Don't Forget To Interview the Interviewer!
Posted by: | CommentsMany job seekers worry and fret about the questions a hiring manager may ask them during a job interview. They want to prepare for them ahead of time so they’ll have their answers ready when the time comes. Understandable, of course. But in the process they often overlook planning the questions they should ask of the person conducting the interview.
A Professional Cover Letter for these Tough Times
Posted by: | CommentsMake no mistake! All cover letters are not the same. Some are at best, ho hum. Others are professional in every way. In these tough economic times, any old cover letter won’t cut it with the hiring manager. You can imagine which one he or she will move to the top of the pile.
There are so many people in the job search market competing for interviews that in order to be noticed you must write a professional, eye-catching cover letter—one that convinces the hiring manager of the kind of person you are—someone eager to bring his or her time, talent, and trustworthiness to the company.

Posted by: | Comments
Mastering public speaking is a skill that is often overlooked when it comes to career management.
The most successful business people and the top entrepreneurs in the world are in the positions they are in because they are great communicators.
No company president can hold the top spot without knowing how to talk to and relate to people.
The same holds true with Team Leaders and Junior and Senior Managers – in fact, anyone who makes regular speeches and presentations.

How to be Convincing at The Interview
Posted by: | Comments
You’ve sent in your resume and now you have to overcome the final hurdle before being offered the job – the Interview.
This is the time you really need to shine.
Let’s quickly recap how interviews work…
Most interviews follow a similar pattern:
- Welcome. Handshake and smile.
- Small talk. Being asked about your journey, how easy it was to find us, like a drink?
- Being introduced to the interviewers
- Being given a brief description of the company and/or job you are applying for
- Questions about your experience
Mastering Public Speaking – When Should We Allow Questions?
Posted by: | Comments
When mastering public speaking this question often arises:
“When do I allow questions?”
Different public speakers allow questions at different parts of the presentation; but although there is no right or wrong way, the majority of speakers take questions only at the end. When mastering public speaking, you’ll want to decide the best time.
If we allow questions to be asked of us as and when they arise, it certainly aids informality – and this may be desirable if we are unsure of the level of knowledge of our audience.

Focus on your strengths
Why try to be a pilot if you’re a better engineer? Find out what you’re good at and build on it. You are much more likely to excel as a Manager if you know what it is you can do and accept what you can’t. You can always try to improve on your weaknesses, but you have better chances at success if you fine-tune your strengths instead.

Develop Your Staff With Effective Management Delegation
Posted by: | Comments
In a previous post I asked the question, “Is the best manager skill management delegation?”
Within the post I stated that Management delegation is a vital manager skill that, once mastered, frees the manager from stress and pressure and enables them to be more successful.
However there is a huge knock-on effect of effective delegation and that’s staff development. Through effective management delegation you can quickly and easily develop your staff to learn new skills and become much more of an effective team.
Here are some delegation ideas to help with effective delegation and staff development:
