Be willing to work hard and to go the extra mile. Be prepared. Do your homework. Knowledge of your product or service builds confidence which in turn, inspires others. Avoid unnecessary grumbling and complaining. Keep your work ethic on a professional plane. Don't forget the "little" guy.

This question generally comes when you apply for a executive or junior level post and it is very easy to tackle suck situations. The best answer to this question is \n"I think in around 10 years i will be the senior manager or something of this company sitting in the headquaters of the company"\nIn this way you can show your stability that you will remain with the company for a long time and it also shows your hard work and dedication that you will achieve a higher post in the company through your hard work.\n\nNow let me answer you this question in my practical life. I see myself owning a Mortgage company in next 10 years, a company that is having business in at least 15 states in USA.

I am going to make a few assumptions here, based only on your posting, first attempting to analyze where you're at, and then from there, where to go next.  \n\nANALYSIS:\n(a) You do have a desire to work in a leadership capacity -- leading projects small or large, people, ad hoc teams -- but you did not feel fulfilled by the hierarchical structure of the big corporate world. \n\n(b) You probably *DO* like business and probably have a good talent for it (despite your statement to the contrary), but you definately dislike the politics and go-go-GO! pace of the corporate world.  \n\n(c) The consulting role definately doesn't suit you because it's even MORE political, sometimes MORE fast-paced than your big corporate job.  However, I suspect that you also have found consulting to be less hierarchical, and that this small part of the consulting role you like; in fact, I would bet that was what attracted you to the consulting gig in the first place.\n\nSUMMARY: Now, you feel wholly unfulfilled by your life in both the consulting and corporate arenas. You disliked each for slightly different reasons.  You now feel stuck.\n\nOPTIONS: You need to meet a few conditions to find satisfaction:\n\n1) You would work better in a small or mid-sized organization rather than a big one.\n\n2) You want to lead -- not the whole organization -- but a small part of it.  Since you were in HR, I take it you're a "people person".  Great!  That's a plus for you.  \n\n3) I also think you'd be better off in an organization that "just gets the job done", rather than one that is always worrying about offending some other department or organization.  Focus on organizations that are apolitical (or goal-oriented, rather than process-oriented).  \n\nOPTIONS: Consider getting a job in a management capacity of a small-to-mid size nonprofit.  Not something large and political, like a school system or Red Cross, but rather, something small and growing like a charity, community service organization, arts group, etc. Get a job high-enough up in the organization to lead a team, but don't get into a job where financial, fund-raising & development, and budgeting is a primary part of the job. Understand that ALL management deals with budgeting and finances, so you cannot avoid it completely, but don't take a job as a Development Director for the XYZ Arts Council.

A good answer would be something like, "I want to learn and grow as much as I can within this job.  I hope to make a positive contribution to the team's efforts and hopefully to advance if the opportunity presents itself.  I am looking for a long-term experience with a company such as this."\n\nMy experience has been that companies want someone who will stay with the job for awhile, not someone who's going to cut and run quickly.  Using that concept as the basis for your answer is probably what they're looking for.

Usually, business ethics is a contradiction. In this day and age, ethics and standards for quality are a huge impediment being successful working for most corporations and medium-sized businesses. More than reliability and performance concerns, concerns about whether you'll be too much of an idealist are at the fore when companies interview employees. I think we've got Rome all over again lately.

Without any doubt, the best company to work for is the one you started yourself, dedicated yourself to, persisted with through good times and bad, and grew into a self-perpetuating concern.\n\nGo for it!

Sell them your time as a trusted advisor and consultant on matters that are important to them, but too complex for them to understand without help. There is nothing secret nor revolutionary about this; it is exactly how attorneys, accountants, physicians, plumbers, and other consultants make an ethical buck from "incredibly dense" people. The ethical part is how you convince them of their need for your services and the manner in which you bill them. If you are a decent person, you will come up with an ethical approach that will allow you to tolerate your own face in the mirror each morning.\n\nDon't assume that ethical automatically means "cheap" either. As you will see in many consulting books, especially "The Secrets of Consulting", your clients will actually respect you more and be more likely to follow your sage advice when you're charging them more for it.

The tone of the office is set by the leader.  If you don't have an ethical leader you can still behave in an ethical manner and maybe people will see that is the fair way to do things and they will follow suit. Then maybe you will find it.

Finance is the key to getting the top jobs, and advancing within them.  More CEOs come out of Finance than any other background.\n\nAccounting is tactical - you figure out what's in the numbers.  Finance is strategic - you plan how to grow the numbers.  Firms therefore put higher value on Finance.\n\nInfo Systems is a good field, but not if you want to get into Finance or Business Consulting.  The demand will be there in ten years, but lots of jobs here are moving to India and China - limiting opportunities in the US/Singapore/other wealthy nations.  Plus you'd have a tough time breaking into banking or business consulting if you're experience is only in Info Systems, and very few CEOs come out of IT.

By referral is the best.  If not, set up appointments and interview them and ask about their investment strategies and ethical standings.\n\nBut before any of this, read Investment for Dummies to bring yourself up to speed on investments.  You have to know the minimum before investing.

Just be positive, and know you can do this. People are always looking for someone that want to be at work and help the company grow and make profit. Just let them think that you will be a positive aspect for them. Always act upbeat, and know what you are doing.

Provide leadership. Act as an icon for the company and what it stands for. Drive the overall organization, by puting in place other managers that agree with the CEO's direction. \n\nI think it depends of course on the size and industry of the company. Some CEOs need to be high profile, external voices of the company, while most are internal champions driving the organization. \n\nThey are responsible to shareholders/stakeholder for equity performance and debt holders for debt. They are responsible to their customers, employees and society for products/services they provide and the impact it has on their community/world. \n\nAt least they should feel responsible in these ways. Many only care about making money for themselves first and last, and in between getting their shareholders a little something. They could care less about everything else, and that's what makes me despise most CEOs. Certainly they may lie to make you believe otherwise, but people today are smarter than that.
