Powerful ways to research companies
Powerful ways to research companies
How important is researching a company you want to work for? Some say pretty important. We think it's absolutely vital.
I have a friend who spends hours each day researching companies on
the internet to find "winners" to add to his share portfolio. He looks
at everything: cash to debt ratios, new product developments, press
releases, shareholder information, etc. He probably knows more about
these companies than most of the employees -� or potentia... Continue reading ...
Restating your skills and experience in the employer's language
Restating your skills and experience in the employer's language
Here's a note I received from one of our clients: "I
need help! I am getting a lot of calls, a lot of interviews, but no job
offers. I have been a customer service representative for about twenty
years and I am very good at calming irate customers. Can you think of
some way to incorporate this skill into my resume? I am being laid off
at the end of the week and need to find something quickly. Thank you
for your help."

Applying for Government jobs
Applying for Government jobs
Let's just get this out of the way now - I'm not a fan of the public service.
You see, in my book Job Secrets Revealed I try to teach that there are no rules
when you're applying for jobs. This isn't true in the public service.
They have a rule for everything, including how to apply, what to say
and how to say it.
The public service isn't noted for its customer service or expense
reduction abilities, so if you want to work for them then you are in
for a ba... Continue reading ...

People don't quit jobs, they quit managers
Steven
was an incredible account executive (he worked in sales). He was very
effective at getting new business and as a result he built new accounts
worth tens of millions of dollars each year. He was happy and his
company loved him.
Then a new manager took over Steven's department. He shuffled things
around and decided that each salesperson should be assigned a number of
client's to work with. That's when things started going downhill for

Going off the rails in interviews?
Going off the rails in interviews?
Every day almost, we get an email that goes like this:
I've been through a couple of long interviews (several
interviews with the same company). But at the end, when is down to 2 o
3 candidates, I never get the job. Do you know a method to identify
what is it I�m doing wrong?
In our experience, the best way to find out what is going wrong is
to phone whoever interviewed you and just ask them. Tell them that it's
completely off the record and you ju... Continue reading ...
How to negotiate 10-50% more money in an interview
How to negotiate 10-50% more money in an interview
Money! That's what this is all about.
Unfortunately business owners don't hire you simply to give you
their money. The surest way to not get a job is to ring up and ask how
much it is paying. The second best way to miss out on the job is to ask
how much you will be paid in the first interview.
Either wait for the final interview or until you have received a job
offer. Besides, your research of the industry should already give you
an i... Continue reading ...

the optimum length in which to accomplis... | Continue reading ...
