November Job Seeker E-News: Second Interview Techniques

	NOVEMBER 2013 EDITION
	Article: Effective Ways to Maintain Work/Life Balance Article Written By: Marc Belaiche, CPA, CA & Joseph Thomas The 2012 National Study on Balancing Work and Caregiving in Canada, a survey of over 25,000 employees from public, private and not-for-profit organizations, found that nearly two-thirds of Canadians work more than 45 hours a week. The study also found that the level of life satisfaction among working Canadians is a mere 23 percent. These figures indicate that employees could find more efficient ways to handle their work and hopefully make a more positive impact on their personal lives. This article aims to look at several easy ways to try and maintain a better work/life balance. Get serious about prioritizing Employees sometimes get so caught up in day-to-day tasks that they often overlook something as simple as prioritizing their work. Taking a little time to examine, quantify and prioritize one’s workload for the day or week ahead is critical.   READ MORE TORONTOJOBS.CA • My Account • Employment Agencies • Newsletter Archives • Search Jobs • Career Resource Centre • Job Seeker FAQ • Salary Wizard CONNECT WITH US

Also, they might help the employer to decide between the top candidates. The basics Firstly, your regular interview skills (researching the company, showing up on time, etc.) are still important in the second interview. But there are other challenges you need to be prepared for and the follow-up interview might be a good place to figure out not only how to fit into the company but also how the company can fit into your life.

Employers added 13,200 jobs last month, similar to the pace of much of this year, as public-sector hiring offset losses at private companies.
