3) The larger skilling agenda should be executed for India and not just for individual organizations.

Void Management When Your Team Leader leaves The Team

In a working professional's life, the working place plays a second home where he/she spends most time of his/her day. Hence, even if one person leaves the team, there is obviously a change that occurs in the team dynamics and schedules. If a new person is assigned to take over the vacant post, there are many issues to be considered with respect to work style, attitude and team compatibility. However, if it is the team leader (read:boss) who has moved on, the situation needs special attention. Career News finds the effects when your team violates.

The point to consider is that the team members are used to a particular style of leadership, and hence, the sudden transformation has to be handled in a way that does not affect the productivity of the team as well as the team chemistry. 'Our senior leaders spend a considerable amount of time and effort on succession planning for each role. In order to battle a situation as this, there should be a well-established process for meeting such demands if and when they arise,' says VP HR of country's leading system manufacturer.

The HR department has to think of the whole situation from the point of view of the employees who are still a part of that team for which the leadership has changed. From an HR's perspective, it is important that they address this issue and show the team that steps are being taken to make the transition smooth for both the parties involved. 'Team dynamics are definitely affected by people movement - more so when bosses move. However, what is important is to ensure a robust communication plan is well in place that helps in mitigating any potential issues that may arise out of such a movement,' says Head of a talent management.

The team members may have shared a different relationship with their previous boss and there is a sense of security that the team has, as they have been working with the particular person for sometime now. When the HR is more people-oriented, can they understand the true potential of the situation and take steps to help the employees to get over the situation as soon as possible.

Millenials and Their Ruling World

A lot has been discussed about the entry of Generation Y or the Millenials into the workforce. They are a lot different from the older knowledge workers and all set to shake up offices and organizations, say experts. Career News tells you more about this charismatic bunch of professionals

The workplace is not what it used to be earlier. Prior to 1998, there were essentially three generations working together with a reasonable degree of harmony. While traditionalists, baby boomers and Gen Xers are certainly distinct and each has their pros and cons, the millennials have developed work characteristics and tendencies from doting parents, structured lives and contact with diverse people. Millennials are used to working in teams and want to make friends with people at work. MD of Kelly Services added that to effectively interact with or manage millennials, it is critical to understand what drives them and shapes the value of their generation. As they are more technology savvy, their preferred mode of communication is instant messenger followed by e-mails and phone calls. They have enjoyed close relationships with parents, teachers and mentors and open electronic access to virtually anyone. They are therefore more willing to circumvent institutional hierarchies to have their voices heard at the top by providing ‘bounded access’ to managerial levels and above through formal 'meet and greet'’ occasions or informal town hall-type meetings. Millennials need to feel that their ideas are being heard while still working within the larger organization's structure.
Today, organizations constitute a large number of a younger workforce, so a large percentage of stakeholders within organizations are millenials. It has been found that even in new age businesses, 80-90 per cent of talented workforce comprise of millenials. Although they do not have many years of experience, they certainly have great innovative ideas and energy to implement, qualities which are widely accepted by their target audience landed by director of GlobalHunt.

FOR A BETTER TOMORROW
In a challenging economy, many young workers are just thankful to have a job. But smart companies are developing strategies to maximize the potential of their entry-level employees — members of the millennial generation — to gain full value from their workforce and minimize turnover as the economy rebounds. What sets them apart at the workplace is their ‘sixth sense’ when it comes to incorporating technology to interact with the world, coupled with an expectation that organizations will moduld themselves to accommodate their needs.
So what are some of the ways through which organizations can keep them moving?
  • Millennials want to look up to their leaders, learn from them and receive daily feedback. They always wish to have the leader’s best investment of time in their success.
  • Focus on skills: Focus on what they are good at. This group is energetic, bright, and fearless and can multi-task better than anyone. They are technologically-savvy and are used to a 24/7 environment. Instead of complaining about the ways in which this group differs from past generations, use their strengths to your advantage.
  • Provide a fun, employee-centred workplace: Millennials want to enjoy their work. They want to enjoy their workplace. Employers need to worry if the millennial employees aren’t laughing, going out with workplace friends for lunch and helping plan the next company event or committee.
  • Make the work assigned to them more meaningful: Nothing turns off a millennial faster than work that has no perceived value. Leaders need to provide them with tasks that are more meaningful and have variety.
  • Challenge them: Millennials want learning opportunities. They want to be assigned to projects they can learn from. A recent Randstad employee survey found that 'trying new things' was the most popular item. They are looking for growth, development and a career path.
  • "This is a generation of talented people who wants to be heard and this need can be supplemented through a coaching-mentoring model. Organizations need to have credible mentors who can satisfy the impatience and curiosity levels of this workforce. The leader of the past knew how to tell, but the leader of the future will know how to ask.

