On The Job

FEBRUARY 5, 2009

The guy at the cocktail party or the woman you meet at your son's pre-school may be just the key person you need to know to get an interview or promising lead on a job. Instead of visiting gossip sites and playing games online all day, figure out what skills you'd like to improve. Seize the day. Send yourself to "me" school.

And don’t ask for gossip or stories. You can find the images online at Getty Images, Wire Image, IMDB, and any Hollywood site that covers events and gossip such as Perez Hilton. TV crews and journalists will pester you and try to make you promise an interview. Don’t gossip. Look for it the next day. It’s crowded.

I passed the HR interview and I am waiting for the answer from the CEO interview. I had 2 initial interviews or tests before I came down to meeting the CEO. It’s best not to gossip or form secret alliances. And anyone can email me questions and I respond only via this blog, not to your personal address.

My question however, is… should I disclose the reason for my termination in my job interviews? I’m sure you’ve realized while it’s common to have a lot of office politics, it is not fun to work in a gossip-filled environment. 5) Practice interviewing and answering any questions related to your last job and the departure.

You can ask in the interview in a nice way. While you won't ever know until it's too late, try to find the boss that can already say they promoted their last couple of assistants after 2 years WHILE you are interviewing for the job. This is something you should think about while interviewing for jobs.

LOL I don’t divulge because I don’t have any and it’s not good to gossip. Be prepared that sometimes the job description you’re given when you interview is vastly differently once you’re in the job. Whenever I tell people what I do for a living, someone asks if I’ve see the above titles. And then ‘war stories’ come out sometimes.

I am writing at another site while blogging here as well. It also means going on job interviews or meeting with any agency that calls you because they will often keep you in their database when the right job does come up. Be the bigger person and don't gossip! I welcome questions at both places. Hope these answers help you.

I recently interviewed an employment law expert, who pointed out there are a lot of myths that employees believe, including the one that they can say what they want at work. And networking and social chit chat is always great- just keep it to a min and don't become the office gossip queen! October 28, 2009 1:10 PM Anita said.
