Email Efficiency Tips from ReplyTool

Huge interview w/ Humana for customer service position. Any tips, advice given the position I'm applying for as well.
Is it ok to take notes (paper, pen) at an interview or should you do this mentally?

Treat the interviewer the way you would a customer. They need to see professionalism, courtesy, an unflappable demeanor and resourcefulness. You should also show enthusiasm about getting this position. A while back, I interviewed (as a consultant) for a company to get a position I had every qualification for and then some. I didn't get it, and my staff manager told me the interviewer said I didn't seem excited about working for this company (and as I look back, I'm not sure I was). So that's very important.

I think it would indicate a serious interest in the position if you took short notes about key points, to help you remember. If he/she doesn't offer you a business card, make sure you get a name and title for the post-interview thank you letter. Also, when I was starting out, they'd almost always end the interview by asking if I had any questions, which I was never prepared for — not a good thing. So you might want to think about a couple-three questions you might want to ask the interviewer. Not basic things about the company, not in this day and age, with the Internet (you should definitely hit the company website — read the "About the Company" page, see where they're located and a few of the most recent news items), but job-specific stuff the interviewer might not cover.

Don't know what to tell you about asking about pay and benefits — they seem to cover that themselves these days. You need to play that by ear.

Hope your interview goes well. God bless.

imagine the email system went down in a major company…

1. how would this impact productivity?
2. do you feel companies rely too heavily on email today? Why or Why not?

The following reply is by : lennie :
I have to answer the second question first. I do feel companies rely too heavily on email today, because it is much easier to work with and you need less people to work for you, But I also feel that many companies never train, there employees, on what to do if the computer goes down, and you don't get e-mails No one knows how to answer the questions or take care of orders . I feel that companies should show there employees how to do things the old fashion way, writing a report, talking on the phone to a real person, this to me is very important.
As for No.1 question I think I answered it above, When the computer goes down, productivity stops. Have you ever called to put in an order, and be told Oh! the computer is down, can you call back later, How can you run a company this way.No one knows how to do anything Manuel anymore, its as if they are brain dead, because they rely on the computer for all there answers, and when its down, there lost.
