Forbes credits American humorist, Will Rogers, for the original quotation, “You never get a second chance to make a first impression”[i]. It’s a clever line and unarguably a truism; first can only ever happen once.
For the interviewee, however, the opportunity for a first impression occurs long before any meeting. This may include, for example, an application letter or a telephone conversation that marks the first direct contact between interviewer and interviewee, but in today’s world of social media, the first impression can be formed long before its occurrence.

Second in 5-part series featuring Certified Career Coach Arleen Bradley presenting “The In’s and Out’s of Interviewing”
Arleen Bradley is a certified career coach who has an enthusiasm for individuals and their professional transformations. You can feel confident knowing that you will work with a knowledgeable, skilled, and practiced coach.
As the founder/coordinator of two job search networking groups, I have worked with well over 275 job searchers. Currently about 250 are employed because of the resources provided at these groups. I started the first group while I was unemployed. I felt the same anger, stress, frustration, and anxiety many people feel when they experience a job loss. I searched for the support that people in my situation could give. Also, I knew I needed the networking and information that is found in such groups.
While researching the topics of discussion and looking for speakers, I discovered my passion. I soon realized that coaching others to the career of their dreams was something that I was adept at. People would seek me out for further information and support.
In order to be able to provide state of the art coaching, I obtained two certifications through the Career Coach Academies. I currently hold certifications as a Job Search Strategist and as a Career Management Coach.
As a holistic coach, I am just as concerned about the job searcher as the job search. I have found that job searchers are experiencing the same stages of grief exhibited by people who have lost a loved one. I searched for a program that would provide job searchers with the tools they need to rid themselves of the baggage they carried from their previous job. It also had to bring them hope and confidence about their job search.
I am happy to say that I have found all that and more with Dr. Lynn Joseph’s Job-Loss Recovery Program®. I found Dr. Joseph’s program to be so successful, that I became a Certified Job Loss Recovery Program® Coach from Dr. Joseph.
In addition to my three certifications, I am happy and proud to say that I am a Careerealism.com Approved Career Expert.
