1. "Need to remain working with a business for an acceptable period of time"

Employing someone can be quite a costly process and so businesses want to make sure that they find someone that is going to stick around whilst making a beneficial contribution towards the success of the business.
To understand whether they’ve found the right person, you may be asked a question such as “where do you see yourself being in the future?” or whether you have a “3 year plan”.
Make sure you give some consideration to this before your interview, to ensure you can show that you have set goals in your life and are a stable and reliable candidate.

2. "Turn up to shifts"

An employer wants to know that if they hire someone, they can be relied on to turn up to work and carry out their tasks without constant supervision. This reliability is increasingly important as flexible working becomes more popular within the workplace.
Give examples of times where you have been relied on, for example, did you have a part-time job during college at weekends, or did you dedicate your evenings to volunteering? Turning up on timerequires organisation so give examples of when you were organised, but also find ways to actually show your skills during your interview.
A good place to start is to do your research, turn up on time and bring along a printed CV along with any other relevant materials.

3. "Be punctual"

Turn up to your interview on time, or preferably 5 or 10 minutes early to show that you take punctuality seriously. Plan your route in advance and allow extra time for traffic or public transport delays.
This will not only help you to create a good first impression, but the interviewer will also be filled with confidence that you will be able to turn up to work on time if you get offered the job.

4. "Show respect to colleagues and customers"

An employer wants to make sure that whoever they employ will be able to get on with the rest of the team as well as customers. Make sure you are polite and friendly throughout the application process, not just to the interviewer, but right from the second you step foot inside the company.

-
By:   Deborah Brown Have you given up on your dreams? Would you like to get them back? Many of us give up on our dreams. Often our dreams slip away without our even realizing it. Our dreams are who we are. They give us an incentive to get out of bed everyday. They are the reason we were born, and our destiny to fulfill while we are here. They are within your grasp. And yes, they can come true. It's up to you to decide if they will. What can you do if you've given up on your dreams? Follow these easy steps: Remember you are worth it.

Once you know how important living your dreams is to your health and mental well being, then yo...

4 Ways to Stop Sabotaging Your Success

1. Break the multitasking habit. I have to confess that I’m a work-in-progress when it comes to realizing that multitasking is not my friend. I knew I had a serious problem when one day I looked up and realized that I had a notebook, laptop, and iPhone all in front of me, and I was trying to do something different on each of them. Needless to say, I wasn’t very productive and ended up with a bunch of partially finished things—not one thing actually completed. No matter how skilled you think you are at dividing your attention, you really are more effective when you focus. Don’t jump ahead or try to do it all at once in an effort to save time. You’ll feel more accomplished, building the momentum you need to go onto the next task if you complete just one task at a time. 2. Catch some real ZZZs. Forget what you heard about sleep-deprived super-successful people. Getting no sleep and working through the night is overrated—the all-nighter, “I-only-need-four-hours-of-sleep” bit ...

Success Secrets – The Importance of Having a Vision

-
Image
A vision is a picture or idea you have in your mind of yourself, your business, or anything this is going to happen. A clear vision helps you pursue dreams and achieve goals; an idea of the future, a strong wish. A vision that is clear will open your mind to the endless possibilities of the future. A vision will help you to overcome obstacles in the way and helps you hold on when times are tough. A vision that is well defined helps you to focus and create a purpose that becomes your measurement for your success.  If you do not have a vision of who you want to be, how you want to succeed or what you want out of life, you begin to lack drive and your life becomes just an order of events. A strong and current vision connects with your passions and greatest potentials. Regardless of what is going on in the world or challenges that present themselves, a vision helps you know what and why you are doing the things you are doing. Having a vision is most important in the ...
