The Ten Commandments For Job Interviews
Whereby Your Chances of Finding a Job Are Vastly Increased
- Go after small organizations with twenty or fewer employees, since they create 2/3 of all new jobs.
- Hunt for interviews using the aid of friends and acquaintances, because a job-hunt requires eighty pairs of eyes and ears.
- Do thorough homework on an organization before going there, using Informational Interviews plus the library.
- At any organization, identify who has the power to hire you there, for the position you want, and use your friends and acquaintances' contacts, to get in to see that person.
- Ask for just 20 minutes of their time, when asking for the appointment; and keep to your word.
- Go to the interview with your own agenda, your own questions and curiosities about whether or not this job fits you.
- Talk about yourself only if what you say offers some benefit to that organization, and their 'problems.'
- When answering a question of theirs, talk only between 20 seconds and 2 minutes, at any one time.
- Basically approach them as if you were a resource person, able to produce better work for that organization than any predecessor.
- Always write a thank-you note the same evening of the interview, and mail it at the latest by the next morning.
