Most people are familiar with the traditional interviewing advice and tips -

make eye contact, arrive on time, give a firm handshake, etc. These cardinal

rules of interviewing proliferate job search information. While this advice is

crucial, it is important to ask, is it really enough to get you a job in the

current climate? Does arriving 10 minutes early really make you feel as though

you have aced the interview? Does following these rules really set you apart

from the rest of the candidates? Do they lower your overall anxiety and make you feel calm and confident? No, no, and no? Then, what are you to do?

Effective interviewing results not only from heeding the traditional advice, but also from taking control of the situation. You can do this by

Interviewing from Multiple Perspectives.

5 Steps to Getting the Raise the You Deserve - A Guide for Women
Posted: 8/31/2004 1:45:48 PM

Women often feel their work should stand for itself and therefore tend to wait for someone else to tell them when (and if) they deserve increased rewards or recognition, such as a raise. Rewards and recognition are a crucial part of your job and play a significant role in your confidence and sense of control over your career. Unfortunately, you relinquish a lot of control by waiting for others to bestow favorable things upon you. As with many things in life, you will not know what is possible unless you ask. Of course, asking for a raise is a very anxiety producing and scary proposition for most. However, with the proper preparation and perspective, you just may be surprised at how successful you are. Berkman Fives has developed an effective and actionable approach to this process. This approach not only takes holistic perspective on the process, but also helps prepares you for effective negotiation.
