Below, Scott outlines what steps he took to get an accounting job as a new graduate--at the company he liked, at a higher salary than he was first offered. How did he do that? Scott's story involves networking, interview prep, follow up after the inter

Blog postAre you starting a new career as a new college graduate (or your making the leap to a new field)? In this situation, it can be hard to get job interviews and job offers. The classic dilemma for career changers and new graduates is this: Employers want someone with experience (because they want proven ability), but you can't have experience unless you've had a job. So how can you show them you have the ability do do the job well when you don't have actual experience in that job? This wa

Blog postAre you a new grad (pharmacist or otherwise)? The job search is tough. 30-60-90-Day Plans absolutely help new graduates get a leg up in the job search race--to stand out from all the other fresh graduate competition. It's tough to get a job with no experience, but a 90-day plan shows that you can do the job (and do it well) even without having that experience. With a 90-day plan, Jorge got a job as a fresh grad that is usually reserved for pharmacists who complete a 2-year fellowship.&nb

Blog postCreating a 30-60-90-day plan is a fantastic way to stand out from your competition in a hiring process. I’ve seen it help people with less experience (or zero experience) beat out others with substantial experience. I’ve seen it boost the value of job offers for those who bring it. I’ve even seen it help job seekers get offers for bigger titles and more senior roles than what they actually interviewed for. It really is kind of an interview miracle worker.
However (there’s always a cat -

Blog postSometimes, when I tell job seekers to bring a 30-60-90 day plan to their first interview, they don’t agree with me. They say things like:
“Isn’t that a little presumptuous?” “How could I possibly know what to put in a plan this early?” “Don’t I need to save that to wow them in my second interview?” Here’s what I say:
It isn’t presumptuous…you need to be competitive and stand out. You have to do some research–but the result is a better, stronger interview. You may not make it to th -

Have you heard of 30-60-90 Day Plans? Simply put, this kind of plan is an outline of what action steps you plan to take in the first 3 months of your new job. You research and create it before you go to the interview. During the interview, you talk over your plan with the interviewer / hiring manager.
(See more details about what a 30-60-90-day plan looks like.)
In this post, I’m going to show you 7 reasons you absolutely need to bring your own 30-60-90-day plan -
Blog postA 30-60-90-Day Sales Plan is the most important tool or document you can bring to any sales interview (besides your resume).
It gives the potential employer a glimpse into the future by outlining how you will approach the most important tasks and action steps of your first 3 months.
It lets the hiring manager or interviewer have a ‘test drive’ of what you’d be like in this new job.
As a result, it changes the dynamics and scope of your interview in a big, impressive wa -
Blog postIn one minute, I’ll give you 9 strong reasons you must have a 30-60-90-day plan for your job interview. (If you’re not getting offers, this is what you’re missing.) Watch this video:
Warning: You can’t just use any old plan and still expect it to deliver these kinds of benefits.
I’ve had people come to me and say, “Hey, I took a plan and it didn’t work.” I ask to see their plan and I almost always find that it’s super short (ineffective), too long (all about you -

Blog postHave you been a stay at home mom but you’re ready to get back into the workforce? Maybe you took time off to be a caregiver for a loved one in ill health.
If it’s been a while since you had a full-time job, you’ve probably been told to brace for a long job search, reset your expectations, and plan on coming back at a lower level than before. Not only do employers assume you’re out of touch with current best practices, they’re probably discriminating against you because of yo -
Blog post30-60-90-day plans are fantastic for job interviews—no question. I am a big advocate for using these plans to secure job offers. But I do sometimes have job seekers tell me, “Hey, I brought a plan to my interview but I didn’t get the job.”
My first question is always (of course), “Did you use a Career Confidential plan?” Regardless of their response, I ask to see the plan they brought to the interview.
I’ve noticed a few common factors in plans that don’t do well in the -

Blog postHere’s a fun fact to help with your job search:
We poll executives in our webinars and ask,
“If you contacted 100+ hiring managers, would you have more interviews?”
96% of them say YES
–contacting hiring managers (that’s your future boss, or boss’s boss) would get you more interviews. (Check out Ed’s success story–it’s a good one.)
If you want more interviews, but you’re not sure how to contact hiring managers at all (never mind contacting them by the hun -
Blog postEmployers know that in a job interview, you are putting your best foot forward. You are going to say things that are positive, that sell you for the job, and that make you look good. So what do they do? They ask you questions that get you to talk about the not-so-sunny parts of your past jobs. They want to uncover any problems you might be hiding BEFORE you come on board.
This particular question about the least favorite part of your last job, is strongly related to the “What’s your g -

Blog post“If we hire you, what will we know about you a year from now?”

Blog postIs there a mistake you made in one of your past jobs that, looking back on it, you could have handled differently–and gotten a better outcome? When employers ask this kind of job interview question, they want to know that you can learn from your mistakes and be better going forward.

Blog postHave you been in your job for a long time? Have you made lateral moves? Your job interviewer might ask why you haven’t been promoted.
Not being promoted is not always a bad thing…there could be a lot of reasons for that. But if they ask, they’re concerned and looking for any problems you might present to them if they hired you.
In the video below, I will give you several suggestions for ways you can answer this question in a positive way that alleviates the f -
Blog postHave you ever been asked to describe a time you went against corporate directives?

If you have owned your own business or even been a freelancer–but now you’re interested in working for a company, you are in a unique situation. Most people go from working for a corporation to owning their own business, not the other way around. So if you want to work for someone else after working for yourself, it will raise some curiosity.
The good news is, answering this question is much easier than you think. You can give an answer that will resonate with the hirin -

Blog postWhen you need to find a job, you shouldn’t be picky about where that job lead comes from.
You might not think about your friends or family or your church family as a network, but they are. They know you well, they know how great you are. And because they probably don’t work with you, they have contacts that you don’t…outside of your normal work space. That can be a powerful resource.
Watch the video below and I’ll tell you more about this.

Blog postYou will be asked why you left your previous position in your job interview. Just get ready for it. Your future employer will want to know why you weren’t happy there (because maybe it means you won’t be happy with them, either). Or maybe you’ll even tell them something bad about yourself. Stranger things have happened.
So how do you answer? It’s not really a matter of telling the truth or not. It’s about telling the truth that puts the most positive spin on your situation.
