Finding the right job for your skills and interests can be an involved process. Typically, the process will begin with accepting a job interview, which can be done in several different ways.
Step1
Budget at least 15 minutes to accept a job interview. Whether you are accepting the incoming call or returning a potential employer's call, you will want to conduct the call when you don't sound rushed or distracted. The call will likely only take a few minutes, but you want to leave a buffer of time in case your interviewer is chatty.
Step2
Keep pencil and paper close to the phone. You will need to take notes on the exact time, location and other details about your upcoming job interview.
Step3
Check your email or mailbox for job interview offers, as well. Some companies prefer these means as ways to communicate with job applicants.
Accept the Job Interview
Step1
Return the offer the same way you received it. For instance, if you were contacted by phone, call the employer back at the same number and speak to the same person when possible. If you were contacted by email, respond electronically.
Step2
Accept the job interview with kindness and brevity. Thank the employer for the opportunity and stay on the phone only long enough to gather all the information you need for the interview. This will show that you value his/her time.
Step3
Call to confirm the day before if you are offered an interview several days prior to the actual interview date. If you are offered the interview on short notice, there is no need to confirm.
Attend the Job Interview
Step1
Attend your interview in the appropriate attire for the workplace. Based on the requirements of the job, this could range from formal attire to business casual (slacks, button-down shirt, polo shirt) to blue jeans and a T-shirt.
Step2
Thank the employer for the opportunity to interview with him or her and be sure to follow up with a thank-you call, email or hand-written note within three days.

How to Accept a Critique of a Manuscript
Every writer needs friends and colleagues who can provide honest critiques. By learning to accept a critique gracefully, a writer encourages others to continue to offer this valuable feedback.
Step1
Listen. Sit quietly during the critique. Don t try to argue or explain. If something the critic says isn t clear, make a note and ask about it after the critique is over.
Step2
Remain calm. It s painful to hear that the manuscript you worked so hard on has problems, but don t take the critique personally. Remind yourself that every reader has a unique set of experiences and expectations which will effect how your story is interpreted.
Step3
Thank the critic for the time and effort involved in preparing the critique.
After the Critique
Step1
Let your manuscript cool off. Set it aside for a few days, along with the critic's written comments and the notes you took during the critique.
Step2
Decide which suggestions to incorporate into your revised manuscript and which to discard. Transfer the comments you want to incorporate onto a master copy of your manuscript and keep it on file.
Step3
Revise your manuscript using the marked-up master.

What's the single most effective thing you can do to get yourself your dream job? Talk to people and let them know that you are looking! Take along some networking cards (they're like business cards in size and shape, but more like a mini resume in content) to pass out and you'll be that much closer to getting what you want.
Articles resource
Step1
Use your computer and a common program such as MS Word to pick out a business-card sized template that you can use for your networking cards. Most templates will accommodate eight cards. Put all the information in one section/card of the template, then copy and paste the info into the other sections.
Step2
On the front of each card, include your name,contact phone numbers, and e-mail address; latest or most desired job title; and a catchy tag line.
Step3
On the back of each card, include two or three descriptive sentences, or a bulleted list of your experience and accomplishments, or a couple of testimonials from former employers or co-workers.
Step4
Once you've put all the information onto your networking cards, print them. Then, off you go to talk to people!
Step5
Now when you re talking to friends, family members, acquaintances, or teammates, you can tell them that you re looking for work, the sort of work you d like to do, and a bit about your previous experience. Remember to say, Here are three of my cards. Please pass them on to people you know in business people who might need someone like me!
