Sometimes they work – but when it comes down to it, whether you’re wearing purple stilettos stilettos or looking the interviewer in the eye, it’s the content of the interview that matters in the long run. So what can you do that will really impress a recruiter? Ace your next interview with these tips: 1. Know your experience It’s amazing how many people stumble over what should be the easiest questions – you’re just talking about yourself! Look over your resume as you prep for the interview. Think about some of the most important projects you’ve worked on, what you liked and didn’t like about each job, and acknowledge some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced – and how you overcame them – in each role. Be ready to explain any “sketchy” details – leaving a job without another one lined up, gaps in work history, etc. You’ll have an easier time explaining and applying your experience when you know the basics like the back of your hand. 2. Know the impact that your experience has had One of the best ways to impress a recruiter is to quantify the impact you had in previous roles. Recruiters want to hear about what you’ve done and how you did it, but understanding the big picture and the impact of your work is also important. Be prepared to answer questions about outcomes – maybe a monetary savings, increasing efficiency, or an improved customer experience – and how your work played a role. Sharing outcomes lets the recruiter know that you’re able to follow a project through from start to finish and understand the big picture. 3. Apply your past experience to the job you’re interviewing for Take the challenges and outcomes you’ve already discussed and apply them to the role you’re interviewing for. It’s great to know what you’ve done, but applying that to what the company is currently doing is what will land you the job. Mention specific goals this position is intended to meet or qualities the organization is seeking (you can glean this information from the job posting as well as the initial phone screen) and discuss how you can use your skills to meet those requirements. 4. Have a conversation More often than not recruiters expect candidates to do most of the talking in the interview, but in a perfect world, the interview would be a conversation between both parties – after all, you’re both trying to figure out if you’re right for each other. Find something in common with the interviewer, and do your research on the organization to come armed with the information you need. Straight Q&A sessions can get pretty boring for recruiters, so you’ll stand out if you can get the recruiter engaged in the conversation. 5. Ask the right questions Keep the conversation flowing by asking questions that add value to the interview. Interview questions like these are great to ask in an early interview (i.e., your phone screening with a recruiter), but they don’t add a lot of value to the conversation in further rounds. Your interview questions should align more closely with what you already know about the job, and highlight the skills that you bring to the table. 6. Talk about the organization’s culture, and how you fit Most organizations showcase their culture via their website or social media. Do they post funny sayings, or pictures of community events? Or do they stick strictly to product offerings and marketing communications? Investigate these sites thoroughly before your interview to get a sense of how casual or formal you will be expected to operate both in the interview and if you get the job. By better understanding the organization’s culture, you’ll be able to provide better examples of how you’ll be a fit for their team. Company culture questions like these are a great way to bring this up in the interview. 7. Send a thoughtful follow-up note after your interview Pick out the most important points from your interview – whether it was something new you learned about the organization, a conversation topic where you really hit it off with the team, or a particular skill you might have forgotten to elaborate on – and send a short follow up within a day of your interview. You can use this note to remind them why you’re the best candidate for the role – based on your experience and your knowledge – not on tricks and gimmicks.

While Canadian résumés come in many different formats, they share some standards that you should know about. Keep it Short Keep your résumé short. In Canada, most people have a résumé that is 2 pages long. Keep it to 1 page if you finished school recently or do not have a lot of experience. Change Your Résumé for Each Job Career experts recommend that you customize your résumé for each job, especially at the beginning of your résumé. General or generic resumes do not work in today’s labour market. For some jobs, you can change a few sentences to focus on certain skills and accomplishments. For others, you may need a completely new résumé. Include Volunteer Work You should include your volunteer experience in the section on work experience. It is important to talk about what you have done. It does not matter if it was paid or unpaid work. Use Social Media Many employers cross-reference your résumé with your online presence. LinkedIn is a popular business-related social networking site. When you update your résumé, make sure to update your LinkedIn profile too. Employers may also look for you on other social media tools, such as Facebook, Twitter and blogs. First impressions are important - if you don’t want a potential employer to see something, don’t make it publically accessible or put it online at all. Formatting Hints Format is critical. Your résumé should be organized, neat, clear, and consistent in formatting (e.g., font and bullets). If you are applying for a job which requires that you have attention to detail, then you need to demonstrate this with your résumé. Use headings to organize the information in your résumé. Common résumé headings are: –Highlights of Qualifications –Professional Experience –Education Use formatting tools such as bold and bullets to make important information stand out. Use Keywords It is important to use keywords in your résumé. Employers do not read every word on each résumé. Keywords describe skills and qualifications. You might see them in the job posting that you are answering and on related companies’ websites. Enhance your résumé by using as many keywords as you can. But, do not make up experiences, just to use keywords. Look It Over Look over your résumé before you send it. Make sure the company names, job titles and dates are accurate. Print out your resume to see how it looks when printed. You may wish to save your résumé in PDF so that formatting will be consistent and employers will be able to open the document without difficulty. Types of Résumés There are 2 common types of résumés: –Chronological –Functional Chronological Résumé A chronological résumé is time-based. It is organized by the positions you have held, in order of time. You list your most recent position first. These résumés are best if you have a lot of experience in your field. They are also better for people who do not have periods of time when they were not working. Functional Résumé A functional résumé is skillsbased. It is organized by skills that you gained in your previous work. Functional résumés are best if you: –Are a recent graduate –Have major time gaps in employment –Are changing careers Many settlement or employment agencies can give you information and advice about your résumé, and how to create résumés for specific fields.

The taxes are filed and the refund should be deposited into your account in a couple of days. Like every year, you’re going to reinvest it: some into the RRSP, some in the TFSA and the balance into an RESP account. As a bonus, your debt is manageable and you’re fast-tracking your mortgage payments. Give yourself a round of applause because you are a financial champion! Sure you are — in a perfect world. But the truth is that like most Canadians, you’re probably carrying a lot of credit card and mortgage debt. And like the last few tax seasons, you owe the taxman a small king’s ransom. Feeling less smug now aren’t you? The fact is that as Boomers get closer to retirement age, many are still loaded down by debt. This is an issue because their income will be greatly reduced during retirement and paying down the debt will be increasingly more difficult. Of course, the goal is to pay it off first. The experts from Desjardins Group suggest that while you’re still working it’s important to look at your financial situation seriously and start making the necessary adjustments now. Never too late to set up good financial habits According to Statistics Canada’s “Retiring with debt” publication, over half of retirees are still paying off some form of debt. It can be in the form of loans, credit cards and lines of credit. But the good news is that these retirees owe less than Canadian workers Feb. 7 – Feb. 21, 2015 aged 55 and up. Their median debt is $19,000, as compared to $40,000 for workers. The idea is to develop good financial habits during your working life to ensure that you have plenty of savings and few liabilities at retirement. Understanding your liabilities and paying them off There are two types of liabilities: one increases your assets like a mortgage and the other reduces your assets like a credit card. Credit in and of itself isn’t the problem, so long as it’s managed well. To know exactly where you stand make a list of what you owe: • Bank and store credit cards tend to have the highest interest rates, so you should focus on paying these off first • Lines of credit • Car loan • Investment loans • Student loans Once you’ve paid off the one with the highest interest rate, consider trying paying off your mortgage next. You can reduce the amortization period for your mortgage by increasing your payment amounts, payment frequency (e.g. weekly rather than monthly) or by making a prepayment. As an added protection, consider credit insurance and term life insurance. In case of illness, disability or death, these types of insurance will protect your family by covering off your debts and securing your assets.
