7 Things Not to Say During a Job Interview - FoxBusiness.com When interviewing for a job, we all want to put our best foot forward, but sometimes we end up putting it in our mouths instead.

Lost generation | Andrew Hankinson | Money | The Observer Last week a man in the jobcentre handed me a letter summoning me to a Back to Work session – come on! Back to work! Break's over! "We can also help with business plans," a man in a beige suit adds, "though whether you'd be thinking of that in this climate, I don't know." The claimant who arrived late opens a bottle of Coke and poses a theoretical question about what would happen if he had worked for McDonald's and quit after three weeks because he didn't like it. The Back to Work session finishes. It's easy to sympathise with Alan. "People are feeling incredibly angry," Wes Streeting, president of the National Union of Students, told me. The anger is due to intergenerational unfairness. The most vociferous complaint came from 23-year-old George Lewkowicz after the CBI proposed raising tuition fees. In Newcastle we call that a proper radge. I widen my hunt and find internet forums and blogs venting intergenerational bitterness. "A poet," he replies. Delivering pizza? No. "The schools.
Experience and Pay – An Inverse Relationship? I recently was asked by an executive level candidate if I had noticed a shift recently in employers’ preference for “less experienced” candidates. I had to answer yes – since 2001, I have seen a noticeable shift in some industries, except for maybe engineering and highly technical positions. Not only is there a bias towards hiring employees who have less experience on the misguided assumption that they will stay longer if the economy bounces back, the jobs available are at a much lower level than I have experienced in the last 15 years. Case in point: Corporate Recruiting Departments that used to have 10 seasoned recruiters now have 3-4 recruiters and are hiring a Recruiting Coordinator to offload some of the work. I felt really pretty bad as this executive went on, “No one wants to hire experts anymore. Tenured, experienced staff that can produce at lightning speeds are a thing of the past. Let’s take corporate recruiting, for example. Why?

Platform Thinking in Personal Branding | chrisbrogan.com The first secret trick about personal branding is that first, you have to be known for something. One thing. First. If Gary Vaynerchuk tried starting Wine Library TV and Obsessed TV at the same time, I know for a fact he’d have failed and we wouldn’t know about him. The challenge, as it were, is to build from a base, and then quickly show the breadth of your capabilities, all tied into an easy-to-consume story. First Step: Be Damned Good at Something You already are damned good at something. If you start at being known for being damned good for something, everything else gets a little easier. But that relates again to platform thinking as well. Diversify With a Unified Story Gary Vaynerchuk started with Wine Library TV, where he speaks passionately about food. Richard Branson does it similarly in the big leagues. The Arc of Your Personal Brand You can’t do it all.