The Millennials have a 'can-do' attitude about tasks at work and seek feedback about how they are performing on a regular basis – even daily. Positive and confident, millennials are ready to take on the world!

Leadership Training for Corporates Leaders

Training for executive coaching is raising and receiving immense popularity in India Inc as one of the most efficient ways to nurture and groom potential leaders, discovers Career News.

It is a well-acknowledged fact that a strong leadership team is essential for the success of an organization and today, many firms are in the process of creating good leaders. And how are they honing the talent of future leaders? The answer: executive coaching. Executive coaching is defined as coaching at the executive level (a single individual or a team within an organization) or at an individual level outside the organizational barriers. This one-on-one interaction between a coach and an executive, mainly to enhance his/her potential, both on the job and at a personal level, is quite a new phenomenon in corporate India. According to MD of ELS, even though the concept of executive coaching is very nascent in India, many organizations have begun to realize the benefits of this and are open to implement coaching practices.

But why are organizations keen on promoting the concept of executive coaching? According to director of DCV, an executive coach could bring in several benefits to the organization as well as employees. An executive coach brings in a totally new and different perspective to an organization's functioning. Also, a firm could get an unbiased and a neutral view on things.

At an individual level, an executive coach engages in skillful conversations with the executive and assesses his/her skills and gives them possible suggestions to deal with different situations/demands at work. Coaching does powerful reinforcement of positive behavior. There is lot of unlearning that must be done at an executive level and a coach helps in achieving just that.

Even though executive coaching is gaining prominence in India Inc, there continues to exist a dearth of qualified executive coaches, say experts.

The activity of coaching is far different from training. Skills that are sought after to be a competent executive coach are far and few.The art of listening is among the most vital traits. The coach must be well-trained, equipped with good knowledge of the business and should have good credentials. An executive coach could alter the attitude, belief and behavior of an organization's key talent in order to help him/her to perform better in future life. If the training session is being carried out correctly, could leave a lasting impression on individuals and make them derive maximum advantage, both professionally and personally.

Thus, choosing the most talented executive coach is imperative for organizations and its talent to reap its benefits.

Prograssive Discipline For A Prograssive Workforce

What is 'progressive discipline' and how are organisations implementing it?

"Progressive discipline is a topic of concern today between employees and their employers. However, its ramifications, in the larger context, can have farreaching consequences, even to the extent of impacting organisational goals. The primary purpose of progressive discipline is to assist the employee towards understanding that an opportunity for improvement exists. At ATS, care is taken right from the time an employee comes for his/her first interview, which has a bearing on this aspect. It is during the interview process where the candidate learns that he/she has to live up to the expectations of the organisation and maintain a high level of progressive discipline," explains Lt. Gen HS Bagga, (Retd) corporate head – administration & HR, ATS Group. Career News helps you to gather all your instinct to behave and learn the work place mannerism in your organization.

According to Mukesh Goyal, CEO, IKF Technologies Ltd., "The term, 'progressive discipline' can be broadly defined as a process for dealing with job-related behaviour that does not meet expected and communicated performance standards. At IKF, we follow a feedback mechanism wherein we have a periodic review system in place - a platform where an open interaction takes place for exchange of ideas for performance improvement." Pramit Brahmbhatt, CEO, Alpari (India) expresses, "In today's times, you do not sack an employee on any given opportunity. Bureaucracy doesn't exist anymore. I think progressive discipline gives you an opportunity to test your employee's capability at its fullest before taking any firm decisions. On the other hand, it also offers an opportunity for an employee to give his/her best shot and showcase his/her seriousness towards work."
Many organisations are taking a proactive approach towards solving employee performance problems by using progressive discipline. This benefits, both employers and employees in many ways. "A proper progressive discipline plan ensures regular communication and timely intervention from the organisation to correct employee behaviour at the first sign of things not going right. It helps organisations achieve higher performance and productivity from their employees, while enhancing employee morale and retention by demonstrating that there are rewards for good performance and consequences for poor performance," states Bagga.
"It keeps employees informed about what the company expects out of them and where they stand vis-a-vis that expectation. Effectively used, progressive discipline helps an organisation identify the strengths and weaknesses of an employee and thus, get best results out of its workforce," adds Goyal.

So, how should organisations go about implementing progressive discipline at the workplace? Although progressive discipline as a practical matter is nearly universal, the manner in which employers communicate and apply progressive discipline varies greatly. "At ATS, remedial measures encompass a wholesome process covering various aspects. However, before embarking on the corrective methodology, the employer needs to look inwards to see that the malady has not occurred as a result of inadequate motivational aspects. We very clearly spell out the targets that are to be achieved and there is a monitoring system in place, which is tracked on a monthly basis. Where an individual fails to achieve without a cogent reason, he/she is counselled and a repetitive failure renders a candidate to harsher action," shares Bagga.

