5 interview tips from a Goldman Sachs campus recruiter

at Goldman Sachs.

Goldman Sachs is one of the most sought-after places to intern in North America.
It's also highly competitive. Last summer, the firm had 59,000 applicants for roughly 2,900 intern positions.
To help internship — and job — candidates navigate through the application process, Goldman published a Q&A with its head of University Relations, Taylor MacKenzie, on its website.
Her job is to help prepare students for the recruiting experience at Goldman Sachs.

Here are the highlights of the Q&A.

These days, it's all about the perks: companies, possibly in lieu of an abundance of jobs or exorbitant salaries, have made an effort to outdo each other in the perk department. Netflix upped the ante in 2015 by announcing a year of paid family leave, and Facebook went as far as to offer egg freezing. And while those are certainly offers that will make you pause, the majority of us not working at the world's most sought-after tech jobs may wonder what's left on the table for the regular folk. Enter: these interesting offers.

8 high-paying jobs for people who want to change the world

business insider

If you're trying to make a difference in the world — but also want to make good money — you may want to pursue a job in medicine or public safety.
In 2015, PayScale analyzed thousands of job titles to identify the best gigs for do-gooders. It found the professions in which people were most likely to say that their jobs "make the world a better place."
We then looked at up-to-date median salary data for each job on PayScale and identified which ones typically pay more that $55,000 a year.
Here are eight of the highest-paying jobs for people who want to change the world

Some people can't stand the thought of spending their work days in a cubicle, behind a computer screen, chained to their swivel chair — but others really don't mind working a desk job.

If you identify with the latter group, you've probably been warned of all the dangers of sitting for eight hours a day.

6 Harmless Lies That Can Help You Ace Your Job Interview

These fibs probably won't hurt anyone.

Business Insider

By Jacquelyn Smith

We've all been warned at some point: "Never lie in a job interview!"

But Peter Harris, editor-in-chief of online job board Workopolis, says "that's simply not realistic."

"There are definitely some lies that you will likely have to tell in order to get hired for a new job," he explains. "You certainly shouldn't lie about abilities that you don't really have. There's no point in being hired for a job that you can't actually do."

Job seekers, here is our weekly list of 10 companies that are hiring now. Click on the company names to learn more about the opportunities available.

To become a high earner, hone skills that will protect you from automated competition.

As a stay-at-home parent, you have multiple options when it comes to earning extra cash for household expenses. However, the trick is to find jobs that are lucrative enough to be worth your time but don't interfere with your childcare duties.
It's also important to make sure opportunities that allow you to work from home are legitimate, as there are plenty of scams that promise big bucks but never deliver. Read on to learn about the 10 best side jobs for stay-at-home parents, as well as 10 you should probably avoid.

Productivity stars weed out the fluff. They don't get bogged down by time wasters.

One of my great discoveries in business is that the smartest office workers ask the best questions. It's amazing how this plays out. The time-wasters and value-destroyers don't bother asking questions about the tasks they are completing that day, they just mindlessly do them. Those with a questioning attitude about the day get the most done. They do more than prioritize. They tend to ask these hard questions on a daily basis and then respond by jumping into action.

LinkedIn is a powerful networking tool, but like all tools, it's only as good as the person who wields it. Used well, LinkedIn can help you find a new job, hire fresh talent, or just strengthen your professional connections. But, in order to fully maximize the experience, you need a strong profile and a clear goal. You also need to avoid a few common LinkedIn mistakes that most users don't even realize they're making.

First things first: anyone who tells you that you can always dodge the salary history question is probably trying to sell you something. The reality of the situation is that sometimes, you just can't wriggle out of answering this question – not if you want to stay a viable candidate for the job. But, that doesn't mean that you should name your price right away. You might be able to get the hiring manager to focus on the future, not the past, and that's what you're hoping for.

8 things most companies are allowed to do even though they seem illegal

Do you ever see your boss do something and think, "That doesn't seem right," or "That can't be legal!"?
Maybe it is. Maybe it isn't.
To help you figure out whether some of your employer's sketchy, annoying, or unethical actions are legal, we talked with employment lawyers from The Ottinger Firm.
They say laws vary from state to state, but offered a general overview of seemingly illegal actions that are actually legal in many places:

One of the biggest reasons people leave their jobs is because they feel unappreciated.
"People come to work for more than a paycheck," says Lynn Taylor, a national workplace expert, leadership coach,and author of "Tame Your Terrible Office Tyrant: How to Manage Childish Boss Behavior and Thrive in Your Job." "They want to feel that their contributions are making a difference. If an employer cares about your long-term growth and happiness, you'll feel a much greater sense of purpose, and reward."

If you're happy and you know it, you may be a school principal.

