Depending on the type of job you apply for, interviews can vary quite a bit. Once I worked in retail. The store was small and not the most professional looking, but I loved their cheap clothes and knew they were hiring. When I went in for my interview, the manager took me into the back because the office was a tiny box in the extreme back of the storage room. We went through his list of questions and finished the interview and I thought I could go, but then he says, “Wait here, I’ll get the assistant manager and do the second interview so you don’t have to come back later.” I was so surprised… this was my first job and I have never heard of such a thing as a second interview. But I made it through and got the job.

You are kidding yourself if you think you are going to get a great internship that pays extremely well.

Freelance Keeping Up With Your CareerSaturday, May 23rd, 2009Career coaching isn’t meant to be an “every once in a while” thing. You need to be constantly be checking in with your coach and meeting with them. Think how a sports team would react if they only checked in with their coach every once in a while? For example, what if Bill Belichick met with the Patriots at the beginning of the season, then didn’t talk to them until right before the play-offs started? Not very effective right? That’s how you need to treat your career coaching. It should be a regular meeting at least a few times a month, and if you can’t meet in person check-in via e-mail or through a phone call.