Implementing progressive discipline can solve many disciplinary issues at the workplace. A progressive disciplinary policy can promote a productive work environment. So, what are you waiting for?

Recruiters and Interview Sessions Are Getting Tougher Now-a-days

How many leaves do you see in the tree outside? How many people in your batch wear spectacles? How many steps have you climbed on the way to this office? Baffled? Zapped? Don't get puzzled, Career News brought the issue to let you notify about the present scenario of what is going on recruiter's mind.

Wait…there’s more. When CEO, MyInsuranceClub.com was recruiting at a premier B-school, he asked, ‘how does your institute’s logo look like?’ He adds, “The candidate must have looked at the logo a thousand times, but never really bothered to look very closely at it.

He was dumfounded ofcourse!” Yohannan didn’t stop grilling though. He asked the same candidate (who got shortlisted for five other companies) to elaborate on any one of the prospective company’s logo? “This had to be the worst interview session in that candidate’s life, as he experienced several embarrassing blanks throughout. The point I am trying to make is that, the question doesn’t need to be weird; it can be the most simple question to un-settle you and from then on, it’s anybody’s guess which way the interview can go,” adds Yohannan. You may wonder how do the answers to the above questions influence a recruiter’s decision. But clearly, we all know that they aren’t entirely insignificant because those questions are being asked by employers to gauge competencies and skills, vital for the job, right?

Dr. Shalini Sarin, director – HR, Schneider Electric India says, “Employers want to see how well the candidate can think on his/her feet. Sometimes, they just want to see if he/she gets rattled. Often, it is only to test one’s creativity or sense of humour. In creating stress and by asking a weird question, the interviewer may be testing how well the person would respond to stressful situations at the workplace.”

In a different interview setting, candidates were asked to express their opinions on the increasing significance of brain drain and Yohannan was a part of the discussion. While most candidates kept harping on the need for better facilities and the lack of government grants for research, etc to keep the best brains in our country, one of them blurted, ‘It considerably increases the marriage prospects of those who have moved abroad’ as one of the key reasons! Yohannan says, “And from there on, a very serious discussion was won over by just looking at the problem from a very non-traditional point of view. Yes, the candidate got selected!” Taxing?

It is evident that India Inc, in an endeavour to hire the best, is resorting to innovative ways of interviewing candidates and gauging their capabilities. “The people are competing across the globe today and hence, one needs to prepare oneself for handling situations, which are unknown and even of an imaginary nature, where the person’s ability and potential can be assessed and measured,” says Harpreet Kaur, senior GM and head – HR, Godrej & Boyce Mfg. Co. Ltd. The core model behind Hutchison 3 Global Services (H3GS)’s recruitment strategy is the competency-based hiring methodology, which is buffered with certain psychometric tests. In order to identify a candidate’s skills, they play a battery of audio clips of a customer call and ask the candidate for their response to that situation. Ashfaq ul Ahad, VP, recruitment, Hutchison 3 Global Services says, “This enables us to assess how the candidate will react to these situations in ‘real’ time. Another example here is a story reconstruction exercise where the candidates are given a written story about a customer’s problem. Candidates have to identify the customer’s situation and come up with a suitable response.” Ahad gives a word of caution, “Most of these programmes thrive on behaviour-based responses, which are only predictive in nature and can reasonably prove 90-92 per cent congruent on any statistical test; this means that there is an almost 8-10 per cent inherent risk in such methods.” Baffling?

For certain lateral positions at 3i Infotech, job seekers are grilled at the technical stage itself. The questions may require answers, which are technical solutions to the problem but they demand innovative thinking. In roles like training or sales, etc, the individual is required to deliver a short presentation or training module on a given topic. Certain roles, which are clientfacing require the ability to deal with pressure. Here, at 3i Infotech, the client is involved during the interview process and the candidate is put through a gruelling round of technical, business scenario questions and evaluated accordingly. Such questions bring out analytical thinking, creative abilities and crisis-handling traits, they believe. At Godrej & Boyce, they do follow unique approaches in the selection process, which is carried out for candidates. For middle to senior management recruitment and leadership development process, the selection process comprises of assessment centers based on the leadership competencies identified by the organisation. These assessment centers comprise of various tools and exercises like role plays, case studies, etc over and above the psychometric profiling. These days, recruiters refrain from asking dated questions like ‘where do you see yourself five years from now?’. Employers today want to make the most of the time in hand and you have to be prepared to shine through!

Experience and understanding of both traditional sales values and their roles within the context of modern national and global markets are essential factors of a successful sales recruitment company. Staff that can produce excellent credentials and extensive experience in the industry are great signs of professionalism and potential, and having a frank discussion with a consultant or representative at a sales recruitment firm about the group's background can often provide valuable insight.

