Interview Techniques..........

Think about yourself

• It is important before a job interview to think about all the reasons why you are attending it and what you have to offer the organisation. Be ready to discuss both short and long term career goals in general terms.
  

Gaps in CVs

• You will also need to explain gaps in employment. If you worked in a temporary capacity but didn't put it on your CV, know the details of which companies you worked with, what you did for them and the length of the assignments. If you did not work but did search for a job give some examples of the research you did regarding job opportunities and the process you went through to find the position.
  

Reasons for leaving

• Prepare to discuss the reasons you left your previous jobs. If it was for a better opportunity, explain why it was better. If you left involuntarily, present the reason in the most positive light you can. Make sure your responses are honest and be positive.
  

Research the job

Before attending any job interview it is a good idea to research the organisation and familiarise yourself with the following:

• Size of organisation, number of employees.
  
• History, how long have they been operating – do they have any affiliated organisations or belong to an umbrella group?
  
• General information about their services/products/aims etc.
  
• Major competitors or other organisations operating in the same field.
  
• Job description – understand the skills required for the position.
  
• Relationship between the open position and other members of staff - have a sense for the department.
  
• Have some well thought-out questions that would help further your understanding of the organisation e.g. How will the organisation be affected by the new legislation on xyz... or How do you see the organisation developing over the next year/three years?
  
• Feedback to your consultant how you thought the interview went and tell us whether you would be interested in the job if it were to be offered to you.
  

The Principles of Leadership.............

• Know yourself and seek self-improvement - In order to know yourself, you have to understand your be, know, and do, attributes. Seeking self-improvement means continually strengthening your attributes. This can be accomplished through self-study, formal classes, reflection, and interacting with others.
  
• Be technically proficient - As a leader, you must know your job and have a solid familiarity with your employees' tasks.
  
• Seek responsibility and take responsibility for your actions - Search for ways to guide your organization to new heights. And when things go wrong, they always do sooner or later -- do not blame others. Analyze the situation, take corrective action, and move on to the next challenge.
  
• Make sound and timely decisions - Use good problem solving, decision making, and planning tools.
  
• Set the example - Be a good role model. They must not only hear what they are expected to do, but also see.
  
• Know your people and look out for their well-being - Know human nature and the importance of sincerely caring for your workers.
  
• Keep your workers informed - Know how to communicate with not only them, but also seniors and other key people.
  
• Develop a sense of responsibility in your workers - Help to develop good character traits that will help them carry out their professional responsibilities.
  
• Ensure that tasks are understood, supervised, and accomplished - Communication is the key to this responsibility.
  
• Train as a team - Although many so called leaders call their organization, department, section, etc. a team; they are not really teams...they are just a group of people doing their jobs.
  
• Use the full capabilities of your organization - By developing a team spirit, you will be able to employ your organization, department, section, etc. to its fullest capabilities.

Mind Map....

Mind Mapping is a useful technique that improves the way you take notes, and supports and enhances your creative problem solving. By using Mind Maps, you can quickly identify and understand the structure of a subject, and the way that pieces of information fit together, as well as recording the raw facts contained in normal notes.
More than this, Mind Maps encourage creative problem solving, and they hold information in a format that your mind finds easy to remember and quick to review.Mind Maps are more compact than conventional notes, often taking up one side of paper. This helps you to make associations easily. And if you find out more information after you have drawn the main Mind Map, then you can easily add it in.Mind Maps are also useful for:

• Summarizing information.
  



• Consolidating information from different research sources.
  



• Thinking through complex problems.
  



• Presenting information in a format that shows the overall structure of your subject.
