After the Interview

After the job interview review the questions in your head asked by the interviewer and how you responsed to them. Did any questions stump you? What could you have answered better? Ask yourself these questions after the interview, this will help you in future interviews.

You should also send a thank you letter to the interviewer within twenty-four hours. Most employers will tell you when you can expect to hear from them. If you do not hear by that date, you should give them a call. If they requests additional things from you such as an application, or references, send them as soon as you can.

Telecommute Jobs

One question I get all the time is "how did you find your telecommute job." And my answer is simple, I got lucky. Believe it or not, that is the truth. I subscribe to the Craigslist job feed. This sends me jobs that I'm interested in, every day. I still scour through it. Lots of great stuff.

You can also check the usual major job boards, such as Simply Hired, Career Builder and Monster. They all have ways to filter or search for Telecommunte jobs. I've provided a great list of resources below for finding a telecommute position:

As usual, be careful. There are lots of scams out there. Do your homework on the position before you accept anything...and before you quit your current job.

If you know of any other telecommute resources, please post them in the comments. Also, if you've had any telecommuting experiences, good or bad, please share them with us.

Good luck on your telecommute job search.

Mock Interview

I recommend that you have a mock interview. A mock interview is a practice interview that you do at home. A dry run so to speak, preparing you for the real thing.

The first step is to go online to sites such as this one that have sample job interview questions. Using Word or Excel, copy and paste these questions into a list. Compile a list of around 30 of the most common questions. Make it more if you want to have more variety. Read more »


Create a Blog

Another great thing to use for job searching is a blog. There are several free places to get blogs, plus there is always WordPress and Drupal. The idea is you can blog about yourself, your skills, previous employment, your hobbies, your home life, everything.

The more an employer can find out about you the better. Provide a link to your blog on your resume and cover letter. Use your blog as a marketing tool for yourself. Don't forget to post your resume online as well and make sure to have your contact information in an easy to find spot.