How Your Payroll Service Outsourcing Could Be Advantageous

Whether or not to hire a business payroll service for your company has always been a question most companies have pondered for a long time. The debate over keeping your payroll in-house or employing one of the many payroll outsourcing services available in the market has brought about many interesting arguments and counter-arguments on this issue.

So, why not just manage your own payroll instead of hiring a business payroll service? Simply put, all outsourcing services, including quick payroll services, were meant to relieve companies of the burden of managing multiple administrative functions so that these companies can concentrate on their own core competencies. This logic is more apparent in large companies or organizations that spend too much time on their administrative chores; leaving a lot to be desired in the improvement of their products or services.

Hiring a business payroll service provider will also relieve you of the burden of filing the income taxes and other government fees of your employees.

How to Continue With Telemarketing - Summer Time Story

Browse the hitlisted secrets with Career News to enrich your telemarketing skills.

The summertime often offers a lull in activities in many businesses across the UK. We presume that since people are away taking their holidays, we should perhaps reduce our telemarketing efforts until the early Autumn. Many people complain that their sales figures or sign-ups are slow during the summer, but of course they're slower if they reduce their telemarketing campaigning!

However, you should not stop your sales campaigns just because traditionally people holidayed during the summer months. Keep the pressure on and keep the money coming in. Who can afford to have a slow summer this year? Here are our 10 reasons why you shouldn't stop telemarketing this summer.

Don't Stop 1: While the Gatekeeper Sleeps
At some point in the summer, the regular gatekeeper, the person that guards the important prospect from unnecessary distractions to making their company money, will go on holiday.

At this point, someone less well-trained, less experienced and much easier to sidestep will often be appointed to cover their summer holiday period. It's at this time, that an experienced and skilled telemarketer can make a break past the inexperienced gatekeeper and get connected to prospects that can take advantage of your summer deals.

Don't Stop 2: Never Be Forgotten
It's important to keep in touch with your prospects throughout the year. If you don't call during the summer, the chances are that some canny telemarketers from another company will slip unnoticed into your place and make the sale whilst you're away topping up the tan.

Do not give your prospect the opportunity to forget you. Sometimes it really takes persistent reminders of the benefits and values of your products/services before they will finally cave and go with you. But if you give up during the summer, that alternative telemarketer, the one that isn't afraid to call during the summer, will make the sale instead of you.

Don't Stop 3: Stand out from the Crowd
BE the stand out, the alternative telemarketer that was mentioned above. So many companies don't bother to telemarket during summer that they miss valuable opportunities to win business during the summer months. When you call your prospects, the chances are you'll be one of a very few that know how to turn summer into sales. Stand out from the crowd by calling for a chat during a long summer's day.

Don't Stop 4: We Know You're In There
Not everyone can go away for their summer holidays at the same time. The right people have to be in the office at some point during the summer. If you're lucky, the right person is at work whilst their secretary or some other gatekeeper is away for their annual trip to Majorca. Your tenacity will benefit you plenty if you can keep making contact without becoming too irritating.

Don't Stop 5: Set Up for Autumn
If you find that getting the right people to make a decision is difficult in the summer, why not set up appointments for the Autumn, or just use the time to build a relationship with the prospect. Setting up more profitable interactions with potential customers and clients later in the year isn't time wasted; it's an investment in sales at a later stage. Use the summer months to set up sales in the Autumn.

Don't Stop 6: Know Your Industry
Each industry works differently when it comes to summer holidays. The better you know your industry, the better you will understand when the best time to call will be. Some industries close their factories and offices for periods of time during the summer, so clearly, that's a black out period for your telemarketers. Don't waste time calling businesses that are closed for their summer holidays!

Don't Stop 7: Their Summer is Slack
Let's face it; some businesses do experience a slower summer. So that means when they're not taking their vacation, there's a lot of people sitting around in offices wishing they were somewhere else, or at least that it would stop raining.

If you can call during this time, you can bring a little merriment back to their office. Don't go straight for the sell, just have a chat, build rapport, work on the relationship, you can always call back during the Autumn if you feel that now's not the right time to sell them something. But using your experienced telemarketers, you'll know the difference and use the prospect's slack summer as an advantage to you.

Don't Stop 8: People are Ready to Receive
This is the prime time to build rapport with people. Call on a sunny summer morning and you'll be much more likely to build a relationship with the person at the other end of the phone. People are relaxed, they're happier because of the sun and they feel more positively. Also, because it's sunny outside, and they'd like to be outside, they're more likely to consider your phone call a break from their daily routine.

Don't call in the afternoon, many people leave earlier or start focusing on the 5pm bolt for the door.

Don't Stop 9: Who Can Afford A Summer Holiday?
You may have noticed that there's been a catastrophic global economic crisis. Well, who can afford to close down for the summer any more? Get calling, people are much less likely to take long summer breaks this year, most people are broke! This is the perfect time to make someone's day by telling them precisely how you can make things better for their business.

