This week’s roundup focuses on interview help and also includes help to create greater online visibility for you. Twitter is a super tool for job seekers and so is having an online portfolio/personal website.
You may think you’re a natural interviewer but if you aren’t getting offers, then think again.
In a conversation with a job seeker this week, he told me he’d had over 5 first interviews but was never invited back for a second. I told him it must be something he is saying or doing during the interview but he firmly believed that this was NOT the case. He said he was good at interviewing.
It’s been my experience (from a coaching and interviewer perspective) that most people are not naturally good at interviewing. Everyone can use more help.
