It’s a cardinal sin to go into a job interview without planning and preparing to manage the opportunity for maximum impact.

1. Personal impression you make: neatness in dress and manner; self-confidence; and maturity.
2. Preparation for the interview: knowledge about the business of the potential employer; list of questions to ask the interviewer.
3. Communication skills: written and oral.
4. Attitude: enthusiasm, sincerity and interest in the opportunity.

6. Personal chemistry: suitability and “fit” with the culture of the organization.

Do You Impress Potential Employers?
Do you impress potential employers? No one will hire you to just give you a chance. It doesn’t matter if you are hard-working and dedicated, unless you own the skills and applied knowledge needed for the employers’ positions. A lasting impression is sustainable if there is a pattern of project completion and/or successful business accomplishments.
Employers want the job done in spite of obstacles, personality conflicts, or bad hair days. The blog, America’s Job Exchange’s article, “What Do Employers Want?” stated, “A good employee gets the job done. A great employee gets the job done in spite of everything – including shifting priorities and schedules.”
What does it take for a job seeker to impress? Besides having a great resume, cover letter, and impressive portfolio, here are some other important attributes:
Webinar: Look Before You Leap A 2-Part Webinar Series For Professionals With One Foot On The Off Ramp
Part I of the webinar: “Motherhood Guilt or Job Dissatisfaction?” will…
• help you decide if your thoughts about leaving the workforce are your own, or are influenced by others.
• include a provocative discussion exploring whether motherhood “guilt” is well-founded orwhether you have unrealistic expectations for balancing work and life..
• help you evaluate more deeply why you work and how you would replace your work drivers at home. And,
• give you a clear framework for deciding if it is perception or reality for you, that the grass is indeed greener on the other side.
For many women, a large factor in the “stay or go” decision is whether an alternative work structure is even possible. Part II of the webinar will help you “Exhaust Your Flexible Work Options.” Too many women assume flexibility is not an option or leave after one casual “ask.” This webinar discussion will help you determine if your job is a candidate for full or partial telecommuting, and how to make a professional case for flexibility. Looking beyond your current job, you’ll also learn where to look for other, more flexible opportunities and if an entrepreneurial venture would fit your work and broader life styles.
