How to Nail Your Follow Up Interview

You nailed your first job interview and they've asked you to come for another. It's a great feeling, but at the same time, it also means you have to go through that whole process again. Here's how to nail that second interview and bring something new to the table. The second job interview is typically all about getting to know you on both a personal and professional level. When you're interviewed, your prospective employer wants to know if you can handle the details of the job, and if you're going to fit in with the company in general. http://lifehacker.com/5924708/how-to-nail-your-follow-up-interview

Why You Didn't Get the Job

Over the course of his career, Dave Fecak has scheduled thousands of interviews at a wide array of companies and organizations. In that time, he has learned that while no two managers look for the exact same set of skills or behaviors, recognizable patterns emerge when a candidate isn't offered the job. The examples of feedback below are things I have heard repeatedly over the years, and tend to be the leading causes of failed interviews across industries. Candidate has wide breadth but little depth – The ‘jack of all trades' response is not uncommon, particularly for folks that have perhaps bounced from job to job a little too much. Having experience working in diverse environments is almost always a positive, but only if you are there long enough to take some deeper skills and experience away with you. Companies will seek depth in at least some subset of your overall skill set.

http://lifehacker.com/5821077/avoid-self+aggrandizing-statements-in-your-cover-letter-to-pass-the-first-cut Most hiring managers these days face a stack of qualified resumes for every open position they have, and the cover letter is a good chance to stand out in a personal way. Use the opportunity to tout your skills, not your ego, and you stand a better chance at surviving the first cut. Over at Wise Bread, a number of hiring managers chime in about things they hate seeing in cover letters. One points out you should avoid claiming you're the "ideal candidate," because you haven't seen the applicant pool. Another suggests you shouldn't play up that you're a "hard worker," because it implies you may substitute learning and improvement for raw effort.
