The best way to approach this may be to define what sort of activity you want to be self-employed in and begin doing that part-time while employed elsewhere. Many hobbies and part-time jobs help you develop the necessary skills that later help you avoid business failure.If you are now unemployed—or soon will be—consider self-employment as a way to earn temporary income. Paint houses, do tax returns, design Web sites, or do whatever else you know how to do to earn cash. The extraincome will help get you through to your next “real” job. If you know you want to be self-employed or start a particular type of business, it may also be wise to seek a job in your area of interest. Depending on the job, you can then gain the skills and contacts you need to succeed in that work on your own.

• Individual testing stations are like library carrels; they’re separated by halfwalls.
• The height of your chair’s seat will be adjustable and the chair will swivel. Chairs at most testing centers have arms.
• You can adjust the contrast on your computer monitor. If you notice any flickering, ask the supervisor to move you to another station.
• If your mouse has two buttons, you can use either button to click your way through the exam (both buttons serve the same function). Don’t expect to have a mouse with a wheel for easy scrolling. Trackballs are available, but only if you request one before you begin the test.
• Testing rooms are not soundproof. During your test, you might hear talking and other noise from outside the room.
• Expect the supervisor to escort other test-takers in and out of the room during your test. Do your best to ignore this potential distraction.
• If the testing room is busy, expect to hear lots of mouse-clicking during your test.
• Earplugs are available upon request.
• Expect anything in terms of room temperature, so dress in layers.
• You’ll be under continual audio and video surveillance. To guard against cheating, and to record any irregularities or problems in the testing room as they occur, the room is continually audiotaped and videotaped.

You can’t change the size of the font on the screen, unless you specifically request before the exam begins that a special ZOOMTEXT function be made available to you.

1. Be up front about your financial needs and goals.
2. Take time to learn about the recruiter’s practice and the markets he or she serves.
3. Establish the ground rules for how you plan to work together and avoid duplication of effort.
4. Offer names of other candidates who may fit a recruiter’s portfolio. In appreciation, the recruiter may set up more interviews for you.
5. Recruiters want you to be successful. Ask them to coach you for the interviews they arrange.

Remember that the employer compensates recruiters. But it’s a win-win situation. They win when they refer you for a position you accept.

1. To find out whether or not it’s a place you want to work
2. To discover what skills the job or the company most values
3. To ferret out as much as you can about the company culture and mission in order to align some of your competencies to fit the company’s style and goals
4. To impress the employer when he or she asks: “Tell me, what do you know about our company, and why would you like to work here?”
5. So you can make intelligent queries when the employer asks you: “So, do you have any questions about our company?”
6. To give you an advantage because your competitors for this job are not researching the company to the degree that you’re going to.

You can locate facts and opinions about companies in a number of ways:

• From company Web sites
• Through other research on the Internet
• From proprietary, or “for-fee,” databases
• From one-stop job centers around the country
• In public libraries, from their books, periodicals, and computer databases
• From the interviewer, during the interview itself!

Research will lower your anxiety level because you know with whom you’re dealing.
