Anyone who has ever searched for a job understands how frustrating the process can be. You spend all of your free time seeking out the most applicable listings, customizing your cover letter and resume to set you apart from the competition, and sending your … More
You did it! You got the job interview of your dreams. Now, you have to be prepared to ace this interview with flying colors, right? Just like brushing up for a quiz in school, you can brush up your interviewing skills before the big day–even plan how you’ll answer certain questions that are likely to come up. More
Interviews can turn into an awkward experience for any job seeker. They can be difficult to get through, impersonal, and make you feel stressed. At times, it can even feel like a bad date or a painful trip to the dentist. More
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, many of us are taking a few extra moments to reflect on what we’re most thankful for. Some of you are thankful for friends and family, or for the delicious meal you’re about to dig into. But when was the last time you said “thank you” during your job search? More
The job search is tedious, time consuming, exhausting, and a bunch of other things we don’t even want to bring up. The feeling of receiving an invitation to interview can leave you both overjoyed and overwhelmed. With growing fears of prolonged gaps of unemployment, especially for older job seekers, developing a job search strategy that really works means there’s no room to blow your chances of getting hired during your interview.

A study today out of London found that three fifths of people form their opinion of someone within just five seconds of meeting them and more than a third said appearance was everything when forming first impression. Almost half of Britons revealed that appearance is the most important factor to consider in an interview situation – over experience or qualifications. A third of respondents admitted to judging a colleague on their first day of work based on the clothes they were wearing. This means that when hiring people we tend to lean towards the more attractive. But you may want to be careful of this because another new study says that “gorgeous” people are often less outgoing, less friendly and self obsessed and maybe not an ideal employee. More
Following current events may seem like we’re time traveling back to elementary school. (Remember bringing news clips to class for discussion?) But seriously, following current and industry news can give you a huge career boost if you keep your focus. More
Last night’s Gallery Girls season finale was pretty disappointing and well, just really depressing. I mean we saw some happiness for Amy Poliakoff but for Maggie Schaffer, a 20-something woman who has been working as an intern at the Elie Klein gallery for three years (or three months according to him) and was finally (it seemed) about to get a paying job at the Bernarducci Meisel Gallery, we saw real sadness. After interviewing twice at a gallery (one interview included working for a day), they brought her in a third time to not only tell her she didn’t get the job but why she didn’t get the job. They basically told her she was not meant for a career in the art world. It was pretty tough to swallow, but it makes me wonder, should you tell a job candidate why they aren’t getting the position? More
It is in every job seeker’s best interest to develop a strong rapport with the person doing the hiring. When you make yourself memorable to the recruiting manager you can leave the interview with your head held high and oozing with confidence. But, what many job seekers fail to consider is the many other candidates who are doing the same thing, and who also hit it off with the interviewer. So the question is – how do you make yourself more memorable than the rest? More
As you prepare for summer fading to fall, your interview wardrobe should anticipate the change as well. The air is getting cooler, and you probably have your favorite football team’s jersey ready to go on game day — but don’t forget that your professional attire needs to be updated for fall as well.
