got these from marty nemko, the career counsellor:
resume-
- write resume targetting the specific employer, not the same for every job.
- list not just your skills but even chronologically, they anyway will see through so don’t hide gaps.
- tell 3-4 sentence stories about your skills, how you solved something.
- do a 30-60sec introduction vedio about yourself to be ahead of the pack.
interview-
- for questions you most dread, prepare a good ready answer
- prepare by using PAS stories :problem-approach-resolution.
- show enthusiasm with questions to ask from them [early to tear on further answers] like in this job which ends up being the single most important thing to doing it successfully.
- going in pretend “i’m the best self”. remind to shake off feeling depressed.
- moderately enthusiastic by asking at the end “am really excited about this job,is there anything about me you feel reluctant potentially to hire me”. that gives you a chance to counter any objections they raise.
promotion-
- hitch myself to a star [running into while in elevator or..]“heard great things about you, if you’re going to need extra help, i would like to join you even if its a weekend project.
- doing something core to that organization’s growth like becoming the sale’s person bringing in money.
- professional association to move up myself outside the organization.