According to CareerBliss, an online career community that ranks jobs based on the happiness of their employees, school principals are the happiest workers in the United States.

The rankings are based on an analysis of more than 25,000 reviews submitted by CareerBliss users from 2013 to 2015. The reviewers rated their job satisfaction in the following categories: management, peers, support, rewards, growth potential and company culture.

This is how Joy Isbell, an elementary school principal, described her job to CareerBliss:

If you're gearing up for a job search but haven't pulled out your resume much in the last decade, brace yourself for some changes. Job searching has changed in some significant ways in the last 10 years, both in terms of what the experience is like for candidates and which strategies are effective and which have fallen out of favor.
Here are eight of the biggest changes you should be prepared for if your job hunting skills are rusty.

These days, it's not uncommon to have a side job.
Work schedules are more apt to permitting flexible hours, while many career paths allow for employees to spend time pursuing other interests. The staggering amount of part-time jobs in the job market also allow for extra time to be spent raking in cash on the side.

It's great to land a job right out of college — but it's even more exciting when that job pays well.
The Princeton Review recently compiled a list of the 25 colleges with the best career placement in the country, featured in the book "Colleges That Pay You Back: 2016 Edition," published in February, based on students' ratings of career services at their school. The ratings also took into account median starting and mid-career salaries for alumni, using data from PayScale.

6 STRAIGHTFORWARD TIPS TO FINDING AND LANDING THE GIG

This is not a post about how to start a blog. Instead, I'm excited to share tips on how to get a job working for a blog. I come from a PR background, and I used to be "on the other side" when it came to blogger outreach and sponsored campaigns. I loved the creative ways we collaborated with bloggers to craft campaigns and sell products.
After about two and a half years in The Real World, I took inventory of what I felt I needed as a creative outlet, and searched for a career path that I was truly passionate about. I realized I wasn't necessarily "creating" anything (I'm still working on my cooking skills, my photography and calligraphy), so I knew I didn't want to start from the ground up on my own blog. To be honest, the thought of doing that terrified me, and I didn't have as much of a desire to be the one in front of the camera. I did know, however, that I was passionate about the digital space, I was reading a ton of blogs, and I found myself continually fascinated with the way bloggers and marketing go hand-in-hand. The job title of "Editor" always intrigued me (I was a yearbook girl in high school!), and the blogosphere offered an intriguing opportunity to me to pursue an editorial role in a fast-paced, creative scene.

While there's much to celebrate on International Women's Day, women are still lagging behind men when it comes to wages — especially in the US.
We sorted through 2015 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), which compares the median weekly earnings of men and women across several hundred professions in the US, to find the jobs where women out-earn men.
It turns out there are only five.
Here, we've highlighted the median weekly earnings (before tax), from the BLS, as well as the median annual earnings (determined by multiplying weekly earnings by 52).

Want to land your dream career? Use these 3 job search tips

Entering a job search is definitely not for the faint of heart. If you've ever had to look for a job, then you understand the emotional roller coaster that happens during this process. The highs of applying to potential dream gigs and getting called in for interviews will make you feel like you're walking on cloud nine – invincible, almost. However, the lows of not getting the job are enough to bruise even the strongest and most resilient of egos. To help you make the most of your job-search journey, here are three tips that will boost your candidacy and marketability so that you can land the job of your wildest dreams.

1. Be Patient and Strategic, Not Impulsive and Desperate
Heading into your job search without clear intentions is like going grocery shopping parched and famished – and, as we all know, nothing good ever comes from shopping on an empty stomach. (If you don't know, now you know.) Instead, first construct a plan that incorporates your skills, your expectations, and your short- and long-term career goals.

What I notice about these eight particular $100K jobs is the management aspect requires them to be in charge of creating and delivering a solution. It's not about managing staff, it's about delivering specific results to the bottom line. Take a look:

Tax Manager
Engagement Manager
Product Manager
Analytics Manager
Software Development Manager
Product Development Manager
Finance Manager
Strategy Manager
All the jobs above directly save or make a company money. The person doing the job has the ability to know if they are adding value to the organization. Which means, when they do their job well, they have the ability to demand more in return (i.e. justify raises, bonuses, flex schedule, etc.)

Want A Better Job? Create More Quantifiable Value
For those of you looking for a better job, the lesson is this: you're a business-of-one selling your services to an employer. If you want to earn more, you must validate and provide clear evidence to support how you will save or make the company enough money to justify employing you at your desired pay level. It's not up to them, it's up to you. This is particularly true when interviewing for a job. If you don't know how to present your abilities properly, you won't get the job offer.
In today's competitive job market, you not only need to provide solutions for employers, you need to effectively market your expertise and showcase the value of those solutions too. Every business, especially a business-of-one, needs a good marketing strategy to stay in business!
