Think of yourself as the product. Why should the customer buy? Answers that WON’T WORK - “Because I need a job.” – This answer is about YOU – “they” want to know what you can do for “them.” “I am a hard worker.” – This is a really trite answer – almost anyone can say he or she is a hard worker. “I saw your ad and could do the job. – This answers lacks passion and purpose.

A “Survival Job” In The Job Interview

If you find yourself “under-employed” in a position that you are over-qualified for now or in your past, one of the questions you may be asked is how that situation came about. “Why are you working as a clerk when you are applying for a management position?” The worst possible scenario is to not have any explanation or answer to the inquiry. Thinking of your situation and how you feel about being in a lesser job is important to prepare before the interview.

Thank You For The Job Interview - Are You Sending a Follow Up Letter?

You might want to think twice before you decide NOT to send a follow-up, thank you letter. The follow-up, thank you letter can be more than a nice "thank you for the interview." It could be what makes the difference between you or another candidate being selected. Think of this letter as one more opportunity for you to put yourself in front of the interviewer and to remind him or her of what you have to offer - and why they should choose you as the best candidate for the job.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Carole Martin

I have encountered many of life's "speed bumps" and lived enough life to know that sometimes you have to work hard just to keep on going.
