1. Failure to research the company: An interviewer will expect candidates to spend time researching and reading about their company. Do your homework before the interview; really know what the company does and who their competitors are. If you have not taken the time to review the employer website and understand what they are recruiting for, then you are reducing your chances of continuing successfully through the interview process.
2. Not clear on what you're interviewing for: Be familiar with the job description so you can draw on your experiences, talents, strengths and abilities to connect with company needs. Highlight how you're suited to that particular job.
3. Not marketing yourself correctly: Define yourself. What makes you different from others? Know your major strengths and accomplishments as they relate to the job you are applying for and the company.
4. Not asking meaningful questions: Have at least 3-4 intelligent questions to ask the recruiter. It's OK (it actually leaves a positive impression with the recruiter) to have them written down in advance and to reference them at the appropriate time. Interviews are an exchange of information, and not coming in with questions shows that you did not prepare for the whole interview.
5. Under-dressing for the interview: Professional attire and attention to detail still count. You can never be too professional. Remember that everything - your appearance, your tone of voice, your conduct -contributes to the impression (positive or negative) that you make. Be presentable - wear a pressed suit and shirt and polished shoes.
Nowadays we can work on the internet and earn some good money. There are many different types of online jobs available on the internet. Few companies offer jobs that people can do via internet but the jobs that I want to mention here are purely online. Freelancing sites offers a wide range of jobs that people can do while sitting at home. Yes that's true, everyone can earn via doing online jobs at freelancing sites while sitting at their own home. All you need is a computer and an internet connection and that's it, with these two things, you can earn as much as you want to at freelancing sites.
What are freelancing sites?
Freelancing sites is a market place where buyers pay to get their work done and service providers earn by doing work that buyers post. Freelancing sites simply provide a connection between people seeking online jobs and people who need some kind of work done.
How freelancing sites operates?
For Buyers: buyers just have to sign up, which only takes few minutes and then they can post projects. In projects, buyers provide detail information about the work that they need to be done. Some freelancing sites charge few dollars as a refundable fee for all projects which buyers open. Also, there is an option to make their project as a featured project. Featured projects are different then ordinary opened projects in many ways and that's why it is not free and thus it cost some where around $20 to $30 to open a featured project. Featured projects stays at the freelancing site's front page for longer time then ordinary projects. For such projects, both the buyer and the service provider can communicate via email, phone, messenger etc even before the project is awarded. There are no freelancing site's commissions on featured projects.
In project description, buyer has to carefully describe all his requirements. Also, choosing the right category for the project is very important factor. After creating the project, some freelancing sites at once publish it or some publish it after reviewing it. Freelancing sites review projects to make sure that no fake or site's terms violating projects do not get posted. This project review has few advantages and some disadvantages too. Sites that review projects have clean or fake free online jobs list. Service providers don't have to worry about any SCAM project posted at these sites. But on other hand, buyers on many occasions need work done very quickly. Some times in an hour or so where this project review can take up to a day or two. So in such case, buyers can't use such freelancing sites.
After the project is online, service providers seeking online jobs from all around the world can view it and if anyone thinks that he or she can do it, they place a bid on that project. On the other hand, buyers begin to receive bid from many different service providers. Almost all freelancing sites have the option for the service providers to send a private message to the buyer. Service providers can send detail description about how they will do the project etc in private messages.
