Top 5 Reasons Why All Of Your Efforts To Land A Job Are Failing

Top 5 Reasons Why All of Your Efforts to Land a Job Are Failing Business woman working on laptop in her office by perzon seo on Flickr This is going to sound backwards, and I don’t blame you if you find it hard to believe at first, but give me a chance and I will prove that there is a way to do LESS, have MORE FUN, and get the BEST job possible, in spite of the fact that you have been doing everything possible, perhaps even everything you have been advised to do, and have not enjoyed or sustained momentum in your job search. There is a huge misconception out there that if you are out of work, you need to HUSTLE. And yet, so many job seekers feel as though they are doing everything right, but not being offered the jobs that they feel are the best suited for them. Some receive offers they know are not the best suited, but accept them anyway. This is the cause for the 69% disengagement rate that causes US companies to lose over $400B annually. If you have applied to over 100, even 50 jobs, and have yet to receive an offer, one of the following, or a combination of the following, are most likely the reason: It never fails when I speak to a group of job seekers. I ask the question, “How many of you have heard that networking is the #1 way to find a job?” and everyone raises their hands.   Then I ask, “How many of you are spending at least 50% of your job search on job board or filling out online applications?” and 75-100% of the room raise their hands. Even when they know that networking is the most effective way to find a job, they spend a small percentage of their time networking and a majority of the time on resources that only have a 5-10% chance of turning into an opportunity. And, even if they are networking, most are doing that ineffectively, either meekly asking for favors instead of boldly articulating their value, or collecting and distributing cards to essentially spam people, instead of asking rapport-building questions, nurturing their networks by providing value, and then inspiring contacts to generate leads based on the value to the employer. I also think that many people have an inflated idea of how much time effective networking takes and that it has to look a certain way, for instance like schmoozing with people you wouldn’t normally associate with, or sucking up to people for whom you don’t have any respect or admiration. While it is outside of many people’s comfort zone, it can look a lot more like you engaging in fun and/or purposeful activities, even unrelated to your profession, and in small groups versus big events. Spend over 60% of your time on people, who will always be much more powerful advocates than technology. Also, be proactive in your pursuit of a job over 60% of the time rather than passively filling out online applications and hitting buttons. You get what you give. People are not as good actors as they imagine themselves to be. People can also genuinely believe that they are pursuing a noble goal, even if it is not the right goal for them. If you experience challenges pursuing a particular position, ask yourself if you are targeting the right position. You may have decided that something else you really wanted to do wasn’t viable, it would take too long to land or wouldn’t pay enough, but it’s actually the right thing, the thing you will attract like a magnet, and your best chance of increasing your income trajectory in the long-term. A job that utilizes your strengths and allows you to pursue a passion represents your best chances at success, but also happiness and fulfillment. Sometimes things don’t just happen TO us, they happen FOR us.   No good company wants to hire you for a consolation career. This applies not only for pursuing the wrong position, but also the wrong employer. You don’t need to appeal to all companies in an industry if only a few of them would recognize you as a fit for their culture. Decide ahead of time what cultures you fit into and be proactive in pursuing them. So many people stop short of distinguishing themselves from their competition, feeling as though their qualifications are strong enough to make them an obvious choice. If you were on the hiring end, though, you would realize that there are a good crop of people with the qualifications to do the job. The one that gets the furthest the fastest, and ultimately the offer, is the one who can create excitement and a sense of urgency based on what they bring above and beyond meeting the requirements of the job. Your brand needs to be genuine and distinct. It can be challenging to be objective about whether you are distinguishing yourself or not. So many people think if they call themselves “driven,” “a team player,” “passionate,” “a leader,” or “creative” that this is adequate branding. It isn’t. It’s probably true, but it isn’t distinct. I have found that there are 4-6 major distinctions every person has that will help them rise above the rest. It’s frequently not WHAT they do, but HOW or even WHY. Everyone has his or her own unique set of experiences. This is where you have to dig to find the artifacts and evidence of your unique value. How critical, skeptical, even cynical recruiters and hiring managers are is vastly underestimated by job seekers. There are often more risk signals between a job seeker’s résumé and social media than there are value signals. As soon as the scale tips more toward risk, the job seeker gets passed over. What also gets underestimated is how clued in recruiters are to the tactics people use to hide risk factors. Instead of sweeping a risk factor under a rug, they often put bright red tape right on it. Look, no candidate is going to be perfect, but the riskier candidate is the one that can’t admit where the imperfections are/were. If you can’t admit it, you can’t demonstrate your ability to learn from mistakes and even help companies prevent them. You want MOST of the focus on value, but if there is a risk factor, such as being fired, having a visible project fail, experiencing long-term unemployment, or even having personal events interfere with work, then you need to craft a simple, relatable story based on facts that is appropriate to tell in various media, such as in your résumé (perhaps), your LinkedIn profile, or when networking or interviewing. While some risks are common, how you might address them is very particular to your circumstances and target employer. If you want specific advice, I recommend a complimentary 40-minute consultation and some one-on-one branding and campaign assistance. We give off vibes. We pick up vibes. Even the most scientific, empirical people among us will admit that we get vibes from people. In fact, as I demonstrated in a previous post, science can actually explain why this is.   Maya Angelou said, “People may not remember exactly what you did, or what you said, but they will never forget how you made them feel.” Positive psychologist Shawn Achor proved that negativity and stress are contagious with an experiment at an airport. I don’t spend a lot of time talking to my clients about non-verbal communication tactics or things that they can do to manipulate the interviewer into alignment. None of these things has to be manufactured when there is real alignment, so that is what I coach my clients on. This is not “positive thinking,” which doesn’t fool anyone, including yourself. This is learning how to accept what is, truly appreciate yourself and know your own value, genuinely connect and empathize with the other person, trust in G od (or the Universe, or whatever you believe is operating in your world,) and inspiring the support of others. You can’t put a band-aid on stress and anxiety and expect that no one will know it’s there. Others can feel it. And even if you walk in to an interview fully confident, there could be that one question you dread, and it can all go downhill from there. Your stress responses will take over and even if you learned how to tactically shift your non-verbal communication, you will forget or execute poorly. If you network or interview without a fortified mindset, it can not only sabotage the results you want, but it can be a big waste of time and can make you feel worse, making it that much harder to get into a state of mind that lubricates your efforts and creates ease in getting results.   There are things that can be done just prior to an event or interview to help with mindset, but even the things you do behind a computer can be much more effective if you do them with a fortified mindset. Another Shawn Achor study proved that investing 10 minutes in meditation actually creates 62 minutes of productivity.   Exercising prior to doing work is another hack to improve your mindset, make you less vulnerable to getting thrown off your game, and boost your IQ.

