Some quick pointers on when and how to successfully change jobs.

TIMING

• Best time to look for a job is when you are employed and have almost reached your potential with your present company and new challenges don't appear to be there in the future.
• Never shut the door to recruit calls, listen and evaluate the opportunity versus what you currently have. Select a recruiter that is ethical and commit to that person.
• Schedule your interviewing times when you are at your best, not when it's most convenient. Remember the first impression you make can be the last.
  

INTERVIEW

• The right attitude will help get you the job. How you carry yourself in all interviews is reflected in the final decision.
• From the first impression, your attire, posture, communication skills and energy level are all elements that will put you at the top of everyone's list.
• Go into every interview with some knowledge of what the company is about.
• Be prepared to ask good questions that will show interest in the company's future, its goals and what the role will be.
• Avoid asking questions that are selfish in nature; benefits, salary, hours of work, free parking, and vacation schedules are examples that should wait until an offer is on the table.
• Instead, sell your accomplishments and on subsequent interviews, give them a sense of what you plan to do for them.
• When the salary question comes up don't limit or restrict yourself. It is best to leave the negotiations up to your employment specialist who has been thoroughly trained to negotiate the best possible package for you.
• Instead let them know that you are impressed with this challenging opportunity, the learning potential and its future growth.
• Always leave each interview with a positive and enthusiastic impression so that a potential offer comes your way.
• Let them know that you're very interested if indeed you enjoyed your interview and would seriously consider an offer from them.
• Don't close the door if you feel a little unsure because after a little more time and more interviews, this job could be the best for you.
• Winning the job offer allows you to make a decision: accept--negotiate--or reject.
• Remember, no offer means no decision to make.
  

COUNTEROFFER AND RESIGNATION

There may be isolated situations where an accepted counteroffer will look positive at first glance.  
Statistics prove that they don't work and may appear at first to be a very sincere form of flattery, 
but are simply a stalling tactic by the employer to find a replacement.  
Think very hard before ever accepting a counteroffer.  
After all, your loyalty will always be in question and the reasons for your being out interviewing still exist.  
Short term the raise, promotion or any promises made to keep you will seem more tolerable, 
but you have lost your status as a team player and any situation in which a threat to leave 
is needed to bring on change, is suspect.  

Don't make your resignation a personal issue and as with everything in life, 
go with your gut feeling and you will usually be correct.
