How to impress an interviewer and land that job Posted: 13 Jul 2011 01:28 PM PDT Candidates’ experience and credentials, as detailed in the resume, are most often the frequently used criteria for determining which job applicants are deserving of a personal interview. Ultimately, though, the hiring decision is going to be heavily based upon the candidates’ performance in the interview and their value to the organization. To impress an interviewer, you have to be able to distinguish yourself from other candidates and be prepared to ‘sell’ your qualifications to the interviewer. How can you do this? Present a polished professional image Remember that professional companies are looking to hire professional individuals, not the beach bum who just shook the loose sand from his hair.? Dress conservatively in a well-fitting suit and keep jewelry, makeup, and fragrances to a minimum. It’s also important to always take a shower, brush your teeth, and comb your hair before an interview as well to present to clean, polished image. Read More>>>

Answers in an interview – The Mini-skirt style. Posted: 13 Jul 2011 01:27 PM PDT Nobody will ever tell you this and this may probably be the first time you will hear this kind of expert analysis and angle of thought. Have you ever thought how long should an interview answer be? You know the people interviewing you are human beings with feelings just like you. The first thing you should do before answering a question is to put yourself in the interviewers shoes and think about what he will have wanted to hear. When you are in a group of students or job seekers, just try a prank interview or a dummy panel. Interview one of you and listen to the way he answers questions. Be very frank and tell him how interesting or boring they were when responding to them. The longer the responses the more boring it is but don't be certain about this though because some questions may require long answers like those that may require technical expertise. Read More>>>

My Coworker Coughs All Day Long! Posted: 13 Jul 2011 10:59 AM PDT Some of the emails you write to us through careerpointkenya at gmail dot com are fascinating. Here is one i got last evening. I've been looking for advice for handling (or even WHETHER to handle) the issue of a co-worker with a chronic cough. Over the years I've worked with several people with bad coughs. I've always accepted it as just part of the working world. I've never spoken to HR about it because I don't know if that would make any sense and/or would backfire in some way. Anyway, I now sit near a lady who coughs constantly. The cough is a deep, loud bark and it never stops. She only pauses for a minute or so before resuming. Changes in weather or season only means it goes from bad to worse and then back to bad. I have never spoken to her about it. I can't speculate as to why she is coughing or whether she is doing whatever she can to control it. The problem is obvious. To complain about a cough, whether to the cougher or to HR, seems cruel and unfair. On the other hand, the noise is affecting me and the other people who sit in my area, which is to say: it's driving us nuts. I wear headphones and listen to white noise as loud as possible but that does not block out the cough. I can't wear the headphones all the time anyway. I should also mention that we cannot move our desks for various technical reasons. I tried searching the web for advice on this particular issue and came up with very little. It may be one of those untouchable issues. Can I get your take on it? Have you had such a similar experience? Comments below.
