One thing about engineers is that some tend to not have much of a personality. I can’t count how often my personality has benefited me in landing a great job. I think this is something that should be used for your advantage during your interview.

As a Graduate starting out, I cannot recommend highly enough the benefits you will gain in terms of both credibility and confidence if you have a professionally prepared CV an cover letter. However, I do concede that these will only get you to the interview. You do need to back it up with a great interview performance.

As a trained Engineer myself, I can assure you that whoever is interviewing you will probably not have the ability to test your competence level in terms of your professioanl qualifications. Engineering is one of the toughest courses you can study. However, they will be testing your ability to work as a team player, your ability to convey information and they will assess your likability factor ( which is essentially how personable you are in the interview).

I would recommend you use your Engineering know-how to adapt your educational skills into soft skills. For example, Engineers have a great ability to solve problems we think logically and methodically. This skill can be applied to non-Engineering problems as well and is a great skill for a member of a team to bring to the table.

Interesting concept. I’m not quite this adventurous yet, but I can believe of a minimum of one writer – Greg Crites – who does podcasts of his works. It appears to perform wonderfully nicely for him. And, while you mentioned, truly is another medium via which writers can connect to an additional pool of readers. Cool stuff!

Unemployed Girls, Beware !

Here are some findings of Pew Research Center’s Global Attitude Project ( in association with the International Herald Tribune – July 2010 ) :

 There is a pronounced gap between a belief in the equality of the sexes and how that translates into reality.

 In China, India, Indonesia and Jordan, equal-rights supporters think, most of the adjustments necessary to establish equality have already been made.

 In nations ( Europe / USA ) where equal rights are already mandated, women seem stymied by a lack of real progress.

 More than 50% in 10 of 22 countries said that when jobs are scarce, they should go to men.

Surely they have not read the survey conducted by Psychology Professor Keith Laws ( University of Hertfordshire ), which found that girls are better than boys when it comes to multi-tasking !

May be my 2 unemployed grand-daughters have still some hope !

With regards

Very good article.
Interviews can be one of the most nerve racking experiences in peoples lives, but it needn’t have to be. Relax, be yourself and make friends with the people or are doing the interview. Simple.

It helps if you know stuff too!!!!! :->

As compared to a jobseeker writing her own resume, a resume written by a professional expert resume-writer would any day prove better.

But

Before sending that well-written resume to a recruiter, can a jobseeker figure-out in advance what would happen if that resume

 gets ” rated / ranked / scored ” by recruiter ?

 gets compared automatically with resumes of other applicants ?

Will she get an interview-call ?

To know what is likely to happen , she has to just type “Resume Rater” in Google / Yahoo / Bing , and download this software tool ( free and without even login ) from any of the 35+ websites. Then rate her resume.

Resume Rater mimics the ” resume-evaluation ” process of recruiters’ minds but does it in an unbiased / objective way.
Resume Rater is absolutely non – discriminatory.

Hi,

Job interviews are a breeze, the main thing is to stay calm and prepare. Find out a bit about the company before hand and everything else should sort its self out from there, you know what you can do.
