"Señorita J O B"

Her name is..."JOB"...and she's to be pursued.

An important step in every professional man's life is the interview for that much-anticipated job position. Men prepare for this moment their whole lives, yet many things still go wrong. Here are some key interview tips to remember in order to have a successful interview.

Preparation
Of all the interview tips you will learn about, this is probably the most important part of the whole process, because with good preparation, everything should go as planned. Before getting to the interview, conduct some research so that you know some basic information about the company , like its mission statement and its position in the industry. This will allow you to intelligently answer questions that might suddenly be thrown your way during the interview session.This research should also include specific job-related issues and requirements. Applicants don't want to be faced with a tricky question often asked by interviewers, catching the applicant off guard. A good technique is to look at yourself in the mirror, go through the procedure of an interview and address your flaws. Portraying confidence and assertiveness are surely the most important parts of an interview. The interviewer wants to see that the applicant is sure of himself, and that his high confidence is a reflection of his abilities.

Looks do matter
Using the same concept as when preparing a resume, your appearance will play a key role in presenting a good image of yourself. We wouldn't expect an employer to be wearing running shoes and jeans, so why should we? Dress appropriately for the position. Office and administrative jobs require, without a doubt, a suit and tie. Be wary of overdressing for the interview, but remember, it's better to be overdressed than underdressed.

Introduction and body language
There are three main things to do when entering the interview room and first meeting a human resources person:
Present yourself by clearly stating your name.
Make direct eye contact with the interviewer.
Give a firm handshake. A trick to avoid getting sweaty palms is to carry a tissue in your pocket to dry your hand right before the handshake.Before moving on, there are implicit signs interviewers are trained to look out for during an interview session. Interviewers are usually trained observers of the slightest details, which can say more than what is actually said by the applicant.
Constantly moving hands will usually represent nervousness. Keep them on the table, or on your knees.
Sit up straight and don`t slouch. Sitting up portrays confidence and savoir faire .
Unintentional nervous ticks are clearly noticeable by interviewers, but might not be to the applicant. Be careful not to tap the table, touch your face constantly or stutter when answering questions.

Typical questions
Every job interview contains a series of questions tailored for that specific applicant, however, many of them actually include a set of generic questions that might be posed by the interviewer. Here is a list to give you an idea of the types of questions that might be put forth in conversation during an interview. The key is to answer the questions sincerely, while using a rich vocabulary.
:What experience do you have for the position?
:Why should we hire you?
:Where do you see yourself in five years from now?
:Name one of your weaknesses.
:Why do you want to work for our company?
:What can you bring to our company?
Take the appropriate time to answer each one of the questions. An important aspect is never to assume that you have gotten the position, because employers can pick up on this. This could very well play against your odds during the hiring stage. Follow through the entire interview until the very end.

Preparation is key
There are different levels of interviews, from the preliminary one to the final selection. Each stage will offer different levels of difficulty and require different preparation, but with this basic bag of knowledge, you are ready to face any interviewer. Two important interview tips to remember are to answer honestly and not to act arrogant. Now go get 'em.

Iconic?

Mi hermano, "Big Willie."

Why He's A Style Icon
Although most well known as an actor and rapper as well as a film, television and music producer, Will Smith could easily add style guru to his impressive resume. Whether he’s at a film premiere or just out and about with his family, the man always manages to look incredible. Indeed, it may be because his style is so effortless that he is one of Hollywood’s most stylish men. That, plus the fact that he seems to have understood the most fundamental style rule: Create a style that defines you. Even in his younger days as the Fresh Prince, Will Smith followed this principle, positioning himself as a funky, laid-back guy by donning a baseball cap sideways and mismatching graphic print shirts with multicolored neon shorts and jackets worn inside out.

Once he grew up and moved away from these wacky stylings, the multitalented star adopted a more sophisticated and classy approach to dressing.As the world’s biggest movie star, he plays the part, frequently suiting up for his premieres in sleek dark suits that show off his toned, lean body as well as adding a key piece or two of high-end jewelry. What keeps the star’s red-carpet look from getting boring, however, is that he’s not afraid to wear patterns and color.

In his downtime, you’ll catch Will Smith sporting sunglasses, a variety of hats, leather jackets, fitted V-neck shirts and sweaters, and one of his favorite combinations -- jeans with a funky jacket or blazer.

Dressing The Smith Way
When he’s not wearing a designer suit to the opening of his latest blockbuster, you’ll often catch Will Smith pairing jeans with a light-colored blazer or jacket in hues ranging from white to tan to silvery gray. You, too, can up your style quotient just like this fashion icon simply by throwing a blazer or fitted jacket over the more casual pieces in your closet.This slick Marc by Marc Jacobs blazer will help you emulate Will Smith’s elegant but relaxed look and will become your go-to piece when you need to be impeccable in seconds flat. Made from cotton sateen, this two-button piece has a side-vented back, two flap-besom pockets, a chest pocket, an interior pocket and four decorative buttons on each cuff. Its cut is classic with a modern fit, so try pairing it with anything you would usually wear with your standard black blazer as it will blend in well with your current wardrobe. Don’t stop there, though. Remember that Will Smith never shies away from wearing unexpected colors or patterns, and this opal-colored blazer that is not quite white and not quite gray provides a fantastic backdrop on which to experiment.So, have some fun like this style icon and try an unusual tie or a pastel shirt. If pale shades are just not your thing, take another styling tip from Will Smith and try teaming a boldly striped blue dress shirt with your blazer and jeans for a cutting-edge look.
