You are in a panic. You need a job fast and recruiters won’t return your call. You don’t have anything on the back burner because you thought you could just call the recruiter and get set up. After all everyone knows a recruiter or two. Well, times have changed. Recruiters hold the cards now.
So how can you prevent this from happening to you?
How can you achieve the star status necessary to ensure that recruiters are calling you before you need them to?

First, it’s important to understand the recruiter mindset.
A recruiter makes money through placements. Translation – they make their living by placing you in the highest paid position possible – the higher the level of the placement, the higher the fee.Ergo, the more marketable you are, the more recruiters want to work with you.It’s a numbers game. A successful recruiter spends time with the most marketable resources first. The key is to make you the most marketable resource.

Want to make this happen?
The process itself is easy, however, it requires planning and consistency in order to implement a solid and productive marketing plan. The more of the following action items you apply the more high profile you become.

Watch Don show you exactly how to answer this job interview question, do you work well under pressure.

Do you know what a behavioral interview is? Your next interview could be a behavioral one. Many companies believe this is the ideal way to predict a candidate’s potential for job success. Behavioral interviewing is basically a standardized method designed to draw out information from a candidate about his past behavior and performance in order to judge his future behavior, and hence his chances of performing successfully at the current job.

During a behavioral interview a candidate is asked a series of questions that focus on examples of actions and behavior, which interviewers will use to assess proficiency of the candidate in one or more job-related areas. These areas can include anything from adaptability to leadership to problem solving. Another aspect interviewers will definitely focus on, though they may not question a candidate on it, is the impression of their physical presence and communication skills – both verbal and non-verbal.

The kind of questions a candidate can expect at a behavioral interview can be of the following kinds:

1. Describe a difficult problem that you tried to solve. How did you identify the problem? How did you go about trying to solve it? (Demonstrates problem solving)

2. Describe a time when you tried to persuade another person to do something that he/she was not very willing to do. (Demonstrates leadership)

3. Describe a time when you decided on your own that something needed to be done, and you took on the task to get it done. (Demonstrates initiative)

Answers to these questions will decide the candidate’s fate as far as that particular job is concerned. There is more or less an invariable format in which the answers should be given, which one can think of as the STAR format:

1. Situation or Task: Describe the context in which the behavior or action took place.

2. Action: Guide the interviewer through the course of your action and the steps you took to cope with the situation. Be clear and concise.

3. Results: What were the results of your endeavors? Even if you were not as successful in achieving your target as you would have wanted, make it clear to the employers that you understood the core problem and the implications of the outcome and why it happened.

There are certain steps you can take to prepare yourself for behavioral interviews. Look for them in the upcoming article.

If you are on the edge about getting a tattoo, a small tattoo is a perfect way to get your feet wet. It’s easy to conceal yet will provide that intimate communication when you want to reveal it.

You wont’ have to worry about the boss and those antiquated office rules that demand you keep your tatt covered. There is nothing worse then having to wear a long sleeve blouse in the hottest days of summer to cover up your body art.

If you come from a more conservative type family, one in which tattoos are frowned upon, but you want one anyway. A small tattoo keeps judgmental comments down because only you know what the experience is about, because you got a tattoo despite it all.

Let’s be honest, tattoos still are a little bit trashy and a lot ****. That’s why some people will never get them, and others just can’t find enough body space for more.

So which are the hottest small tattoo’s today?

After interviewing a few tattoo artists in my local area, the consensus was that the most popular small tattoos that men and women are getting done are the konji (Asian symbols and letters) tattoos. Most requested place on the body? Top of the foot for women, rib cage for men.

Other secondary requests include small roses, hearts and skulls in areas of the body that are mostly hidden.

During the interview process I also picked up 2 other tidbits of info. Many tatt artists shy away from smaller tattoo applications because they, in some way, defeat one of the primary functions of having a tattoo on the body. Which is, to compliment the physical features of the individual.

A small tattoo is just that, too small for accentuating your bodies strengths and beauty.

There is also a body limitation related to body art. The smaller the tat the shorter the life span. You see, the body is an organ that will change and stretch over time so the clarity of a tattoo is limited to it’s size. In other words, the older you get the more distorted your body art will become.

So whatever the motivation for getting a small tattoo, know that it has it advantages as well as it’s disadvantages.
