Comment on: Blog Post 'What is your strategy when faced with a high volume of applications ?': daily basis, then figure out a way to give them and exercise that could put them in a similar situation. In the past for, say junior marketing analysts, I've provided them with sample data and asked them to do some basic computations, and submit an analysis on what they've found. That's an easy one. For your junior assistant, I'm guessing they do some mix of research, communication and scheduling. I might ask them to submit an draft email, requesting a meeting for the CEO of your company, with the CEO of a potential partner company. Gives you a chance to see non-resume business writing, and communication skills/style. Or for research, I might ask them to submit a list of 10 commercial spaces currently for rent within a local zip code you define. Probably not that hard to find, and it would be interesting to see what you get back. Some might send an email with a list of addresses, while others might send an Excel sheet with columns for address, broker, square footage, price, etc. Once you get to the interview process, it would be interesting to talk with them about the approach they used to gather their information. Probably a lot more insightful than standard interview questions. The challenge is always getting an exercise that's relevant to the job, but also simple and doesn't require a ton of institutional knowledge. Does that help?…; Added by Ian Jones at 11:40am on March 30, 2010

Comment on: Topic 'Another Question From A Career Coach': ng them this or that about their situation. Some take the advice but many may even feel they're essentially debating with a child--relatively speaking. Henning is right to suggest that these senior professionals needing to market their expertise by offering to consult and by engaging others through social media. They need to crow about what they know and what they would advise on subjects they're knowledgeable enough to give an opinion. If they don't have a computer they need to get on one at the local library. Senior professionals need to join professional groups; alumni groups, technical groups and start connecting with potential decision makers who may re-engage them in projects, temp-work, or direct full-time opportunities. They will be happily surprised to find people like me--over 60 and still kicking and networking--and I'm certainly not an aberration. Finally, Mikal—the 55-65+ professional set sometimes need to be reminded that because of the blatant age discrimination that exists out there—besides getting on computers and networking through social media--they also need to make an effort to get and stay physical by getting some regular exercise going. It sends a signal that you’re not wasting away in a rocking chair—which seems to be the impression some people think about when they think of the elderly. And if you’re twentysomething you may think anyone over fifty years of age may be over-the-hill. So getting and staying healthy is imperative. Better yet, seek out exercise that not only works the body out but exercise that gets the competitive juices flowing again. Every state and many cities in the country (and many cities outside of the U.S.) have Senior Olympic competitions (you have to be age 50+ to compete) that mirror the Olympic spirit through sport competitions—both team and individual. The benefits are on the personal, physical and team level which is extraordinary when you think about it. By participating you are also embracing the statement that says: “You don’t stop playing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop playing.” And mentioning your participation in Senior Olympic events, maybe even winning a medal is worth mentioning in the “Extracurricular Section” of your resume. It becomes a friendly reminder that in work or play—you can be counted on to give your best effort. Why? Because someone will notice and may be impressed enough want to connect with you.…; Added by Valentino Martinez at 2:25am on June 19, 2011