Don't Stop 10: Invest in Training
If you really can't make the dots connect this summer, it is still a fantastic opportunity to train your telemarketing staff. During the slow period, invest in training your staff and then unleash them refreshed and renewed as the Autumn begins.

Properties of Retail Commercial in UK Continue Investing to Fall

Career News is highlighting on Regional manager Jobs on this issue.

Investment into UK shopping centres has decreased by almost 75% in 2008 according to Cushman and Wakefield's latest report. Before the credit crunch took its toll UK retail commercial property was experiencing a boom growth cycle with 2004 being a record year for investment in UK shopping centres. However, the economic downturn has meant a record number of shops and retail commercial property have been left to collect dust in what once were busy high street shopping areas.

Welsh and West Midlands towns seem to be the worst affected by the decline. An increasing number of retailers are going into administration in areas such as Holyhead and Milford Haven in Wales and Chelmsley Wood in the West Midlands and there will be numerous shops and commercial properties left empty due to the downturn in consumer traffic and spending. Milford Haven already has a vacancy rate of 30% and Chelmsley Wood in the West Midlands has 28% of its shops left vacant. Despite these already large vacancy figures Experian predicts that both will see further declines throughout 2009. Similar effects to commercial property occupancy levels are expected to be seen at retail parks where due to the loss of MFI and Land of Leather, as well as other prominent high street brands occupancy levels are expected to drop to around 30%.

News for shopping centres and retail commercial property is not all doom and gloom for the UK however. Plans to carry out a major mixed-use development on Brighton's seafront in Sussex have been restarted by Standard Life Investments after they were put on hold last year due to the adverse market conditions. Plans include significant expansion of the Churchill Square shopping centre as well as other leisure facilities developments. The huge investment and development will transform this particular area of Brighton and hopefully create a stunning new focal point on the seafront.

Towards the end of 2009 UK retail commercial property investment is likely to begin to increase once again especially amongst cash rich buyers. They will have a rich supply of commercial property bargains available to them due to the decreasing values and prices of many real estate properties.

Are You Suited For Drilling Engineering Jobs And Subsea Jobs?

Drilling engineering jobs constitute the majority of jobs that most people see as being the type of work oil workers are involved in. Most people harbour the impression of petroleum companies as only doing one thing ' digging wells for oil and gas. In some ways this is true, while in others it is not quite so true. While it is true that drilling wells for oil and gas form a core part of the business of petroleum companies, extracting those precious resources from below the earth and bringing it up, these companies would not be able to function without the many thousands of supporting workers in logistics, technical support, engineering, geology, and other vital departments. Sort out your career path with Career News.

Nevertheless, drilling engineering jobs are among the more important jobs to be found in an petroleum company, and you might find yourself interested in becoming employed in such a capacity. If you are, then here are some things you can consider to determine if you are suited for drilling engineering jobs or not.

Drilling engineering jobs are involved with anything that has to do with the process of drilling a well and then putting the machinery down to extract the oil or gas below. This is not a simple process, by any means, and involves hundreds of details from planning for a well to be drilled to arranging for the required machinery and equipment to be transported to the drilling site.

Another possibility you should consider are subsea jobs involving drilling. Petroleum companies extract oil and gas from both the land and below the ocean, and while land-based drilling engineering jobs are challenging, subsea jobs are even more so. This is the part of drilling for oil that involves in the oil rigs that you so often see in movies.

Subsea jobs are made more challenging by the fact that drilling must be carried out from huge floating platforms on the surface of the ocean, while the drills extend down to the ocean floor and further below that. The challenges that workers in subsea jobs face are markedly different from those working in land-based jobs.

The sea is often unpredictable and treacherous, and sudden storms can spell disaster for those working on board floating oil rigs. Seawater is also extremely corrosive for metal, and the machinery and equipment on board oil rigs require more rigorous monitoring and maintenance than those used on land. The job of surveying the earth for oil and gas deposits is also made more difficult by the seawater separating people on the platform and the ocean floor.

If you relish a challenge, however, and are not afraid to work in a strange and unfamiliar environment, then you should definitely consider subsea jobs. You will find yourself involved with building and maintaining drills underwater, constructing underwater pipelines to transport oil and gas to refineries, and dealing with other work that needs to be done below the surface of the waves.

So if you are a person who likes being challenged and also has a love for the sea, then subsea jobs are perfect for you. If you would like to be involved in drilling, but do not wish to work on an oil rig, then you can simply apply for drilling engineering jobs on land instead.

Success in Sales - The 5 Steps To Go

It's a common question we come across everyday: why is business getting more difficult now? Well, it all starts with your company's sales competencies. The strange thing is that many companies spend lots of money and time training its people how to sell their products but not how to sell. Walk along with Career News and be the almighty in sales jobs.

