To a painter, an untouched canvas holds unlimited possibility for a bold new creation. But for each artist, the potential for something great is counterweighed by the potential for unparalleled failure.

Similarly, excitement and anxiety loom over job interviews. When you present yourself to an employer, you hope all the right words come out and you woo them. You only practice the perfect responses to questions, never the wrong answers. But in the back of your mind you know that you might end up sounding like a terrible candidate who no employer will ever hire, even if you’re actually the perfect person for the job.

For a job seeker, the blank canvas is the open-ended question. When the right answer requires more than a yes or a no, job seekers need to take advantage of the freedom they have with their responses, not fear it. But perhaps no question intimidates job seekers more than “So, tell me a little about yourself.”

You have many ways to answer, and the best response might depend on the stage of your career. continue reading…

Some time ago I have been approached by a large consulting & staffing firm to talk how to determine a good staffing/recruitment company to avoid pitfalls. What we came up with is, that there are mainly 3 parties involved in a project and each party has its own priorities and goals. It is very important for the success of the project that there is a “meeting of the minds” for all parties that are involved as HR related issues are the most time consuming activities in any project that involves people with different backgrounds working experience.

The more the priorities and goals can overlap each other, the more the endeavor is successful as every party is getting the expected results. continue reading…

The world of SAP consulting has some very inventive people involved in it, at every level, from consultants who can drag every last ounce of benefit from the SAP software solution to consulting houses who deliver excellent, fully functional solutions (beyond the definitions of the initial spec, while still bringing them in on time and under budget), and…….. then we have the SAP agents who have specialized in the art of lifting money from a customers budget, before it touches the consultants bank account and, to be fair, the latest generation of agents seem to be mastering their skills well.

During the late 1990’s the standard strategy, was to take a high commission by keeping the rate being offered secret from the consultant for as long as possible. 20-30% was the norm even then.

How much commission is a fair compensation for the work an agent does?

This question has been around since consultants were first hired on contracts in the industry, and has been addressed innumerable times, both in the past and currently, with people having very different views on the answer – however, it seems that many of the agents also have an opinion!

The days of agents charging what they want are long over – so why is it that today in 2011 there are agents for large companies charging upwards of 30% of a consultant’s charging rate – is that the agreed commission rate – is that even a defendable position given what role an agent has in the process? continue reading…

Interviewing someone for a job is not as easy as it looks. First, as the interviewer, you’re tasked with finding the person who will not only do the job well but also fit in well with the other employees. You have to assess abstract qualities that can’t be found on a résumé. Because you have to repeat the process for every potential employee, you end up asking question after question to applicant after applicant.

Still, interviewers need to be told something: “What is your biggest weakness?” is not a good question. It just isn’t.
