We hear from job seekers every day who are sending out hundreds of resumes and job applications never to be heard from again.

Top 20 Body Language Indicators

noreply@blogger.com (Z. Khan) — Thu, 16 May 2013 04:08:00 +0000

Communication can be fascinating. For most, the exchange of information begins and ends with words. However, there are a lot of other factors to consider. The tone of voice that a phrase is said in can completely change the meaning of the phrase. It can turn insults into jokes and jokes into insults. Another way to tell the true intentions of what someone is saying or doing is to look for body language indicators. Body language is an interesting concept. The human body makes a lot of unconscious motions depending on the situation....

4 Simple Ways To Overcome The Age Factor In Your Resume

noreply@blogger.com (Z. Khan) — Thu, 09 May 2013 19:39:00 +0000

Growing older is something that creeps into the mind of many professionals, especially if they've reached their 50s or 60s and are on the hunt for a new job. Some worry they may not be considered viable candidates in the eyes of employers when compared to younger professionals. But as a wise, skilled, top-level candidate, there is no reason for you to feel any less qualified. In fact, you are likely more qualified than younger competitors; you just need to prove it. So, take time to do so on your resume by utilizing the following four...

When it comes to understanding how to balance the need to keep a sharp eye on the bottom line and keep a workforce fully satisfied and productive, some managers and companies seem to get it while others don't have a clue.There's a ton of research and surveys that prove the following: Satisfied employees = satisfied customers = profitable companies While I may not be a researcher, I have no shortage of stories from readers, friends, family, and acquaintances that bring this simple formula to life.

Four Leader Behaviors That Build Or Break Trust

noreply@blogger.com (Z. Khan) — Tue, 07 May 2013 10:04:00 +0000

There are two ways that leaders break trust with their people. The first is dramatic—a leader betrays a confidence, engages in self-serving behavior, or has a serious moral or ethical lapse. This type of breach usually ends up being very public—and once it occurs, the only remedy is damage control. The second way that leaders break trust with people is more common, happens slowly, and usually is obvious to others but unknown to the leader. A pattern of behavior—often well-intentioned—will result in the leader undermining their ...

3 Questions All Hiring Managers Ask Themselves About You

noreply@blogger.com (Z. Khan) — Sun, 05 May 2013 18:40:00 +0000

A well known career coach once said, "A resume is a necessary evil." Some HR folks will cringe at that statement, despite it's truth. So, I'd like to take a moment and analyze exactly why that statement is some of the best job seeking advice you could get. After all, too many job seekers spend all their time polishing off a resume to submit in an application process. Now, there are essentially three questions all hiring managers need to have answered before they can make a decision about hiring you or not. They are: Do I like...

Interview Questions You Should Ask

noreply@blogger.com (Z. Khan) — Sun, 05 May 2013 18:38:00 +0000

Job hunters ask me all the time about how to respond to difficult questions. But when preparing for an interview, people often forget to prepare questions to ask when the interview is winding down and the person on the other side of the desk asks, "So… are there some questions of yours that you have for me?" Just because you are asking the questions at this point does not mean the questions should be about you, your wants, or your needs. The biggest mistake of all is to use this as an opportunity to ask what everyone already knows is...

Streamline Your Team’s Communications

noreply@blogger.com (Z. Khan) — Thu, 02 May 2013 09:31:00 +0000

Today, with a few key strokes and hitting the send key it's easy to communicate with one person or thousands. Too frequently, however, the message gets lost in the medium and fails to resonate with the intended audience. The lessons I've learned in launching OfficeMax and my newest venture Max-Wellness have convinced me that a leader's management style should mirror that of a benevolent dictator. The "dictator" side makes the difficult decisions when the time for talking is done, but the "benevolent" side does so by putting the...

Managers: Don’t Make This Mistake With Your Best People

noreply@blogger.com (Z. Khan) — Thu, 02 May 2013 09:16:00 +0000

We all know the saying "If you want something done, give it to a busy person." It's sound advice—but it's also a dangerous habit unless you step back occasionally to see what impact it might be having on the busy person's experience at work. For most managers, having a "go to" person is a great asset. Just make sure you don't overdo it by going to the same person again and again. This is a dilemma for most managers according to Scott Blanchard in a recent blog post for Fast Company magazine. Blanchard explains that it is only...

Walking The Teamwork Tightrope

noreply@blogger.com (Z. Khan) — Wed, 01 May 2013 13:59:00 +0000

Today's work world demands that you polish your team-playing skills while making your own contributions shine, says Judith Sills, Ph.D. It was Mr. Castaldi, football coach and 11th-grade history teacher, who first introduced me to the teeth-gnashing angst of teamwork. "I've divided you into groups of five," he announced. "Research Romania and make a presentation. Everyone on your team will get the same grade." Everyone gets the same grade? Even Mickey Lombard, football star and noted slacker, who nonetheless imagined himself captain of...

Over the years I have developed my list (some of it is shared below), but I would love to hear your thoughts on what you are seeing today that makes you scratch your head, or worse, makes your skin crawl with anger.
