    The Power of What and How
    Are you interested in running a successful Internet-based business? Making hundreds of thousands - even millions - on your own terms and schedule? Providing for your family in ways never before possible? Then wipe the word 'why' out of your vocabulary.“Successful Internet marketers understand the power of 'what' and 'how,'” says Matt Bacak, an Internet entrepreneur. “The power comes from the action inherent in these words. Action is the key.”Bacak goes on to explain that the wo

  • Take the initiative. If you're not asked about something which you feel is important, raise the subject yourself. After all, this is your one chance to sell yourself, so don't waste the opportunity. You can do this at the end by adding “I’ve not had the opportunity to tell you about X. Do you mind if I take a few minutes to tell you?”.

  • Be consistent with your answers. Sometimes, interviewers may ask you the same thing twice, phrased slightly differently as a way of checking you out. Listen to yourself as well as to them. If you feel you've made a mist
    The Adventures of Wolley Segap -- Lifesaver
    I was sitting at my walnut desk in my faux-wood paneled den on a sunny Saturday morning, staring at a stack of mostly white and a few, multi-colored, papers. I had decided to evaluate my current insurance situation and was working my way through the various policies for my car and myself. But with all those terms and all that fine print, my poor head was swimming. There were items like deductibles, co-pays, minimums, maximums, blankets, umbrellas, whole, term, collision, comprehensive, and all th
    Do not worry when people tell you an interview is a "selling exercise". All they mean is that the interviewer needs to fill his or her position and you just have to show how you meet this need.

    You know what the need is - The interviewer advertised it in the vacancy! And you already showed you met the need via your CV or job application form!

    So, in the interview, you simply demonstrate, through answering interview questions, how well you meet this need and leave the decision to them.

  • Be confident when answering interview questions. You may be nervous and you won't be completely sure that your answer is the one the interviewer is expecting, but still say it with conviction.

  • Listen to ALL the question before answering.

    Sometimes, people only hear the first bit of a question because they are already thinking about the answer. They then miss the next bit.

    For example: “Talk to me about two of your strengths and give me examples for both”.

    Some people here the word “strengths” and off they go……. They list 2 strengths then stop, and wonder why the interviewers are looking like they expect more!

  • Think before you speak. What might seem like ages to you, really isn’t. Too many people jump in as soon as the question ends. Don’t.

  • If you don't understand the question, ask for clarification. Confidence is about being able to say you don't understand without feeling stupid.

  • If you can’t think of an answer, ASK to come back to it. This is far better and shows more confidence than saying nothing, stammering or talking rubbish (people do). Just say “I need a little more time to think about that one. Can I come back to it later?”

  • Use persuasive language when answering interview questions. By which we mean this:

    Don’t say, when asked what you've done in your current job:

    "In my current job I did X and Y. Then I did Z".

    Instead, use words like “project led”, “volunteered”, “was asked” “successfully”.

    “In my current job, I was asked to implement X. After this, I project led a team to implement Y. After that I volunteered to take on X and completed it successfully before the deadline”.

    Can you see that this is much better? You sound active in your own successes, not just passively doing tasks given to you.

  • And Be Positive when answering interview questions. Don’t use negative words or say anything bad about your current job, boss or Company. Instead talk about what else you are looking for. Say “I genuinely enjoyed my last job, but I'm eager to move onto a different challenge and use the skills I have gained”, or something similar.

  • Back up statements with examples. If you describe an ability, skill or experience, follow it with an example.

  • Take the initiative. If you're not asked about something which you feel is important, raise the subject yourself. After all, this is your one chance to sell yourself, so don't waste the opportunity. You can do this at the end by adding “I’ve not had the opportunity to tell you about X.
