<title><![CDATA[The number one goal for a job interview: avoid self-sabotage]]></title>
<link>http://www.riversiderecruitment.co.uk/fxmodules/page.php?page=list-type.php&amp;typeid=69&amp;id=68</link>
<description><![CDATA[This is a great read taken from&nbsp;The Recruiter&nbsp;Magazine

Purely for the purposes of enlightenment, here are my worst interview howlers &ndash; with the lesson learnt added (much later, of course):

1. Disabling behaviour: Early for one interview near Covent Garden, I thought I had time for a cigarette (being a teenage smoker). But I needed a light, so asked this professional-looking gentlemen walking by. He looked an unlikely smoker and couldn&rsquo;t help, but he did turn out to be my interviewer. He was also unimpressed at me revealing myself as a bit of a street ruffian, and I failed to land the job.

Lesson: rein in the oikish behaviour long before the interview door. In fact, rein it in fullstop &ndash; you are now entering professional life.

2. Disabling CVs: Under &rsquo;interests&rsquo; on my CV was the word &rsquo;politics&rsquo;, something my interviewer (for a holiday job with a logistics company) found troubling. &ldquo;As long as you don&rsquo;t bring it to work,&rdquo; he said. At best he thought I&rsquo;d bore him silly on the overnight trip to Aberdeen. At worst that I&rsquo;d be a trouble maker. In fact, I was doing a politics degree at the time, so why did I need to list it as an interest?

Lesson: Self-sabotage goes beyond what you say. Why list off putting hobbies that may have your interviewer wondering about your commitment? Being a DJ is a favourite I see these days, suggesting late nights and illegal substances.

3. Arguing: A crucial post-university interview with the well-known editor of a national newspaper. This was my Bud Fox moment, so why did I get into an argument with him about his paper failing to cover a pointless and long-forgotten protest march in my university city of Manchester? I thought I was impressing him with my news sense. In fact, I was forcing him on the defensive.

Lesson: You are not there to win, but to win people over &ndash; remember that. 

4. Assuming prejudice: Left in a meeting room for an interviewer to arrive, I waited with increasing frustration until he tripped in late apologising for the fact he was &ldquo;the wrong side of a bottle of claret&rdquo;. In fact his jollity continued as he disregarded my CV and said &ldquo;forget all that, tell me: what school did you go to?&rdquo; He was obviously posh, so I resented the question and let it show. He ended the interview soon after.

Lesson: Why assume the prejudice? If there&rsquo;s genuine prejudice you&rsquo;re doomed anyway, but the chances are you&rsquo;re being overly-sensitive. My interviewer was simply looking for a connection. Rapport is important in an interview: don&rsquo;t reject it when it&rsquo;s offered on a plate.

5. Exaggerating: Another summer job &ndash; this one as a driver, via an agency. In fact, the interview went something like this: &ldquo;Drive that to Edmonton, now. There&rsquo;s a map in the cab&rdquo;. Yet the truck was so terrifyingly large I couldn&rsquo;t believe I could legally drive it. I got as far as the first roundabout &ndash; panicked &ndash; parked up (illegally) and fled home. The agency never rang me again.

Lesson: Don&rsquo;t lie about your skills and experiences. You&rsquo;ll get caught out. Mild exaggerations are fine, but saying you can do something you patently can&rsquo;t is setting yourself up for a nasty reckoning.

6. Clever comments: Asked to introduce myself at a mass interview for a brewer-turned-leisure company I decided to play on the fact I knew the brewing side had been sold by stating I could tell the difference in the taste of the beer. What utter rubbish! The way the beer was brewed hadn&rsquo;t changed one jot from the way it had always been brewed &ndash; as all the wizened company executives in the room well knew. My &rsquo;clever&rsquo; comment meant I got no further in the process.

Lesson: A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. Do your research about the company, and never offer insight that&rsquo;s anything other than 100% fact.

So what can be done to stop self-sabotage in job interviews? In fact, that&rsquo;s the easy bit. Candidates must remember that, on paper (and assuming they haven&rsquo;t over-exaggerated), they are qualified for the post &ndash; hence the interview. They are now being assessed on everything apart from their qualifications (although these may be tested for veracity). It&rsquo;s the soft skills that matter now, meaning that they should:

Be smart. I&rsquo;ve had people turn up for interviews in jeans or scuffed shoes, or in need of a haircut or &ndash; most commonly (for men) &ndash; without shaving. Handing the interviewer such an obvious signal they are lazy and disorganised or &ndash; at best (or possibly worst) &ndash; have attitude, is suicide. The man who spotted me smoking didn&rsquo;t care that I smoked. He cared that I projected myself so poorly in public.

Agree with them. Sorry, they have a queue of people out the door and they are not going to take on the person that finds fault. They don&rsquo;t want to hear &rsquo;clever&rsquo; views about what they are doing wrong, but what they are doing right. Even if they ask you directly: &ldquo;What&rsquo;s wrong with us?&rdquo; &ndash; avoid the trap, or just add a layer &ndash; something like &ldquo;I&rsquo;d hope to take what you do much further&rdquo;. Flattery is also a good way to overcome any awkward pauses, though it is better to be articulate and descriptive rather than just gushing. &nbsp;

Tell the truth. Most interviewers can spot a &rsquo;porky&rsquo; from 100 paces. So while a mild exaggeration if fine &ndash; no more than putting a shiny gloss on actual achievements &ndash; any out-and-out lies will be quickly exposed, resulting in almost certain rejection. As stated, candidates will broadly have what&rsquo;s needed or they wouldn&rsquo;t have got the interview: so piling on fantasy levels of experience can only harm their chances.

