However, a new poll of young adults

conducted by Everest College reveals the

job interview itself poses a major

challenge for those seeking a new

position. Four in 10 respondents (40

percent) said interviewing is the one skill

they need to improve most to land a job,

and nearly half (45 percent) think

speaking skills are one of the most

important attributes hiring managers use

to judge potential candidates.

"In today's tough economy, the job

interview is particularly important for

those just starting their careers, and often

means the difference between landing a

job or going home empty-handed," says

Sean Quinn, regional vice president of

operations for Everest College, a leading

provider of career-oriented diploma

programs in health care, skilled trades

and accounting.

Quinn and Everest College offer the

following tips to ensure that an

interview opportunity ends with a job

offer.

Practice makes perfect

According to Everest's survey, nearly

three of 10 (28 percent) named, "What is

your worst quality?" the most difficult

interview question to answer. Other

tough questions were, "Where would you

like to see yourself professionally in five

years?" (20 percent) and, "What is your

salary requirement?" (19 percent).

“Staying Positive & Creating Hope in a Changing World”

Practice answers to these, as well as other

common inquiries, including "Tell me

about yourself " and, "What skills and

experiences do you bring?" Think of

actual examples and prepare mini-sound

bites to describe your skills.

Be yourself

Although the interview is a great time to

sell yourself to a potential employer, be

careful not to go overboard.

Embellishment may be tempting -

particularly for young graduates - but

employers want to know what you've

really done. Communicate any career

training you have and how it relates to the

position.

"Employers hiring at the entry level are

looking at candidates for potential just as

much as experience," Quinn says.

"Grandiose claims of skills and

qualifications from young candidates are

red flags to employers."

Instead, be yourself, and in cases where

you lack experience, display a willingness

and desire to learn the necessary skills.

Every interaction counts

Anyone you encounter within proximity

to the interview setting can have a direct

influence on its outcome. Having a

positive and respectful attitude creates a

more welcoming environment all around

you and sets you up for success during the

interview.

"Be as courteous as possible to anyone

you meet, whether it's the receptionist,

security guard or parking attendant,"

comments Quinn. "And you never know.

That stranger you meet on the elevator

may turn out to be your interviewer."

Share your past work

A portfolio of past work or testimonials

from previous employers or clients speaks

volumes for your credibility and

dedication to a job. Photography of

output in the skilled trades may help

illustrate the work you're capable of

doing.

Follow-up

Good follow-through is important and

shows a potential employer that a

candidate cares about the opportunity. Be

sure to send a note to everyone who

interviewed you thanking them for their

time and consideration.

Enhance your skills

Many students say that in this tough job

market, their current credentials just

aren't passing the test. If you find yourself

lacking the necessary skills for

employment, it's never too late to

consider furthering your education.

Winning

Like everything else in life resumes are subject to fads. A few short

years ago it was strongly suggested that all job seekers limit their

resumes to one page, even if you’ve had extensive education and

some really impressive positions along your career path. Today

most interviewers will agree it is more important in how the re-

sume flows than how long or short it is.

(ARA) - In today's digital world, a job

applicant's online reputation is becoming

just as important as a strong resume and

networking skills. In fact, a 2010 study

commissioned by Microsoft showed 85

percent of human resources professionals

say that positive online reputation to some

extent influences their hiring decisions and

75 percent report that their companies

have formal policies in place that require

hiring personnel to research applicants

online.

This means successful job seekers need to

build a positive personal brand online by

navigating the Web 2.0 world and taking

advantage of social media sites like

Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and

MySpace.

"What you do and say online, as well as

how you present yourself on social

networking sites could be important in

landing the position you're seeking," says

Bowen Hopper, a former recruiter for

Fortune 1000 companies and currently a

career services director for Colorado

Technical University, a leading provider of

education for career-motivated students.

"Your online presence and brand needs to

reflect your skills, attitude and talents."

