Welcome,
My names Richard Penfold, and as a head-hunter my job is to find my clients the very best people for their individual needs. My role is a kind of careers match-maker; because for these relationships to blossom both parties have to benefit.
I don’t say this to try and impress, it’s simply that to do this job properly I must deeply understand and often help my client employers define exactly what skills and type of person they need. And on the flip side I must ensure that these requirements and values are aligned to the skills and ambitions of everyone I recommend to my clients.
I’m really lucky as this role gives me fantastic insight into what careers advice works and what doesn’t.
My short term objective is to make Interviewing-Answerers.com your resource for getting the interview invites you want, acing those interviews and negotiating offers that you’re delighted with.
Answering all the questions listed above along the way.
My ongoing objective is to then continue to add career development information and tools to help people develop careers they will love.
I hope this sounds good to you, as were now go to get into the thick of it.
Firstly, a brief explanation of the site navigation. In the right hand column under the heading Categories you’ll see listed the content headings. These are ordered in a typical job finding process, identify job, research, apply for job, go through interview / assessment stages, negotiate offer, accept or start over.
Those same heading will also appear as text links within some of the page information or at the end of pages to link to the next one, if you are following the suggested order.
As this is my blog site I review it daily and would welcome, questions, suggestions, comments, its early days but I do want this site to work for you, and care deeply that it does.
Right lets get started.
ALL organisations are looking to either MAKE MONEY or SAVE MONEY (increase efficiencies); what we have to do is DEMONSTRATE in a likeable way how YOU will either MAKE them, or SAVE them more money than it COSTS to hire you.
This site will show you how YOU can do this.
Even if you think YOUR role isn’t important enough on its own, the process shows you how to build a COMPELLING PROPOSITION to hire YOU.
I promise everyone can do this.
CRITICAL CONCEPT before we get into the thick of it.
Choosing to hire YOU is a form of BUYING DECISION, justified by both LOGIC and EMOTION, and weighed on the scales of RISK .
LOGIC - They think you have what it takes to do the Job.
EMOTION - They think you’ll fit in, I call this LIKEABILITY.
RISK – What chance of this not working out?
All you have to do is pick your target (future employer) wisely, gain a clear understanding of what they need, and show them how you’ll help them get it!
To do this we have to cover the following ground:-
- Research your target employer – going beyond the usual job specification is the secret.
- Know Yourself – take inventory of all your most saleable assets, you have more than you think!
- Design your unique selling message – an interviewing silver bullet or offer they can’t refuse!
- Create your marketing arsenal (letters, CV / resume, brag book, 30 60 90 day plan).
- Prepare your winning interview answers to the tough questions coming your way!
- Prepare your own question that will enhance your answers and make you stand out from the crowd.
- Practice for perfect interview delivery!
- Close interview skillfully and follow up diligently.
- Negotiate your great job offers!
All the above bullets link to the categories they describe alternately follow this link to move from interviewing answers to how to research you target employer.
