Interview tips and Ask Questions

  • During the interview, do not get into salary details. Say that it depends on the job, and you would like to talk about it after a job offer.

  •  Do not worry about asking for help frequently in your new job. Nobody will think you are incompetent. You learn most by asking questions.

Professional Gathering and Changing Careers

  • In a professional gathering, the more relevant you can be, the more likely you are to get connected to people who may be able to help you.

  • While changing careers, find out if any specialized skills are required for your new career and also calculate the maximum growth prospects.

Average work and Resume tweaks

  • Never hand in average work to your colleagues or supervisors. It will give an impression of not taking excellence at your job seriously.

Career path and your profile


  • Choosing a career is a big decision. A decision that should involve more than thumbing through a book or newspaper and picking a job..

  • A professional profile sells your expertise to a potential employer, explaining why you are the best, and only, candidate for the job.

Deadlines and Expectations


  • Keep your work deadlines. If there is an issue you must inform your superiors of a possible delay in delivery. Do not spring surprises.

  • You are not expected to know everything in the first few weeks of your new job. Take time to ask questions, observe and learn everything.

Attitude


  • Don't use the statement - "I have not done this before" as an excuse. Ask intelligent questions. Take up the challenge and surpass it.

  • Do not be afraid or too egoistic to ask for help if you do not know how to do a certain task. You will learn only when you seek help.

Career choice

Look at educational requirements, the job description, the job outlook, earnings, and opportunities for advancement.
