You must make a connection

No matter how sought after the job is that you are interviewing for you will have a lot of competition. So you have to make sure to make a great impression in your interview and you must stand out from the the crowd.


To give yourself an edge that will help you stand out in your interviewer’s mind, make a personal connection with them in the interview. A personal connection can be in various forms. If you are in the interviewer’s office and they have a picture of a skier on their wall (and you happen to love to ski), make an appropriate comment that identifies that. This may not put you above others more qualified than you but it will help you to stand out amongst those that you are equally qualified with. Listen for cues from the interviewer, if they seem uncomfortable with relaying any personal information or are not comfortable moving off a particular subject then follow their lead. If a personal conversation does develop, let the interviewer lead the way. When they bring it to a close and either get back to the questions or say good bye, leave it there.

At the end of the day, the interviewer wants to hire people that are qualified and who will fit in to the culture of the company. If you can make a connection, appear to fit in and have the right skills you will have the advantage over your competition. You will also help the interviewer recall who you are and stick out in their mind in a positive way. Granted we all need that extra assistance now a days to land a job.

Do You Want The Job?

Then Don't Be Late
 
This may seem obvious to some, but it happens way too often. I have also been know to show up late for an interview one or more times myself.  If you are reading this and I was late to your interview, I apologize : )

But contrary to what some believe there is no excuse for it (Besides an injury or family emergency and then bravo for you showing up at all). Getting lost, traffic jams, or losing track of time doesn’t matter to anyone but you. They are taking time away from their jobs (which they already have and you don't) to sit down with you to possibly give you a job. It is rude and disrespectful to show up late for most things but being late for an interview is way overboard.

Here are a few tips to help you be on time:

• Do a dry run on how to get there before the interview. If you are going to a city or a part of the city you are not familiar with drive there a few days before. The ideal time to do it would be about the same or similar time to your interview time to gauge the amount of time it takes to get there.

• If you are driving take enough money to pay for parking nearby. Don’t spend time circling the block looking for a cheap place to park on the street. In addition to that trying to find a space can cause unnecessary stress on yourself that you don't need.

• Leave for the interview early. Not just 15 minutes early, you can plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before your interview is scheduled. Don’t go into the office however. Go near by and find a coffee shop. Relax and reading the paper or review your resume. Not only will this ensure that you are on time but it will also give you time to wind down a bit before going into the interview.

If you do all of this and you are still running late (but please try hard not to), make sure you call. This way if the interviewer does not have time to complete the interview you will save both of you some time if you let them know a head of time. This will also give you an opportunity to use your charm (because you have to be a charmer if they are still talking to your late a--, LOL) and book another appointment right away. And if you are lucky enough to get a second chance, make sure you get there early.

Not The Same Ole Tips

So you have posted your info to every job board and searched the job monster, tried to build a career, and looked at not so hot jobs. You have done the follow-up with a call and networked until you just can't smile or shake another hand. Well here are some unique tricks to try to land that new job.

Locate a few companies that you are interested in working for. Then write a letter to your contacts asking them if they know anyone who works at any of the companies on your list. When a contact says yes, send them your resume and ask them to forward it that person or ask permission to send it yourself.

Call the human resources department. Sounds crazy, right? Hold on and keep taking notes. When you call ask them what outside agency or recruiting firm they use. They will ask you why do you want to know. Tell them that their company is not currently looking for anyone with your skills right now and the agency may be dealing with another company who may be, so you are looking for a recommendation. Being recommended gives you special attention. In addition you may get an interview out of it. Be sure to send them a thank you note.

Write a book pertaining to your industry and give it away. Everyone loves to get free information. This book will also demonstrates your expertise. Give the booklet away electronically and advertise it in places where hiring managers will see it. Create a list of 20 companies you want to work for and send an email to everyone you know to see if they know anyone who works at these companies. Ask them to contact you if they do, so that you can ask for a referral. Finally, ask them to forward your email to 10 more people. However don’t do this if you’re currently employed!

These are guerrilla tactics that will help give you better results with your job search.
