Zac L's Trademarked Interview Tips!

A job interview is something almost everyone in their life has to deal with. Therefore it is crucially important that you are as prepared as possible for when the time comes. There are countless tips available for preparing for an interview but I have compiled what I think are the most vital for success.

1. The first and what I believe is most important is your first impression. The best way to make the best first impression is to “dress to impress”. Looking professional is always appropriate. Being on time is also included in making a good impression!

2. Before the interview, it is important that you practice what you’re going to say and answer sample questions that you could be asked.( Creating a mock interview with a friend can be very helpful)

3. You should gather as much information about the job as possible. Being prepared gives you an extremely higher chance of getting hired!

4. During the interview, you should make sure and maintain proper etiquette. This will help with your professionalism.

5. Lastly, when your interview is complete, you should prepare a thank you note. Make sure you let the interviewer know how pleased you were to have the chance to interview with him or her.( This is the most commonly forgot protocol for an interview)

All of these tips encompass what I like to call the 3 P’s: Being prepared, professional, and polite!

Jorge C Writing Completely

Writing completely

Every time you write there is a purpose and writing completely is addressing to that purpose and answering every question there is. An issue that can arrive from leaving out information is that the readers are not going to be able to find what they looking for, which would be a waste of time for them to read the work, as well as for it to be written. Readers want relevant information, presented in a manner that is clear and easy to understand. In the planning stages try to put yourself in your readers shoes. Writing completely means including all the useful information needed to fully understand the writer’s objectives. For example, a few days ago I saw this poster on my door with a title “Booza Palooza” with a big picture of a beer mug. The poster had the location and the time, with the words “Free Food and Drinks”, and asked “How good you can see with beer goggles?” I was very excited, it sounded fun so I showed the poster to my roommates and they thought it was going to be a good event. However, when we got to the place there was no food and the only drinks they had was water. After a while, a few cops showed up and started giving a speech on the issues with drinking and why it is bad for you. I thought it was completely boring, and on top of it all there were no beer goggles. I was mad with the rest of the people that went to the event. This is a clear example of what happens when you leave information out. I hope you remember this tip next time you write a paper or do a poster.

Danielle G. Instant messaging in the professional world

When instant messaging in the professional world, it is important to know who your audience is. Whenever I am writing an email or message to a friend I never fully write out my sentences. Instead of writing, oh my gosh! Okay, I guess I will talk to you later. I would say OMG! K. TTYL :).Clearly this is NOT how you would write to your boss or fellow co-workers, unless you know this is fully acceptable.
When writing to others, and are not sure what style is acceptable. It is always best to go with plain ole english. If not, the future client or costumer can get the wring idea about you and the place you work for. To fully understand the improper way to send messages at work, I have provided a toondoo to show you what improper messaging can lead to. I have also provided a video on the benefits of instant messaging in the business world.
