Make a Great First Impression
Six Interview Answers You Need to Get Hired
By Peter Vogt, Monster Senior Contributing Writer
During the typical job interview, you'll be asked a lot of questions. But do you really understand what the interviewer needs to know?
"Most students have no idea why a recruiter asks a particular question," says Brad Karsh, a former recruiting professional for advertising giant Leo Burnett and current president of career consulting firm Job Bound. "They tend to think it's a competition to outwit the interviewer."
The reality is that employers have neither the time nor inclination to play games with you, especially when hiring. Your interviewer is not trying to outguess you -- he's trying to assess your answers to six key questions:
Do You Have the Skills to Do the Job?
According to Karsh, the employer must first determine whether you have the necessary hard skills for the position, e.g., the programming knowledge for a database administration job or the writing chops to be a newspaper reporter. "By really probing into what the candidate has done in the past, an interviewer can tap into hard skills."
But the interviewer is also looking for key soft skills you'll need to succeed in the job and organization, such as the ability to work well on teams or "the requisite common sense to figure things out with some basic training," says Terese Corey Blanck, director of student development at internship company Student Experience and a partner in College to Career, a consulting firm.
Do You Fit?
"Every organization's first thought is about fit and potentially fit in a certain department," Corey Blanck says. That means the interviewer is trying to pinpoint not only whether you match up well with both the company's and department's activities but also whether you'll complement the talents of your potential coworkers.
Do You Understand the Company and Its Purpose?
If the organization fits well with your career aspirations, you'll naturally be motivated to do good work there -- and stay more than a month or two, Corey Blanck reasons. "I don't want someone to take the position because it's a job and it fits their skills. I want them to be excited about our mission and what we do."
How Do You Stack Up Against the Competition?
You're being evaluated in relation to other candidates for the job. In other words, this test is graded on a curve. So the interviewer will constantly be comparing your performance with that of the other candidates'.
Do You Have the Right Mind-Set for the Job and Company?
"I'm always looking for someone who has a can-do type of attitude," Corey Blanck explains. "I want someone who wants to be challenged and is internally motivated to do well.
Corey Blanck points out that an employer can't train for this essential trait. "But you can hire for it. And if you don't, you'll end up with a lower-performing employee."

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge...
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable...
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Work at Home thru oDesk
oDesk is a global job marketplace for small and medium sized business that hire, manage and pay remote freelancers or teams who basically want to work at the comfort of their own home. Based in Menio Park, CA, Odesk was founded in 2003 by Greek students Odysseas Tsatalos and Stratis Karamanlakis. Since Outsourcing is the latest trend of contracting out job opportunities, Odysseas and Stratis created a marketplace in which freelance workers and potential employers can connect. The site manage the payments, and make money by charging 10% of the employer's payment to oDesk which equates to 11.11% on top of the amount paid to the contractor.
Basically you need to create your own career profile first, and need to answer oDesk Readiness Test before you can apply for any jobs that you're interested in. And if you want to enhance your profile, taking skills test would help and would be an advantage to land a job. Then after creating your profile, is the hourly rate. This rate should reflect the level and quality of work that you provide. If you are not sure what rate to set, you can go through Oconomy pages to check how much you would be paid for the exact same job at an office or look through other providers/contractors. Your resume plays an important role too because this is where you show off your skills and other work experiences. If you are good on other skills not related to your previous jobs, for example you're familiar with Web Designs/Creation then flaunt it! Clients search for providers/contractors based on their skills, so if you want to receive job offers, your resume is the perfect place to showcase your skills and provides a brief description of how you utilized these skills in your previous jobs. When you're done with your profile, then time to give attention to your cover letter. Make sure you know what you're talking about, that you understand the job description set by the client. One piece of advice, never send same cover letters, because clients know if you're using a form cover letter. They appreciate if you put extra effort to write a custom letter.
Payment Methods: There are a lot of payment methods offered at oDesk that you can choose from:
1. PAYONEER - This is the fastest payment method. You get your card loaded within two days or get the funds in your card immediately in more or less than two hours
by paying $3 for immediate load fee. You can use the card for with any Mastercard merchant purchase or choose to withdraw the funds in the card
for $2.15 per withdrawal + 3% of the withdrawal amount. You are limited to the maximum withdrawal limit in which the ATM is designed, therefore,
if the limit is P10,000 and you need to get P12,000 from the card fund, you need to pay $2.15 for every withdrawal (that is, $2.15 for the first P10,000
then another $2.15 for the remaining $3,000). If you lose your debit card, you need to wait quite a long time (a month is long enough) after requesting a replacement card.
2. PAYPAL (Verified Personal accounts) - Could be cheaper to use than when withdrawing funds with Payoneer. Just pay $1.00 withdrawal from oDesk and only P50 from Paypal to the Philippine bank (withdrawal is FREE if the amount to be withdrawn is P7,000 above); Unionbank does not charge for incoming transfers from Paypal while BDO charges P200
and BPI charges 150. It takes a longer time to withdraw the money to a local bank and there is no other way to expedite the transfer (5 to 7 working days).
But in my case, it only takes a day before funds are transferred to my BPI account.
3. MONEYBOOKERS - I have not tried to withdraw money into my Moneybookers account so I am not able to provide information on all the details.
4. WIRE TRANSFER - This is another method that is possible, but I wouldn't recommend using this. Withdrawal from oDesk can be quite expensive ($30 per withdrawal).
5. LOCAL FUNDS TRANSFER - This is the most direct and least expensive withdrawal method for contractors with bank accounts in the Philippines. With Local Funds Transfer, you directly deposit your earnings into your local bank account, in Pesos, for a low, flat fee. oDesk charges $1.99 per withdrawal in Philippines Peso but it's free for your first transaction:
BPI: FREE | Union Bank: P50 | BDO: P200 | Metrobank: P76.70
ChinaBank: P200 | RCBC: P100 | LandBank: P50 | PNB: P250
