Interview Success - the Importance of Mental Preparation
Ask any employer the biggest mistake candidates can make and you often get the same answer - not being fully prepared for the interview. Successful candidates use every conceivable means possible to prepare for the interview and to allow themselves ample time to prepare. They understand that interviewing is a skill and that preparation and practice will enhance their chances

their customer service. If you improve your service system just a little each week, those small improvements can make a big difference over time. And if you work on your service in a cross-functional team or over a weekend retreat, imagine how much everyone (customers and service providers) will gain.

Plan for a Hot Career
In the old days, workers were likely to stay with one company their whole lives, and “career development” typically meant promotion up a single ladder.Today, things have changed. Jobs change rapidly — many of the jobs people hold today did not exist 20 years ago — and we tend to change jobs numerous times throughout our career — sometimes jumping from ladder to ladder

Kim in Colorado posed this question: ‘How do you find time to work on customer service when each day is already filled with seemingly impossible to complete tasks?’

The answer lies in the difference between working in customer service and working on customer service.

Working in customer service means taking care of your customers – always a good idea. Customers appreciate the attention and you feel good providing quality service. Being in service takes a specific amount of your time to benefit a specific customer in a specific way.

Working on your customer service is totally different. It means creating, changing, improving or fine-tuning the tools, systems and procedures you use when you are working in service for others.

Here’s a personal example:

Several years ago a magazine editor in Europe interviewed me by telephone for an article on ‘Building an Uplifting Service Culture’. He asked me to send him a high-quality color photograph to run with the article. I went right to work in service. I chose an existing photograph from my files, had a high-quality color copy made overnight, contacted a courier company and had the photograph on his desk two days later. The whole process took a few hours of my time and made the editor very happy.

The following week I went to work on my customer service. I chose 22 photographs, had them all scanned as high-resolution images and posted them on my website so that anyone, anywhere, anytime can choose the photo they want, in high or low resolution, and have it downloaded directly to their computer or sent instantly to their e-mail address as an attachment.

The whole process took a few hours of my time and has since made many editors and meeting planners very happy.

It’s easy to get very busy in customer service. Without even trying, your day is filled with seemingly impossible-to-complete tasks. Working on your customer service is different. It also takes your time, but it continues to serve after you have moved on to something or someone else.

In our climb up the corporate ladder, sooner or later, most of us encounter a bad boss. Bosses, of course, are only human and can have bad days, money problems or family crises, just like the rest of us. Or they might be dealing with a bad boss themselves. Often, though, unfortunately, they’re just someone who’s landed in the wrong position for his or her personality and experience.
