Strategy: Demonstrate your knowledge of the position requirements and emphasize some of your own strengths as being important for the position. Sample answer: “I know that you would need someone with an excellent understanding of accounting principles in a non-profit environment. In addition to the knowledge gained in the classroom, it would be helpful to have some on-the-job and internship experience in the field. I would also want someone who is a team player, dependable and has a “can-do” attitude.” 3. Do you feel that your grades are a good indicator of your ability? Why this question is being asked: To understand if you reached your full potential and if not, why. Strategy: If you did not receive straight A’s, explain how you could have improved and why you didn’t meet your potential. Sample answer: “I do believe that I had the ability to get an A in each class and since I did not, my GPA does not reflect my full capabilities. There were some missteps I made along the way, such as concentrating on the wrong areas before the test. I learned from my mistakes and improved. I think that the grades in my junior and senior years more fully reflect my capabilities.” 4. What do you like best about your school?

Do you apply the skills and knowledge learned at school in your work? Why this question is being asked: To understand what additional skills you have that would be valuable in the workplace. Strategy: Focus on the relevant knowledge and skills you learned in the classroom. Sample answer: “Yes, I was given a very solid foundation of understanding accounting principles that I utilize regularly as part of my job. Additionally, I learned some of the soft skills necessary to succeed in a work environment such as teamwork and communication skills.” 6. How do you think [name of your school]’s reputation is viewed when it comes to hiring? Why this question is being asked: To learn how much you think the reputation of a school will help you to get a job versus having to prove yourself. Strategy: Explain that while you the think that the name of a school has value for getting noticed, that the individual is the one that will be responsible for getting the job. Sample answer: “[name of your school] does have a great reputation and having that name on my resume was probably helpful for getting the interview but it is up to the person to prove themselves. I believe that you really have to hire based on the candidate and not on the school.” 7. What is the best educational preparation for this career? Why this question is being asked: To learn what you feel would be the best way to be prepared to enter the field. Strategy: Emphasize what preparation you already have as the essential preparedness for the field, whether it be formal education, informal learning or on the job experience. Sample answer: “I feel that there is no better preparation than learning on the job. This is why I completed 3 internships in the field to learn more about the culture and expectations of the field as well as to prove myself.” Free Bonus If you want a handy job interview resource that you can keep on your smartphone or print out for easy reference, I’ve got a special bonus for you.

