Have the final version professionally reproduced RESUME WRITING TIPS

Use the below table to construct your answer .

You can talk about your professional goal or can be specific by naming the promotions you someday hope to win. Reassure your interviewer that you’re looking to make a long-term commitment…that this position entails exactly what you’re looking to do and what you do extremely well. As for your future, you believe that if you perform each job at hand with excellence, future opportunities will take care of themselves.

Your Body Language – Do’s 2 Show your enthusiasm by keeping an interested expression. Nod and make positive gestures in moderation to avoid looking like a bobble head. 3 If you have more than one person interviewing you at once, make sure you briefly address both people with your gaze (without looking like a tennis spectator) and return your attention to the person who has asked you a question. 1 Sit up straight, and lean slightly forward in your chair. In addition to projecting interest and engagement in the interaction, aligning your body's position to that of the interviewer's shows admiration and agreement .

Only a small percentage of communication involves actual words: 7%, to be exact. In fact, 55% of communication is visual (body language, eye contact) and 38% is vocal (pitch, speed, volume, tone of voice). The world's best business communicators have strong body language: a commanding presence that reflects confidence, competence, and charisma

Your Body Language – Do’s 5 When you're speaking, let your hands do some of the talking. Great speakers use hand gestures more than on average. 4 99% Eye Contact – Remember this isn’t a staring contest!

Your Body Language – Don’ts 2 Swivel in your chair or click/tap your pen. Avoid clicky-ticky-taps! 3 Sit with your armed folded across your chest. You'll appear unfriendly and disengaged. 1 Rub the back of your head or neck. Touch your face, tug on jewelry. Even if you really do just have a cramp in your neck or an itch, these gestures make you look disinterested and nervous.

Common Interview Errors Lack of Preparation Error 1 Asking about salary too early Error 4 Saying bad about college/ system/ former company/ boss Error 2 Lying/ Providing wrong information! Error 3

Clarity : Conceptual clarity, Thought Clarity, Speech clarity Can do : A can do attitude, Past proof, Potential Why? : Why this person? Extra! More! Reliability : High / low maintenance Adaptability : Abilities to learn, adapt, become responsible.

Can’t explain what has been doing so much? Proof for lack of execution Too much of gap – “Planned / possible vs. current” Short term orientation, Short cut approach

What do you want to be known for? Live the story you want to tell. = Is what your peers think of you when they hear your name. Separates you from others while highlighting your strengths. Makes a promise to others that you have a strong foundation and that you can be trusted . Keeps you focused on what’s most important to you. Tells people who you are and it makes a guarantee about the future. Makes a positive statement about your character

SOME OF GREATEST PERSONAL BRANDS

Competent Proficient in required skills and knowledgeable. Courteous Being good-natured, respectful, and considerate. Credible Being consistent and certain. Confident Assured of one’s abilities. Conscientious Thoughtful and dependable. Communicator Effective Correspondence and understanding others.

Examples Stress-less cheerleader Dedicated, daring, achiever The go-to guy for proofreading Savvy, caring, achiever Funny, friendly, free spirit Prolific, stylish, go-getter

THE ICEBERG SEA LEVEL BEHAVIOR VALUES – STANDARDS – JUDGMENTS ATTITUDE MOTIVES – ETHICS - BELIEFS KNOWN TO OTHERS UNKNOWN TO OTHERS IMPACT

A positive attitude is not a destination. It is a way of life.

Positive thinking – Optimism Watch your thoughts, they become words. Watch your words, they become actions. Watch your actions, they become habits. Watch your habits, they become your character. Watch your character, it becomes your destiny. Presumably by Frank Outlaw ,

Positive communication – A positive word releases positive energy Practices: yes, can, possible etc...

Positive actions Do - Be and Have Action is the real measure of intelligence,

Live in the present We are very productive when we do not have repentance and fear

Control your reaction You can’t control what happens to you, but you can control how you react to it...
