5 Things You Need For A Successful Second Interview5 Things You Need For A Successful Second Interview Congratulations Earning a second interview invitation is no small feat. Youve surpassed ample and stiff competition to get this far. So bask in your success for a moment. You deserve that infusion of confidence , and youll need it to propel you through the next round. Before you can nail this meeting, its important to know your purpose. How is this meeting different than your first? Nancy Range Anderson, author , career coach and founder of Blackbird Learning Associates, LLC explains During the first interview, the interviewer asked questions to determine three areas can you do the job, do you fit into the company culture and do you really want this job. Its pretty certain that in the second interview more senior level staff will be conducting the interviews and while they may ask similar or the same questions that were asked in the first interview, the purpo se of this interview is to compare you and your skill set with the other candidates .The second interview presents a chance to have a deeper conversation about the job with some of the key players. Enthusiasm is a core component of emotional intelligence because it fosters connection. If youre excited about this job and this institution, share that. Point out what you observed during your first interview that got your excited. Sharing your genuine enthusiasm enables you to tap into that of your interviewer which can lead to a two-way conversation about professional passions . So think about what appeals to you about this environment and the people youve met so far. Do you sense that they all seem to really love their jobs? Do they seem excited about their work, or about the population they serve? Consider an ice breaker like I met two team members when I was here last week. Both raved about the students here, which made me feel really excited about this prospect. That kind of e nthusiasm cant be faked, and its such a strong endorsement. This can eingabeaufforderung your interviewers to share what they love about their work and their workplace, which can loosen up the conversation and give you valuable insights.A second interview presents an opportunity for you to sell you skillset and to demonstrate how your experience has well-stelleed you for the open position. Anderson points out that at this stage, candidates should detail their accomplishments and focus on the impacts of their professional efforts. Anderson explains The interviewer at this stage wants to know, Whats in it for me/us? and What can this candidate do to help us accomplish our goals that the other candidates cant do?. Think about your current role. Maybe you work for an international organization and youre well versed in the nuances of hosting international guests and colleagues. Maybe your work for a start-up and you know how to work hard and lean. Find your angle. Then demonstrate to your potential colleagues how your unique professional experience makes you particularly well-suited for this role, and a must have for their team.A job description is a managers wish list for his/her ideal candidate. Study this document to drive your prep. Anderson recommends To prepare the candidate needs to focus on the responsibilities, skills and requirements of the open position and come up with specific behavioral stories detailing his or her actions and results. Anderson advises a very direct approach I suggest that the candidate draw a two-column chart. In the left column, list the hard and soft skills , tasks and job responsibilities required of the position and in the right-hand column write out examples of work-related accomplishments that support these. Above all, the candidate should focus on his or her role in these accomplishments and use words such as I rather than We. While you always want to emphasize that you know how to function well on a team, you also wa nt to highlight the individual successes that set you apart. Do your research and know your worth . Anderson advises The candidate should be prepared to discuss salary at any time during the interview process. Anderson explains Salary discussions usually come up towards the end of the interviewing cycle and most likely will be initiated by the interviewer. This can be a positive sign.Anderson points out an interview is a two-way conversation. So dont squander your opportunity to ask questions by posing queries that you think will impress the interviewers. Get the lowdown you need. These are some questions Anderson recommends Remember, getting this invitation is a huge deal. Youre a stellar pro, and you have a lot to be proud of. Good luck

The Differences Between Soft and Hard News

The Differences Between Soft and Hard NewsThe Differences Between Soft and Hard NewsHard nachrichtensendung is a term most often used by journalists and others who work in the media industry, though you may hear others outside the industry use the term. Hard berichterstattung is the kind of fast-paced news that usually appears on the front page of newspapers. Stories that fall under the umbrella of hard news often deal with topics like business, politics and international news. The Two Types of News Stories Hard news and soft news are considered the two major types of news stories available. Up-to-the-minute news and events that require immediate reporting are considered hard while features and news that is considered background information or human-interest are thought of as soft news. Subject matter that is usually considered hard news includesPolitics, war, economics, and crime. On the flip side, the arts, entertainment and lifestyle stories are considered to be soft news in n ature. Soft and Hard News May Overlap What defines hard news isnt always about the subject matter. Some might call a news story hard news because it is heavily reported- even though it is a subject matter considered softer (like entertainment). It is possible to see news features that may be considered both hard and soft, such as a story about the business dealings and private life of a successful media mogul, leaving some to wonder if it is a business or a lifestyle story. Or possibly a story on major style or renovation trends affecting the sale and cost of homes in a booming housing market which again, is a blend of lifestyle and business. The major difference between hard and soft news is the tone in which the story is presented. Hard news usually takes on a factual approach that explains what happened, who the main people involved were and where and when everything happened and why. Soft news stories can be presented in a variety of ways, but they usually try to entertain o r advise the reader in some way. Listicles, like Top 10 Ways to Stretch After a Run to Ease Lactic Acid, are considered soft news, as are more in-depth entertainment features, such as the lives and scandals of famous politicians. Soft Leads It is important to notenzeichen that even though some stories may be considered hard news in style, they may use a soft lead-in to capture the readers interest (and heart). In general, soft news requires a different approach to lead writing and are often called delayed leads because they start telling a story before getting to the main facts. Soft-news lead-ins tend to be narrative or anecdotal in nature, where they tell a story instead of stating important facts. Feature stories (soft stories that are a little longer and more reflective) often use soft lead-ins and use more descriptive and colorful language before probing further. Such stories begin with setting the tone and introducing the reader to the atmosphere surrounding the story, bef ore jumping into the who, what, when, where and whys. The story may then be finished up with a conclusion such as those of more traditional structures of storytelling.

