Increasing Your Concentration to Improve Interviewing Performance - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Increasing Your Concentration to Improve Interviewing Performance - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career The ability to focus at will allows an individual to sell themselves more effectively during interviews, to set aside destructive thoughts when engaging with hiring managers and ultimately to pursue career goals with more vigor and accuracy. Attention allows us to retrieve pertinent information from our memory, evaluate an event or hiring manager’s mood, then react accordingly. Needless to say, focus is paramount to any job seeker’s success. However, with the multitude of social media distractions, monetary worries and harsh self-criticism that is more and more prevalent these days, many applicants find themselves stressed out about unrelated incidents prior to commencing an interview. Soon after stepping into this important meeting, the mere stress of being asked unfamiliar questions compounds with outside worries and can quickly unravel a job seekers performance. Investing Your Attention in the Right Directions To realize the importance of focus, it is easiest to think of the brain as no different than the hard drive on your computer. At a single time, a computer can only process so many applications efficiently. The more functions you command it to deal with, the less optimally it will run. Just like your laptop, your nervous system has definite limits on how much information it can process at any given time. Studies have shown that at most the human brain can manage seven bits of data concurrently, and thats usually pushing it. These data measurements can take the shape of sounds we hear, visual stimuli, recognition of emotion, self-judgement, or various thoughts. If you’re not focusing on exactly what the interviewer or recruiter is asking, then you are wasting computer space. Self-Judgement: Public Enemy #1 When an interviewee judges the words they are saying as they speak, they take away their ability to form cohesive, intelligent, compelling thoughts. For most job seekers, one of the main forces that affects consciousness adversely is psychic disorder feelings of pain, jealousy, anxiety or anger. Thinking, “I’ll never get this job,” or “There are much better applicants than me,” or “That was an awful answer” not only negatively alters your mood during a meeting, but also hinders your ability to answer to the fullest extent that you are capable of. Begin reinforcing positive thoughts about yourself. Negative thoughts erode performance. The more positive feelings that pass through a person’s mind, the more attention they can focus on and react to the interviewer’s real-time verbal and non-verbal queues. Key Focus Exercises Everyone gets nervous, tense and/or self-critical during an interview, however only few gain the ability to turn those feelings into productive focus. Below, our recruiters have listed some key ways to do so. 1. Understand that concern and worry (by-products of low self-esteem) eat away at your mental hard drive and can make you oblivious to reality. People with low self-esteem do not see themselves clearly and thus are unable to capitalize on complete focus during an interview. Like a reflection in a warped funhouse mirror, the image they see magnifies their weaknesses and minimizes their assets. Thus, the moment they begin to think about their shortcomings, their ability to answer complex questions begins to deteriorate. Learn to trust yourself by combating those negative thoughts with a positive thought. For instance, every time you think, “this is not a good answer,” replace that with “I am highly intelligent and know what I’m talking about.” 2. Mitigate stress with a few exercises. First, think less about your immediate needs (e.g. the salary you want). Rather, focus your attention on what the interviewer or headhunter is saying, wearing and expressing with their facial movements and body language. When you find yourself getting discouraged, take a deep breath. Draw the air deep into your abdomen so that your diaphragm can stretch and relax. Then, to regain focus, relax your body. Notice and eliminate any tension in your legs and arms, your face, jaw, neck, and shoulders. Additionally, practice the questions you believe you will be asked. It is possible to do several things at once without incurring significant stress, but only if they are things that come somewhat naturally. Practice never makes perfect, but it does relieve stress and the mental capacity needed to answer the necessary inquiries set forth by the hiring manager or recruiter. In the End Attention is our most important tool in the task of improving our interviewing abilities. You dispose a limited budget of attention that you can allocate to activities, and if you stay within your budget, you should see great steps upward in your success rate.

