Member You - Successful Interviewing: 7 Questions You Must Always Ask
From meager beginnings in 1920, radio has grown with us to be a major player in advertising. The radio industry says they get about 8 percent of all advertising bucks. Not bad when you consider the many ways to hawk your service or productThey get their fair share because radio works. With over twelve THOUSAND radio stations in the country, the music and news they broadcast is everywhere.Radio is the mobile medium. Few cars have TV’s up front, and few drivers can read the New York Times while driving (safely). The advertising on radio targets you passively. You don't have t
4. “Where do you see yourself in 3 years time?”
Their answer gives an idea of the direction they are going in and whether you will be able to meet their expectations if you hired them.
Similarly, if someone has future plans to manage teams, go travelling, start their own business or just stay in the same field - this is key information you require in order to make a decision to hire them or not.
5. “What is your current/
Although it is crucially important, Brand is one of the most confusing and misunderstood words used in business. Much of this confusion and misunderstanding comes from the fact that there are three distinct meanings associated with this word.There is the widespread use of the word used to refer to a particular product. This is the common use of the word. Then there is the use of the word to refer to certain signs, such as brand names, logos, symbols, colors and sounds that typically 'belong' to the business that markets the product. This is the formal use of the word. And then there is
Similarly, many business owners go through the whole recruitment process and make an offer to someone they like only to find that they have chosen to take another role.
Very often this “mis - hiring” of people or “missing out" on people is down to the way in which these people have been interviewed – in particular the questions that were are asked (or rather NOT asked!).
You see, if you ask the right questions you drastically increase the chances obtaining enough information to then ensure you recruit the right people.
The questions you ask at interview will depend on the type of role you are looking to fill, the type of business you are in and your own personal style. But there are 7 questions that you must ask every candidate regardless of the type of role you are hiring for:
1. “What are your reasons for leaving your current (or last) role?”
You are looking to see if there is a logical and rational reason here for leaving as well as looking out for any unusual circumstances. You also need to understand why they are leaving to ensure they are not then looking to leave your business within a few months of joining for the very same reason.
2. “What are you ideally looking for in your next job?”
By getting them to paint a picture of their ideal job, you get all the ‘hooks’ to then sell your opportunity at the end of the interview and so maximise the chances of securing a hire if they are right for you.
3. “What attracts you to our role / business? What made you apply?”
This gives you the opportunity to see how much they have thought about your role or business and how likely they are to be committed to you. Once again gives you plenty of hooks to sell the role if you end up competing against another employer.
4. “Where do you see yourself in 3 years time?”

While Customer Relationship Management (CRM) technology has promised much, the reality for many has been disappointing. Industry analysts estimate 50-60% of implementations fail, or produce marginal return on investment. Our exposure to small and medium enterprises (SME) suggests that this rate may well be significantly higher. The irony is that the problem lies less with the technology itself (though that may receive much of the blame), but in much more easily addressed flaws in the way that organizations approach and implement CRM projects.CRM technology should help organizations generate

Business traveling, even with all of its hustle, bustle, and flat hotel pillows, does have one perk: your company pays for it. Whether they reimburse you for cars from rental agencies or for the miles you put on your own vehicle, one thing stands between you and your financial compensation: tangible proof of what you’ve spent.Keeping financial records of business trips may seem – on the surface – quite simple. However, when more pressing matters get in the way – late plane departures, important business meetings, getting lost in a new city – it’s rather easy to lose track of what you are sp

With all the cutbacks, right-sizing and outplacement occurring in today’s corporate world, career change is very difficult. Many blindlessly list their resumes on Monster or Career Builder hoping for a quick interview and job offer. However, my best advice, provided during career training sessions in my role as a career coach, is to seek out budding career fields with a dearth of highly qualified candidates. One such field is SEO (Search Engine Optimization) and SEM (Search Engine Marketing). Though distinct, they cross over into one exploding industry that provides vast opportunities for those tr

“Quality means doing it right when no one is looking.” ~Henry FordDo you cut corners in your products and services? Or do you make the honest effort to do it right even when no one is looking? You can’t expect perfection as that is an impossible goal for the imperfect people we are. The question is simply if you have done your best. Do you do the job right even if your customer or client may never know the difference?Marketing with Integrity is about loving your customer. Develop a relationship with them. Advise them. Help them. Offer them products and services which will help them.

5. “What is your current/last salary and package?”
Make sure you do not leave discussions around money until the negotiation stage when you are about to offer the job as this reduces your negotiation power significantly once a candidate knows you are keen on them.
6 “What salary are you ideally looking for? What is the lowest you would consider for your ideal job?”
You want to gain as much flexibility as possible so asking about their ideal and lowest levels gives you a range to play with. This range gives you the leverage to manage expectations and ultimately ensure you achieve a successful offer.
7 “What other roles are you interviewing for at the moment? What stage are you at with these? (e.g. have you any interviews pending or offers on the table?)”
If you are interested in a candidate, asking this question gives you much better control of the situation as you know who you are competing against, how you compare and the speed at which you may need decisions in order to secure their service.
The answers to these 7 questions should tell you plenty about the person and give an indication of how suitable they are.
The answers will also gives you valuable information about how quickly you need to make decisions and what you need to pay to secure someone’s services before another employer does.
The 7 questions are not the only questions to ask - but they should ideally form the ‘spine’ of your interview. This spine should of course be combined with a series of questions about the candidates work experience, skills and knowledge so that you get a complete picture and so ensure you hire the right person.
By the way, there are some very clear steps in the ‘Find Staff NOW’ e-book that will help you to recruit the right people quickly and cost effectively. You will get a step- by-step guide on how to define what you are looking for, attract relevant people, conduct interviews
