Personal Presentation at Interview

!: Personal Presentation at Interview

You got the interview; I knew you would! So time to start making your preparations. First things first. What are you going to wear and how are you going to look? Someone once told me that there is no such thing as over dressed; just better dressed. Never has this been so true as when you are attending an interview. A suit is always the answer no matter how the employees dress for their regular work day. When you are an employee you too can dress like them. In the meantime you are making a good first impression for which you have one chance and one chance only. You want to make it count.

The obvious things are to get your suit dry-cleaned. Polish your shoes and tidy and polish your briefCase or handbag. Make sure your shirt and tie, or your blouse, are clean and ironed. Less obviously make sure your hair is clean and tidy; if you are due for a cut go and have one as part of your interview preparation. Give yourself a manicure and if you do paint your nails then clear or neutral polish only (this way if you do get a chip on route to your meeting it isn't going to stand out like the proverbial sore thumb). For those of you that wear make-up less is more. Make sure you smell fresh, try to avoid garlic the day before and double check your overall appearance, including your teeth, before you go in.

Now, what are you going to take with you? A copy of your CV. If there are two interviewers take three copies; one for each of them and one for yourself so that you can refer to dates and figures where need be. A pen and a blank sheet of paper (or notebook) so that you can take notes on anything important that you discuss; hopefully you will be writing down the date of your next interview. Tissues if you have a cold or it is hayfever season. Change if their offices are in town and you need to pay and display for your parking. A map or directions of how to get there with the time, name of the interviewer(s) and building you are to meet in if the Company have multiple buildings on one site. If the role asks for you to have certificates in things like first aid then take these too.

The general tip is that you and everything you have with you should look clean and tidy. No dog ears on the edges of your CV. No three things falling on the floor when you try to find a pen. Now research the journey. How long is it going to take, do you know exactly where you are going, have you factored in a buffer of time to allow you some breathing space; better to be early than arrive flustered and out of breath. Not because there is anything wrong with being out of breath, but have you ever tried to focus and concentrate when you're flustered?

So, you are ready. You got there on time and presented yourself at the right reception desk ten minutes early. You are signed in, have your name tag and are sat in reception. Pick up a company brochure; it makes you look interested even if you are thinking about the meeting rather than reading it. Switch off your phone and wait for them to come and get you.... breath... think good thoughts... relax...

Tomorrow we are going to talk about the power of positive intention. See you there.

How to Extend the Battery Life on Your Laptop Computer Without any Extra Power Sources

!: How to Extend the Battery Life on Your Laptop Computer Without any Extra Power Sources

Laptop Computers are great portable offices, and as technology increases and speeds of Computers increase, we are seeing battery life also increase and provide longer usage time with out the need to be "plugged in."

But occasionally, as business travelers, who need to be plugged in, it can be hard to find an outlet and one may be stranded to only use the internal juice in your Computer.

Most laptop batteries last about 2 hours on a full charge, but I found a couple of creative ways to turn those 2 hours into 3 or even 4 hours of pure usage time, with out having to buy more gadgets to fill up or weigh down my briefCase.

Here are two really simple things you can do, to prolong your power on your laptop and get more usage out of your charge.

1. Turn off your wireless transmitter

When you are using your laptop with your wireless transmitter, it is always looking for a signal. So by disabling it, in an area where you cannot get any internet access via wireless, it will actually conserve your battery life.

2. Lower Your Screen Contrast

Most people don't think about this one.

But if you usually have your laptop Monitor set at the highest and brightest contrast, your Computer is working the hardest.

If you simply lower your contrast in half to make it less brighter, you will find you can still see the interfaces on your computer very well.

By doing this in a bright area, you may have trouble if your bightness "whites out" too much.

But in a dark airplane for example, lowering your contrast and brightness in half can actually make it easier to see your screen and make it less bright and even more enjoyable for your passenger sitting next to you, to not have a bright laptop light shining in their face.

Using these two simple powersavers can possible let your laptop power cycle jump from 2 hours to 3 or even 4 hours.

Coach Handbags - Where To Find Them Full Price Or Discounted

!: Coach Handbags - Where To Find Them Full Price Or Discounted

I can't think of any women that I have ever known that haven't enjoyed shopping for new handbags. I have enjoyed countless of hours doing nothing but purse shopping with many of my friends or family members. Each experience was different because each individual likes were different. Some wanted handbags with cell phone and make-up compartments, where others just need it to have a separate compartment for loose change and breath mints.

No matter what type of handbag each individual got, they all had one thing in common. They each wanted name brand and at the least expensive price as possible. We all know that getting something on sale is like winning a mini lottery, but to find a name brand handbag like Coach for instance, discounted is like a slice of heaven on earth. I have personally attacked my husband with hugs and kisses when finding Coach handbags at discounted prices.

More than 50 years ago Coach opened its first outlet. They were then family owned and had 6 or 7 people running a few shops. Now there are over 300 Coach stores in the U.S alone and there are plans to open more stores internationally in the coming years. New York City is where the main headquarters resides and is a publicly traded company. Coach(COH), has offices in nineteen countries including Japan. Coach even has outlet stores all throughout the United States.

Coach stores can be found in malls all over. Its merchandise can also be found in upscale department stores such as Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Dillard's and many other stores. Coach handbags and other Coach merchandise can also be found in some boutiques.

Some of the high end designers will have an outlet store that carries items that are discontinued or just overstocked items from their main stores. Some just carry the items that were not up to par to go into the main stores so they are sent to outlets to be sold for discounted prices. These are known as irregulars. They are still genuine items and are as nice as the store items, they sometimes just have small defects to them that are so microscopic that they are not noticeable to the naked eye. Like the stitching is not 'perfect'.

Inspired by the same material baseball gloves are made from, these handbags are versatile and stylish. Since it's conception, the Coach handbag has been produced into a variety of designs, colors, shapes, and styles that have won top pick of millions of women the world over.

Coach handbags are the most sought after handbag. Since Coach is one of the most recognized name brands in the world of fashion, you will find A-list celebrities down to small girls wearing them. Coach offers many other items besides the handbag.

Coach also features women's Accessories including wallets, cosmetic Cases, shoes, watches, bracelets, scarves, belts, hats, sunglasses, key rings, charms and other items. They carry travel luggage, totes, briefCases, planners, baby bags, and other items for travel. They also cater to men and babies as well. For men they have shoes, ties, scarves, sunglasses, carry cases, and other items that are also made for women.

You are sure to find something of your liking when shopping from either a Coach store or outlet for a Coach handbag or whatever you choose. Many of the listed items found in the main stores or department stores can be found in the outlets, so get out there and start shopping! If you can't get out, just point and click and let your fingers do the shopping for you.

To save big bucks on your Coach handbags or Coach anything, try shopping online. The best place to shop for gorgeous Coach handbags ,shoes, and Accessories is online. Ebay and Amazon have everything a gal or guy could want from Coach and you don't even have to move from your favorite spot on the couch.
