For all my myLot friends - I would like to share some advice that some of my friends on myLot told me about. I thought I'd share it with you, since it can really multiply your earnings on myLot. I have been informed that, when you post/reply to discussions, if you write at least six lines, you will be paid a higher amount for that, than if you were to just write one or two lines. If you can keep your sentences short, then six lines is not a lot ! So friends, try to keep this advice in mind for your future discussions and the money start to add up quicker than it was before.

Things to do before job interview

    Going in without any preparation will be a major disadvantage for you. So, after a lot of hard work you have gotten the perfect resume, researched the company, prepared a list of questions to ask and now it's time to get ready for that all-important interview. Here is something to keep in mind before you show up at the interviewer's door.

    An interview is a performance with people playing different roles and you will be judged according to the look you present to others. First impressions matter, especially when it comes to something really important like a job interview. Do dress the part for the job, the company, the industry. And do err on the side of conservatism. Whether you're female or male, the conservative business suit is the recommended attire for any interview. Since you have a very short time to make a good impression, make sure that the suit which you will be wearing is wrinkle free, has a fresh look and your clothes are properly ironed. Get a proper shave and a hair cut before the interview by paying a visit to the local hair stylist. Proper grooming will do wonders to your look. Check your shoes and polish them if needed. Have you checked you nails? Do they need trimming? Never, under any circumstances chew gum during the interview or sit down before being asked to. Maintain proper eye contact and shake hands firmly. And finally, remember to put on a little perfume or cologne. Remember to brush your teeth, use proper amount of mouthwash, and have a breath mint right before the interview. Bad breath is a big turn off.

    This way, you can increase the chances of success by presenting a professional, prepared, and confident you to the interviewer. These days, looks matter as much as good education and job experience. When they see a well groomed and confident person entering the room, they will be more likely to give favourable marks to him/her. This way you can turn any interview into a job offer. First impressions count, so make the most of it. Go in well prepared and I am sure that you will succeed.

    Things to do before job presentation


    Going in without any preparation will be a major disadvantage for you. You have got the perfect resume, now it's time to get ready for that all-important interview. Here are a few steps you should take before you show up at the interviewer's door.

    Review your resume:

    Is it up to date? Does it show the correct skills that fit the job you are applying for? It should be concise and the important points highlighted so that they catch the interviewers attention.

    Research the company

    Visit the company web site and start taking notes. Get information on Corporate officers, the latest press releases, the company's annual report. Gather as much information as you can on your soon-to-be-employer. Know what they do, and develop some idea as to how the position you are hiring for fits within the company. And do prepare and practice for the interview, but don't memorize or over-rehearse your answers.

    Prepare your list of questions

    Take another look at the job posting and the research you have done about the company and think of 3-5 questions you can ask during the interview. Ask questions that show you understand the job and the company's needs. Be quick to pick up on the interviewer's comments and ask relevant questions.

    Right look

    An interview is a performance with people playing different roles and you will be judged according to the look you present to others. First impressions matter, especially when it comes to something really important like a job interview. Do dress the part for the job, the company, the industry. And do err on the side of conservatism. Whether you're female or male, the conservative business suit is the recommended attire for any interview. Since you have a very short time to make a good impression, make sure that the suit which you will be wearing is wrinkle free, has a fresh look and your clothes are properly ironed. Get a proper shave and a hair cut before the interview by paying a visit to the local hair stylist. Proper grooming will do wonders to your look. Check your shoes and polish them if needed. Have you checked you nails? Do they need trimming? And finally, remember to put on a little perfume or cologne. Remember to brush your teeth, use proper amount of mouthwash, and have a breath mint right before the interview.

    Sleep early

    It is the night before the interview and everything is set. It is important that you get a good night sleep so that you go in for the interview relaxed, wide awake, alert and fully prepared to answer any question confidently. So set the alarm and sleep comfortably in the knowledge that you are as prepared as you will ever be.

    Interview day

    Make sure ahead of time that you have the company's present address and the correct directions. Always remember to make your transportation arrangements ahead of time. Finally, remember to arrive at least 10 minutes early. Late arrival for a job interview is never excusable. If you are running late, do call the company and let them know in advance.

    Final pre-interview tips

    When you enter the office lobby, remember to greet the receptionist or assistant with courtesy and respect. This is where you make your first impression. Always remember to greet the interviewer(s) by their proper title (Ms., Mr., Dr.) and last name if you are sure of the pronunciation. If unsure of the proper pronunciation, ask the receptionist about the correct pronunciation before going into the interview room. Never, under any circumstances chew gum during the interview or sit down before being asked to. Maintain proper eye contact and shake hands firmly. Try to show enthusiasm in the position and the company so that they get a positive vibes from you. Finally, close the interview by telling the interviewer(s) that you want the job and asking about the next step in the process. This way, you can increase the chances of success by presenting a professional, prepared, and confident you to the interviewer. That's how you turn an interview into a job offer. Best of luck.
