1.A well-organized interview is conducted with a sequence in mind. The sequence below is suggested plan for an interview which covers the most essential points.

Education is an important factor in hiring employees. An applicant’s course of study, his or her likes and dislikes, and participation in extracurricular activities all are informative. The level of intelligence, quality of work, and absenteeism are points to consider in school and employment records.

2. Begin with the first job, discover whether it was full- or part- time, volunteer or paid, and progress step by step through the applicant’s work history. The number of jobs the applicant has had reflects upon his or her stability and job satisfaction.

4. When you want the applicant to reveal his or her feelings and ideas, use exploratory or open- ended questions. Ask questions that must be with explanations: what the applicant enjoys most about work, what would he or she change about the last job if such change were possible, etc. Don’t hesitate to ask personal questions, such as why the applicant wants the job you have to offer, and why the person left the last job. Interpreting the applicant’s answers, attitudes, and reactions is very important.

A. Outside activity

B. Work history

1. Resumes, business cards, and references all must be in impeccable condition before communication with the outside world. Remember, this is your marketing material and it should be ready for prime time. If necessary, use a professional to get your collateral material in order.

2. People would rather talk to someone who is upbeat no matter how their job skills stack up.

3. Communication, Computers and Critical thinking. Success in the new millennium requires that new hires have the ability to negotiate through any situation. Employers want to know you can think on your feet. Everyone understands the new technology is making everything move very fast. So if you can demonstrate the ability to negotiate through situations and learn new computer skills, you will get the job.

4. A good marketing professional would never give a presentation unprepared. Ask a friend to engage you in conversation as if you are in a networking situation. Answer the seven or eight potential questions such as, “What are skills, strengths and weaknesses?” and “Do you have any experience in___?” You’ll be surprised to learn that some of your answers may need brushing up. If you need help deciding how to present yourself verbally, seek the assistance of a professional careers counselor.

5. Negative advertising often hits the wrong buttons. This is just true in marketing yourself. While networking, don’t dwell on negativity. If you are fired from your last job, don’t blame your previous employer. And if you have some negative feelings about the industry you are targeting, keep them to yourself.

6. Many cities host industry events on any given day or evening featuring CEOs and experts who hold forth on a myriad of topics.

7. Any good marketing executive understands the importance of competitive analysis. If you’re identified a firm seems right for you, find out something about the qualifications of recent hires. You’ll learn a lot about the “products” vying for your space in the company.

8. The “truth in advertising” rule applies to you and your background as much as it does to pharmaceuticals or fat-free snack food. Of course, that doesn’t mean you can’t shine a positive light on your skills and accomplishments. That’s only good marketing.

9. The old adage about being yourself holds true in career hunting. Examine your best qualities and package those attributes for today’s marketplace.
