Career tools, Interviewing.

I chose two articles, "Phone interviews: tips to get called back", "The second interview".
Both articles are very helpful to me.
I chose Phone interview tips as the first article. Because as a person who spoke English as an second language, talks on the phone is hard to get through than anyone else. even at interview in person, there are still have language barrier and culture difference but with phone without body language would be hardest one to do it. that is why it was very helpful. the given tips are find a happy place, speak easy, sounds of silence, and practice makes perfect. it is very important that find happy place because talk on the phone interview, already gives me a pressure. thus find a good place makes myself a little bit of clamming down. An other helpful tip was "Speak easy". I learned if I would like to be confidence, then stand up and my voice sound more powerful. with I got through this page of phone interview tips, I feel like I am ready to have phone interview!

As second article, I selected "The Second Interview". As we know when you get a second interview, it does not neccesary mean to you get that job. Every country has their own way to interview, even in a country, there are different way to hire people in each company. About the second interview means same like that. General tips of interview, which are neat outfit, do not late, bring a copy of your resume, etc. but about the second interview? I have not heard that! It was really great tips for me. the second interview is not only represent yourself as marketable person as well as how much you could fits with the company. the article shows very specifically the situations you could get on the second interview. It was good to learn those tips then I could apply any business meeting as well.
