Why is degree important?

Did you think how you wasted your time for getting a college degree. Well this post is just to make you think differently. Did you choose the right course?

Eg. Project Manager Vs. Regular Manager (for United States only)

Data source: indeed.com                                                                                                                                                  Data as on 21-Nov-2014

As per the below data we can clearly see that how an extra Qualification be it Bachelor's in Project Management, Master's in Project Management or a PMP certification can give you an extra edge. Lower salary of a less experienced project manager will be more that an average salary of a regular and more experienced manager. Which means if you have a Bachelor's Degree in project management(minimum) you will be earning more than a regular manager. 

Also looking at the trend its clear that companies are getting more inclined towards people with extra edge than that of regular managers.

Keep reading there is more below the chart... :)


Salary of a project manager has increased approximately 19% within last 2 years.

Job Getting Secrets - 100% success rate

Are you

  • Frustrated
  • Tired
  • Irritated

of 

  • Not able to crack Job Interviews
             or
  • Not able to get a Interview call
It means you are doing the same thing that others are doing and searching for blogs to get your answers




I have been working as an HR professional for over 12 years. Did my masters from one of the top B schools. As years passed I see many youngsters started searching for interview tips, questions, techniques, Resume writing techniques, Cover letter techniques from Internet. I also read many Blogs on Job websites. However, I failed to understand none of the articles have changed over the years. I mean do you really think that the guys sitting on the other side of the table does not read these posts.

Anyways I wanted to understand 


 if you got the idea of how to get noticed while applying for a Job?


or





if you managed to clear interviews with the help of the posts that you read on the internet? 



I can safely say that I understand the problems of both sides of the table because being said that I am an HR professional I am also an employee. I am passionate about my profession. I therefore have been helping a lot of my friends in getting through all the interview stages.

I am proud to say that I am an expert in

1) Interviewing skills (100% success rate till date)
2) Resume writing skills (Always work)
3) Job applying skills (This is the most difficult part but is most effective as compared to others)

However, the techniques used for each of these changes.


# Interview skills:                                                  you need help?

There is different level of attitude required for HR round, then technical round and salary negotiation. In many entry level jobs there is only one round where the technique and approach is totally different.


# Resume Writing Skills:                                        you need help?

This also changes as per position applied for. Everyone knows HR does not have enough time to Scan through each resume but there is a very simple trick which makes you stand apart.


# Job applying skills:                                               you need help?


 This is one of the most challenging and most difficult task however I know few techniques which can make you visible in the crowd.

So what is it that I know is different than others.

To explain this let me ask you do you prepare for the questions that you might be asked?

Well there are over 1000+ questions and their suitable answers available all over internet for free. Even if you read those how much do you think you will remember the answers to. Don't you think this factor alone can make you nervous which is visible in your body language. This means that minute the interviewer spots you, you are rejected, just because of your body language and that too after putting in so much of effort in preparing.

What you have been doing for the preparation

1) Creating your resume now all old techniques used since like 20 years.
2) Preparing for interview with all the possible questions being asked - Wrong method and wrong direction
3) Applying for jobs and still not getting response - imaging yourself in HR seat searching for 1000 candidates. How will you even see an application?

What I know is exactly what you need to know to get through an interview and what you don't. If you still haven't tried enough then keep trying and Best of Luck for that.
