My friend Holly is in the job market, and had an interview yesterday. Last night she gave me the post-mortem on the interview, and I have another real-life example of h... |

Five Ways to Sink the Interview Ship by Mandy Marchitello - May, 2010 If you’re about to set sail on your cruise to employment, be sure to avoid these (5) areas of rough water: 1. HOW MUCH DOES THE POSITION PAY? – The job interview is not about how your needs can be met. Its about what you can do for the prospective company.

Your American Idol “Moment” In Your Job Interview! by Harry Urschel - May, 2010 My family and I have been ‘American Idol’ fans the last couple of years, watching the contestants try to give their best performances week after week. It’s been fun to watch, but enlightening as well to see the work and effort they have to put in to try to become the winner. Often, the judges will talk about the importance of having a “moment”. They are referring to having a performance that rises above the others by connec... |

Unforgettable Hires – Tattletales From The Principal by Amanda Guralski - May, 2010 Stories too unbelievable to be true, too entertaining to miss! “You don’t know what you got until you got it!” I want you to imagine a feminine (and pretty) version of Marlon Brando playing the Godfather. She was a Maltese nun who wore black kneesocks under the long skirt of her habit and she hired me to teach English at a Catholic high school in 1976—after I insisted on having her interview me.

I Got A Contact Name...How Do I Reach Them? by Harry Urschel - May, 2010 People often tell me they were on LinkedIn, or went to a networking group, or met someone when they were out-and-about and got a name of a potential contact for their job search, but don’t know how to reach them. “What good is the name without their phone number or email address?
