Jobs can be classified in many ways such as what are the jobs where one can earn more money (you can read the Ranking of Occupations or better paying jobs .)
Certainly the money, while important in today’s world, should not be our main motivation to get or prepare for a job.
Perhaps the most important motivational aspect is but like most cases is not very clear, we should also explore jobs that give us a better quality of life and less stress we produce something that many people are very clear. So I sometimes have asked people why they are not lawyers if it is one of the highest paid professions and the answer is because it is a very stressante and the truth is.
But then what are the jobs that produce less stress? Well in a recent study published in The Huffington Post is given a ranking of the following work that produce less stress:
1. ENT. All you have to do with the specialty care of the ears.
2. Dietitian. It seems that people like and never gain weight is a problem of the dietitian.
3. Software Engineer. To create the next operating system.
4. Computer programmer. Only the computer is our head.
5. Dental Hygiene. Whitening and cleaning teeth.
6. Specialist Language Issues. A talk has been said.
7. Philosopher. Plato and Aristotle did not talk about stress.
8. Math. For many, however, the numbers themselves are stressful.
9. Occupational Therapist. A rehabilitate people.
10. Chiropractor. A profession to have the bones in place.
What do you think this ranking? As you can imagine in many of these professions do not earn much money but they can live with less stress.

The interview that more generally we will find includes the following phases:

Greetings

It is the first impression that the coach is going to be the candidate. Therefore, the applicant must wait for the interviewer will turn to it. It is important not to take the initiative and that this naturally.

Introductory commentary

These will be initiated by the interviewer, usually a talk on general issues, unimportant, which aims to break the ice and help ease the tension that currently builds the candidate.

On the job

At this stage questions are directly related to the job profile, related to: personal data, training, professional experience, professional expectations, functions and duties of the position, personal goals, appropriateness of curriculum vitae and characteristics to the job profile , etc. It is interesting to seize the moment in which they completed the questions to ask about those issues since the company, working conditions or the selection process.

Farewell

Is the last part of the interview, in which the primary objective should be to ensure the next contact in the selection process. The dismissal must be friendly, since from the beginning to the end of the interview, it has, so that the interviewee has to take care of your image, so you should kindly leave and do not try to force the interviewer to take action as the decision to take. It is important to note the estimated time it will communicate its decision if I had to make a further contact.

• Group dynamics

In this type meets the candidates in more or less numerous groups to which the interviewer introduced a proposed topic, current affairs, business, business, social, etc., For the group to discuss the meantime, the observer will see the paper assumes that each candidate in this discussion, on their initiative, their ability to reason, to convince, to communicate with others, etc. ..

Interview with “no formal”

In certain sectors of productive activity the selection process for jobs is only in a personal interview. This type of interview has no set rules and occurs more frequently in areas related to the construction, hospitality and small business.

Recommendations to the time of going to an interview, “not formal”

Caring for how to address the interviewer (the form of “GET WITH IT”)
The interviewer has a tendency to shorten the interview as much as possible, especially when the answer is negative. However, without heavy make us should try to obtain useful information for us, other companies in the nearby future hiring opportunities, etc.
It happens frequently that the interview while the interviewer is doing its job. We must be patient and wait until we pay a little attention. Sometimes we have the feeling of being ignored. We must try to draw your attention without being heavy. If the interview is conducted in the cafeteria to avoid drinking alcohol and exciting, not to smoke.
Collect as far as possible information on the characteristics of the company and its evolution. Perhaps the interviewer did not ask us for our professional skills. In that case we must, briefly demonstrate our skills to work activity offered are ideal.
Who are willing to work on time and place that the employer considers appropriate.

Depending on the development of dialogue we can find interviews:

• Policy, standard or formalized

The interviewer asks factual questions with a preset schedule, trying to cover all the aspects we need to know the candidate. The answers should be succinct and not go beyond. This interview usually pose little difficulty, since it leaves little room for improvisation, and hence the doubts.

• Open or informal

The interviewer tries to poll subjective information (mood, feelings, opinions on various topics, etc..). In this interview is to be sure what is being said, without running into contradictions, therefore, is a difficult interview, and in which the degree of sincerity must be high.

• Semi-directive

In this case, it is often the most common, they mix the two previous types.

We can differentiate between the objectives of the interviewer and the interviewee.

Interviewer Objectives

• Find out if you are suitable or appropriate for the job.
• Find out if you can, you know and want the job.
• Predict your performance in it.

Goals by the interviewee

• Demonstrate compliance with the job profile offered.
• Transmit the work skills required for the job.
• Prove that you are really interested.
• Make a positive impression on the interviewer.

Attempt to measure the skills and capabilities of a given subject, when faced with certain types of problems and situations, in order to overcome them.

Among the personal characteristics measured by this type of evidence we need to differentiate the tests that evaluate the general intelligence of the subjects they explore and appreciate the other components aptitude or specific skills

Among the tests that assess general intelligence should be noted that the technique used to present the subject questions or problems the person has to solve, or Domino, who appreciate the general intelligence factor of the subject, by measuring their ability to interpret figures without meaning, discover relationships between them, capture them structure and develop a systematic method of reasoning.

The test questions that measure intelligence are the following style:

MAN is to BOY as women is to:
Girl girl girl lady Crowd
What is the number that follows in this series of numbers?
2, 4, 6, 8, … …
With these words can form a sentence. If this phrase were correct type a (A). If an incorrect type (B).
GREEN TREES ARE NOT THE … … … … … ()
Which of these objects is not for the group?
Chalk Pen Pencil Brush Cheer
Among the tests that assess the specific skills they are exploring factorially cite individual attitudes such as abstract reasoning, numerical and verbal, mechanical aptitude, spatial vision, speech understanding, management skills, bureaucratic, numerical calculation, troubleshooting, mathematical reasoning, spelling, verbal comprehension, vocabulary, syntax. There are also those that measure the individual’s ability to correctly understand and execute written orders of relative complexity, memory tests, etc.

When an employer needs to fill a job performs a selection process by which, and a large group chooses the most suitable candidates. Selection consists in subjecting a group of successive screens until you get a few of them that are as close as possible to the appropriate profile for the job. That is why we must know the point of view of the employer.

The selection process we can sketch as follows:

Recruitment

Receipt of applications (letters, resumes, Self Promotion, telephone, etc..,)

Preselection

Analysis of the different candidates, grading and response.

Test

Citing candidates, professional tests, aptitude tests, psychological assessments, group dynamics, etc..

The new CAP ( Certificate of Professional Competence ) is required in all EU countries, although some years ago that has been taught in advance and it is the case of Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands and France.
For professional drivers to obtain permission for the first time will have to do a course of 140 class hours, and in addition to receiving lectures with normal matter also receive training on road safety and everything related to hazardous materials ( ADR ).