Avoid the sales peaks and troughs experienced by the average salesperson by building an individual selling system that will guarantee you results'

Step 1: Goals
Without clearly defined goals, measured over a specific time frame, you will achieve very little. When setting your goals consider your income, lifestyle and requirements. First aim to improve your last years' income by a specific amount, or, if you are new to sales, aim to achieve as close to the top sales person in your team as you can.

Step 2: Prospecting
The level of success achieved by salespeople will always be determined by the number of customers self generated, that is other than floor traffic or telephone enquiries generated by your advertising.
Put a system in place to regularly find new customers from referrals, past customers etc.
Build up your database of loyal customers that you can sell time after time.

Step 3: Qualifying
Qualifying is the factor, which has the greatest impact on the management of your time. You have to become skilled in sorting prospects. The greatest stress in your career will come from working with unqualified prospects, be it someone who refuses to buy at a fantastic price or someone who is not ready, willing and able to buy at all.

Step 4: The Sales Process
The key to a successful sale is the ability to build rapport and trust with each customer.
Meet, greet and build rapport, settle them on a model, garment or product to demonstrate.
All the time check by asking trial-closing questions then asks for their business.
Remember to sell the benefits of your product speaking in their own linguistic modality. For example talking to an auditory person about a car engine you would say.
'Listen to that engine, doesn't it sound great?'' Or to a visual person your could say, 'You see how smooth that engine is''

Step 5: Follow up
This is the first step to the next sale to your customer or to obtaining referrals from them' First a thank you letter, then a 7 day follow up call followed by a call at least every 9 days. This will ensure a steady stream of referrals' All you have to do is ask

Remember' Do what you most fear to do, and you will have the results you most want to have'

Success Keys for Job Seekers at Interview Panel

Even though the recession is finally packing up its bags and leaving us to rebuild our economy, much of its impact is still being felt. Competition is still fierce and many people are considered to be lucky if they even get as far as the interview stage. Follow up Career News and crack the dream job you are looking for.

However, if you're one of the few who have been lucky enough to bag an interview, the chances are you'll be a little nervous about how you can make the most of the time you have to really sell yourself to your would-be employer. Thankfully, there are plenty of things you can do to give yourself that little bit of edge which will hopefully make you shine above the rest.

First of all, you should know your own job inside out. Whatever it is you're applying for your interviewers will be more impressed the more you know about it. Even better, if you read up about the company you are applying to and show an awareness of their history and current standing in the market you will prove that you are enthusiastic to be an employee.

Preparation is key for interviews. There are a myriad of books and websites out there that will help you enormously when it comes to anticipating the types of questions you will be asked during an interview. After all, when it comes down to it, most interviews are similar in that the questions you are asked are set to assess how well you fare when it comes to key skills, such as problem solving, leadership and teamwork.

The best way to prepare for these questions - particularly the "tell me about a time when you'" ones - is to come up with answers beforehand. Countless individuals have gone into interviews containing these questions unprepared and ended up floundering when asked to recall a moment they went all out to ensure a disgruntled client walked away happy.

If you can't reel it off right away, work out your answers beforehand. That way, your interview will continue smoothly and it will become apparent that you have done your homework. This approach will show your interviewers that you are willing to prepare, work hard and excel when it comes to the work itself.

Finally, don't despair if you don't end up getting the job. More and more are opening up every day and, if you want help finding them, you can apply to a recruitment agency as well as check listings on the internet to help you on your search.

Importance of Using a Recruitment Agency to Find You a Job

Are you feeling tired and frustrated after seeing no results from your job hunting efforts? You attend interview after interview, and you wait patiently day by day to receive a phone call from an employer with good news. But the call never came. Soon, your patience starts to wear thin, and you feel tired and frustrated. Perhaps even a tad angry that you didn't get the job you feel you deserve. Follow the Career News to know how to get better help from a recruitment agency.

Job recruitment agencies have active customer bases. Their customers are the employers. Whenever someone recommended by the recruitment agency is hired, the agency gets paid a commission. The amount of commission depends of private agreements between the employer and the agency. In other words, the primary function of the job agency is to serve the human resource needs of the organization. The faster the agency finds the right match, the faster they get paid.

So in order to make the right match quickly, job agencies are known to keep a database of potential candidates. When a job opportunity arises, the recruitment agency will attempt to contact job candidates to see if they are still looking for a job. If these candidates are still available, and if they have the right qualifications, they may be called in by the agency for a quick interview. In some cases, the positions are so urgent that the agency will conduct the interview over the phone, and send the candidate directly over.

If you are feeling frustrated because your job hunting efforts haven't been fruitful, try contacting a recruitment agency. For all you know, your dream job may just be sitting around waiting for the ideal candidate - you!

