Why Follow Up?

Just think of this? Your resume is one in hundreds of files that are piled up in an HR’s desk for a particular job vacancy in their company. After a few days, you managed to call the company manager to follow up on you resume. Chances are you are just one of the few people who had the initiative to follow up. And with the help of a good presentation, you could be given the chance to be interviewed later. If you haven’t done this, your piece of paper should have stayed there unnoticed. There are things to keep in mind, do not call the HR manager. You should go directly to the Hiring supervisor or manager. If it even comes to a point that you need to talk the vice president, then do it. Take control of your job search, don’t wait for things to work for you because it never will come to you on its own.

The Interview

It is necessary to be on time for the interview. It is to note also that coming in too early might signal a negative impression on the employer. It might work to your benefit if you come in at least 15 minutes before the scheduled interview. This will give you ample time to rest and relax yourself. And time to fill out the some forms if there are any. Make sure to dress right. First impressions do last.

Interview Tips:
Research the employer. Do some background checking. not to spy on them but to know how to respond to certain questions while in the interview.
Practice answering the interview while in the mirror.
Go alone. No children and best friends for moral support.
Greet with a firm handshake.
Make eye contact.
Smile and be polite.
Listen carefully.
Answer questions directly. Short and straight to the point.
Be cool and make positive remarks.
Talk about what you learned from your previous job. Do not talk about the job itself. They pretty sure know what your job requires.

I know that the journey you have taken just to reach interview is very hard. But you must prepare yourself very well because you are about to face the crucial part of ones application and that’s interview. Interview for me is the hardest part or the deciding part because at this stage the companies can already asses to accept you or refuse you by knowing who you are and what you can do. That’s why in order to help you I will give some tips for you to follow:

1) never be late during the interview because most of the employer has 1st impression last factor and they will rather refuse or turn down your application as well if your late because for a businessman “ TIME is GOLD”

2) be well groomed, make yourself presentable by having a clean haircut, by dressing well, and by having proper hygiene.

3) Upon arriving at the office greet your interviewer and be polite at all times

4) Answer all questions briefly and intelligently.

5) Thank the interviewer before you leave the room.

Market Research

A companys level of understanding of its target market will determine its marketing strategy. Thorough market research is done through surveys and experiments. Among the obvious factors to consider are the target markets age group, culture and social class. This will determine whether advertising should be in print media, billboards, through radio or TV commercials. The finer details to be considered in determining the content of an ad are more focused on the psychology of how consumers think, feel, analyze and choose when given an option, how consumers are influenced by the environment, the consumers level of understanding, and what motivates and tickles the consumers interest.

Seven Ps of Services Marketing

The seven Ps of the services marketing includes:

product, pricing, promotion, placement, people, process, and physical evidence.

The first four elements are often referred to as the marketing mix. A marketer can use these to design a marketing plan. The four Ps model is useful when marketing low value consumer products. They serve as a framework within which a marketing activity can be used as well as offer a workable guide to the major categories of marketing activity.

The additional three Ps is called the extended marketing mix which reflects a consumer-centered perspective, as it must account for the unique nature of services.

8. Be grateful. Think of the time they allotted for you to see if you are an effective prospective employee, they surely have busy schedules. After the interview, ask for the interviewer’s or the employer’s business cards or calling cards. Send thank you notes without any delay. Even if you were hired or not, send them your gratitude anyways. Keep them noted by saying how much interest you had with the position you applied for. With this act of gratitude, you will surely stand out from the crowd of applicants. If given the chance, when you try to apply again, that simple thank you note just might help.

The 8-Step Preparation (Step 7)

7. Imagine yourself as a product, and you want to have many consumers interested in you. You should think this way when you are in an interview. Think yourself as a product, sell yourself to the company. Like any product, tell the interviewer or the employer your positive traits. (Always remember to be true to yourself, don’t lie!) Tell them about your projects you did in your last job and how it made a change or improved the system. Avoid giving out cliché or indistinguishable answers to the questions. You will end up confusing you and the interviewer.

6. Who said you can not interview the interviewer? Of course you can. You are free to ask questions about the job you are taking, details you are not sure or you have not been told of. You can even prepare those questions even before the scheduled interview itself. Just limit your inquiries; just make sure the questions have a point or are actually leading to somewhere. Asking questions will make sure if you are fit for the job and the job is fit for you. They say information is power, so take that power and make good use of it.