7 Ways to get a Response to Your Email

7 Ways to get a Response to Your Email Sending spontaneous messages today is a lot simpler than the cold pitches of the past. Rather than perspiring through your shirt and requiring three endeavors to get your shaking fingers to enter in the right number, you can pound out an email to an expected supervisor while never agonizing over your voice breaking. Obviously, there's only one issueâ€"overlooking an email is significantly simpler. Actually, it tends to be a shockingly better methodology to get the telephone since chances are, the individual on the opposite end will be found napping by the outdated tech and decorum. So how would you get individuals to hit the answer button? Email the executives organization Boomerang as of late examined 5 million messages it has prepared to perceive what kinds of messages improve reactions. This is what they found: Compose at a third-grade understanding level Despite the fact that you may be enticed to compose confused writing that grandstands your impressive abilities in the English language, Boomerang's information says it's a poorly conceived notion. Messages composed at a nine to ten-year-old's level gave an incredible 36% lift over messages composed at a school understanding level and a 17% higher reaction rate than messages composed even at a secondary school understanding level. It likely has something to do with arriving at the point and not making your peruser work for the data you're attempting to pass on. Try not to compose like a robot Boomerang's information followed the passionate tone of messages, and found that messages that were decently positive or negative delighted in a 10-15% reaction rate increment over impartial messages.

