The Dos and Don’ts at Interviews



Hi there

Some really interesting and useful links with information on how to apply for a job:

CVs

The purpose of a CV is to market yourself to an employer and gain an interview.

• Creating CVs – identifying the key requirements, your relevant skills, and choosing the appropriate format
• Chronological CV – listing your details using headings, in reverse chronological order
• Skills-based or functional CV – emphasising your skills and personal qualities
• Improving a CV – giving your CV a face lift, with examples to illustrate how to improve a CV

Interviews

An interview format can be one to one, or there may be second or third interviewers in the form of a panel.

• Interviews – interview formats
• Preparing for an interview – knowing what the job entails, predicting what you may be asked
• Interview preparation activity – answering practise questions to boost your confidence
• Answering questions – thinking about the best way to answer interview questions
• Body language – looking confident, being yourself
• Telephone interviews – dealing with this method in first-round interviews

Here is a very interesting audio from the Economist on social networks such as Facebook and MySpace.

Social networking

The rediscovery of discretion

Andreas Kluth, The Economist’s San Francisco correspondent, talks about real and virtual campfires, and predicts the dissolution of standalone social networks like MySpace and Facebook

Do you think that social networkings are safe? Do you post too many personal details?

Here is an audio from the Economist about the social network Facebook.
