I have yet to speak to someone who admits they have weak time management skills. Everyone we interview thinks their ability to manage deliverables and calendars is stellar. They are not.

All of us…me included…have been victimized. We have all been wronged. We have all been taken advantage of. Cards have been stacked against us in terms of illness, debt, or abandonment.

Candidates are often confused with the difference between their digital footprint and personal brand. More often than not, candidates believe they are the same thing. They are not the same.

I feel most of our clients undervalue the importance of job descriptions. Most hiring managers view them as an advertisement…and since it takes a lot of effort to craft one, why invest the time?

Job search anxiety is very common. There are typically three reasons why employers don’t respond to a candidate who applies for an open position: The candidate isn’t qualified (or isn’t as qualified as others), The candidate is overqualified and doesn’t explain why they are applying, or The candidate didn’t move quickly enough to be considered.

It is standard practice for interviewers to open up the discussion with a question like “tell me about yourself” or “walk me through your resume.” I like starting an interview this way because it typically puts the candidate at ease while giving me an idea of what he/she is looking for.

Some of our listeners may argue that no one should be declining a job offer in today’s economy. I find that many candidates decide to accept or decline a position based only on compensation.