As per Boomerang's information, restricting your message to 50 to 125 words yields a half higher reaction rate than messages outside that go.

Be that as it may, the informational collection recommended that multiple inquiries is a formula for an unanswered email. Include a sentiment Much the same as moderate inspiration and pessimism are acceptable approaches to get an answer, including some assessment and maintaining a strategic distance from exacting objectivity is a successful ruse, increasing the reaction rate to half from the 44% rate that objective messages have in Boomerang's framework.

Six Cover Letter Tips - CraftResumes.com

Six Cover Letter Tips - CraftResumes.com Six Cover Letter Tips Six Cover Letter Tips , 90% of executives say that writing a cover letter is valuable. A well-written cover letter can help you stand out from the crowd, whereas a poorly-written cover letter, that appears like a copy and paste that you sent to all employers, can hurt your chances for an interview. This article will outline six key elements of a writing an effective cover letter to help you stand out. Identify the Hiring Manager ) demonstrated that the average corporate job opening receives more than 250 resumes. It’s way too common for applicants to blanketly apply through the various job boards and company websites without giving any effort to try and find the contact person. Taking the time to get personal and identify the decision maker (hiring manager) will make you stand out from the masses of applicants who address the cover letter by simply writing “to whom it may concern.” The extra little effort required to locate the decision maker and address the cover letter to them specifically will pay off in spades. Tailor the Cover Letter In addition to addressing the cover letter to the hiring manager, you should tailor the cover letter to the specific position you’re applying for. Be sure to include the relevant keywords and highlight exactly why you’re qualified for the position. You can use the most relevant achievements from your resume or include new accomplishments that are tailored for the position. This customization will clearly separate you from the candidates who use a generic cover letter that they use for every position they applied for. Showcase Your Value Just like you resume, you want your cover letter to showcase your value and immediately indicate why you would be a great fit for the specific job you are applying. An easy way to achieve this is with a concise opening paragraph followed by a few bullets with your relevant achievements that are applicable to the position. Remember that employers want to know about your previous contributions and how you are going to make a significant difference at their company. Clearly Indicate Why You’re Interested One of the most common interview questions asked from hiring managers is “why do you want to work for us?” Your cover letter gives you the chance to include this information unlike your resume. You should be very specific on exactly why you want to work for the company. For example, you may have seen the company’s new product release that you want to be involved with. Perhaps you’ve been following the company’s social media channels and constantly read about the positive culture of the organization where you would be a great fit. Make every company and unique position that you apply for feel as if it’s the only one you’re considering. Keep it Concise ) conducted a detailed study of hiring managers and discovered that the average recruiter spends only 6-seconds reviewing a resume! Knowing this, you can count on recruiters spending less time reviewing your cover letter. Your cover letter needs to be concise and always less than one-page. Avoid using lengthy paragraphs with too much information. Instead, use very concise bullet points that are easy to read and can quickly showcase your skills and qualifications for the position. Proofread! There is no excuse for submitting a cover letter (along with your resume) to a job that contains spelling and grammatical errors. Although most people will use Microsoft Word or a similar word processing program with spell checkers, you still need to proofread your cover letter to guarantee that it didn’t miss anything. The spell checker won’t be able to properly review things such as specific company names, products, positions, etc., where an egregious spelling error can cost you the position. Finally, be sure to proofread for any grammatical errors that a writing program could easily miss. Mixing up homophones (words that sound alike but are different) is an easy error to miss. You may have listed “your” when you should have listed “you’re.” Finally, be certain to spell the hiring manager’s name correctly that you are addressing the cover letter to since a spell checker will not be able to catch this. Conclusion The purpose of the cover letter is to get the recruiter to read your resume and hopefully lead to being invited for an interview. A study conducted by Careerbuilder (2015) highlighted that 49% of employers wanted job seekers to include a cover letter for the position they’re applying for. Remember to 1) identify the hiring manager, 2) tailor the cover letter for each position, 3) showcase your value, 4) clearly indicate why you’re interested, 5) keep it concise, and 6) proofread it for consistency and to avoid any spelling/grammatical errors. Cover letters are still important today and will be for the foreseeable future.

