Preparing for a Sales Job Interview:
The most important step in the process is that the candidate takes the time to do their homework.
BE POSITIVE!!!
Personal homework:
Anticipate and prepare for typical questions that you will be asked such as:
Plan on asking several key questions such as:
During initial interviews it is generally not a good idea to ask about compensation and benefits. You want the company to be sold on you before getting to this point.
Be sure to close at the end of the interview. The best way to do this is to ask: "Do you have any concerns about my qualifications for this position"? This gives you the chance to overcome any potential objections that you can uncover about your candidacy.
Next step is to let the interviewer know that you are very interested in the position and company. Find out what the next steps are and reiterate your strong interest in taking that next step.
Look your best. Even if the company is "business casual", dress professionally as you would for a customer meeting. Wear conservative, but current clothing, shoes, etc. Do not wear overpowering cologne/perfume. Know the location/directions and plan on arriving at least 15 minutes early. Bring a notebook and pen - taking notes definitely shows interest and commitment. Get business cards from each person you meet with. Within 24 hours, send meaningful thank you e-mails that reiterate your interest and why you would be the best person to hire.

Time was you needed to know boolean strings to dig into social networks. That's still helpful, but Google has added new entries to the bottom of their results. The results currently only work in profiles - but if you search a name, at the bottom, the Google profile and results for Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn appear at the bottom.
Curious and curiouser. When blog results started showing in search results, it was a big step, giving you real time results above the newspapers and AP. What will the results of Profile searches be?

Toshiba to bring 194 Mecklenburg jobs
Toshiba America Nuclear Energyis opening a national project-management and engineering center in Charlotte and will create 194 jobs here over the next five years.
The nuclear engineering and construction management jobs will carry an average annual wage of $122,037, excluding benefits. TANE will invest $2.8 million and will receive up to $4.9 million over nine years through a job-development investment grant awarded by the state’s economic-investment committee this morning.
Company and government officials announced the project at a press conference Tuesday morning at the Charlotte Chamber.
TANE is based in Falls Church, Va., and is part of Toshiba America Inc.The company markets and sells advanced boiling nuclear reactors to be constructed in the United States and provides engineering, licensing, construction management, maintenance and other services for nuclear power plants. The company is the prime contractor for the construction of two nuclear reactors planned near Houston.
Fuyuki Saito, chief executive of TANE, says Charlotte’s “cutting-edge nuclear engineering community” was a major draw for the company. The city’s highly educated work force, quality of life and cost of living were also considerations, along with government incentives. In addition to the state grant, the company will receive a local business-investment grant from Mecklenburg County totaling nearly $47,000 over 10 years.
The center is expected to open in August and the company would like to lease space in the Whitehall Corporate Center in southwest Charlotte. Westinghouse Electric Co., a division of Toshiba Corp., recently opened an office there focusing on nuclear plant projects, and the two companies would like to be in close proximity because they will work together, according to Richard DiSalvo, general counsel for TANE.
“That is probably what brought Charlotte to our attention,” DiSalvo says of the Westinghouse office.
The company considered other cities in the Southeast before choosing Charlotte for the expansion.
Charlotte has become a magnet for energy companies lately, with the likes of Areva NP Inc., The Shaw Group Inc., URS Corp. and Sencera Internationalannouncing expansions during the past year. Bob Johnson, dean of UNC Charlotte’s college of engineering, says in the past two weeks Areva has hired 16 students from this year’s graduating class.
“It’s emerged as a national (energy) center,” he says of the Queen City. “It’s just been exploding.”
The majority of the new TANE jobs will go to local hires, DiSalvo says. Employment inquiries should be e-mailed to TANE beginning on Wednesday at tane_nc@tane.toshiba.com.