Motherhood Update Coming Back After Maternity Leave - Classy Career Girl

Motherhood Update Coming Back After Maternity Leave I’m officially coming back from maternity leave starting next week! I’ve been doing a lot of resting and relaxing these past three months but I haven’t been able to stop my brain and the ideas are flowing! I am pumped to get back with you all and share my discoveries over the past few months with you. Hope you don’t mind my little side-kick baby. She’s super cute and I am soaking up every minute! ?? FUN FACT: One of my membership sites, Corporate Rescue Plan, was created 4 years ago when my first daughter was this age, 3 months. Today we have over 500 members and hundreds of women have launched their business dreams because of it. I’m excited for you all to see what else I’m giving birth to over the next few monthsall inspired by taking time off and 3 AM pumping sessions. Ive been getting a lot of questions on Instagram about coming back from maternity leave and work-life balance so I wanted to answer them for you in this blog post: How long was your maternity leave? 12 weeks. I originally planned for only 6 weeks but then I read this blog post from Kate Northrup and realized I could make it a lot longer if I wanted to. Sometimes as entrepreneurs we forget that we are in charge of our schedules. A 6-week maternity leave was what I was planning because thats the normal amount here in the US and what I would have had at my old company if I was still working. Kates post inspired me to create a maternity leave that was best for me and my family. I love how she recommended giving yourself more space than you think you’ll need because I was nowhere near ready to be back at work at 6 weeks. How did you plan out a 3-month maternity leave and still keep your business running? There were two things that I had to sort out for my leave, consistent content for my blog/podcast and consistent content for my membership sites. I wanted it to appear like I was never gone and was still providing value to my audience. This required a lot of planning ahead. Of course, I used my 90-day planner to create a 90-day plan that involved a lot of batching. Podcast: For the podcast, I started scheduling a lot of interviews. Every Tuesday, I interviewed 4 women so that I could create enough content to take me through the end of November. My due date was August 4th so I didnt want to have to stress about creating content for a good, long time after the baby arrived. My virtual assistant helped me pre-schedule all the podcasts so everything was set up before Sienna was born. Membership site: I made a decision to automate a lot of the content and streamline it so that members started getting emails every week that were specific to the phases that they were at in their career. For example, if someone is just starting a business, I wanted them to get information on what type of business to start, rather than scaling your business with Facebook ads (which would immediately overwhelm them). So, in April, I spent a week writing a ton of emails for each phase of our membership site so that we could automate the emails and it wouldnt require me to write an email each week during maternity leave. Ultimately, this was best for our members and its been on my to-do list for a long time. It was perfect that maternity leave planning forced me to sit down and make it happen. How will you work with the new baby? My personal preference is to work a lot in the mornings, evenings and naptimes rather than use childcare early on. My husband and I switch off watching the kids and my mother is also nearby so she can help out some too. My 4-year old daughter is in pre-school for a few hours three times per week so that is the biggest chunk of time I get to focus. Ill be doing a lot of work with a baby napping on me and I will make it work. These times go by so quickly and my priority really is my kids right now. I know my purpose is to be a mom and I also have a purpose to help other women. When my first daughter was 3 months I almost quit my business because I was failing at both. But, I realized that giving myself that space to write a blog post or answer a readers question made me happier and more fulfilled. The days I didnt have that interaction of helping others, I felt lost and sad. So I know that balancing these two things that I was born to do is the right thing now.  I also did a lot of work years ago setting up this life and work situation so that I could do both of these things easier and better right now. Never forget how much those 15-minute increments TODAY can add up in helping you achieve your dream life someday! Honestly, my work-life is a little jumbled and sometimes stressful. I dont have a ton of focus time which is what I love. Its not easy and sometimes I complete things in 20-minute increments during the day. I have offers for childcare on my phone and I could easily take them tomorrow. I dont really want to. Im not ready. Its my daughters last year before kindergarten and I want to spend afternoons with her. So I dont have a good answer for this question because I dont have a working schedule yet. I just keep my priorities front and center and am not afraid to say no right now to things that arent my priorities. I will sleep a little less than normal and make the most of my early mornings