Therapy's Best (By Howard Rosenthal) - Part II Job Hunting Special

* Richard Nelson Bolles on Job-Hunting: Resume --> Interview --> Job; "A resume is something you should never send ahead, but always leave behind (after the interview)." Customize it by the information through the interview.

* Interview tips: 1) Try to let the interviewer speak half the time; while you speak the other half. 2) When you are asked a question by the interviewer, your answer to each question should last between twenty seconds to two minutes. No more. If you need more time for that question, say, "I could amplify this if you wish." 3) Put yourself in the chair; and mind-set, of the interviewer.

* A resource to help the employer instead of a job beggar. Think primarily of what he or she can do for the employer, not primarily about what the employer can do for him or her. Send a thank-you note after the interview.

* Transferable skills - advising, budgeting, developing, illustrating, auditing, coordinating, diagnosing, fixing, lecturing, driving, negotiating, painting, planning, recruiting, selling, singing, typing, troubleshooting, writing, etc.

* Career & Vocational Counselors: It is not your "techniques" that are most helpful to your CLs. It is your empathy and your compassion. For example, it is your ties to the internal world of spirit, not your knowledge of salaries in the workplace, which makes you the most helpful.
