| CAREER SUCCESS GUIDE July 2008 | | Dear Jsidufh, Most Important Job Interview Tip You've probably read numerous job interview tips which list the ways to respond to the difficult interview questions: - Tell me about Yourself?
- What are your work-related weaknesses?
- Why are you leaving your current employer?
These are the usual dreaded questions that we all expect to hear from interviewers. Typically, interviewees are advised to create well-prepared and rehearsed scripts to respond to these dreaded questions. And so, during the course of the interview, interviewees sit on the edge of their seats waiting to respond, trying to remember the correct answers. And consequently, the interview becomes a race, a highly tense setting designed to stay one step ahead of the other with scripted conversation and pre-planned positioning and second-guessing. When the interview proceeds in this manner, your ability to appropriately figure out how you will fit at the company is minimized.
Ideally, the interviewer and the interviewee should be able to share enough information so effective decisions can be made. To ensure an appropriate hire is made, the interviewer needs to ensure that the questions will lead to answers about the specific results you've achieved. At a minimum, the interviewer is looking for information regarding how you've handled, the specific steps undertaken to achieve results, and the direct results accomplished. As an interviewee, you have to be able to deliver this information....no matter the question. Additionally, as an interviewee, the only way you'll be able to respond with full confidence (without referring to a script) is by ensuring that you've done your homework. To confidently manage the interview, it's important to know where you're heading - - to know your vision. Everything else should flow directly from your career or personal vision. In this way, you will be able to hit the answers to those dreaded questions without feeling nervous because the interview is not the most important tactic - - it's just one step within your strategy. It's your well-crafted vision that's essential, not a well-prepared and rehearsed script based on someone else's words. Authentic interviews happen when you're able to effectively convey your vision, your passion, and your success stories.

You make some changes to your resume, you contact a couple of people in your network (friends, recruiters, associates, etc.), you check out the internet job boards, and you begin to circulate your resume. And then you wait.... and wait....  It's also likely that you're still attempting to hold onto a position that no longer fits your interests or qualifications. Still working a full work week and finding that you have minimal time to effectively search for a new job. Everyone's saying that you need to devote full-time hours to find a new job.
