| Practice Makes Perfect by Wendy Enelow - Mar, 2011 Point seven of my Ten Steps to Interview Preparation is to “practice aloud with answers to predictable questions.” After all, as the adage says, “practice makes perfect.” Some of you may be thinking “why bother?” Consider this: although networking or a great resume can land you an inter... | |||
| Civil Service Hiring: The State of New York by Wendy Enelow - Mar, 2011 This post may be one of the longer ones I've written because the hiring process for New York State is so different from the private sector process.
