Job Hunting and Scheduling an Interview
My Recent Experiences
So I recently submit my interview to a few different places online. I used monster.com and usajobs.gov to find something related to my field. As the phone calls began to come in I began to schedule my interviews by a first come first serve basis. (Remember they are calling you which means your application was already good enough for them to make the effort to call you.) When you receive the phone call for the interview make sure to be speak clearly and annunciate. The phone call is a test to see how much your paying attention. Basically you need to get 4 pieces of information: 1- Company they represent, 2- Person who is calling + their position, 3- Time and Date of Interview, 4- Directions + Call back number. Always keep in mind that it’s best to take the offered time and date the interviewer asks for. By taking their time slot you are working with them and showing that this interview is important to you.
Unless you have surgery or an extreme situation I would try my very best to take the first option the interviewer asks for. By waiting or pushing the interview to a later time may put you hours or days behind excellent competing applicants. Trust me they write everything down, especially your “reschedule” offer. I had to skip out on a doctor’s appointment to make an interview, I didn’t end up getting the job but here was my mind set. Interview = Job = Money … Doctor = Deductible/Coverage = Less Money. It’s not exactly logical in a educational standpoint but you get my point.
The Job Interview Saga continues…

This month was a bit rough for the blog. Finishing school, searching for work, and getting ready for graduate school took a toll on my allotted time to dedicate to this blog. As you all know, this is a hobby of mine and not a job. I blog when I can because I enjoy doing so. I hope to get back into the normal flow of things as life calms down after my college graduation last week, and as I find a steady 9-5 job which I can keep during graduate school.
My spyder mate stayed the same this month, for the most part which was good. I will continue to try and improve on this within the coming months.
Top 3 Areas Traffic Came from for May 2009:
#1 – Search Engines (Windows Live/MSN Search had about 55% of the queries – Google and Google images about 25% – others 20%)
#2 – Entrecard + Twitter (retweets)
#3 – Viral Marketing ( March’s articles + press releases)

Hello everyone, what a hectic month just passed. The last 3 weeks of classes up until the very end of this month I was swamped with personal and school work. As time began to crunch I needed to focus and prioritize on what was truly important in my life right now: Getting a Job and Getting into Grad School! Luckily, I got into graduate school and am very close to having an ideal “career” job.
