Wow well considering that I work in a call center as a trainer..  \n\nHere is a link for all the information you need.  =)\n\nhttp://campusapps.fullerton.edu/career/student/jobsearchguide/ar19.aspx\n\n\nCompetencies for a Successful Interview\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nThe interview is your opportunity to market yourself as the best candidate for the job. It represents the culmination of many efforts on your part: Identifying and clarifying your goals, interests, skills or competencies; researching and identifying job opportunities; and, creating a professional commercial that will attract the interest of prospective employers. Evaluating competencies that are most important to employers will enhance your interview performance. Competencies demonstrate actions, knowledge, skills, behaviors and motivations. The following competencies will help you prepare for a job interview that will lead to a job offer from the employers of your choice.\n\nI have a well defined employer-centered objective that focuses my job search on particular employers or firms . In developing your career objective, research and review the goals, mission and objectives of the employers or firms that you are considering. Always place the employer's objectives first by integrating their competencies or values into your job objective. Present yourself as being self-aware not self-centered.\n\nI know what motivates me to succeed in achieving my goals . Identify the attributes or special qualities that you possess which allow you to overcome challenges or difficult situations as you work toward realizing your goal, whether it be education or work related. Demonstrate these strong qualities to employers by developing short compelling stories to share during the interview.\n\nI can identify my strongest abilities and skills . Match your competencies, abilities, and skills with the specific competencies and background experiences required for the position. Be prepared to provide concrete examples which demonstrate your understanding of how these skills are necessary for the job.\n\nI know what skills employers most seek in candidates within the industries that I am considering . Learn about the employer. Paying close attention to the position announcement, create a list of the required skills. Identify the skills and experiences that reflect your mastery of those specific competencies. The information you gathered will help you determine what the company is looking for in an employee. It will enable you to ask informed questions during the interview.\n\n*Competencies sought by employers include: Ability to communicate; Ability to accept responsibility; Self knowledge; Interpersonal/team player; Enthusiasm;\n\nI have seven major achievements that clarify a pattern of interest, skills, and abilities that are relevant to my career goal(s). Identify and make a list of school and work experiences (including volunteer) that support your being considered for the targeted position. Develop examples that portray these outstanding achievements. Build a framework and background for two or three short compelling stories. Make sure these stories provide substance to validate your extraordinary achievements. These compelling stories will add a face to your information. Your objective is to make a personal and professional connection with the interviewer\n\nI can specify why employers should hire me . As you present your supportive personal and job related reasons why you are the best candidate for the position, remember to project confidence and a "Can Do" attitude. Your attitude and unspoken answers are just as important as your responses to the direct questions.\n\nI am prepared to ask employer and job-centered questions . After your research is complete, you may find you have discovered a lot about the organization. You should still prepare questions to ask during the interview. Asking questions during a

The most important characteristics of a successful person is confidence and self-belief.\nObviously you should work hard to attain your goals but without the belief that you will succeed, you will most probably fail.\nThink of the the choo choo train "I think I can" lol.\n\nAlso, people should not be afraid of failure. Life is all about a learning process and through failure, you learn how to deal with future situations (think Bill Murray in Groundhog Day).\n\nGood luck and believe that you're going to kick some a$$!

