    Your Interview Questions Are a Serious Matter
    Of course interviews are mainly about you answering the questions they put to you, but at the end of your allotted interview time, the questions that really matter most are yours. You should hope to hear the interviewer ask you:“Have you any questions?”But even if they don’t ask, you should grasp the opportunity and say:“Do you mind if I ask a couple of questions?” However you must be careful when planning what questions you’re going to ask, and make sure that they are not ones that you

    Even a well-planned teleconference can go poorly. Some people treat any meeting as a casual social activity instead of as a serious business project. And a teleconference brings special challenges because people attend them in the privacy of their office without being able to see or be seen by the other participants.

    Use these techniques to hold a more effective meeting by phone.

    1) Begin with a quick round of self introductions so that everyone can find out who is present and hear everyone else's voice.

    2) Enforce the rule of "one speaker at a time." Multiple conversations ruin a teleconference.

    3) Insist that people announce when they join or leave the conference.

    4) If people must leave during the meeting, gain closure on any issues that they participated in before they leave. For example, "Pat agreed to prepare a cost estimate by next Monday. Is that correct, Pat?" Make

    A New Vision of Leadership
    The 21st century leader is one who empowers others to be leaders.

    10 Reasons Why Your Company Needs Custom Invitations
    I am always amazed when I hear about companies who spend tens of thousands of dollars organizing a make-it-or-break-it company event designed to celebrate a company milestone and/or impress prospective customers. Sometimes these events have big contracts or sales at stake! Yet, often planners will fall short on the most critical aspect of planning the event—the invitations! After all, before a client steps foot into your venue, or even confirms attendance, the invitation sets the tone and leaves the first and most important (an

    Shaping Your Career Towards The New Economy
    While choosing your career, the prime criteria should be based on your personal interest and talent. The career path you choose has to be based on what you enjoy doing. It is also one of the most important decisions you will make as it influences your future. It is imperative that you make every effort to define your goals, interests and the life that you hope to live when you pursue that particular career.

    What if Finding a Good High Paying Job Were Too Easy?
    What if finding the perfect high paying job were easy? Would we appreciate it as much or treasure our good fortune? What if you simply found that perfect job within minutes of posting it on the Internet not more than a mile from your home? Better yet what if some was going to pay you to sit a home and work 5-6 hours per day in your underwear? We have all heard of such jobs and many people who hear this think to themselves; “hey were can I sign up?” Well in reality there are a few such jobs, but not that many and generally they
    g the meeting, gain closure on any issues that they participated in before they leave. For example, "Pat agreed to prepare a cost estimate by next Monday. Is that correct, Pat?" Make adjustments in the agenda (if appropriate) based on the remaining participants.

    5) Keep everyone focused on the issue being discussed. If someone introduces an idea that seems unrelated, say, "That sounds interesting. How does that relate to the issue?"

    6) Record the conference. First, this will help you prepare minutes. And second, it encourages people to make meaningful comments. Of course, you should announce that you are recording the meeting before you start.

    7) State your name each time that you speak. This helps everyone know that you are speaking.

    8) If you are speaking on your desk phone, use the handset instead of the speakerphone. A speakerphone, while useful, distorts your voice, picks
