The Sparkline: Know your battle first so you don't be afraid to fight

Before applying for the job, make sure you can answer this question:

How far you know about the job you are applying to? There is 5 level in this question:
1. I can make a guess how it would be
2. I have friends work in this job and I could ask him about the job
3. I have read the job qualifications and I am confident I can do 60% of what it takes
4. I ever work in this field for 6 months, I confident the job would be similarly same
5. I know the details, the key person, and the trends in this industries

If you are lower than 4, you will probably fail, even if the job requires an entry level to operate. You will face many obstacles in your probation time and your mistake is, you could not show your best performance during that period. You will be getting cut down by your company as the wrong move to hire a people. I will teach you how to make yourself look as a qualified, even you are just on the first level.

People, as a human being, makes a connection to other based on similarity and same thing happen during the job interview. I believe you ever judge a person, the way they dress, speak and you automatically assume that this guy is what. Same thing during the candidate selection, they need an expert to fill in the position, they need a candidate that can answer effectively and feel connected with the interviewer and user, and it can be learned, even for the inexperienced candidates.

An old theory every said that people will judge everything during the first impression. First impression is the first key to be connected to people and this contribute to success. If you are applying for a marketing, dress as its. Second, your selection of words contribute to what expertise you are, the more you are using a specific term that commonly used by the position you are applying, you are proved to be that person. Third, your connection, study in Linked in or browse in the google of the company you are applying to and try to hit one or two key person/ name (ex: I met Davis in tech conference as we ever talked about industrial change in South Dakota) and this will automatically assume that you are an expert in the field, as you know the big player and the industry development.

At first, especially during job interview, you will feel uncomfortable since you are not get used to it and you faked it, as same thing happen to me on the first time but just ignore this feeling since you will come up with you need to be hired in this company. The more you practice, it will come naturally. This tricks will simply boost your qualification to be level 4 impression. Good luck on job searching and never give up.