How to manage your allergies at work A survival guide

How to manage your allergies at work A survival guideHow to manage your allergies at work A survival guideAllergies are a blessing and a curse.Haaa, yeah, no theyre just a curse. And unfortunately, I think most of you can relate. Allergies are annoying. If youve ever spontaneously hived out on your face, had to leave a social function early because your throat randomly started closing up, or called in sick to work because you cant stop sneezing and your eyes are so puffy you can barely see you get it.Ive lived with allergies all my life. As my allergist told me a few months ago, Im an allergists poster child - because Ive got it allllll going on. Allergies, asthma, and eczema. BOOM.When youre a little kid, your parents fill out a form for your teacher that says, Hey, my kid is allergic to peanuts, help me keep them alive please and suddenly, youre in a peanut-free environment. I didnt like all the hullabaloo when I welches younger - I would honestly rather hive out in silence than ever affect my fellow classmates - but as an adult, in an office, sometimes I find myself desperately wishing I could tape up signs that say, Peanut-Free Zone.Needless to say, Ive got a lot of advice for how to work (and live) as an allergy person. I enlisted my fellow allergista (cringe - we know) in the office, Aliya, to share tips for how we deal. This is how to survive in the workplace, for all of you with allergies.1. Pay attention to your triggersFrom Jacq - One of the best things you can do is pay attention not only to when youre having an allergic reaction, but to what you were doing before it happened- what caused it? (Because you want to avoid these situations as much as possible in the future.) Sometimes, you cant win - especially in the height of spring, or what I like to call pollen season. If the air youre breathing is whats making you miserable, you just have to do your best. Not much you can control there.But there are other things you can control.We have a share d kitchen in our coworking space, and we often prep our lunches up there. At peak lunch hours, the dishwelchesher is usually full, meaning I have to hand-wash any dishes I have. After (joyfully) cleaning my silverware one day, I walked away from the sink and spontaneously hived out all over my hands and wrists. My best guess is that the sponge had some sort of nut anken or other allergens on it. Can this be avoided? Probably not entirely - but now, I consciously check the sponge before washing my dishes, or I wait until I can put them in the dishwasher.Tracking down the possible triggers of your allergies can be annoying, but if it saves you even one allergic reaction in the future, I think its well worth it.2. Dont suffer in silenceFrom Aliya - On my first day at Career Contessa, my boss was kind enough to organize a welcome pizza lunch. Which is great if you have the ability to consume gluten, tomato, and dairy. I, unfortunately, do not possess that ability.At the risk of soundi ng like an eye-roll inducing fad dieter (being in LA didnt help), I decided the best thing to do was to let everyone know that despite how much I wanted to participate in this pizza party, I could consume 0 pizza. I expressed how thankful I was and mentally-prepped myself to answer obligatory What will happen to you if you eat that? questions. Instead, I learned that several of our team members have a multitude of their own dietary constrictions. Turns out, I wasnt the only weird oneThis may seem like a very trivial example, but the moral of the story is you are not alone and you dont have to suffer in silence.You certainly dont need to overshare either, but youd be surprised at how many people have similar problems. Honest communication is key, especially when you have a bad allergy attack. Communicate with your boss if you need to work from home or have to leave early to go to your doctor appointment. Prioritize your health and well-being, because jobs are interchangeable- you are not.3. Water is your BFFFrom Jacq - Water is truly the key to life. Feeling a headache coming on? Drink water. Throat starting to itch? Chug water. Is your skin becoming inflamed and turning a bright, burning shade of red? Rinse it off ASAP with - you guessed it - waterSeriously, though - water is a natural antihistamine. When youre not drinking enough, youre dehydrated (duh), which actually produces histamines in the body - cueing an allergy response. Water also decreases the amount of mucus produced in your body. If you stay hydrated, you just might be able to actually breathe through your nose properly. What a dreamPro Tip (From Aliya) Get a reusable straw for your (reusable) water cup. Not only is it better for the environment, it makes drinking mora fun, which means mora water intake and a healthier you4. Go see a doctorFrom Aliya - We probably (definitely) should have mentioned this first, but a key aspect of managing your allergies is to have an understanding of what you re actually