Get the body language right. This is an intense assessment based on our every facet. So facial expressions, posture and gestures all matter enormously. Candidates should be attentive (but not intense), alert and engaged. Constant head bobbing, grinning or exaggerated hand usage should all be contained. Eye contact is good but staring is bad. Mirroring is good but freaking them out is obviously bad. Taking notes is good (and helps prevent overdoing both the eye contact and mirroring) but writing verbatim will rouse suspicions.

Don&rsquo;t be yourself. Lastly, candidates should ignore all previous advice containing homilies such as &rsquo;be yourself&rsquo; or &rsquo;just relax&rsquo;. This may be good advice for a date, but it&rsquo;s a disaster for a job interview. Being relaxed can make people look smug and arrogant, which is fine for a popstar or super model but a disabling quality in other careers. Meanwhile, being a little nervous indicates that you&rsquo;re taking the opportunity seriously. As for candidates &rsquo;being themselves&rsquo; &ndash; fine, as long as they are bright, diligent, attentive, confident and committed. If not, their best tactic may be to fake it &ndash; within limits of course!

<title><![CDATA[Types of Interview]]></title>
<link>http://www.riversiderecruitment.co.uk/fxmodules/page.php?page=list-type.php&amp;typeid=69&amp;id=63</link>
<description><![CDATA[A typical job interview is one-on-one between a candidate for employment and a hiring manager.&nbsp; The interviewer will ask questions about the applicant's experience and skills, as well as about work history, availability, and the personal attributes the company is seeking in the person they will&nbsp;hire for the job.
Behavioral based interviewing is interviewing based on discovering how the interviewee acted in specific employment-related situations. The logic is that how you behaved in the past will predict how you will behave in the future i.e. past performance predicts future performance.
&nbsp;
A panel job interview takes place when an applicant for employment is interviewed by a panel - or group - of interviewers. There may be one candidate and multiple interviewers, multiple candidates and one interviewer, or several candidates and several interviewers.
&nbsp;
Employers use phone interviews&nbsp;as a way of identifying and recruiting candidates for employment. Phone interviews are often used to screen candidates in order to narrow the pool of applicants who will be invited for in-person interviews.
&nbsp;
A screening interview is a type of job interview that is conducted to determine if the applicant has the qualifications needed to do the job for which the company is hiring. A screening interview is typically the first interview in the hiring process.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[At Riverside Recruitment we understand the recruitment process, after all it&rsquo;s what we do, day in day out, for the past 20 years.
&nbsp;
By understanding your businesses and staffing needs, we&rsquo;ll only introduce quality candidates who will add value to your business and who offer the skills and attributes you need.
&nbsp;
We&rsquo;re trained in the skills of interviewing and screening candidates and with access to a larger pool of candidates than any other agency in the area, we can talk to ones that don&rsquo;t know about your company or who have never considered working for you.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
We also have strong relationships with passive job seekers who may be a better fit for your business than those who happen to read the job papers or numerous online job boards!
&nbsp;
To find out more how Riverside Recruitment can help you in recruiting the right candidate for your business, please call 01228 590800 or e:mail <a href="mailto:jude.pollard@riversiderecruitment.co.uk">jude.pollard@riversiderecruitment.co.uk</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;

<link>http://www.riversiderecruitment.co.uk/fxmodules/page.php?page=list-type.php&amp;typeid=69&amp;id=49</link>
<description><![CDATA[Barnardo&rsquo;s is stepping up efforts to help people secure the skills and know-how they need to land jobs and potentially transform their fortunes.

The charity&rsquo;s work club at its community house on Welsh Road, Harraby, has started as the latest Government figures showed the county&rsquo;s unemployment total rose by 308 in the past month.
Barnardo&rsquo;s is confident its work in Carlisle can make a difference.
Community development officer Mags Moorhead said: &ldquo;It will be an exciting opportunity for many in the city. We&rsquo;ve been taking referrals from the Job Centre but it is for any of our service users and anyone in the areas we serve.
&ldquo;They can come and access it.&rdquo;
The club is currently a weekly drop-in session between 10am and noon on Wednesdays, but there are plans to extend it after the summer.

<description><![CDATA[So, you wake up bright and early on the morning of August 18th. After you've had your breakfast, you set off out to collect your results. But hang on, you need to take a few things with you!

Mobile phone (charged and topped up)
Pen/pencil
Writing paper/notepad
Calculator (in case something goes wrong and your modules aren't added up)
Results slips from AS (ditto, and also in case you need to phone a uni and plead you can say &quot;but I got X on these modules&quot;)
UCAS/uni letter (so you've got all your info including UCAS number handy, and also so you don't panic thinking &quot;was my offer AAAA or AAAa&quot;)
Copy of personal statement and your reference if you have it
Contact details for your referee (and if you think it's likely you'll go into Clearing permission from your referee to pass on their details to universities)
Cheque book, for bribing university admissions staff... Obviously not, you will however need it to pay for any re-marks you need doing and the sooner they are sent off the better.
