Telecommuting Phone Interview Tips

December 12th, 2009

Whenever you apply for a job; if a hiring manager is impressed with your resume or application, then you can expect an interview to take place. In an onsite job, the interview will be done in a face to face manner. While some local jobs will require you to come in for a face to face interview; most telecommuting companies choose to perform the interview over the phone. A phone interview doesn’t offer you the chance to present yourself as a professional in the same way as a face to face one does.

Getting dressed up for the interview helps you more than it does them. Same with smiling. Set aside plenty of time for the interview- Most interviews can last around 30 minutes. Offer brief, but informative answers- Avoid giving short yes/no answers. Most employers who do these kinds of interviews look for things like confidence and ability to answer questions and take directions.

December 8th, 2009

There are many carpentry schools all across the country so you don’t have to move out of town or state. You should first check if this is being offered in the nearby community, technical or vocational college. It should have subjects such as math, estimation of costs of jobs, times and materials, use of equipment and tools as well as various techniques in carpentry.

Another thing you have to consider when you select a carpentry school is which career in carpentry you are striving for. Is it to pursue a residential or commercial career in carpentry? Can you afford to study in this school?

You don’t get a bachelor’s degree in carpentry when you finish a program given by the community, technical or vocational college. If you want to work right away, find employment as an apprentice. If you want to be your own, then start your own carpentry contractor business.

You have a lot of options and going to school is the first step when you decide to pursue a carpentry career.
