Well done, Mr. Johnson! Congratulations on your new employment.

Also kudos to you for sharing your experience with your West Chester group. Your strength, patience and tolerance was definitely something to admire during your time of unemployment. You were always willing to give despite the challenges you were facing. Thank you (immensely).

I appreciated this interview because the interviewer was asked the questions this time. And you helped people understand your challenges, your successes and your failures. Most importantly, you shared the faith in God that you show day in and day out. Thank you (again).

Hi Daniel,

Listening to your interview right now. You and all the others sound great. I sound like a frog- I am still fighting a nasty spring cold. Thanks for the opportunity to do the interview. I think it should be required listening for job seekers. Thanks for all that you do!

Not sure how T. Murray got the job! During a recent encounter with Ms. Tiffani Murray, I found her to be obtuse and a bit self-centered. She appears nice on the surface. Dig deeper and the story changes.

A legal assistant who is 34 years old was posing as a real lawyer and taking money from people who thought they were paying legal fees to their lawyer. This case comes from Zambia where James Mushanga of 2066/7 Chawawa Compound has been fully indicted on the charges of offence of an unqualified person trying to practice as real legal advocate. Additionally James Mushanga is facing two counts of getting the money from people by misleading and false pretences.

The details of the case come from the facts that Mushanga on certain dates between the August and September of 2007 knowing he is not advocate took a writ of summons by using his signature and undertaking civil proceedings in the high courts of Lusaka.

The key points here that are sticking with me are:
- Always keep networking so you don't cold call someone when you need them
- Keep productive with projects. That's -productive-, not "busy."
- Know the questions and unique conversations that are going on in your industry so it looks like you know what you're talking (not just the salary facts, etc.)

Thanks!

Most people are extremely nervous when going through the job application process. They are thingking about what they need to do to get this job. I had several opportunities to work with in the HR departments of several different large companies over the years, and found they are looking for lots of things, but one thing that is not on their list is something you cant put on paper.

Thats a cheerful spirit and a great big SMILE. People want to be around other people that make them happy, and smiles and cheer are contagious. I have seen so many completely unqualified people get the job simple because they were likable.

I am sure you have as well! You mainly see it with attractive people getting the job because they are attractive. But they are really getting the job because the atmosphere they create around them makes others like them. Thats just the way humans operate. It always causes a stir in the office. Its always unfair, but thats the way things work. So just play the system! So if your not the next top model, when interviewing make your personality attractive with a big smile and a cheerful spirit... it will get you that dream job.

Nice concept, but the audio quality is horrible and makes it difficult and distracting to listen to.

I wonder if you asked the people on Jeremiah Owyang's @ the Web Strategist list of people in social media positions if they would be up for an interview.
