January 06 Newsletter

Welcome to 2006!

First of all Beaumont Consulting would like to welcome you to 2006 with a Happy New Year! This is our first newsletter of the year and I’m sure there are many big things in store for the both of us. Best of luck in all you do this year and here’s hoping it’s filled with much cheer.

Terrific Temp

Outstanding performance from our temps doesn’t go unnoticed. We truly appreciate their efforts and therefore would like to acknowledge the great work they are doing for us.

Our January Temp of the Month award goes to Martine Rapson. Martine has done a number of temporary jobs for Beaumont, most recently at Teachers Federation Health where she has received glowing reports.

Relax! Nobody ever died from going to an interview

Does the thought of going on a job interview cause your palms to sweat and your body to break out in hives? Stop itching; you're not alone.

The vast majority of job seekers admit to emotions ranging from mild uneasiness to downright panic leading up to their interviews. The good news is there have been no reported cases of job seekers who died of nervousness during a job interview. So relax and follow these simple tips for keeping your anxiety at bay before and during your interview.

First, take the proper amount of time to prepare for your interview. Being well-prepared will boost your confidence and lower your anxiety. Experts recommend that you spend at least three hours preparing for each interview.

You should draft answers to the most common interview questions and practice speaking them out loud. You also should read up on the company with which you will be interviewing and prepare some questions of your own. This lets the interviewer know that you are truly interested in the company and the position.

As a final step in your preparation, make sure you have good directions to the interview site. Some job seekers make a dry run to the interview site to ensure the directions are correct and to estimate the amount of time they will need to get to the interview on time.

Joke of the month

Two parrots are sat on a perch. One said to the other, “Do you smell fish?”

Quote of the month

It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.
