Elevator Pitch Secrets

Some industries require a different approach than the general elevator pitch. For example, if you’re in a service industry — therapist, coach, consultant, etc. — one of the easiest ways to answer the question “What do you do?” is to take the spotlight off you and put it onto your clients. This focuses the conversation on what you do for your clients and what they get from working with you.

Job Interviews: Best & Worst Times

When is the best time to schedule your interview? The easy answer is whenever it works for the interviewer! After all, that’s the goal — to get the interview and the job offer.

But what if you are offered a choice of dates and times for the interview?  Is it better to be the first person interviewed? Or to be one of the final candidates considered?

Can You Explain Why You Left Your Last Job?

Hiring new employees is expensive. There’s the time and effort in attracting candidates, screening them, and conducting interviews. It takes time to set the person up in the human resources and benefits system, and it costs money to onboard and train the new hire. These expenses can add up to hundreds — or even thousands — of dollars. As a result, hiring managers want to ensure that the candidate will be a good fit.

One question you’re likely to be asked in an interview is why you left your last job (or why you want to leave your current position).

Change Jobs or Careers: What to Consider

The basic question remains—do you want to change the company you work for or change your career path entirely? Ask yourself if changing to a new company would fix the issue or issues you identified.
