Before interview

-> Get some sleep - grab some shut-eye before your big day
-> Have a friend ask you some standard interview questions
-> Talk to yourself in front of the mirror so you can check out your body language and facial expressions
-> Record yourself answering questions, so you can hear the pacing of your answers and impact of your overall presentation

Stay Cool & Can't please everyone

Everybody gets angry sometimes, but it's important to control your feelings at work.
Getting angry may frighten people into giving you what you want in the short run, but it will take away their trust and respect in the long run.
Over time, frequent anger has nowhere to go, but to harden into bitterness at which point it not only takes others' trust and respect away, it takes and keeps them away as they try to avoid you.

The old saying, 'You can't please everyone', certanly rings true at the workplace. As many employees you have around you, that many reputations you're going to have, because everybody sees you in a different light. Don't take it personally.

Resume keywords

Creating a resume can be a labor-intensive experience.
You need to summarize
- what you've done and
- what you're capable of doing
in the most effective way possible.
What matter, are the words you choose.
-> The backbone to most resume databases are keyword searches.
A great way to determine the buzzwords generally searched for by a particular industry is to peruse job openings on career Web sites and the Web sites of the types of companies you are interested in working for.
-> Read the job descriptions carefully to see which skills and credentials are in demand.
-> Pay attention to buzzwords that you can incorporate into your resume.
-> Try to use all possible combinations of keywords that describe the job you seek.

Commute Time

Use yor commute time to:
(*) THINK
(*) RELAX
(*) REGROUP
It is difficult to be at our best if we are stressed out.
Using the commute time for relaxation such as meditating, leisure reading and listening to relaxation tapes will help you arrive at your destination ready to tackle the challenges of the day.

The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.

Standard Interview Questions

By preparing ahead of time for some common interview questiones, you'll improve your odds of engaging in a productive conversation with your interviewer - one that can provide necessary insight into why you're the perfect person for the job.
(*) What are your weaknesses?
Answer should illustrate your willingness to continue to better yourself, both as a professional individual and as a member of a team.
(*) Do you have any questions for me?
You should be able to ask a few questions about the company's current operations and its plans for the future.
(*) What's the best part of your job?
Discuss the people you interact with inside and outside the office. Talk about the value of the work. Mention the numerous ways you feel your work benefits others.
(*) Tell me something about yourself
Interviewers don't want your life story. Instead, they want to know what personal attributes and experiences make you the candidate they're looking for.
(*) Where would you like to see yourself in five years?
Give your interviewer a tangible response, focusing on an area of the company, if possible.
(*) Why did you decide to become a (occupation)?
You can admit desire for financial stability, but not before you discuss your interest in your field, your appreciation of new challenges and any other reasons you can think of to convey the fact that you love what you do.
(*) Why should we hire you?
Never leave the interview without telling your interviewer that you want the job.
Talk about your strengths, reiterate your accomplishments and restate your willingness to learn.
(*) What's the worse part of your job?
Warning - TRAP!
It's O.K. to talk about negative things in a positive light, like:'I wish I had more time to focus on some of the issues the company is currently facing', but do not mention other employees or supervisors when talking about things you dislike.
(*) What are your strengths?
Discuss what you do well and provide specifics on how you do it.

Don't dominate your subordinates

It is usually not an effective strategy unless you have bad news to deliver and/or there's an imminent problem with only one available response.
Dominance has to do with maintaining complete control.
If your objective is to maintain control at all times, you're likely to lose your credibility.
