The interview in 2010

I was ask what has changed in the interview process lately. Well to be honest, quite a bit.




The first thing I do is Google someone. This quickly can tell me a lot about someone. Now, getting back little information is not bad.



Next is the questions surrounding a company’s web presence. What is on the web page and such. Really, if you are wanting to have long term employment with a company, would you not want to know as much as you can about that company? This would also give you ammo on good questions to ask.



Last would be energy. Having a positive energy. OK sure this has not changed. Yet it is so important. If you cannot keep positive energy during a short interview, how would you expect to keep it long term in a job?



OH YEA. Last is a simple one. MAKE SURE YOU SPELL YOUR WORDS CORRECT IN YOUR RESUME. It is written in Word, the wavy line under the words are a clue that they are spelled WRONG! If you cannot get this most basic starting place correct, do not expect an interview. I am terrible at spelling. However I can use word…