How to Write a Professional Resume

How to Write a Professional ResumeNow that you've read the first article in our mini-series on resume writing, it's time to move on to part two of the mini-series: how to write a professional resume and how to write a killer cover letter. After you've followed along with this first article, we recommend that you head over to your favorite resume writing software, download a sample resume or CV and start getting it ready for submitting to a hiring manager. You'll have to be patient and dedicated to your resume writing software, so don't give up if it doesn't come out perfect the first time around.As you work on your resume, it's important to keep in mind that not everyone will get the same job, even if they have identical resumes and samples submitted to the same employers. Different employers use different approaches when interviewing and evaluating candidates, so it's important to consider each of these when you're developing your resume. Here are some tips to help you create a resu me that stands out from the crowd.First of all, never send a resume or CV through various applicant tracking systems or to individual employers without making sure it's polished and professional. This can include editing and trimming. A resume should be updated regularly. There are usually two job fairs in a year, so expect that the first two weeks of your resume will show up with the majority of it already filled in. That's okay - just go back and add the information that needs to be added.The idea is to make sure the resume is well-written, professional and polished, not to mention very professional and not too long. Generally speaking, a resume should be between 200-600 words, though if you're submitting to several companies, you may want to think about going longer. Remember that resume software will only read your resume.While a resume does not need to be as fancy or creative as some people think, you should at least have a neat introduction and call to action. You want your re sume to stand out from the crowd and draw attention from the hiring manager.If you've included some kind of information about yourself online, then include a brief biography in your resume. If you are doing your own research online, include the links to the relevant articles.Don't be afraid to include a picture of yourself in your resume. I know some resume writers who don't include a picture, but that's because they feel it's inappropriate, or because they don't have a photo of themselves. But that's just not true - most hiring managers and interviewers use pictures when evaluating candidates, so why not use one in your resume?Resume writing is very easy if you know how to do it right. Just follow the steps in this article and you'll get your resume ready for submitting to an employer.

How blogging leads to business - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

How blogging leads to business - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career People from around the world are interested in a variety of subjects. They scour the internet, using google and technorati to search for these subjects in order to gain knowledge. Blogs have become the center resource for this knowledge, providing a first hand and personal feel that people can relate to. When visitors or perspective customers visit a blog, they can not only gain insight into a subject they are interested in already, but get a feel for the author who is writing it. There is no better way to start, grow and expand your business than creating a blog that is the interface to the customer. A blog acts as the middle-man between your business and the potential customer. It is a touch point by where visitors are converted to customers. Your Personal Brand allows for this connection to take place. By branding yourself as an expert in your field, readers are more likely to be interested in your writing, your brand and your corporate brand. Your goal is to be perceived as a maj or player on the subject that you deal with on your blog. There are 3 stages that will help you generate new business or retain customers, which I call The Blog Conversion Cycle. It all starts with writing a blog! Stage 1: A visitor searches the internet and lands on your blog. They enjoy the material, as well as your subject matter expertise. They are an active participant in the blog by commenting or emailing the author. Once this connection takes place, there is a relationship and as we all know, that leads to new business opportunities. Remember that not everyone who visitors your blog will purchase your products or services or even subscribe. The percentage that hold interest are more inclined to travel to your corporate webpage afterward. Stage 2: When a visitor has enough interest in your blog and perceives you as a leading service provider through your bio (could be LinkedIn), then they will be more likely to visit your corporate webpage or the page in your blog designated to product or service transactions. With a clear value proposition and marketing collateral to back it up, your business will be viewed as attractive to this customer. After learning about the topic, your business and your Personal Brand from your blog, visitors will be converted to customers that are ready to purchase. Stage 3: As an expert providing a high quality product or service through your business webpage, you have now found an evangelist to spread awareness of your blog, business and Personal Brand to others. This may be done virally through the internet, physically through word of mouth or by links on other blogs or webpages. Either way, a happy customer is bound to speak about your business to others. Customers who refer others in their network to your blog are valuable assets to your company because they are your spokesman. Your customer can create new visitors to your blog, who will go through a similar cycle. By using your Personal Brand through this cycle, you can expedite the results. I say this because the deeper the connection and relationship you have with visitors, the quicker they will be converted to customers. By blogging you are establishing that connection and through comments, email and other forms of communication, you are creating a bridge from your blog to your business.

