Did You Know that the new Microsoft XP Service Pack 2
(SP2) automatically strips out and remove images from HTML emails sent to users
who have SP2 installed and are using Microsoft Outlook Express on a Windows XP
computer? This also happens with Outlook 2003. The idea is to
provide safer E-Mail handling but it does degrade your reading experience.
Here are some ideas to get round this annoyance:
1. Add our address crsnews@crsitjobs.com
to your address list.
2. Outlook Express - turn off the "Block images and other external content in
HTML e-mail" option after selecting Tools and Options and clicking on the
Security tab.
3. Outlook 2003 - right click on the suppressed image
box, and choose to display it.
Another way to ensure you receive our newsletters every
month is to "white-list" our E-Mail address with your ISP if you can, or add it
to your "Safe Sender's List" if appropriate.
In any case, all back issues are published at

 While
researching the recruitment business in the UK, I attended a seminar for
recruitment specialists, and was particularly impressed by a session entitled
"The Magic Wand". It's a simple technique to dramatically increase (40%
claimed) a candidate's chances at a job interview. So, if you would like
an extra boost in that regard, read on ......
1. Write down on a pad at least 6 questions to ask about
the job or company, e.g., career prospects, training provided, etc.
2. Make sure that you carry the pad and a pen to the interview.
3. Take notes of at least 2 things said by the interviewer (shows interest and
is flattering).
4. When the interviewer asks "any questions?" there ought to be a couple of your
questions still unanswered. If all are answered, say you had questions
prepared but they were all covered during the interview. If you don't get
asked for questions, then politely say "May I ask some questions?" This
shows that you are prepared and keen.
5. At the end of the interview,
make sure that they know that you want the job.
That's it! It seems so simple and of course, you
must do all the other good interview things, like research the company, dress
smartly, be on time, etc., (see
www.rileyguide.com for lots of tips). We have passed on this technique
to some of our candidates and it certainly boosted their confidence, impressed
their interviewer, and I am sure that it contributed to their getting job
offers. Try it and tell me how you got on.
