an active part in achieving your overall success.

Begin today planning for your success and get to it.

Remember to enjoy the journey and God Blesses You!

As part of your promotional campaign you could equip your employees with company branded clothing and name tags, to help reinforce your company identity, and add a professional touch.

It is proven that companies handing out promotional give-aways at an event usually attract more people than those companies that don't.

Printed mugs are one of the most popular promotional gifts due to their day to day use. They are probably one of the most functional gift items, and they also provide an excellent area to have your logo or brand message imprinted on them. Promotional mugs offer a wide reach and great exposure. A company`s printed mugs are very useful items that can help businesses retain their clients by reminding them of who they are and how they are valued. The many types of printed mugs and corporate gifts vary and they can range from bell mugs, Cambridge mugs, marrow mugs with company logos on, to promotional Sparta mug.

Another great promotional product is the promotional umbrella. These are great seasonal gifts that will hold a lot of value to its recipient. An umbrella is a mobile advertising tool. Each and every person, who has been given an umbrella, is a walking advertisement of your company and its product. With your imagination and creativity you can personalise the printed umbrella and design it according to your own choice making use of bright striking colours and an easy-to-remember slogan. Companies may keep promotional umbrellas in limited numbers to use them in special events or campaigns. Patio umbrellas are much larger than standard umbrellas and often come with a stand but can be a bit costly when imprinted. They do offer a huge advertising area though, which can be printed.

Promotional mouse mats are also a fantastic promotional item, due to their usability and print area. The average person spends around nine hours a day in front of their computers. On promotional mouse mats, you can have your company details, your favourite photo, your own design, or even a company logo. Each and every business is driven by technology and uses a computer, making this product an excellent choice. With the help of promotional printed mouse mats your company name will be displayed on the desks for a long time to come.

USB Flash Drives are also a great choice to use as promotional products. Some flash drives are manufactured to handle extreme conditions. The chips used inside these drives are usually military grade meaning that they can handle extreme temperatures and vibration. If you are the athletic type, a runner or jogger, who likes to listen to their tunes during your workout you want to look into a flash drive player. They are very resilient, so you no longer have to worry about dropping it, or storing it near a magnet. You can literally store tens of thousands of documents and files on a single tiny flash storage drive.

These are just a few of the promotional products and business gifts that available to promote your company and its services. It's important that you choose the right products for your company to ensure that you are targeting the right audience. Promotional products can work very well and can increase your businesses visibility within your particular industry.

Career Change For Teachers - Ways To Choose Better Options

By Abhishek Agarwal


Job Vacancy Indonesia, Employee, Vacancy  

A Career change for teachers can lead to plenty of soul searching about the options available for employment and the skills required for securing a new job. There can be several reasons for a teacher to want to change career after a few years in teaching. For some it may be stress due to teaching in person; for others it could be because of sheer boredom. While for most teachers job satisfaction is high and they enjoy their interaction with the students, in some cases the environment at the school itself may change, leading to stress and a subsequent desire for career change among teachers. In other cases, they may want to explore options in the outside world and find out if something will be more rewarding according to their temperament and ability.

Most often, a lateral move is possible, if seeking a career change for teachers. Instead of teaching in person, they can shift to teaching the people that are pursuing distance education, to writing of books or in development of curricula. If seeking a change due to environmental reasons, the options include giving private tuition. If the teacher wants a change from personal interaction, then syllabus and course development could provide the desired career change.

However, if the teacher wants to leave the profession of teaching completely, then the person has to consider the transferable skills and seek out job options in other fields. A teacher will inevitably have excellent communication skills, ability to conduct research, administration ability and interpersonal skills. All these are useful in several fields. If at all the teacher needs new skills to find a new job, there are several courses available for skill development.

Career change for teachers can be facilitated because of their interaction skills. Instead of working with young students, they may choose to work with elderly people or in a job that requires interface with the public, such as in a call centre. Woodwork, art, horticulture, and writing are other fields that utilise the mental capability of the teachers and provide avenues for creativity. Career change for teachers is relatively easy with some retraining, as they have a number of skills that are used to develop young minds and can be used in other jobs with equal ease.

Skills in communication and teaching can also be used to move to a career of a trainer, to train new recruits at their organisation. Thus, while doing away with the stress part of teaching, they can still effectively use the skills that are necessary to teach successfully. The years of experience stands them in a good stead and need not be wasted at all. A qualified teacher can be employed easily. With just a little training, career change for teachers can open several new options for them.

