Forum for Traditional Job Searchers and Self-Employed Professionals
If you are like most traditional job searchers you are
probably feeling uncomfortable and nervous. Questions
of resume preparation, interviewing skills and what to
wear to an interview can keep you up at night. There
are numerous books written on this subject, some of
the information is good and some contain bad advice.
Since the very first interview was conducted one thing
has remained constant, the best person for the job will
have limited interviewing experience. Because top
performers are career focused people they have the
least job search experience. When they make a move it will be strategic and seen as a career enhancing opportunity. So, if you are feeling anxious and uncertain about the process, know that you are in good company.