For career seekers looking for ways to use

social networking sites and web-based

tools to get an edge in their job search,

Hopper offers these tips:

* Do an online search on yourself. Have

you ever typed your own name into a

search engine like Google or Yahoo? This

is a good starting point to determine what

you'll find about yourself online - and what

first impression you would make on a

recruiter or HR manager who conducts the

same search and may focus on the first five

or six search results. Depending on what

you discover, you can consider making

changes to your profile pages on social

networking sites such as Facebook and

LinkedIn if they don't accurately capture

your professional image and capabilities.

* Use discretion. A simple rule of thumb is

to limit your content on social networking

sites to what you would feel comfortable

having a current or future employer view.

Avoid any inappropriate pictures or

statements on your site (or your friends'

sites) that may be perceived as a negative

reflection of your character. If it's an

option, consider setting your profile to

"private" so that most information can only

be viewed by friends or colleagues of your

choosing. Photo sharing sites like Flickr or

Photobucket should also be closely

monitored since these may be viewed by

more than just the intended audience of

family and friends.

* Consider creating a personal website.

This is an increasingly popular and

relatively inexpensive way to increase

online visibility and searchability for your

skills, experience and qualifications. "A

personal website is a living, breathing

extension of your resume," Hopper says.

Since it's your own website, you can

control and update the content at anytime.

You can get started by reserving a personal

domain name that includes your first and

last name and then using available (and

often free) tools to create and populate

your site with your brief biography, resume,

photo, work samples and links to any

relevant online content about yourself or

associations you belong to.

* Define your personal brand. Just as you

customize your resume and cover note for

specific jobs, the same is necessary when it

comes to creating your personal online

brand. Understand the industry you're

targeting for a position to tailor how you

present yourself online. This can extend to

a personal website or the qualifications

shared on your LinkedIn site.

* Tap into career experts for guidance. If

you're currently attending college or are an

alum, consider utilizing your university's

career services team for additional advice

in creating and managing your personal

online brand as part of your job search and

networking activities. Many universities

offer free career-related webinars or

resources for their students and graduates.

Five ways to put Web 2.0

to work in your career search

Staying positive can be hard in today's world, buthere's one small way to work a little positivity in yourdaily routine. Each day, before you sit down to work,grab a small piece of paper and write a nicethought down about someone you work with. Later,when you see that person, work your positivethought into your conversation. It's a small way ofmaking the world just a little nicer, and it just takes aminute to plan and a short time to deliver.

“What you do and say online, as

well as how you present yourself

on social networking sites could

be important in landing the

position you're seeking.”

If you've decided the time is right for

you to prepare for the health care

industry, you're not alone. Many first-

time job seekers and career changers are

finding opportunities in this rapidly

growing field.

Health care is expected to generate 3.2

million new jobs between now and 2018,

according to the Bureau of Labor

Statistics' Career Guide to Industries,

2010-11 Edition. While that's a national

estimate, and conditions in your location

may vary, that growth is still more than

any other industry - good news for

anyone considering health careers. Most

of those jobs require less than four years

of education, according to the bureau.

If you're starting out in health care,

however, you may find yourself confused

by the sheer number of opportunities -

and the terms those in the industry use to

describe some common jobs. Knowing

something about available opportunities,

and common terms used in health care

fields, can help you get a head start on

your health career training. The health

care industry experts at Sanford-Brown

offer some insight into must-know

terms:

Medical billing

This occupation involves submitting

health insurance claims for health care

services provided by a licensed health

professional. Medical billing requires less

lengthy training than other health

careers.

Allied health professionals

Many people beyond just doctors and

nurses are involved in patient care,

whether directly or in support capacities.

Allied health professionals provide a

range of services, including technical,

therapeutic, support and direct patient

services.

Sonography/sonographer

Sonographers use ultrasound technology

to help doctors examine the function and

integrity of structures within the body,

from tendons and muscles to the heart.

Their work can be very challenging and

requires specific training.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

MRI professionals use sophisticated

technological tools to help doctors obtain

detailed images of internal organs, bones

and other bodily structures; frequently

this includes the brain, heart and

muscles.

Radiography

Technicians who specialize in

radiography use X-rays to help doctors

examine inside the body of a patient.

Dialysis technician

your health career training
