One should know that it will definitely take time for employees to warm up with the idea, especially at this day and age when the slogan seems to be “every man for himself.” You may, however, start the convincing process using the following tips:

1. Do not schedule social / community activities on weekends.
Many companies would schedule drives on weekends. After all, by this time, the employees are usually on their day-offs. However, this is quite a wrong idea. Employees do value their time, and weekends are sacred. These are the times when they can be with their friends and family.

2. Spare the cash as much as possible.
Consider encouraging your employees to donate clothes, food, or any material things, except for cash. Give them the chance to have more control over their salaries. Moreover, there is a good chance they have more things they’re willing to give.

3. Put up several volunteer forms on the board.
The employees themselves can be better advocates for the growth of the community. They just need someone to light the fire and they can do the rest. You can start by creating a volunteer group, which will spearhead social responsibility projects for the company. If a big group is too much for your organization, you can set up a mini-volunteer booth in your office or in the community you’re trying to help. As an information drive, put up a volunteer sign-up sheet in your office’s bulletin board. Don’t worry if only a few will register. Should the volunteerism activity becomes successful, it will not be long before the rest will follow.

4. Reward them.
You can create or develop special awards to those who participate in various activities. These include Leadership Award and Social Civic Award (or you can create your own names for them). Many employees are highly motivated when it comes to recognition. Handing them awards will be one of the best methods to capture their attention. Besides, it’s only right to honor those who are willing to contribute.

5. Know their best interests.
If your clean-up drive is going nowhere, do not immediately assume no one wants to take responsibility. One obvious reason for this is that the activity doesn’t really match the employees’ interests. You, as the HR officer, might want to take time knowing their interests. Also, determine which organizations you can help or can help you, and identify how you can align them to your company’s goals and objectives.

6. Make them part of the process.
Coming up with social projects does not happen overnight. It involves a lot of stages. While you are at it, you might as well encourage your employees to help you out. You can delegate tasks or ask for ideas on how to stage a certain activity more successfully.

To make a successful career change, you have to know what type of career is going to suit your personality. Psychometric tests are a quick, convenient way of “personality typing” – getting an idea of which specific personality group you fall into in terms of skill sets, ambitions and aspirations. Once you know which group you fall into, it’s easier to assess what type of career might be suited to you…

To breeze through the phone interview, consider the following tips:

• Expect a call.
You did not submit your resume for no reason. You somehow hope the company will contact you for an interview. Expecting the call is good for you. This will reduce the nervousness you are going to feel during the actual call. You will also be forced to make more preparations.

• Carry your resume around.
Some HR officers will call you beforehand, telling you the interview schedule. Most, however, do not. Just to be sure, have your resume ready at all times. Although you can keep all information in your head, you really don’t want to count on that. It is common for job-seekers to suffer from mental block when under a lot of pressure.

• Stay away from the crowd.
Also, stay away from places with too many people. These include the mall, market, department store, children’s playground, busy streets, etc.

It is very important for you to hear the caller’s voice very clearly. Requesting the interviewer to repeat the questions can sometimes be very awkward. A quiet environment will make the conversation more pleasant.

• Turn off call waiting.
To avoid any interruption during the conversation, turn off phone features that may cut the line. This includes the call waiting feature.

• Speak slowly.
There are two reasons for this. First, the slowness will give you enough time to compose your thoughts while you speak. Second, your voice will be heard very clearly on the other line.

• Give different contact details.
Besides your cell phone, provide your landline number. This way, if you can’t be reached through your mobile, the company has another alternative. Sometimes, a number of mobile phones do not function well and are very prone to lost signal, low battery, and frequent interference.

• Consider giving other alternatives.
Sometimes the call may happen while you are in a tight situation or when you are driving. If this happens, be frank enough to tell the interviewer of your condition and why you cannot take the call just yet. After declining, suggest another option or tell the caller to call you back within minutes.

• Practice the interview.
You can come up, prepare, and practice with standard telephone interview questions. Have someone call you up and answer the questions as if you are really talking to a company interviewer. Allow the other person to assess you. By practicing, you can minimize dead times and pauses.