Coachology Redesign your blog and get more readers

Coachology Redesign your blog and get more readers Just after I redesigned my blog last March, Cory Miller sent an email to me giving me some suggestions on how to tweak the layout to get more traffic. My first instinct was to delete the mail because I had just spent $3000 on a blog design and I didnt want to hear it was already out of date. But I have learned my lesson about ignoring reader advice, so I gave some of his suggestions a try. Its because of Cory that there is suggested reading at the end of every post. The suggested posts are supposed to be related to the post at hand, but in fact, I find they are seldom related. That doesnt seem to matter, though. As soon as I implemented this feature, my traffic went up. Cory also told me that I could put search toward the bottom of the page. I was shocked to hear that most people dont search blogs. But when I looked at the record of recent searches on Brazen Careerist, it was true: Almost every search was one I had done myself, looking for a specific post to link to. It was around this time that my book publicity was heating up, and I was launching a home site to promote the book, and I needed to hire someone to help me. When Cory saw that I implemented his changes, he offered to do work for me for free. That would have been great. But I know myself. I make lots of little changes and I work really late at night, and I overreact to problems like the day I accidentally turned my whole blog bold and I couldnt figure out where the missing HTML tag was. I need to pay someone to make it worth putting up with me. So I hired Cory at his regular rate. And it was worth every penny. But hold it. You know what I did first? I read his blog a little more carefully because he is an evangelical Christian. As a liberal Jew, I have never really come into contact with someone like him. And, now that I think about it, I have managed to live among a heavily gay population in New York City and Los Angeles, and in a bastion of atheist academics in Boston, and the most conservative place I have ever lived is in the spot in Chicago where tourists go to bars ? not outright liberal, but I certainly didnt meet any evangelists there. After reading his blog, I decided that hiring Cory would broaden my world. And it has. For one thing, Cory is smart about search engine optimization and how it relates to design, so I am getting smarter. And he is an ace with WordPress to the point that hes made me love it. But he has also taught me about living ones values at work. Of course I asked him about all the religion stuff. He was shocked to hear I was Jewish, and I was shocked that he didnt know. But maybe Jewish radar is like gay radar and straight men dont have any. Anyway, the final thing I have learned from Cory is about living life according to ones values. He does it in a more extreme way than I could. I cherish my moments of hypocrisy. But I really admire him for believing in something. I think thats important. I want to live life according to my values, too. I am just less certain than he is about what they are. But I digress. This is Coachology, right? Cory is offering to create a new blog design (and implement it) for someone for free. Its gotta be in WordPress, (technically called a WordPress Theme) and hes going to give you six hours of his time. If you are high maintenance, indecisive and difficult, you are going to find that six hours is a tight limit. (But maybe you can change. Here are instructions on how to be a good client during the design process.) Corys expertise is creating blog designs that boost traffic, so the people who will benefit the most from this offer are not brand-new bloggers, but people who have established some sort of an audience already. If youd like this chance to spruce up your blog, send an email to me at penelope@penelopetrunk.com with three sentences about why youd be a good candidate for the award. The deadline for submitting an email is Sunday, and Cory will pick a winner next week.