3 Examples of Critical Thinking for the Resume - Algrim.co

3 Examples of Critical Thinking for the Resume - Algrim.co Critical thinking is one of the most desirable soft skills. Along with research skills, adaptability skills, and conceptual skills. Critical thinking takes one of the highlights. The reason this is one of the most desired soft skills is that it shows your future employer that you know how to think on your feet. And that you know how to adapt to business conditions quickly. For example, in many interviews, such as Amazon and Facebook, critical thinking interview questions are often asked. That question is, “How many ping-pong balls fit inside of a standard-sized limousine?” This question is designed to get the interviewer to think on their feet. And while it may seem like a math question, the answer is about how to deduce the potential answer. For example, you won’t know the size of a stand limousine. So you’ll have to guess. And you won’t know the diameter of a ping-pong ball off the top of your head. So you’ll have to guess. And you may have questions like, “Is there a driver inside?” which help show your critical thinking skills. But if this interview question isn’t asked in your interview, how can you show your employer that you have critical thinking skills? It’s easy. You can bring up situational examples in both your resume and cover letter which speak to scenarios where you’ve had to use critical thinking. Table of Contents When Can I Bring This Up In An Interview 3 Examples of Critical Thinking to Use When Can I Bring This Up In An Interview There are many great times to bring up critical thinking situations. For example, one of the best times could be when the interviewer asks you, “What can you bring to this company?” This is a question that gives you a lot of potential avenues. The answer they’re looking for is mostly up to you to decide. And while you should read our guide on answering that interview question specifically, you can surely use a situational example to both answer their question and show off critical thinking. 3 Examples of Critical Thinking to Use Here are five great examples of situations you can show where you had to use critical thinking. Example one “There was a time when a colleague of ours was out of town. And entirely off the grid. We couldn’t contact them. And one of our clients called, asking us to make immediate changes to a part of our website which our colleague was responsible for. We couldn’t do anything, it felt. It seemed like we were stuck. But what we did was actually call our hosting provider and confirmed our account ownership, got access and made changes. This was an idea I had on the spot. The hosting provider was happy to help but it wasn’t an immediate thought of ours to call them.” Example two “I recall last year there was a deadline quickly approaching. And we had a few missing pieces to our work. It mostly illustrative and creative work. One of our freelancers was out of town. And we learned that we missed this work a day or two before the deadline. We had to think quickly. What I did was call all of the illustrators that I knew and asked if they could help us. Out of the five that we called, one could help. And we paid them double for their overtime. This solved the problem.” Example three “I recall last year, it was around the end of Q4, our team started to go into a panic. We lost a lot of data that was part of our annual reporting. We felt crippled, stuck, scared, and didn’t know what to do. This data was essentially financial information. Not private information, but reporting that we needed in order to end the year. We didn’t know what to do. The team needed to act fast. I found a way to recover some of the lost data through a hardware backup that was made on someone’s computer. But it still required us to do a lot of data entry work. So we quickly hired a few virtual assistants to help us with this process and overcame this block. Both the solution of finding the hardware backup and hiring the virtual assistants was a thought I had, that we acted on. The problem was resolved in under 24 hours.” If you're curious about what other skills might be important to bring up in your interview. They would consist of: Research skills Adaptability skills Quantitaitve skills

