What are your weaknesses? Let me start by saying your greatest weakness is your greatest weakness. It’s not your greatest strength taken to extreme and portray as a weakness. Confusing? I have come across way too many HR professionals recommending that you should just take your greatest strength, take it to extreme, and then say that it’s your weakness. Like; my greatest weakness is that - I work too hard - I am a perfectionist - I don’t delegate as much as I should - I am a people-pleaser - I am very critical of my own work Please… Stop! Seriously, what are you trying to do?  If you said one of the above, then I would immediately label you as a bullshitter. Do you know what else I would feel? I would feel that you will continue to BS me in every opportunity you get if I hire you. There is simply no reason for me to hire a team member, especially a subordinate whom will try to bs her way through tough times. Of all the qualities you have, think about it; your hard skills, mot...

In this post,we're going to talk about career goals interview question ans answers. Now that question can take different forms. Usually,just as what are your goals it might be that what is your five-year goal or three-year goal what have you. Regardless of how the question is asked.I think your answer needs to fit within a certain box if you will and that is to convey to the employer. First of all that you'll look to come in and do a good job right off the bat but that over time based on your accomplishments and your proven skills that you would hope to be considered for future positions not based on seniority but based on productivity and then I would turn it around at the end and ask them the employer that is what they saw perhaps as some of the longer-term opportunities for somebody who comes in and does a good job here so let's put that into practice question is again mid-career person they're saying what are your five-year goals or what do you what are your ...

In this article,I'm going to talk about a topic that I've been asked about constantly and that topic is all about phone interviews. So here are four key items that hiring managers,recruiters and HR professionals are looking for in that initial phone screen interview that you need to keep in mind and that you can work on. The first item that interviewers are looking for in a phone screen is your energy and confidence. The thing about phone interviews is that they can't see your face. They can't read your facial expressions. They don't really have an in-person connection with you and so what you have to understand is that the way that you come across over the phone is really important and it comes down to the tone of your voice,the energy in that voice and really how you're answering your questions. So when I say energy and confidence I don't mean try to sound overly happy or excited. What I actually mean is that you should try to come across as pleasan...
