Review of "Interviewing tips"

My sister Sandra has a degree in Human Resources Management from Dublin Business School and works as a Human Resources Consultant in Munich. After the recent reading assignment I extracted some statements from the text and asked her to comment. Here is what she wrote:

101 Great Answers to the Toughest Interview Questions

Interviewing was never easy, and right now it is harder than ever. Companies are taking far longer to make hiring decisions, and then only after putting prospective employees through more and longer interviews. But of all the tools in your professional arsenal, your ability to shine in that brief moment in time, your first interview, can make or break your chances for a second time.

 The book is a great book I have read, it groups 101 tough interview questions and recommends

what to answer, what the interviewers are hopping to hear and what is a wrong answer.

.If you would like to read the book, here is a link to an audio book, read by the author Ron Fry

How to Find a Job by Networking..

Hi All,

As we know, Finding a job can be a job itself, but sometimes we are not searching at the right place! The opportunity for a job can come easily from the people around us..

We are using our networking skills for so many areas in our life, and sometimes we forget that it's much easier to get an interview while a friend has just said a "good word" about you, or gave the recruiter you CV personally.. From my experience, I can say that this system works!

Here is a link to an article about networking... Enjoy!

Rule #1 - warren buffet for gardeners

First of all, I'd like to thank Eitan and the team for granting me a present for contributing to class. I'm always happy to get presents, and books are my favorate present. It is a great idea to recognize contribution with a gesture, encouraging the community to take a greater part in the efforts of class and further engage.

The book was very informative both for layman and professional business people, basically saying you have no control over the market but you can learn how to ride the waves of those who do. The book gives you great tools to evaluate businesses, even your own businesses...

Along the process you get exposed to many tools the investment gurus' work with, specifically Warren Buffet, and learn about investment strategies that exist but are not for us (yet)

The translation was poor, and the style is for people with IQ lesser of the average technionic. But with that said, I found value in reading first time concepts in layman terms that event my gardener can understand.

It has been a while since I read such a comprehensive book, covering so many basic business concepts that are important to all of us, regardless if we plan to take part in the stock markets.

Recommended reading for all. Buy Rule #1

...and thanks again for the present :-)