Steps you need to take in each phase. Milestones showing you that you are ready to move to the next phase. 1)Explorer Start Here: You are stuck and you don’t know what your ideal career is. You are an Explorer if you don’t know what career you want. You lack direction and focus and you are tired of being stuck in a job that doesn’t fit you. You are ready to find your ideal career fit. What is life like at this stage? You may be confused and frustrated at this step. You feel like you are wasting time and are jealous that other people seem to know what they want to be when they grow up. You may regret decisions in the past and be very stressed out at work. You will feel frazzled by your calendar and to-do list and feel like you aren’t in control of your life. You will feel stuck and lost. You’ll feel like you need help finding your dream career and getting focused. You’ll be scared to fail. You’ll feel like you have to stay stuck in work you dislike for the rest of your life. You can’t stand walking into work at your current job. You are not excited about job searching at all. You might be scared you’ll never get hired and never succeed. Steps in the Explorer Phase: Get your productivity plan put in place. Get your mindset ready for success. Conquer your fears. Determine your direction. Put a 90-Day Plan in place. Identify your calling and purpose. Informational interviews completed. Career research completed. Ideal career outline completed. In order to go from Phase 1 to Phase 2: You know what your ideal career is and you are ready to find it. You have completed your career research. You have completed informational interviews. You have a 90-Day Plan in place. Your mindset is ready for success. Your calendar has time blocked out for job searching. 2) Job Searcher You are a Job Searcher if you know what your ideal career is and you are now ready to find it. You are ready to work on your resume and cover letter. You are also ready to apply for jobs, expand your network and practice those interview skills. What is life like at this stage? You will feel like you are on a hamster wheel. You’ll be frustrated not knowing how to network and you’ll feel like there aren’t any jobs available for you. You’ll think your resume is ugly and want to throw your computer out the window while you are online job searching (WHY WON’T IT SAVE!) You’ll be lost as to how to stand out and differentiate yourself and feel like you are banging your head against the window. You’ll have interview anxiety and feel like you aren’t qualified enough for the job you want. You’ll be scared to fail.  You’ll feel like your career options have evaporated. You’ll start to get excited about possibilities and future opportunities, although still be a little scared that you won’t be able to handle it. Steps in the Job Searcher Phase: Strategic Networking action plan in place. Networking barriers conquered. Resume branding strategy in place. Resume and cover letter matches who you are 100%. Get prepared to nail your interviews. Get prepared to negotiate a salary you deserve. Ensure your online reputation matches your personal brand. In order to go from Phase 2 to Phase 3: You have gotten hired at a job you love (and you accepted the offer)! You have celebrated your hard work and accomplishments. You have prepared for your first day at work. You are ready to be wildly successful in the first 90 days of your new dream job! 3) Leader You are a leader if you have a job you love and now want to get ahead and raise the bar. You’re ready to level up your career, get promoted, and achieve the success you know is possible for you. You know you want to make a big impact in the world and you can’t do it where you are at right now. What is life like at this stage? You sometimes have issues speaking up at work and you don’t know how to build a support network or get a mentor. You want to be paid what you deserve and are worried about equal pay issues. You lack female role models and are unsure how to balance having children and your career. You lack confidence in negotiating with men and struggle every day to balance who you want to be professionally with the demands of being a parent. You are scared you’ll never get promoted and be able to manage a team well. You are stuck in a level at work and you know you can rise above it. You have more potential than where you are at right now. Steps in the Leader Phase: Get ready to wow your employer in the first 90 days. Get confident in the work you do and when communicating with your team. Build a tribe around you that supports and mentors you. Learn your strengths and how to lead with your strengths. Delegate all tasks that are not your strengths. Gain respect and negotiation skills. Build a promotion plan and a career development action plan. Grow your tribe and gain mentorship from role models. Utilize the get ahead strategies on a daily basis. In order to graduate from Phase 3 You are making an impact in the world. You are mentoring others and giving back. You are continually learning and gaining new skills. You manage a team and are helping your team become leaders themselves. You are seen as an expert in your field. You are happy, successful, and balanced. Also, note that depending on when you are listening to this, our Love Your Career formula membership community may be open.

Before You Forget, Your Career Needs Amazing Hunters

Before You Forget, Your Career Needs Amazing Hunters How proactively do you go after people who can effectively promote you to others?I’m thinking your priorities are generally elsewhere. Like evaluating which organizations have opportunities that match your skill set. Or getting your report done and submitting it to your boss on time. Or thinking about the job you would really like to have in the next few years.I don’t suspect you spend a ton of time identifying and proactively seeking out people who will actively support you to others. I’m talking about friends, colleagues, network connections and recruiters.What you want from these groups is a number of trusted allies that will hunt for you.Because successful careers are never built by you alone. Communities create success because they have the power and influence to do so.And they exert different perspectives around the single purpose of supporting someone to achieve lofty personal goals.You don’t want people who will leisurely pass your resume around or passively mention y our name to others.What you DO want are hunters that will actively seek out opportunities that are made for you? People who will scout the landscape and discover potential for you.Who will go out of their way to generate some sizzle on your behalf.How many hunters do you have?A hunter clearly give a great deal of themselves to spread your word and build a stage on which you can strut your wares in front of a favourable audience.If you don’t have devoted hunters on your side, cultivate a handful of them (that’s all you need).Hunters are earned on the back of integrity and trust; they don’t commit overnight. So be prepared to put in the time building deep relationships with each and every one of them and eventually you may convince them you are worthy of their attention and support.And when you do, point them in the right direction.Get your thinking straight about the position you wantand the companies you are targeting. Don’t give then some vague notion of what you want to ac hieve; be as specific as you can to make their task as easy as it can be.Feed the right information to them and trust they will hunt for you.And when they come back to you with a potential prize throw your entire being into turning the opportunity they gifted to you into a solid win. Put as much energy into it as they did.Show them you are deserving of their voluntary hunting role.A hunter is rare.Honour and nurture them.