As the job seeker, you do not have to pay any fees when you engage the services of a recruitment agency. The employers are the ones who pay the agencies, not you. The agencies will also do all the coordination work for you. If you have the right qualifications, they will fix up the interview appointment for you, and let you know the date and time. Top recruitment agencies may even call you up after an interview to find out if an interview went smoothly or not.

If an interview is unsuccessful, the recruitment agency will then look at other opportunities to see if there is a good fit for you. This process continues until the agency matches you with a job.

When you contact a recruitment agency, bear in mind that you have to play your part as well. Make the job of the recruitment agency easier by providing them lots of useful information about yourself. For example, testimonials from previous employers will help. Also, help them see how you qualify for certain jobs. Perhaps you have been taking private classes. Or maybe you find yourself having a strong passion for certain types of jobs. Make such information known to the recruitment agency. They will be better equipped to help promote you when they speak with the employers.

If you can do that, you are ready to enjoy the full benefits provided by recruitment agencies.

Secrets To Crack Landing Seasonal Jobs & Temporary Employment

The title of this article may be a little bit deceiving. There really is no "secret" to securing great seasonal jobs and temporary employment, but there is a healthy dose of common sense and assertiveness recommended for landing temporary employment over the winter months. Share the following factors with Career News.

When to look
If you're shopping for a part-time holiday gig without any leads or connections, then the sooner you start looking, the better. That is, unless you you're prepared to wrap up and pass out TV dinners and paper towel greeting cards to your family and friends again this year. Trust us, frozen Salisbury steak makes a worse present than socks and David Hasselhoff CDs.

To beat the rush, start (and hopefully finish) your search before Nov. 1. Remember, if you're a high school student, hungry college students will be arriving home to snatch up jobs for Winter Break. And if you're a college student nervous that high school students will grab all the good jobs, it's best to rely on your connections. This advice actually works for everybody: Check in with some of your previous summer job and part-time employers to see if they can squeeze you in the schedule. Since you've previously worked there, they won't have to spend time and money on training, making you more attractive than a newbie employee.

Where to look
Not only are there more jobs during the November and December holiday season, but there is also greater flexibility, as holiday shopping hours have businesses opening earlier and closing later. Here are some of the industries that get hot when it gets cool outside:

Retail
This is a no-brainer. People buy more stuff during the holiday months. And they buy it at stores. Hence, more employees are needed. This is where you come in! Whether you want to refold shirts just yards from the mall food court or restock the aisles of your local toy store, the possibilities are endless. Stores such as Michaels, Party City, Toys "R" Us, Target, Kohl's and Bed Bath & Beyond will all certainly be hiring extra workers this season. Be sure to ask potential employers if they offer an employee discount; you might be able to save on holiday shopping without having to be cheap!


Restaurants
Holiday foot traffic picks up at both fast food joints, such as Wendy's and McDonald's, as well as casual dining eateries, including Romano's Macaroni Grill and The Cheesecake Factory. Not only are people grabbing bites on-the-go between shopping stops, but they're meeting up with family and friends. And when you're spending days slaving in the kitchen on the year's most anticipated home-cooked meals, you need a break from the potato peeler and the turkey baster at some point. Since restaurants are open later than your typical businesses, there's added flexibility in the hours. And if you're eligible for an employee discount, free or discounted grub will help you afford grabbing gifts for the grandparents and second cousins on your list.

The North Pole
We don't mean this literally. But the truth is that the holiday season offers many rare job opportunities that aren't available the rest of the year; that is, unless we missed the shopping mall Santa fly fishing in the department store fountain in the middle of July. From the aforementioned Kris Kringle impersonators and his assistants to Christmas tree lot workers and gift wrappers, there's a veritable holiday buffet of unique jobs to try out. And don't forget Santa's real-world sleigh - check out FedEx jobs and other couriers with extra hiring needs during the gift-giving season.

Will you keep the job?
When the Christmas trees hit the curb and the school starts back up, there's a decision to be made. Granted, some seasonal jobs are just that - temporary gigs undertaken with mutual understanding that you'll be unemployed when the holidays are over. But with many jobs, you may have the opportunity to stay on the staff in some capacity. Here is some advice: No matter which of the two situations you find yourself in, and what decision you make, keep the door open for returning to the job down the road. Be open, honest and respectful of your employer. And the next time you're looking for a seasonal gig, you might be able to come back.

But many students works from home and earns money from student hood too. Career News is informing you the top ten major job profile for people who would like to proceed being staying at home. Catch it and start up earning money.

