    Self Confidence Building for Job Hunters

    Layoffs and fewer job opportunities have made the Washington job scene a buyer’s market; there is a glut of good candidates. Relax, with all of the layoffs, if you are out there looking, you’re probably one of them. As always, though, landing a good job means going through the dreaded job interview. Some of them are friendly. Others are meat grinders. In any case, here are ten tips for wowing ‘em and making them want to call you for a return visit.

    4. Demonstrate a sense of humor, but don’t do 20 minutes of standup about your off-the-wall family. Stay focused.
    5. Prepare a great, 30-second speech on your accomplishments on the job and elsewhere.