Skills For a Resume Writing - How To Make Sure That You Are Actually Focusing On The Job You Want

Skills For a Resume Writing - How To Make Sure That You Are Actually Focusing On The Job You WantPeople do not like to put the skills for a resume on paper. Most of them are more than willing to give a rough outline of their professional background and how they want to utilize the skills they have to succeed in their chosen career.

They might see you as somebody who does not know what he wants or maybe a low performer.People should avoid using the skills for a resume they have for a job they want.

This consistency can be found if you focus on the good parts of yourself.

How to Make It Work in Intergenerational Teams [Guest Post] - Career Pivot

How to Make It Work in Intergenerational Teams [Guest Post] - Career Pivot Trouble Collaborating? How to Make It Work in Intergenerational Teams If you’re a Baby Boomer, you may have profoundly different expectations and practices about work and workplaces than other generations. Millennials, those born between 1980 and 1995, get a particularly bad rap from Boomers for being riveted to their smartphones at the expense of face-to-face communication, living with their parents at an age when Boomers had gone out on their own and preferring telecommuting on a computer to a presence in the office. It isn’t only Millennials who are generationally different from Baby Boomers at work, though. Generation X, those born between 1960 and 1979, grew up at a time when authority was being questioned left and right (think Vietnam and Watergate). Despite the fact that Boomers are associated with the sex, drugs and rock n’ roll of the 1960s, Boomers’ growing-up years were generally stable politically. It was Generation X who bore the brunt of questioning authority. Knowing how things can fall apart, they tend to like efficiency and practicality in the workplace. Your potential colleagues aren’t limited to those two age cohorts. Given the skyrocketing cost of living, many older workers keep their jobs past the age of 65. They are the Traditionalists, born 1933 to 1945. In their day, a job was to be kept at all costs, and hierarchies were rigidly maintained. These differences in the workplace can cause friction among generations. Despite the differences in approaches to workplaces, though, collaboration is essential to good working relationships and productivity. When project managers are asked to pinpoint what causes projects to fail, 30 percent cite inadequate or poor collaboration. Good communication and respect are essential to good collaboration, and it’s precisely good communication and respect that might be flying out the window if generational differences are allowed to become negative issues. Here are three ways to collaborate with all the age groups in your office. Acknowledge and Work With Differences A lot of tension can be released if generational differences and preferences are acknowledged. Generational stereotypes may be true. As a baby boomer, you might prefer to have meetings around a conference table rather than via Skype or text. Your Millennial colleague might have new ideas for a Facebook campaign that seems overly oriented to pictures as far as you’re concerned. It may help to keep an eye out for generational preferences and to discuss them. If you’re a manager, for example, you might notice that Generation X’ers thrive on email, Millennials are highly productive in a telecommute position that allows them to manage your social media and Boomers and Traditionalists flourish in the direct communication of a physical office. There is no need for a one-size-fits-all approach. Make note of these differences and work productively with them. For More:Gen X and Y â€" Like Oil and Water? Set up Mentorship Programs Studies have shown that Millennials especially like mentorship programs. They’re tailor-made to foster collaborative relationships. Why? Generational differences in a workplace can cause misunderstanding and frustration. They allow stereotypes (“Boomers don’t understand technology” or “Millennials are addicted to their phones and can’t look me in the eye”) to take root, grow and fester. Listen to the most recent episode Pairing people of different generations in mentorship programs allows each generation to work with and help the other. Both people build respect for different experiences and outlooks. After all, Baby Boomers have much experience to offer, while Generation X and Millennials have had rough roads with the recession and 9/11. Understanding the other’s point of view can only help. In addition, if the stereotypes are true, mentorship can help. Perhaps a Millennial who understands everything a smartphone and its multitude of apps can do can show a Boomer things they never dreamed possible, like faster ways to create budget projections and ways to access Word documents as you powerwalk. Sounds good, right? It cuts both ways. Millennials have a reputation for needing and expecting open and transparent communication. As much as corporations may strive toward transparency, though, they can’t always achieve it. This tends to frustrate Millennials, who may not know how to negotiate workplaces. A Boomer can give Millennials good advice on when to expect transparency and positive feedback â€" and when to know it may not be forthcoming. Generation X may be having difficulty managing growing families and workplaces. A mentorship program can give them advice on juggling responsibilities from Boomers and pointers on increasing productivity through technology from Millennials. For More:4 Reasons Boomers Need a Mentor Your Kid’s Age Goodies for All Companies are making every attempt to make workplaces more friendly to Millennials. After all, they constitute one-third of the workforce right now. Businesses are offering flex time, the option to work from home and fitness classes at the workplace because they are attractive to Millennials. It is important, though, to make it clear that these goodies are available to all workers, and to emphasize that the new workplace benefits all. Working with three or four age groups in one company and collaborating effectively can be tough. Through management that acknowledges differences, mentorship programs and making benefits associated with Millennials available to all workers, you can make collaboration a reality and a strong force in your company.