Renewable Energy Jobs - Why the Need?

Over the last few years, we are hearing many terms like "Renewable Energy Jobs - Waste Management Jobs" etc appearing on the scene, but when someone says "I work in the renewable energy sector", what exactly does this mean?

Put simply, renewable energy is energy that is generated from natural resources, resources like, rain, tides, sunlight, wind, solar etc. Or to put it another way, it is energy that can be replenished at the same rate that it is used. So somebody that works within the renewable energy field is basically working within one (or more) of these sectors.

Why the need for Renewable Energy Jobs?

It does seem like a bit of a fad and that everybody is jumping on the bandwagon, bandying around all this new terminology but the thing is that there is a more serious side to all of this.

Over the past few hundred years and up to today, we have been powering our lives using fuels such as coal, oil, gas, electricity and these we would class as 'dirty fuels' due to the pollution they create within the environment. Yes, even electricity as in the United States alone in 2009, 44.9% of electricity was generated by coal, 23.4% by natural gas, 20.3% nuclear fission, 1% petroleum and the remaining %'s in renewable energy.

As we keep hearing almost daily, we are slowly using up the energy resources within the planet and at the same time, we are warming up the environment and causing damage to the planet. This is where Renewable Energy comes in.

Today, we notice that more and solar farms are appearing and also wind turbines as we try to find ways of meeting mans needs for energy and also cleaning up the atmosphere with new cleaner fuels.

With the above in mind, one can see the answer to the question, Why the need for renewable energy jobs? Basically, they are needed so that we can keep living as we do, be it watching television, visiting family/friends via transport, working with any electrical devices, and, even going to the gym and using some of the Cardio Vascular machines that require power, but, doing it with clean energy and also energy that does not cost us the earth.

In their simplest form, renewable energy is:

- Solar Energy
- Wind Energy
- Geothermal Energy
- Bioenergy
- Hydropower

How does one get to work within these fields and what is required?

Most people that work within these fields are University Graduates that have spent years studying a specific area, or, some are people that have been in the industry for many years and just evolved along with the jobs and fallen into it.

If you would like to find out more, or are considering working within one of these areas, it is strongly recommended that you research your field and then contact your local careers centre to gain an understanding of what training you will require.

If you are already fully trained within your chosen field, then obviously your next step will be to find work, either within your country or work abroad.

Last week was the inaugural call of the Jobseeker Mastermind Series, and I've gotta say, it went really well.
The topic was cover letters, but as any of you who have worked with me know, I don't do anything without referring it back to the job description. That's where the rubber meets the road-that's where the hiring manager/company puts out there what they want, and you must demonstrate that you were sent from the heavens as the perfect candidate to meet their needs.
One client on the call is an attorney, the other an actuary, so of course the jobs they were applying for were very different. But the strategy to decoding a job description is the same.
The clues as to who the company is looking for are scattered throughout the job description. When I wrote these as a hiring manager, I really tried to capture the essence of my perfect candidate in a concise posting.
One example, a job description we looked at mentioned "fast paced" twice, "multi-tasking at a very high level" and "Training will be provided, however, a knowledge of contracts and a keen business acumen is required." In a 99-word job description (about 7 lines in MS Word)-that seems kind of intense. So they really want someone who is independent and picks things up very quickly. So what other qualities would a person like that demonstrate? How would they sound on the phone? What kinds of experiences would you expect to read on their resume or in their cover letter? What would they have done that proves that they meet those qualifications?
Of course keep in mind that the basic qualifications were for a legal associate with a minimum of 2-3 years of experience, and proficient in MS Word and Excel. Which many candidates meet. It's the intangible, the personal qualities that are also mentioned in the description that are actually more important to the employer. Many candidates will meet the 2-3 years of experience part, but what's going to separate all the candidates who apply from those they call in for interviews are those intangible qualities, those personal characteristics that demonstrate that they'll be a fit with the company.
And that's what you discuss in a cover letter. Talk about how you learned a new software in under 2 weeks. Include examples about how your workload was above average for your position, talk about how you're always commended for juggling multiple responsibilities. Talk about how you recommended changes to contracts that were strategic improvements to help their business.
And you'll get a call.
