Cynopsis: Classified

 

Advantage

12.13.11

Good morning. It’s Tuesday, December 13, 2011, and this is your weekly issue of Cynopsis: Classified Advantage!

Questions to ask during an Interview:

You have two advantages going into an interview. One, you get to sell yourself, the other is you get to direct the interview by asking intelligent questions.

As mentioned in this column many times before, bring a pad and pen, and write down your questions in advance.  This way, if you get nervous, you can refer to your notes.

Questions should be based on a well rounded knowledge of the company and the industry.  Never ask questions about vacations, sick days or paid holidays, at least not yet.

The questions you ask can set yourself apart from other candidates, so consider them carefully.

Here are some generic questions you can ask, but if possible, tailor them for the company you’re applying to.

What are the most important aspects of this job?

What skills must a person have to be successful in this position?

What were the strengths and weaknesses of other people who have had this job?

Where do you see this company, in comparison to its competitors, in five years?

Do you see a fundamental shift within the industry coming in the next few years?

Do you plan to compete with other companies with new services, products, strategy or all three?

Have other people who have done well at this level been promoted?

How do you rate your company compared to others within the industry?

What are the most immediate challenges for the person hired for this position?

What are the performance expectations for this position after a year?

What are the steps involved in your interviewing process?

This is not a comprehensive list, there are many more questions you could ask but be careful, let the interviewer ask some questions too.

We are always on the look out for more Experts to advise our readers – if you’re a headhunter, job coach, career advisor, etc., and may be interested in contributing to this edition from time to time, please contact me at [email protected] .

When was the last time you looked at a challenging situation and saw the glass half full? If you can’t remember, or just seeing this expression makes you annoyed or frustrated, then you need to keep reading.  The glass half full is about having a positive attitude. A positive attitude is a feeling you have, a disposition, or a state of mind. It is how you view life and situations as well as the actions you express toward them. Attitude makes or breaks careers.  The newest information available says that employers aren’t just hiring for skills  they expect you to have the required skills for the job  they are hiring based on attitude.  If you are currently in a job  the same holds true- attitude is rising on the list of important attributes for success.

The current thinking is that you will have a better outcome, even when the odds are stacked against you, when you have a positive  glass half full attitude. When your thinking is positive and optimistic, your communication will reflect those thoughts.  Don’t allow negative thinking to adversely impact you or others.

For example, if you’re hunting for a job and feel negative as time passes, you become mired in those thoughts and you begin to drag through your days and see fewer possibilities.  When you get a job interview, your negativity can be perceived by others and your chances for landing the job plummets. Well trained interviewers will observe every part of your demeanor, from the way you speak, to every facet of your body language.  If your attitude is poor, it will be revealed even if you don’t intend for it to show.

When you work on having more positive thoughts your brain becomes more resilient in the face of challenges and you see more opportunities.  Great sales people seem to think this way  they find the silver lining in every situation.

So here are a few tips to help you achieve and maintain a positive attitude:

• Realize that you are in control of your attitude  and become more aware of it.
• Reframe failures and setbacks to see the learning experience.
• Avoid negative people (and negative media) that drag you down.
• Use a positive vocabulary and stop complaining!

There is nothing in your career, or in your life, that will make a bigger difference than having a positive   attitude.  By maintaining a positive attitude, success will literally fall in your lap… or at least it will help you land that new job or keep the current one you have.

My boss offered me a “better” job title in lieu of more money. How can I swing it back to money, since most job titles are inflated anyway?

It’s important to be open and honest with your boss.  Express appreciation for the recognition of a new title but explain that at this point an increase in wages is more important to you.

Gain an understanding of how the new title recognizes your contributions and be able to identify what additional value you bring that justifies additional money.  

If additional money is simply not an option at this time, I would suggest keeping the title and setting a date for a performance review with a merit increase based on performance.

Experts say that one should always be looking for a better job, even when you are employed. How much effort should I really put into this and what should I do if my boss finds out?

When it comes to your career it is important to have a plan.  Where do you want to go in five years? 10?

How are you going to get there?  The idea of looking for a better job is to be aware of your plan and work your plan.  You should always be developing new skills and knowledge to prepare you for the next position.  A better or different job can be right within the company you currently work for.  

Only you know how much effort to put forth to follow your plan but part of your strategy should be to not jeopardize your current position if you are filling satisfied and fulfilled.

One of the best ways to look for a job while working full time is to do strategic networking.  That should involve finding out about other opportunities, companies, and industries with people you trust.
