I was talking with a client a while back and we were discussing her lack of follow through with her marketing efforts. I started to see a reoccurring theme with our discussions. She would start on a new marketing project, get it going and start to see some business from it. Then she would stop following up with it and move on to next Big Idea. This was happening over and over again.

I finally asked her why she kept starting and stopping her marketing efforts. She replied “I don’t know”. I looked straight at her and asked, do you have a Fear of Failure or Success? Fear of Failure or Success! Which one is it?

If you look at her track record it is clear that she does not have a Fear of Failure but a Fear of Success. Why do I say that? Because she comes up with a great marketing idea, acts on it, gets some positive results and moves on.

If you find yourself doing the same thing, ask yourself the question. Do I have a Fear of Failure or do I have a Fear of Success? Now here is the real trick, you have to give yourself an answer.

Do I have a Fear of Failure or Do I have a Fear of Success?

Dear Sequencing Moms,

I continually watch your searches on WordPress and you are searching for Resume and Cover Letter information. What I would like to know is. What are your specific questions regarding Resume and Cover Letters? Leave a comment for me on what you want answered and I’ll address it in my next Blog. Examples would be: Explaining your time away from the workplace, Regaining your confidence for the interview, Communicating your skills and abilities, Answering the tough questions regarding your responsibilities to the family while trying to maintain your job.

Be specific as you want.

When I have written my articles or blogs in the past I usually try to keep them somewhat general to answer the basic information.

If I can give a more specific answer to your question, it could possibly be of interest to another Sequencing Mom.

If you would like to speak with me in person and get personal feedback call me or you may email your question. What ever way you feel comfortable.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best of luck in your job search,

Terry

Interview Preparation (Re-entering The Workplace)

By Terry Harris

One of the most important factors to interviewing is being prepared. I can not stress enough how important this simple but commonly overlooked part of the interview is. Just taking a little time before your scheduled interview to practice answering interview questions will not only help you with having an arsenal of prepared answers to the interview questions but it will also give you a sense of confidence during the interview.

If you don’t have the resources to work with a professional interview coach, find a friend, or relative. Give them a list of questions that are usually asked in an interview and have them act like the interviewer. If you can, I would recommend recording your answers so you can play them back after the practice interview is over.

Listen to the way you answered the questions and critique yourself.

Did your answers make sense? 

         Did your answers stay on point or did you have a tendency to ramble on?

Did you answer the questions with ease?Did you cover everything you wanted to get across to the interviewer?Did you come across as having confidence in your abilities?

Did you sell yourself the way you wanted?

Did you solve their problem? (remember you are the solution)

Did you keep the interviewer engaged?

Did you ask the appropriate questions at the end of your practice interview?

If you were not comfortable with the way you answered the practice interviewers questions, then keep practicing until you feel good about the way you handled yourself.

By recording your practice interview you will be able to hear how you are coming across to the interviewer. If you are not confident in the way you answered the questions neither will your interviewer. It is all about perception. How did the interviewer perceive you?

If you want to instill a sense of confidence with your interviewer, you need to be confident in yourself during the interview.

So Practice, Practice, Practice!
