When I was in graduate school I had to do a mock interview in front of my entire class. Then the class, as well as my Professor (who had 7 Masters and 2 Ph.D’s –no joke!) critiqued me. As horrifying as this sounds, it was every bit! But it was also amazingly helpful. I think I owe all the jobs I’ve gotten due to that class. While I was doing some research on Mock Interview tips I came across this great post on SUNY Cortland’s Career Services blog and had to share it. On-Campus Recruiting (OCR) starts February 7th, get […]

By:  CareerAlley “Your tale, sir, would cure deafness.” – William Shakespeare So what is the most difficult environment you’ve ever worked in? Everyone has their horror stories. Some don’t seem as bad when you compare them to someone else’s sob story. One of mine (and I do have many) was early in my career when I was working for a company that was very competitive and believed in a competitive work environment (ironically, this company is no longer around). Every year, managers had to fire the bottom 25% of their staff (whether they were good or not) and replace them […]

I came across this great, short and sweet article from Heather R. Huhman’s blog and thought I’d share her quick tips. For those December grads these 5 points are really good to keep in mind as you find yourself in the “real world” now, but these aren’t only good for December grads so seniors listen up! I remember when I was an entry-level job seeker…seems like only yesterday! In the early days, I definitely made all of the following misconceptions (and more): 1. Your cover letter and resume are about you. Nope. In fact, you should use the word “I” […]

We recently came across an article from JobsJournal.com about identifying job scams and thought we’d post it here since we often get questions about just what this article deals with –  “Spotting Internet Job Scams.” We hope you find it useful: By Surjit Sen Sharma While the percentage of simpleminded people, falling for internet job scams, seems to have remained the same this year as before, according to USA News Online, the numbers have definitely gone up. The recession has caused increase in the numbers of desperate jobseekers, and similarly there has been a rise in the numbers of attempts […]