before my kids and husband wake up. I will figure it out and if I need help, I know I can always ask for it. What are you working on now that you are back? Lots of exciting stuff!! During leave, Ive had so many ideas and projects Ive been thinking about. One that we are seriously taking action on right when I return is launching our first physical product! Well be coming out with the physical version of our 90-day planner next month which is a dream come true. Im also doing a re-brand of Classy Career Girl to make it fit a little more of where we are headed today (not three years ago). I also have a new year planning course that I want to launch before the end of the year. Can you tell taking time off is a really good thing for me? THIS WEEK: I have something special I am doing this week to kick-off my return from maternity leave. Im hosting a 5-day Instagram Planning Challenge. Im doing this because Instagram is something I really struggle with myself and I have heard that so many others are struggling with it right now too. Dont get me wrong, I love Instagram and our Classy Career Girl Instagram is doing great. We just passed 30,000 followers! But, I really want to focus on growing my personal Instagram account, @annarunyan.  Thats what I am going to focus on during our Instagram Planning Challenge with members of Corporate Rescue Plan. Doors have been closed for a while and will only open for 2 days.    And, you can join us for the challenge for 7 days for only $7 here before Monday at 11:59 pm  PST. How is life with 2 little children? I want to have two but I am not sure how people handle it!   Honestly, its the best. My 4-year old is such a great big sister and the way she interacts and loves her sister makes me so happy every single day. Theres a lot more to pack when we leave the house and my days pass incredibly fast but its so fun. Motherhood is much easier the second time around because I know more about what to expect. I love being a mom and I love the freedom and flexibility I have as an entrepreneur. I think life could be very different if I made some different choices 8 years ago but because I started this blog and focused on growing a business I love, my days are pretty great. [RELATED: Motherhood Update: One Month] I am taking much better care of myself this time around and taking time to make sure I eat healthy and go to the gym. I didnt do this last time and I believe that this has made a huge difference in my overall happiness and mental health as a second-time mom! Ive been following the Fitness Carli Meal Plan and I hired a Personal Trainer at the gym as well as do Kayla Itsines BBG  at home during naps on days that I cant get to the gym. Its a priority right now and I make the time even if that means 9 pm workouts (which really suck but I had to do once and hopefully never again). How will you manage your career and work-life balance? By saying no to pretty much everything and only focusing on my priorities. I am super strict on using my 90-day system I have created in my 90-day planner and reviewing my weekly and daily goals. Without my system, Id be lost. I put important stuff on my calendar like going ice skating with my daughter or going on her class field trips. Balance is something I always am working towards. I have good days and bad days but each day I try again. I am very aware of my happiness and fulfillment level so if something is making me unhappy and stressed at home or at work, I figure out what it is and how I can improve it. If something is causing me stress, I will try to either delegate it to someone else or just get rid of it entirely. Our brand is focused on helping all women have career fulfillment. That means I have to set the example of being happy and fulfilled in the work I do too and in my personal life too since my husband and I run Classy Career Girl together. How do you manage to get enough energy for all the things you have to do? I always have energy when I am doing work that excites me. Right now, creating a physical planner that I have been dreaming about for two years is so exciting. Waking up to work on it isnt hard. The times I dont have energy are when I am doing work I dont like to do. I try to do the things that need the most energy first thing in the morning. My days are filled with coffee and I often take naps. Working out and eating healthy has definitely helped me maintain my energy these last few months and do all the things that I have to do. What do you do if you are in the middle of the important task and the kids need your attention? Usually, I stop that task and help them. I dont ever take phone calls or do Facebook Lives when they are around since I know I would lose my concentration if one of them needed my attention. If I am working on something that has a deadline, I will leave and go to a coffee shop and leave my kids with their dad or grandma. But, this doesnt happen often. My #1 strength on the Strengthsfinder is Focus so this time is incredibly important for me. I find focus in the early mornings before my kids are awake most days. Im also not taking any phone calls right now except very important ones and rarely doing Facebook Lives until I have a better handle on this working mom of two role I now play. If you have any questions about motherhood or work-life balance, please leave them in the comments!

