Follow-Up Techniques

Doug Hindman — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 06:21:49 +0000

In marketing, often it is not the initial sales presentation but the follow-up call that secures the sale. Likewise, you must always follow-up with potential employers to get a head of your competition to win the job offer. Use these follow-up and telephone techniques to separate yourself from the competition and increase your odds!

The Job Market Throughout the Year

Doug Hindman — Sun, 05 Sep 2010 20:59:43 +0000

No matter what condition the economy is in, there are certain times of the year when hiring increases and times when hiring decreases. In fact, there are 2 “spikes” and 2 “dips” during the year … and the spikes always follow the dips. This short video will show you when the job market is up and when it is down so you can better strategize your job search efforts.

Remember the old saying, “Timing is everything!”

Questions You Should Ask

Doug Hindman — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 17:55:48 +0000

An interview is a two way street … it is just as important to ask the right questions to the interviewer as it is to correctly answer the interviewer’s questions.

The following are questions you should ask during the interview:

1 Why is the job open?

2. Who held the position before and what happened?

3. What capabilities would the ideal candidate for this position possess? (Be sure to describe your strengths in the capabilities they seek during the course of the interview)

4. What are the current problems and future anticipated ones?

5. What are the company’s long term objectives?

6. What are the biggest negatives about this position?

7. What are the main problem areas that need attention?

8. Where would I fit in the organizational structure/chart of the company?

9. What are the capabilities of the team I will be working with?

And towards the end of the interview…

10. What are the next steps in the hiring process for this position?