Customer Service Jobs
Thanks to the internet and software programs that allow you to log in to a company's system from home, it is easy for employers to hire remote customer service agents. Imagine sitting in your home office, answering telephone calls from people all over the world. That is a reality for many thousands of home-workers today! The duties that come along with customer service positions vary from company to company, but most often you would be answering customer phone calls, providing general customer service, addressing complaints, entering orders into the company computer system online, and so on.

Requirements: Most companies would require you to have an updated home office environment with computer, telephone, headset, and fax machine, though this will vary depending on the job duties.

Telemarketing Career
Telemarketing is another job that can easily be done from home. Most often this involves making cold calls to sales leads and either selling merchandise or services directly, or sometimes you would be simply setting appointments for sales people to close the sale.

Requirements: Most of these jobs would require an unlimited phone plan so you could make long distance calls without extra charges, but some companies do have a program where you could log into their system online and make the calls over a broadband connection. Some of these jobs do require sales or telemarketing experience, but some are willing to train.

Transcription Work
Transcription is done by listening to audio files and typing them into written form. There are two basic types of transcription jobs: medical and general. Medical transcription requires more intensive training so you will know the medical terminology used on the recordings, which are often created by doctors and other health professionals. General transcription can include many different types of audio recordings, such as meeting notes, seminars, teleseminars, and interviews.

Requirements: Transcription jobs will usually require equipment like software programs that can play the audio files at various speeds, and sometimes a specialized foot pedal is also required to control the software. You may also need a special headset.

Web Design Artists
Web design jobs are great options for working at home. You can either work as an employee for a company, or as a freelancer who hires out your skills to many different clients. These jobs would obviously require that you have knowledge of web design, HTML, CSS, PHP, and other computer languages.

Requirements: The only equipment requirements for web design work at home jobs would be the software you need to create, design and update web pages. Some companies might require you to use a specific program like Dreamweaver, but others might not.

Writers for Blog and Others
Writing is a great option for working at home too. You could either work for one company exclusively or freelance for many clients. This job also offers great flexibility with the types of writing and publications you can choose from. You could write for print markets like magazines, or focus on online publications by writing for e-newsletters and e-zines. Writers are needed for many different types of materials, such as sales brochures, technical manuals, parenting publications, health websites - you can even be a "ghostwriter" for people who want to publish their own books but don't have strong writing skills! Writers can also create their own income by writing and selling e-books online, creating content websites funded by advertising, affiliate products and more. Basically, if you have strong writing skills, there are endless ways to turn them into a paying venture.

Requirements: Even better, the only requirements for working at home as a writer would be having the skills and motivation to do it. It may be helpful to have at least the basic software programs that most clients would use, such as Microsoft Word.

Creative Graphic Designers
Just like web design, graphics design can be done from home too. This would involve the creation of digital images like artwork, company logos and web site graphics. Graphic designers
can also work with print images, but that would more likely be done for a local company, even if you could still work at home much of the time.

Requirements: Once again, software programs for graphic design would be needed, as well as proper training.

Sales and Marketing
Sales jobs can be done from home by telephone or internet, but some may also require daily visits to prospective clients. Some sales jobs would pay commission-only (you would only get paid if you make sales), but some do offer a base salary plus commission.

Requirements: This will vary depending on the company and type of sales job, but most often you would need to have some sales experience, and a home office with computer, telephone and fax machine.

Virtual Assisting Jobs
Virtual assisting is becoming one of the more popular work at home jobs these days. Most often these jobs require basic clerical skills like knowing how to use a computer, the internet, telephone, email, word processing programs like Microsoft Word, as well as spreadsheets, perhaps accounting software, and other basic office equipment. A Virtual Assistantcan work solely for one employer, or be a freelance independent contractor. The duties of a virtual assistant would most often involve answering telephones, doing clerical work, answering email inquiries from clients, sending mailings, making travel arrangements, and more. (It varies greatly depending on the employer.)

Requirements: Usually you would need an updated computer system, telephone, fax machine, and the right software programs that your employer would use.

Private Tutoring for Students
Teaching and tutoring jobs can also easily be done from home, and they can apply to different settings. For example, you could tutor children who need help with their studies, or teach English as a second language to adults. You could work independently on your own, or sign on with a company who will connect you with clients.

Requirements: Besides specialized knowledge and teaching credentials, very little equipment is needed for this kind of work at home job.

Consultants
If you have specialized knowledge in specific areas, you may be able to create a lucrative consulting practice from home. There are consultants for pretty much everything, from legal to medical to business to personal life coaching! Consider your areas of expertise and ask yourself if people would be willing to pay money to learn from you. More often consulting is done on an independent basis rather than working specifically for one company.

Requirements: Depending on the type of consulting you would be doing, you may need a full home office setup as well as other equipment or software programs related to your line of work.

There are many other types of jobs that can be done from home, but these are probably the most common. However, as technology continues to advance we will likely see more and more opportunities to do even more jobs from home in the future.