Company Party Etiquette 10 Things to Know

Company Party Etiquette 10 Things to Know If you’re new to the professional world, or if you’ve just started a new job, there aren’t many events more anxiety-inducing than an upcoming company party. These gatherings tend to carefully toe the line between “personal” and “professional,” putting you in an office setting with your coworkers while still demanding you to relax, have fun, and be yourself. Learning how to navigate that line with grace and tact is important if you want to make the best impression, but don’t fretâ€"the line is easier to walk than you might think. Types of Parties and Gatherings First, let’s go over some of the types of parties and gatherings you might see in your company: Private gatherings. If your boss invites you and a few coworkers over for a dinner at their house, it’s a private gathering. These tend to be more casual, but also demand different etiquette. Employee appreciation. These events are things like Christmas parties or company dinners, designed to reward and celebrate employees. They’re intended to be relaxing, but still professional. Corporate milestones. Corporate events, including award ceremonies and celebrations of milestones, tend to be more professional in nature. Client appreciation. Client appreciation parties are attempts to forge a better connection with clients. They require professionalism, yet personality. Teambuilding events. Teambuilding events range from formal to casual, but tend to be fairly personal events designed to bond employees together. Practical Etiquette Tips Now for some tips that will help you survive: RSVPâ€"but try to show up. If you’ve been invited to a company event, you should do your best to show up (barring emergencies or highly important events in your personal life). Either way, make sure you RSVP early and accurately, so you don’t interfere with party planning. Dress appropriately. Event dress codes can be difficult to guessâ€"especially if you’re new to this company’s culture. The nature of the event, the size and scope of the audience, and the company’s history and culture all play a role in deciding what’s right here. If you’re in doubt, ask someone you trust who’s been to an event like this before, and if the dress code is still in question, err on the side of formality. Know what to bring. You probably won’t have to bring anything to a client appreciation party or teambuilding event, but don’t show up empty-handed to a private gathering. Bring a bottle of wine, a dish to share, or a host/hostess gift to show your appreciation. Eat and drink with others. Try to match what others are eating and drinking. If your boss stops after one drink, have one drink. If people are getting just one plate at the buffet, stop at one plate. Standing out could damage your reputation, however slightly. Restrain yourself. Don’t let the after-hours environment allow you to get too comfortable. Telling an inappropriate joke, getting too raucous, or engaging in questionable behaviorâ€"even at a partyâ€"could be bad for you. But be personable. At the same time, don’t treat this like a corporate meeting. Share personal stories, laugh with other people, and try to forge some new personal connectionsâ€"especially at a client party. This is your chance to get to know people you might otherwise never interact with. Go out of your way to mingle with your coworkers and clients; you’d be surprised what opportunities for advancement you can find here. Watch the time. For most parties, it’s expected for you to show up fashionably late. But for most corporate events, it’s better that you be on time. You also shouldn’t be the first to leave; watch others to set expectations on how long to stay. Show appreciation. Show your host, bosses, or coworkers your gratitude for the chance to attend the event; the smaller the event is, the most important this is. Come to work the next day. If you call off work the day after an event, or show up late, people will think you’ve partied too hard or acted irresponsibly the night before. Come to work on time and prevent this from affecting your reputation. You’re not going to get fired for making a small mistake, nor are people going to think less of you for one small deviation from the norm, so try not to sweat your first big corporate event. Once you’ve been to a few, you’ll be more confident in your company’s culture, and you won’t have to think so hard about how to dress, talk, and act around others. In the meantime, these simple rules and suggestions can help you land a more powerful impression, and more importantly, help you feel confident and comfortable in what is otherwise an intimidating environment.

On the Job by Anita Bruzzese Why HR and IT Need to Make Peace

On the Job by Anita Bruzzese Why HR and IT Need to Make Peace When IT has an unfilled opening, the entire organization feels it. Projects stall, daily processes slow and productivity drops. Thats why human resources often kicks into overdrive to try andfill IT positions as quickly as possible. They know that technology is so deeply ingrained into every department that its critical for the bottom line to get IT running as smoothly and quickly as possible. Unfortunately, filling a position in IT often becomes a lengthy and messy process, says Chris Brown, vice president of human resources for West Unified Communications in Chicago. For example, some HR people lack the technical knowledge to recruit the right IT candidate or may not understand how this person needs to function in IT and cast too widely for candidates. On the other hand, IT typically more than any other department, wants more interviews of candidates, and that can slow down the process, he says. IT can be very risk averse. They fear making decisions, and may distrust any possible hire who they dont already have a connection to, Brown says. Or, they may say about a candidate, We love this guy! . Got anymore? Difficulty in filling open IT slots is just one of the issues that can make HR and IT seem at odds with one another. The problems are not new: a 2006studyof the IT and HR relationship found that IT employees were concerned that if they get on the wrong side of HR, their careers could be in trouble really quickly, and HR would always get even if IT didnt play the game the way HR wanted.

