- Job Search Tip of the Week, by Brian Krueger, author of "College
Grad Job Hunter," the #1 book for entry level job search:

"The Articulation Factor "

The ability to articulate your background is a combination of good
preparation (which you have full control over) and
vocabulary/enunciation (which you have practiced control over).
Your "smartness," "sharpness," "quickness," "aggressiveness," and
"brightness" are all attributes that are evaluated based upon your
verbal articulation. If you have "lazy lips" you may want to
practice enunciating and forming your words more clearly. And
whatever you do, don't continually reach for elusive words to
perfectly portray your thoughts and feelings. Any practiced
interviewer prefers an individual who is comfortable within their
vocabulary level than one who is always searching for obscure words
at the level above.

In practicing your articulation, take careful note of the "quickie"
words which we tend to develop in our everyday speech pattern.
Words like "gonna" and "yeah" and 'y'know" and "kinda" are all
interview stoppers. They can make you sound uneducated and coarse.
And they have a habit of repeating. We have all probably had a
parent (or sibling) point out the use of "y'know" in our speaking.
In addition, you may have particular words or phrases you use for
emphasis which can become particularly pronounced in the interview.
These would include "to tell you the truth" and "truthfully" and
"basically" and "OK, well" and "Like,".... As a side note, I once
counted the number of times a candidate said "to tell you the
truth" after it became particularly repetitive. She said it over
fifteen times. And I began to question her truthfulness.

Make sure you are fully prepared for the interview, reviewing both
your own background (nothing will kill an interview quicker than
someone who cannot recall personal events) and the background of
our company. Proper research will help you articulate your answers
in a clear and succinct manner.

- Job Search Book Online

There are at least two other entry level Web sites that offer books
on job searching, proclaiming that they will tell you everything
you need to know about entry level job search.

However, there is a very important point about these books they
don't mention up front: they cost money.

At CollegeGrad.com, we give you two things they don't:

1. The #1 entry level job search book ("College Grad Job Hunter").

2. It's free.

It's that simple. So don't buy the hype. Read the real
information you need online:

http://www.CollegeGrad.com/book

Don't ever pay for books or reports or resources of lower quality
when you can access the very best quality information for free.

P.S. Yes, you can buy "College Grad Job Hunter" in hardcopy format
as well at Amazon.com for $15 (actually, 30% off that price), but
the online version is better. Why? Because the version at
Amazon.com (the 2003 edition) is being continually updated at
CollegeGrad.com. So the most current version of the book is
actually the online, free version.
