Having spent 8 years recruiting for global US corporations, I’ve learned the importance of having a well-structured resume & being able to interview in a way that makes you stand out from other candidates. Most people could get many more interviews and more job offers if they’ve only learned some tips and strategies I’ve learned in my recruitment role. I love passing on my knowledge to others and helping them get the jobs and salaries they desire.
Additionally, as a Sr. Recruiter, I’ve worked closely with HR departments and senior management, and was often privy to confidential discussions about why people get promoted and why they do not. I've discovered that working hard and having the right skills are not enough to get that promotion or job you're looking for. I've seen too many smart, hard working professionals be unhappy with their careers because they don't know how to promote themselves. Helping professionals discover and communicate their unique value, and engage in effective self-promotion are the keys to getting ahead and the driving force behind what I do.
A few days ago I posted a video with advice on how to prepare for a performance review – if you’ve missed it, you can watch it here: http://www.interview-coach.co.uk/how-to-prepare-for-your-annual-performance-review/ Here’s another video with 9 questions to ask your Manager during a performance review. 1. “What do you think went well this year?” Some managers are [...]
Many employees think of the performance review as a time to passively receive their boss’s opinion of their worth. If that’s your view, you may be missing a valuable opportunity. Instead, look at the performance appraisal as a chance for an in-depth discussion about your work and career. Capitalizing on this opportunity requires advance planning, [...]
If you’ve been doing your homework about how to write an effective CV/resume (or if you’ve had a coaching session with me!:-), you’ll be aware that you have to quantify your experience. Although most people understand the general idea of this, I find that job seekers often struggle with applying this idea to writing their [...]
For this week’s post, I’ve recorded a short video where I talk about the biggest mistakes people make with work relationships. This will be relevant to you especially if you are a leader or want to transition to a leadership position. Watch the video below to hear about 5 common mistakes people make when building [...]
Assertive communication is defined as clear, direct, honest statement of feelings; use of “l” messages; speaking up appropriately for oneself while considering the needs, wants, and rights of others. One of the most effective ways to communicate confidence is to use assertive communication but a lot of people (but women in particular in my experience) [...]
Whether you consciously aware of it or not, on some level you are continually leading yourself and others – you don’t necessarily have to have a large team reporting to you to be considered a leader. In one leadership study, qualities such as assertiveness, adaptability, intelligence and conscientiousness were cited as the most important. Research [...]
A successful job search still always start with a successful resume. When you know that your are the right fit for the job, make sure that your executive resume living up to the expectations of your target companies. Always keep in mind that your professional resume is a career marketing document that should tell an [...]
There are less than two months left in 2012, and I want to ask you: Are the goals you set at the beginning of the year on track for success? Have you given up on them after a week or two? Have you resigned and told yourself it’s not worth the effort and the life you’ve [...]
Many professionals – whether they work for an employer or for themselves – are finding that there are too many projects to do and not enough time to complete them all. Feeling the time crunch and not accomplishing everything that you want to leads to working longer hours, working weekends, and skipping lunch breaks. This [...]
Informational interviews, in which you gather information about a contact’s job and industry, are vitally important to learning about new careers and opportunities. Plus, it’s precisely when jobs aren’t available that people are willing to meet with motivated job seekers as a way to develop a strong talent pool for the future. An informational interview [...]
