BACK to BASICS

Many job hunters today get scared and forget to do the basics.
They forget to smile. They forget to dress for success. They forget to confirm their appointment. They forget to allow enough time to arrive at an interview early. They forget to sign in upon arrival and ask where the bathroom is so that they can check their appearance. They forget to do research about the company and the person they are visiting. They forget to review their notes about the company and the job they are considering.
They forget that the company wants to find the right person for the job and really wants you to be that person.
They forget to walk into a room confidently and to shake hands with just the right amount of pressure. They forget to look directly into the right eye of the interviewer.
They forget to ask how they, the job hunter, might be able to contribute to the company, what problems the company has had with people in the position before them, and what the company's idea of the perfect candidate looks like.
They forget to listen.
They forget to discuss the highlights of the successes they've had that might fit with the needs of this new company.
They forget to take notes during the interview and/or immediately after leaving the office.
They forget to be friendly and helpful.
They forget to put fear aside.
They forget that THEY have to make their job search exciting and filled with growing opportunities.