A Visual Guide to Running the Best Meetings Ever - CareerMetis.com

A Visual Guide to Running the Best Meetings Ever According to a study in MIT Sloan Management Review, the executive-level staff is currently spending almost 23 hours a week in meetings, more than double what they would have spent in the 1960s.Clearly some of these meetings must be important, but do they have to take up quite so much time that could be spent so much more productively?Another survey found that 71% of senior managersfound meetings to be unproductive and inefficient, so there’s certainly a willingness amongst staff even at the highest levels to improve the way they work.evalThe Business Backer has tried to help out, coming up with a visual guide to meetings that are focused and productive, based on these 9 tips.1) Review the agendaInstead of getting straight into the meeting, take some time at the start to review what has been planned, to make sure anything that needs to be changed or added can be done at this stage rather than trying to shoehorn it in later. If this is the case, any non-essential items can be identi fied and removed or postponed, avoiding overrunning the meeting or missing out on something important.2) Make the desired outcomes clearWe’ve all sat in meetings where we are unclear what the point of it is, more often than care to admit. To avoid this, each item on the meeting agenda should have a ‘purpose’ section, showing what it is meant to achieve.3) Set time limitsThe main reason so many meetings run on later than they should is that there is no control placed on how long each item should take. This makes it very hard for whoever is in charge of the meeting to keep the timing under control, so each item should have a time allocated to it in the agenda.4) Be specificA meeting agenda is no place for vague language, so make sure that any instructions and processes are laid out in the clearest possible terms, so there can be no doubt what is required.5) Allocate responsibilityEach item on the agenda requires someone to given responsibility for it, so that they can take owner ship and prepare for it in advance instead of being expected to make it up on the spot or have to delay the item until a future meeting.6) PrioritizeThe order of the meeting should be done, where possible, in order of priority, so the most important items come first and the least important are towards the end. This means that if some items do take longer than expected, the meeting doesn’t end before a critical issue has been discussed.7)Ask questionsevalDrive the focus of each item on your agenda by formulating it as a question. This will ensure that the item is specifically about solving a particular problem, and cannot be diverted onto another topic altogether during a wide-ranging discussion.8)Make it easy to scanWhen you send out your agenda beforehand, a real priority has to be getting people to actually read it. The chances are that your email will arrive while they’re busy or distracted, so the onus is on you to make sure it’s easy to scan and short enough that people w on’t be put off from reading.9) End with an evaluationYou started the meeting by looking at what would be covered and you set out the clear outcomes, so it makes sense to conclude proceedings with a quick evaluation of how the meeting went and what could be improved next time.If you start applying these tips to your meetings, you will see them becoming much more focused and productive, cutting out the vague and aimless discussions, saving time and getting more accomplished.

Tips for Landing a Seasonal Job - CareerEnlightenment.com

Consider a Specialized JobYou may not think about taxes in November, but tax services like Jackson Hewitt and HR Block do. They begin interviewing and hiring temporary tax preparers long before tax season. And, they offer training programs so that you don’t need to have any prior experience or qualifications in order to apply.Inquire at Entertainment VenuesEntertainment venues such as zoos and arboretums often host holiday events that require extra help. You may be able to land a seasonal job in security, ticket taking, serving, etc. in one of these locations, or in a museum that sees more traffic as students enjoy their holiday break.Another entertainment venue that often hires seasonal help is movie theaters. Typically, blockbusters and family movies are released during the holiday season, and families spend more time together during the holidays as well. This translates to more ticket sales at the movies, so you could be hired to work the refreshment stand, to take tickets, or t o clean up after moviegoers this holiday season.Consider Working From HomeThere has been a big boom in working from home lately, and seasonal workers can enjoy working from home, too. Customer service organizations and call centers typically get much more traffic during the holiday season, and companies need to hire virtual seasonal workers to handle the demand. Some people prefer these seasonal jobs because of the flexible hours, lack of physical work, and career potential.If you aren’t having much luck after asking about open seasonal jobs or submitting applications, don’t be afraid to follow up and be persistent. Other seasonal workers may leave positions if they don’t like their jobs, and businesses often need to hire more seasonal help after the first round of hires. Follow these tips, keep at it, and you’ll land a seasonal job of your own.
