Deadly Interview Question #1! by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 The #1 most common first question asked in a job interview is also one of the most deadly. Right off the bat the interviewer gives the person a long length of rope which the interviewee very often uses to hang themselves! What’s that deadly question? “Tell me about yourself!” The question sounds innocent enough, even friendly. Technically, it’s not even a question really. It’s a statement. So what’s the problem? MANY peo... |

Do References Really Matter? by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 No one actually checks references anymore, do they? Even if they did, my company can’t say anything negative about me because of the potential liability, right? Besides, who would list someone as a reference if it wasn’t a positive one anyway? These are some of the questions I hear from candidates from time to time. The truth is that references DO matter! Do you know what yours will say? Do you know how they will say... |

Do Thank You Notes Really Matter? by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 YES! EVERYBODY sends a Thank You note after an interview...Right? Wrong! Having been in the Employment Placement industry for 23 years, I’ve found that only around 10% to 20% of candidates actually send a Thank You note after an interview. And of those, fewer still send one after each interview at a company. Even though I coach all my candidates to send one after interviews I set up for them, only around half actually do... |

Do You Really Have To Network For Your Job Search? by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 I was asked to speak at a Job Networking session to a group of Information Technology (IT) Professionals. I was asked to talk about an effective ‘Elevator Speech’ or any other aspect of Networking that I’d like. For the past 23 years I’ve been a Recruiter specializing in placing IT Professionals, and one thing I know, is that with few exceptions, most IT pro’s hate the thought of ‘Networking’! It’s a different story if we’re... |

Effective Networking? or Blowing It? by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 When you’re networking, how do you know if you’re blowing it? If you ask everyone you talk to if they know of a job for you...you’re probably blowing it! – Instead ask: “Who do you know that would be good for me to network with?” They may not like being put on the spot about a job, but may be willing to refer you to others. You want to keep that networking chain going! If you don’t bother to contact people that have be... |

Eight Self-Imposed Reasons People Can’t Find Jobs by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 It’s a tough job market...no question about it! People that previously seemed to be able to jump into a new job fairly quickly after a lay off, are having much longer stretches of unemployment these days. I had a person in one of my job search classes recently who was downright angry that his previous job search method wasn’t working. The last two times he had to look for a new job (both during booming economies) all he ha... |

Finding a Job Without a Harvard MBA by Harry Urschel - Nov, 2009 Too many people treat their job search as if they had an MBA from Harvard. They send their resume or apply online for an appropriate job opening and wait for the phone to ring. Unfortunately, most of us don’t have that highly valued sheepskin, or some other ‘bell ringer’ that will jump off the pages of our resume to reliably cause recruiters or hiring managers to call. So the rest of us have to be more proactive in our sear... |
