Your "Hired!"

Welcome to our brand new information hub, "Hired!". Each month we are going to present you with the most cutting-edge tips, best practices, and information to help you take the next step in your career.
Spring Clean Your Job Search

Spring is here--time to pack up your sweaters, clean the windows, weed those flower beds...and overhaul your job search!

Like your wardrobe, home or garden, your search for the perfect position will yield better results if you give it a good cleaning every once in a while.

Interviewing Tip  of the Month
Interviewing Tip of the Month: Practice Makes Perfect

Don't make an April Fool of yourself in your next interview! Practice your answers to common interview questions, enlisting a friend's help if necessary. At a minimum, you should have the answers to questions like these down pat. You'll walk into your interview more poised, prepared and darn near perfect:
  • How would you describe yourself?
  • What is your greatest strength or weakness?
  • How do you define success?
  • Why do you want to work here?
  • Why should we hire you?