What Do I Do When My Spouse Doesnt Want Me To Make Changes - Kathy Caprino

What Do I Do When My Spouse Doesnt Want Me To Make Changes Welcome to Episode #7 of my weekly video blog Work You Love! Today, Im addressing Evelyns question about how to handle an unsupportive spouse who resists your making the changes you long to in your career. Evelyn asks: “I want career coaching now, however my husband is not a supporter.   Im at a point where I want to start and own my own business but he is very risk averse and doesnt want to intentionally gamble with the idea. I am in a rut, Im exhausted and I want to get re-energized and once again know that the work I do matters or offers me satisfaction. I am a middle manager in my career but also a wife, mother, community leader, active church member who feels like her job is sucking the life out of her. My husband thinks because of the uncertainty of times I should be happy I have a job that pays 6 figures, and I appreciate that, but I know that if I dont figure out my career, reinvent myself or do something Im going to burn out completely and my career reputation will be ruined. Do you have any pointers that would help me convince my husband to believe you could help me improve my career outlook and pull me back from the edge of career suicide. He thinks it’s a waste of our hard earned money for no real gain.” Heres my take: The key messages from todays post are: 1) Dont try to convince your spouse.   Just communicate powerfully, authoritatively, and masterfully that you cant continue the way you are.   Share in a compelling way that its time to make some form of positive change, and youd like his/her support to do it.   But remember you dont need permission to take control of your life. 2) Figure out how important this career shift is to you now.   If its critical, prioritize it highly, and do what it takes to create the changes you long for. 3) Remember you dont have to risk everything to bring about the shifts you need to be happier in your career. Heres a tweetable for you: CLICK TO TWEET: Become the master of your own ship. Don’t let others dictate what you need, and what you can have.   @kathycaprino #WorkYouLove It’s up to you â€" no one can do this for you. Does your spouse support you in making the changes you desire in life and work?   How do you handle it? Share your candid thoughts below.

Tips For Categorizing Categorized Information

Tips For Categorizing Categorized InformationFor the layman, clerical resume writing can be very confusing. There are a lot of things to consider when doing this kind of writing. In the past, there weren't that many options for clerical resume writing, and it used to be that you'd get an outline with the specific job details. Nowadays, though, it's been done much differently.When writing a resume you want to make sure that your resume is strong. This means that it should focus on what you've done for your current employer, how you'll be useful to them, and what they're looking for. You also want to focus on your skills and qualifications as a potential employee. The best way to do this is to write your resume by taking notes.All you need is a free software like Notepad or Word that can store all of your information. Once you know the general job titles you'll be applying for, use that to help you write your resume. You can write it in bullet points, or just write it all out.One of th e most important things to consider when writing a resume is to keep it to one page. A lot of people have to cram a lot of information into one page. Using free software is always a good idea, but when you do use the software it needs to be one page. Doing it on two or three pages will be far too hard to read.Once you've written out your information, then all you need to do is format it so that it's easier to read. When you're formatting it in Notepad or Word, you can start with the header, or what is known as the title bar, on the left side of the page. It should say the name of the company, your name, your current position, your current employer, and any other information that you think might be of help to your prospective employer. Then you can put down the summary, which will tell the reader a little bit about you and your career.When you have all of your information in your free software, then you can just take down what you wrote and move it onto your blank sheet of paper. Aga in, Notepad or Word works best, but you don't have to use one of those programs. The important thing is that you have a way to type your information into.Your resume isn't the only way that employers need to see your work history. They may want to see examples of your past work. There are many different samples that they may need to look at, and the samples are just that: examples.If you have a computer, printer, and paper, then you can go ahead and write your resume, and submit it to employers as soon as possible. If you don't have a computer or printer, you can use a notepad or Word program, which can be found online. Try not to worry about spelling or grammar, because it will all come with practice. Once you get the hang of this, it will come much more naturally.
