Job Hunting Basics : knowing your future employer Part 2

jobhunt2.jpgOffice culture is the hardest thing one can predict when it comes to the workplace especially now when there are more and more people working out of the office. There is a certain level of culture within the office itself may it be bound by walls in traditional offices with desks or the ones that do not have bounds with employer and employees not even knowing each other personally as with telecommuting. The only way they know each other is through the net which has now become the mainstream bloodline of companies all over the world where they rely on for marketing, and other business functions. Be sure to check out extensively the prospective company you intend to get employed with. As we have stated, getting to know your employer might not always be possible but doing a little background work can get you information that will ultimately get you hired. Try to get a feel for how the company runs, like most telecommuting companies who have informal business practices and so on and so forth. Never forget respect, and treat everybody who deserves it with it. Simple salutations and endings to correspondence (like saying thank you the end of every email) say a lot about you and your character even though you don�t know these people personally.

The Right Motivation

Sometimes we wonder what really drives us to do better, or at least what makes us do the things we do. There are a lot of reasons, but behind these reasons, there are always principles that determine the way we carry out our actions. It is very important that we know our values and that we are not uncertain to enact them. We may have all the goals in mind but if we don’t put value first, the end result won’t be what we expect. Putting value in everything that we do, especially in our work, would prove that there is more to just living life in the economic sense. Upholding values proves that we answer to a calling of survival and success that will last a lifetime.

Who’s your market?

To have the passion for a product or to be familiar with the industry is not enough. As in all businesses, you have to study it, research about it, and assess your competition.
The point here is that you must know who your market will be. You don’t need to be a scientist to research your market and you won’t even need to hire a market researcher whom you’ll end up paying thousands just for that simple task. For the most part, all you have to do is talk to your friends and they’ll talk to their relatives. Chat up with your relatives and have their friends come over as well. You can also simply ask some random person on the street. Engage in small talks in the supermarkets or malls, as all the potential target consumers are all in those kinds of places. Ask them general questions that you can relate to the product you have in mind. It might be too informal to record but the spontaneity is what gives it its validity. Simple, but reliable research is what you have!

就職面接、相性の問題

写真提供:

面接は就職活動で一番難しい部分です。相性の問題でもあります。多少の幸運も必要です。基本的には雇用主は完全な人を探しているわけではありません。会社が信頼できる正直でヤル気があり、訓練された人を探しています。時間通りに通勤するような責任感があり、一日の仕事をきちんと出来る人を探しています。

では面接をいかにこなせばよいでしょうか。

貴方の弱点を宣伝しないでください。 だれでも弱点はあります。否定しないでください。 弱点を認め、改善すると言ってください。
面接者は貴方が口を開く前に貴方について何かを知っています。 貴方の外見は貴方の内部を反映します。

  • 貴方が応募している会社について調査してください。
  • 適切な服装で面接に行ってください。
  • 身体的にも感情的にも準備しておきましょう。

Job Interviews: A Matter of Chemistry

Image Source:

Job interviews are the hardest part in applying for a job. It is a matter of chemistry. It requires a small amount of luck. The basic thing you need to know is that an employer is not looking for the perfect guy. He is looking for someone whom the company can depend on, honest, self-motivated and disciplined. Responsible enough to arrive at work on time and give a fair day’s work.

So what are the ways to get through an interview?

Know how to play down your weaknesses. Everyone of us has a particular area of weakness. Don’t deny it. Admit to it and offer to improve on it.
The interviewer learns something about you before you speak. Your personal appearance greatly reflects on what you are inside.

  • Research about the company you are applying for.
  • You must come dressed appropriately.
  • Come prepared, physically and emotionally.
