It's true. The presidential candidates are essentially the interviews too much work, while their constituents for human resource managers and researchers are used. "We have this great ongoing research to our president," said Cheryl Hyatt, CEO and Partner of Hyatt-Fennell, a company executive search based in Pennsylvania. "And the American people, and voters play the role of the search committee."

Fight with views of the candidates for the presidency, job seekers have to interview a front row seat for a presentation, networking and self branding. The candidate, after all, do many good things - and some bad things. This is what job seekers can learn to follow the presidential race in 2016th

, 1. His Questioning know all too common interview question: " Tell you - Me To You - also " good presidential candidate has his answer by heart the story of Marco Rubio .. begins with migration parents who work hard. Trump puts his business experience. Hillary Clinton talks about his years in politics and often mentioned his civic education in Illinois.

Note jobseekers. It offers a version CliffsNotes ready to go, what you are and why you are applying. "You have the story of his career to have," says Suzanne Bates, CEO of Communications Bates in Massachusetts and author of the book "may be any leader. To achieve Science extraordinary executive presence," Be brief, but he knows the relevant details of work history includes. You can even call some personal data.

, 2. Perfect to your soundbites "My advice to job seekers is to be treated as interviews discussion of preparation," says Joe Weinlick, Vice - President Allende, an online - Network Careers in Pennsylvania based, connecting job seekers with employers.

The presidential candidates know the power of a single-line program - and it should. practical answers aloud so you can speak clearly and distinctly, affected to sound while. Stories tell to illustrate your credentials, and your goal is polished look without a script come from.

3. Know your audience. As voters, manager of Rent have a special ability, soulless to recognize the canned responses and replies. Rubio took heat the same practiced phrases during a Republican debate to provide. do not fall into this trap experienced candidates. They know that different target groups - and different jobs - require different approaches. Refine their resume and interview responses better link to their experience with the responsibilities of the various roles.

"It is not enough to make a version of your resume to have," says Weinlick. "Ha versions of a leaf personalized life, to ensure that when you go for an interview, you can bring one of the persons with relevant stories live."

4. Develop your brand. The job seekers need a "sense of self crystallizes," said Bates. A strong candidate knows who she is as a product and receive this message on your resume, interview, LinkedIn and any other social media platform or website. To paraphrase another president: It is not what do a potential employer for what you can do for your prospective employer.

Presidential candidates have teams of people, voters identify in the collection and analysis of the images of the campaign their political brands. While you probably do not have a group discussion are available, try to talk with mentors and colleagues about how they see professionally, Bates said. Ask them what they think their strengths are and summarized as their contributions to your employer. "You'd be surprised what people are saying," Bates said.

5. kiss babies, it is optional, but shaking hands is not it. The presidential candidates know when it's time to work a room, shaking hands, posing for presentations and car photos with voters. While small children can not be allowed on their network functions, it is always important for online individual and professional connections.

have a strong network, you can earn the first portion to a new job and your resume in the top of the stack can land an interview. Weinlick said: "The most likely person to get an interview, is one that has been introduced by a colleague, not the one who submitted the online application".

Other benefits, such as 401 (k) corresponding options, and procurement policy will have a significant impact on your finances over time. Many companies allow you to start a 401 (k) a review after a certain period of employment.

While in the office of a state senator working, sometimes felt Alice Fisher misplaced. "I have worked with people who had less than my children," said Fisher, 69th

As older workers , she was able to hold her own, but she still felt sometimes like the mother of the office and heard his share of the unconscious statements on grounds of age, Fisher, who said the radical movement age a founded national group studied age discrimination, to educate and address.

The comments on his age does not indicate the intention not to hurt him, but made him feel as if his colleagues thought about how slowly out of touch or. "I might have been slower to use new technologies, but always done," he said.

Fisher is not the only workers to generational differences in the workplace. As more employees delay the pensions offices and enters many barriers between experienced workers and young people, it is becoming increasingly important, sensitive to interact across the aisle generations with colleagues. While age discrimination in employment preventing law discrimination of workers against employees or applicants more than 40 years due to the number of candles on the birthday cake, are legally a few strokes related to age - and can erode trust, power and morality, but.

"I think the language is powerful," says Tracey Gendron, assistant professor in the Department of Gerontology at the University of Virginia Commonwealth "do these words really a big difference you ,. do."

Therefore calls before loving his ex "granddaddy" Mentor or employee for many years to say that surprisingly easy it is to learn new computer programs. Here are four ageist unconsciously sets Nix vocabulary.

1. "You're overqualified." This statement, lobed usually for job seekers, "almost always is the code" You're too old, "said Joanna Lahey, Associate Professor at the University A & M of Texas and an expert on discrimination due to the age and the relationship between the results of the age and the labor market. Experienced candidates can also "never take wage" or hear "a revolving door here", if they are going to be considered for a job considered, Fisher said.

While it is illegal to not hire someone who generally accepted due to their age, this oral solution is.

"To say that someone is overqualified than ageist no court," Lahey said. But the problem with this statement is that there are candidates the ability to solve the problem and show how they were able to use Lahey, he said. "People do not have the opportunity."

2. "Do not worry, you are not required to this class of computers - to take over education." Employees should avoid the assumption that older workers are technological dinosaurs that can not learn new skills.

should be experienced staff "to change adverse, they will not take on new technologies," says Jessica Kriegel, author of "Unjust Labels: How can you benefit your workplace trenches generations clichés." "But what is often older workers to implement changes in technology."

If administrators do not available education for older workers, which may affect their professional qualifications. "If you are not offered training, their skills begin to deteriorate and is a self - fulfilling prophecy," says Lahey.

3. "When are - you retire?" This is one of the least phrases Fisher said - her. "This is something that comes and baked just inside," says Fisher.

Employees of a life can not want to give up because they find rewarding career or can not afford to stop working. You do not know - do not assume. Moreover, the alleged excuses employers not to prioritize development workers more years at work and assume that the employee investment regions in the company and its future.

4. "baby - boomers are ..." When it comes to a group of generations, young and old, Kriegel recommends away generations labels to paint any age group in any way. "There is an association with the word" boom "that are out of touch, Tech-adverse, whatever," he said.
It is the same problem with labels for young professionals, also. For example, employees can see the millennium as justified or easily angered.

"The label itself is not bad. It's the way we use," he said.

And it is something to consider, Gendron said, it is that mistreat older workers to turn against their younger counterparts. If the employees in the labor market not experienced appreciate working, Gendron said: "We are very discriminating in our own future."
