  • Tips to Get Hired

    Here are a few tips I have learned over time.

    • Research before hand. What is the mission of the company. What is the company trying to accomplish.
    • What is the line of authority and what is your part in it.
    • Be humble.
    • Ask yourself, what is my goal here? To have a job, to get promoted?
    • Know your top 5 strengths.
    • Sell yourself. People tend to under value there accomplishments and over value others.
    • Have a frank and honest conversation with interviewer. What is you want to make? What are the work hours? What is the 401K match? When does the match money start?
    • Will I love what I am doing?
    • Interview existing workers who do the job.
    • Pose statements in the form of a questions.
