There is an overwhelming amount of info out there and people are swamped. However, short pointers may be absorbed better. Each week, once or twice weekly, I will zero in on a specific area of job search, so my tips will encompass everything. A comprehensive offering will include one aspect of categories including cover letters, resumes, interviewing; effective networking and other issues that arise (references, thank you letters, Internet applications, and anything else pertinent).
Good luck job hunters!

  1. IF YOU WERE A TREE, WOULD YOU BE A CHERRY OR AN OAK?

    This is a question, albeit a silly one, that sometimes comes up in interviews or written psychological testing with strangers—or strange human resource reps. Another one is, “If you were an animal, would you be a fish or a dog?” They may be testing your critical thinking ability or your creativity or temperament. Probing like this is not all that common but not unheard of, either. Interpreting it is loaded with more questions, mainly, what are they looking for? It’s enough to send you into a tailspin. Don’t let it. There is no right answer. All you can do is answer honestly according to your work ethic, values and personality, hoping that the corporate culture is compatible. If that one thing knocks you out of the ballpark, regrettably, that company might not be the one for you. Or the question might not be that weighty in the first place. Perhaps it is asked by incompetent HR reps who don’t know how to interview and what else to ask, thus compelled to fill dead air with nonsense.
