Step 6:  Prepare To Ace The Interview & Set Up Your Home Office

Prepare For Your Interview
You should use your waiting time to prepare for your interviews. This is another critical step overlooked by many hopeful job seekers -- and time and time again, it costs them a job that may have already been in their hands.  

For example, if you went on an interview and were asked the tough question, "So how much money are you looking for?", would you know how to respond?  Did you know if you would answer with a dollar amount, it could potentially cost you thousands of dollars or even the job?  

Interviewing Secrets Revealed gives you proven tips and techniques to help you respond appropriately to this and 52 other commonly asked job interview questions.  This resource will give you what you need to present yourself professionally, confidently, and in a way that sets you apart from other job candidates. 

This is what one hiring manager had to say about candidates who've used these proven job interview tips:

"I have consistently found that candidates from Gregg come in extremely well prepared for their job interviews. As an individual who has interviewed and hired many professionals..., I have always been more likely to hire an individual who asks intelligent questions during the interview, and is ready to communicate clearly to me what his or her job contribution... will be. Gregg has consistently sent me individuals who meet these interviewing standards, thereby having the highest likelihood of being hired, and receiving the most substantial job offers". - Richard Shapiro, Former Senior Manager, Andersen Consulting

Set Up Your Home Office
Also, while you're waiting, it's a good idea to keep busy.  If you spend your time waiting for the phone to ring, or watching your e-mail box, you may become discouraged if you don't see results as quickly as you'd like.  

On the other hand, spending your time setting up your home office and preparing to work at home, will help you to keep a positive, focused attitude -- an essential element to your work at home success.

To work at home, you'll need to have the following basic equipment and supplies:

  • Desk

  • Comfortable Work Chair

  • Computer Hardware (200+ MHz hard drive w/minimum 16MB RAM, CD-ROM, sound card, speakers, 1+ gigabytes of hard drive space, monitor (minimum 15" preferred), keyboard, microphone)

  • Printer (I have an all-in-one color printer, fax machine, copier, and scanner.  You save considerably over purchasing each piece of equipment separately, and it's a compact unit that fits nicely into any small office space.)

  • Email and Internet Access (DSL or broadband service is preferred -- the faster the connection, the better)

  • Fax Machine

  • Copier

  • Scanner

  • Voicemail (a separate phone line and voicemail for business use is preferred)

  • Pager/Cell Phone

  • Appropriate software

  • Business License (check your State's requirements)

  • Office Supplies (including any other office furniture, i.e. lamps, filing cabinet, etc.)

  • Business Cards (self-employed or business owners)

  • Stationery Package (letterhead/envelopes; self-employed or business owners)

  • Marketing Collateral (flyers/brochures/post cards; self-employed or business owners)