• Take down notes.
If you passed the phone interview, you will be asked for another interview – this time it’s an actual one. Some of the questions asked during the phone interview might be raised again. Sometimes, you will be asked to confirm some of your previous answers. For consistency, take down notes during the phone interview. You can also record it. Just ask for the caller’s permission first to record the phone call.

There are many ways on how you can breeze through the process and come out not only victorious but also very impressive. How is that for a good start in the company? You may simply have to keep in mind these tips:

Before the Interview:
• Meditate.
Or do something that will make you release those jumpy nerves. You can practice visualization too. Picture yourself facing and talking to several people. Through this, you can already determine how you are going to act in front of the panel. The more you meditate and visualize, the more you will feel comfortable about the idea.

• Research.
You can plan yourself with a series of test questions, but nothing will completely prepare you. The key is to just research — the company, the nature of your job, and even the people who will probably interview you. Normally, a panel interview involves the top guns. These include the middle- and top-level managers.

• Dress appropriately.
There is really such a thing as “dress to impress”, and you should do this in one swoop. Dressing can also affect your own mood. When you look professional, you will also think and act like one.

During the Interview:
• Maintain eye contact.
Here is the good news: the interviewers don’t talk all together during a panel interview. To show your sincerity, make sure you maintain eye contact to the one who’s asking the question. In the middle of your answer, you can then start shifting your focus to the rest of the interviewers. Then before you close, return your attention to the source of the question.

• Keep your hands on your lap.
When you are made to sit in the middle of the room, the best thing to do is to keep your back on the chair and place your hands on your lap. This way, you are free to move them when you want to make an emphasis. Crossing your arms is considered rude and inappropriate.

• Take time to answer.
But make sure it is not too long. You simply have to organize your thoughts. Remember, if you are going to mess up, you’re going to do so big time.

• Listen to your own answers.
Anticipate plenty of follow-up questions during the course of the interview, so your main goal is to establish consistency to all your answers.

After the Interview:
• Give thanks to the panel.
Once the interview is over, take time to give everyone a very firm handshake and a gracious “Thank you!”.

Here are the five possible reasons why you’re not given a chance to go through the initial interview:

1. It‘s all in your resume.
Your resume is and will always be a very powerful tool, especially when you are still trying to land a job. Any mistake can work against you. That includes misspellings and grammatical errors. You will less likely receive attention if your qualifications do not match those expected by the employer. Also, a resume without a list of references is considered inferior.

Before you submit your resume, make sure you have checked all the details. Be complete and truthful to all information. Some employers are good in scrutinizing resumes, they can tell which ones are fabricated.

2. You failed the written examination.
Some employers will conduct a written examination before the interview. There are a number of reasons for this, but the primary basis is that a written exam can eliminate those who don’t have enough idea about the job. This way, only the best among the batch of applicants can be prepped for an interview. Surely, you cannot proceed to the next level if you fail the tests.

3. There is someone much better than you.
You might believe that you have what it takes to land the position, but unfortunately, someone could be more qualified than you. This is something you don’t have a control of. You can greatly reduce the chances of being sidestepped by improving your skills.

4. You don’t have the personality.
Just because it is an accounting job, it does not mean you have to be Mr. Grinch. Friendliness, open-mindedness, and a high sense of comfort and trust to people around you still count. A lot of employers do judge people by their gut feel. If they think you are not friendly enough, they may be apprehensive of hiring you. After all, this might mean you are a hard person to talk to.

Certainly, there are some traits you cannot change about yourself, but you can try to be more approachable and confident in dealing with people.

5. You were not just nice.
This is one good reason why you should treat the receptionist or even the security guard properly. You may not be aware of it, but a number of them can actually put a good (or bad) word for you to the employer.

You don’t have to give them special treats when you submit your resume, but make sure you leave a good impression by giving them your sweetest smile or just a simple “Hi!”. This is also an excellent way to get to know more about the company’s culture. Moreover, if you land the job, you already have a potential friend to count on.