8 Interview Questions You Shouldnt Be Answering in Interviews - Margaret Buj - Interview Coach

8 Interview Questions You Shouldn’t Be Answering in Interviews There are some questions and some topics that should be off-limits during an interview and some of them are even illegal. But, it is not common for inexperienced and even sneaky interviewers to throw one of the trickiest questions at you. They do so to check what the candidates are capable of and if you pass, you have the opportunity to give the job your best shot. Take a look at the following interview questions that you should never answer and what you should say instead: How Old Are You? It is illegal for a recruiter to discriminate against a candidate on the basis of age, and when you answer this truthfully, you are offering the recruiter a fodder for age discrimination. When asked, simply inform the interviewer that you are above legal working age and that you are capable to perform well when it comes to the work related responsibilities. Are You Married? The interviewer may ask you if you have had a professional name change but asking you whether you are married or plan to get married in the future is a total no-no. Simply inform your interviewer whether or not you have any personal commitments that may affect your ability to work.Make sure that you are not being too generous by providing them too much information. How Many Children Do You Have? This is another question that should be off-limits. Like the previous question, simply assure your interviewer that you have no personal commitments that may affect your ability to do the job. Do note that you may be asked this question after a job offer has been made if the company plans on offering family insurance benefits. In such a case, you are required to answer this question honestly and not hide the number of children you have, no matter how many. What Religion Do You Follow? As with age, discrimination on the basis of religion is also illegal. If asked, try to figure out the employer’s concerns and answer the question in a way that addresses the concern. For example, if you are interviewing at a restaurant, the interviewer may be trying to determine your stance towards alcohol. You can let them know whether or not you have any issues. Where Do You Live? Your recruiter may be trying to figure out whether you can report to work at a certain time or not. Simply assure them of your ability to do so. When pressed, you can simply give a vague answer such as “close by. Do You Smoke, Drink Or Do Drugs? Your interviewer may simply be trying to judge how responsible you are. Just let them know your personal habits and that your indulgences will not interfere with your on the job performance. What Is Your Nationality? This too is another illegal question. If you are asked, you are merely required to inform your interviewer whether or not you are legally able to work in the country or state; there is nothing much that they should know. Any Questions Regarding Political Affiliations When asked, try to determine the intent behind the question and answer accordingly without actually revealing your political leanings. As a general rule, if you are asked any of these questions, try to keep it light and friendly at all times. Often the interviewer may only be trying to make conversation and it is likely that they are either inexperienced or unfamiliar with the law. There is, therefore, no need for you to lose your cool.