You may want to read the article "Most Common Questions Asked When Starting a Business" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol45/questions.htm for information on getting tax number, business registration, etc.\n\nStarting a small business takes a lot of courage. But, as they say, courage does not pay the bills. To be successful – to stay in business – you need more than courage. You need a combination of hard work, skill, perseverance, and lots of luck. \n\nSome things you need to consider:\n- "How can I support my family while I build up by business?" \n- "What are my abilities?" \n- "Is there a market for the product or service I have chosen?" \n- "How long will it take this business to reach the financial goal I have?" \n\nYou may want to read the article "How to Start a New Business Successfully" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol51/launch.htm , which lists six steps to launch a new business successfully:\n\n1. Provide a benefit.\n2. Determine the fit with your market.\n3. Right timing is everything\n4. Be ready to support your business\n5. Develop a blueprint for success (your business plan)\n6. Market, market, market\n\nYou may want to read the article "10 Things You Need to Know When Starting Your Own Home Business"  \nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/052006/startingbiz.htm\n\nI recommend that you read the following books:\n\n- What No One Ever Tells You About Starting Your Own Business : Real Life Start-Up Advice from 101 Successful Entrepreneurs \n- Starting From Scratch: How To Start A Business When You Don't Have Money \n- If You're Clueless About Starting Your Own Business and Want to Know More \n- On the Move : How to Succeed and Survive As an Entrepreneur \n- How to Make 1000 Mistakes in Business and Still Succeed\n\nAs for getting professional help (lawyers, accountants), they are great but not really necessary. If you are willing to do what they can do and want to save the money especially if you have a shoestring budget, then you can do the tasks yourself. But they are very helpful in terms of allowing you to focus on what you do best, while they take care of important things for you. Read the article "How to Select the Right Professional Help for Your Business" http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol83/professional.htm to help you choose the best outside experts to help you in your business\n\nYou may want to consider getting a mentor to help you steer your business to success. There are several places where you may be able to find a mentor: \n\n- Government Mentoring Programs such as SBDCs, which works with community colleges and local business development councils to offer mentoring programs http://www.sba.gov/sbdc/sbdcnear.html ; or the Women's Network for Entrepreneurial Training http://www.sba.gov/womeninbusiness/wnet_roundtables.html \n\n- Volunteer programs such as SCORE http://www.score.org  which is composed of mostly retired executives and entrepreneurs \n\n- Formal mentoring programs such as Athena Foundation http://www.athenafoundation.org/programs/globallinks.html  , Helzberg Entrepreneurial Mentoring Program http://www.helzbergmentoring.org/HEMP/  , or The Aspen Institute MicroMentor Program http://www.micromentor.org \n\n- Professional organizations such as the National Women’s Business Council http://www.nwbc.gov/Mentoring/programs.html \n\n- Industry and trade associations \n- Local business groups, such as the chamber of commerce \n- Local chapters of business groups

Starting a small business takes a lot of courage. But, as they say, courage does not pay the bills. To be successful – to stay in business – you need more than courage.

Unlike the myths that some perpetuate, federal government and even private foundations hardly give grant money for a for-profit business. And yes, grants mean PAPERWORK - lots and lots of it, that is why a cottage industry of grant writers was born.\n\nNonetheless, you can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nEven SBA does NOT give out grants. From the SBA website http://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html \n\n"The U.S. Small Business Administration does not offer grants to start or expand small businesses, although it does offer a wide variety of loan programs. (See http://www.sba.gov/financing for more information) While SBA does offer some grant programs, these are generally designed to expand and enhance organizations that provide small business management, technical, or financial assistance. These grants generally support non-profit organizations, intermediary lending institutions, and state and local governments."\n\nHere is a listing of federal grants for small businesses. See if there is any available for individuals for starting a business -- THERE'S NONE.\nhttp://12.46.245.173/pls/portal30/CATALOG.BROWSE_BENEF_RPT.show\n\nMost of the federal grants are given to specific target groups with specific requirements (e.g. minority business owners involved in transportation related contracts emanating from DOT - Grant#20.905 Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Short Term Lending Program \n\nGrants are also often given to non profit groups or organizations involved in training or other similar activities (grant 59.043 Women's Business Ownership Assistance that are given to those who will create women's business center that will train women entrepreneurs \n\nFor private grants, you may want to check the Foundation Center's Foundation Grants for Individuals Online. It's a subscription based website ($9.95 per month) but their opening blurb only says that the database is ideal for "stud

1.  Good "people skills" - ability to communicate clearly, ability to gauge people correctly and adapt to their personality, ability to interact with people even when you don't like them.\n\n2.  Perspective is important if you consider success as being where you want to be in life (rather than external indicators of success).
