In a quest to save money, time and travel costs some firms and employment service agencies are now adopting “Telephone Job Screening Interviews” as a more and more standard and accepted job employment screening technique. If you expect to be interviewed by phone, prepare by getting a member of your “network” to “role-play” the interviewer. Practice delivering your answers and answering typical run of the mill standard interviewing questions. After all there are very little variations in interview questions and interviewing style in these workups. It is if all these interview “technicians” all read the same book and attended the same school.

A client e-mailed me yesterday about her student loan debts that netted her three college degrees and a job without a commensurate income and future.

She has a Bachelor of Arts Degree from New York University, a second Bachelor of Arts Degree from the London Institute and a Master of Arts Degree from the University of London.

“If education is not a great factor in making the ‘big bucks’ why do people stress that,” she asked, “especially a lot of companies that only want to hire college educated employees? I so regret the major amounts of money I am in debt for because of higher education, and the three degrees I have have not gotten me any further than anyone else. I guess life isn’t fair.”
