...about your dream job. Don't mention a specific job. Say something generic like, "I want a job where I love the work and the people I work with." Why did you leave your last job? Never refer to a major problem with management or say undesirable things about your supervisors, co-workers or the organization. Keep smiling and talk about leaving for a positive reason such as an opportunity, or a chance to do something better. What is your weakness? Always try to give a positive answer. For example, "It takes me a long time to get ready in the morning, so I set my alarm two hours ahead of my time in for work." What are your strengths? Sell yourself. Say how you can be a desirable employee for the company. What do you know about the type of work we do? Do a research about the company before going to the job interview. Why should we hire you? This is your chance to show why working for the company is important to you and why you think you will fit in. Don't mention other applicants for comparison. Tell me about a suggestion you have made. This will show that you care about the company's growth. Use an example that was accepted and successful, especially one that is related to the position. Do you consider yourself successful? You should always answer yes. Success doesn't necessarily have to be big ones, just mention how you have achieved goals you have set for yourself. What do co-workers say about you? Recall good things that your co-workers have said like, "My manager...

This takes practice, so attend as many job interviews as possible. • Using a prepared script, phone companies to ask for interviews. • Anticipate the questions you will be asked at an interview, and prepare credible, compelling responses. • Employers want people who can do the work, don’t want too much pay and are not risky. • Your likeability is more important than your job qualifications. • Ask the interviewer questions that elicit information you really need about the job. • Imagine yourself in the interviewer’s chair to gain a clear perspective on what attributes they seek. • Don’t think that a job interview is a conversation between equals. First, you have to prove yourself. • Don’t shoot yourself in the foot at the end of the interview by asking the interviewer if they would like to know more about you.

...about yourself. This is really more of a request than a question. But these few words can put you on the spot in a way no question can. Many quickly lose control of the interview during the most critical time- the first five minutes. This is not the time to go into a lengthy history or wander off in different directions. Your response should be focused and purposeful. Communicate a pattern of interests and skills that relate to the position in question. Consider your response to this question as a commercial that sells your autobiography. Provide an answer that includes information about where you grew up, where you went to school, your initial work experience, additional education and special training, where you are now, and what you intend to do next. One of the most effective ways to prepare for this question is to develop a 60-second biographic sketch that emphasizes a pattern of interests, skills, and accomplishments. Focus your response around a common theme related to your major interests and skills. Take, for example, the following response, which emphasizes computers. "I was born in Canton, Ohio and attended Lincoln High School. Ever since I was a teenager, I tinkered with computers. It was my hobby, my passion, and my way of learning. Like most kids I enjoyed computer games. When my folks gave me a computer as a reward for making honor roll my sophomore year, I mastered DOS, Windows, and WordPerfect within six months. I then went on to teach myself programming basics...

...Faculty: Trent Koide Argosy University May 28, 2014 Abstract Day by day our generation seems to change as years go by. Back then parents were very strict with their children. There are so many changes that have occurred and will continue to do so. For instance children had respect for their parents. Parents or guardians would takecare of children. These days Parents or guardians are doing their own thing for instance some spend time working till wee hours of the night some all they do is spend time on the internet. Some children are not eating proper do to that factor. Back then parents or guardians put their children before anything and were always watching what they needed. Children sometime feel neglected that they do whatever they want because they no longer feel loved. There are so many things generations have changed like education, money managing, chores and meals. Keywords: changes, parents, children, generations, respect Parenting Generation Practices Everything has changed and will continue to change as a new generation starts to form. For instance, the old is gone and new starts to come. Father would tell my brother and me that when his grandpa was younger he had to wake up very early to feed the animals do chores around the house then eat breakfast. He would also say that his grandpa would tell him if I was to talk back I will get hit with a whip or I would not eat for a day. Dad would say that his father would also get whipped if he talked back or did...

...are looked at like failures. The problem with that is it’s hard to get a job, support a family, and get anything you want or need. When you have an education it helps to be a functioning member of society and create a better life than you had before. If someone has an education you can do just about anything you put your mind to. The purpose of education is to set us up for the rest of our lives. As much as I hate to say it; education decides what you will do for the rest of your life and puts you in the best spot to be successful. Even though it will narrow down your choices for a career it helps to improve your chances on getting jobs. Education as a schools stand point is to teach academic field of applied major or to one of any educational philosophies that are working towards one idea. This is very important to have a formal education like this because it allows us to get jobs and know the ins and outs of the job. I think it is equally if not more important to have an informal education also known as street smarts. Street smarts are what drive you to do what you want and it’s the training you get while you are doing the job. This is what makes us good at our jobs; it gives us the knowhow and experience that we need to succeed. When a person is great at their job it makes everything easier for everyone else. Working like a fine oiled machine is the most productive way to get things done. College is the best way to get knowledge about future jobs because it narrows...