allergic to. Allergies are ridiculously frustrating. Sometimes you may have to go to several doctors to figure out what youre allergic to, only to find out that what youre allergic to is, essentially, the air you breathe.Over the years, Ive seen several dermatologists and allergists. Many times, I was told that my eczema was just something youre going to have to live with for the rest of your life. Most recently, Ive turned to acupuncture and eastern medicine. My new doctor may poke needles in me as I lay in a dark room, softly listening to Korean ballads, but this is the first time Ive seen results.The point is, find what (or who) works for you. You dont have to suffer perpetually without a solution.5. Have your allergy pack handyYou never really know when allergies are going to strike. So its best to be prepared. Maybe even over-prepared. While traveling to an event together, Aliya and I discovered that we both carry allergy packs with us to make sure that were ready t o respond if we start feeling funky.Wed like to note that we arent trying to promote taking medicine, or certain brands of products in particular. Were simply sharing what we do, in hopes that it may help someone out there who needs some recommendations. Were not sponsored, and were not being paid to mention any of these brands. Just offering advice from one allergy sufferer (or two) to another.Just choose a cute little bag, and put all of your allergy-attack essentials in there. Carry whatever helps you feel better when you start having symptoms. Heres what we include in our packs.Aliyas Allergy Pack EssentialsZyrtec Helps keep the itching down and doesnt make you drowsy.Vaseline Cute lil mini vaseline to keep your lips moisturized.Moisturizer I keep a travel size amount of Eucerin moisturizer on me at all times. Its great for sensitive skin because it doesnt have any fragrances. When my skin is feeling extra inflamed, I add a few drops of tea tree oil to give it an extra minty/coo ling effect.Eye drops My optometrist recommended Opcon so Ive been using that and its done the trick.Jacqs Allergy Pack EssentialsBenadryl/Claritin/Zyrtec Aliya obviously has a trusted brand, but I like to have different medicines ready to go- depending on what my symptoms are. Zyrtec is for the stereotypical itchy eyes, runny nose situation. Benadryl works best when my skin is freaking out. And Claritin is if Im feeling the cloudy-head overall allergies-are-killing-me-today day.Hair ties When Im having an allergy day, Im already slightly annoyed. And hair in my face- where Im already feeling puffy and sensitive- is an absolute no.Eye Drops My allergist recommended Zaditor to me, and Ive found it really helps relieve the itchiness. It doesnt help with the redness, so I usually carry redness reliever eye drops too.Inhaler Just in case my lungs start to get wheezy.Epi Pen Just in case I eat peanuts and start going into anaphylaxis.6. Pack your sunniesFrom Aliya - Not only will sunglas ses make you look cool and aloof, they are also great at covering up the fact that your eyes looked like they were stung by two bees. Wearing sunglasses is also a great way to protect your eyes from allergens, wind, and sun, all of which can worsen your condition. Did I mention they look cool as all heck?7. Bring your own snacksFrom Jacq - No one likes feeling left out. I learned early on (think growing up with three siblings who could eat whatever they wanted, and didnt really care if you couldnt eat it too) that it doesnt matter what everyone else is eating if you have your own treats to look forward to. I carry chocolate with me pretty much all the time. I also pack my lunches most days, and bring foods I know I like to eat. That way, when the office has a Bagel Thursday and Im stuck eating my oatmeal, I feel better when I think of the delicious food I get to eat later.I also recommend bringing in your snacks to share with the office- which I understand is easier when you have a five-person team. But if you can get everyone else to enjoy the food you can eat, its easier to find group snacks and treats, when the time comes. Remember that chocolate I mentioned? I shared with the office one day, and everyone fell in love with it- its sitting in our fridge because were all obsessed. Now, when everyone else feels like indulging, I can too.Pro Tip (From Aliya) Peeping in here to say that I second this advice. A particular brand of Aliya-friendly plantain chips have garnered a lot of love in our office since I first introduced them back in early 2018.8. Find an allergy allyFrom Jacq - Odds are, youre not the only one in the office thats suffering. Other people in your office space will likely have diet restrictions, pollen intolerances, or skin issues of their own. Because youre open and honest about your own experiences (see tip number two), youll be a safe place for your coworkers to talk about their own. Heck, I know more about my own allergies just from talkin g with Aliya about hers.This article first appeared on Career Contessa.
