If you are new to working from home you will have to deal with such issues as family interruptions, friends, neighbors, television, radio, visitors, email and phone calls.

You must structure your time and set a schedule to work on your home business. If you were working for someone else you would not expect your friends and neighbors to stop by for a visit.

You must clearly explain to people you know that this is your job and your can not stop to chat simply because you are home.

People may think that your job is less serious because you are working from home.

You must remind yourself of reasons why you choose to bring your profession home. Was it to have more free time with your children, to earn more money than your previous job paid, to create more freedom for yourself and your loved ones?

Remember your home business should be treated as a real job. You are person who makes decisions now. You must organize your time without someone else telling you when you should work and take care of your business.

Schedule a portion of your workday to answering emails and written communications and returning important phone calls.

One hour in morning and one later in day should be fine. Be sure to be consistent so you do not get distracted from your other tasks.

Focus your time on your most productive activities and find a third party to assist with less important tasks if you need to.

When you are first getting started and perhaps you are in middle of working on a project - and you don't quite know if it is going to be success you hope for, it is very easy to get distracted and go on to something else that looks more promising.

You will learn with experience what types of projects and tasks excite you, which are best fit for your knowledge, skills, and resources.

During selection process employers may use several types of interview. The process can be:

1. Carried out by one interviewer once

2. Succession of interviews by different people

3. A panel of people sitting in judgement on candidates

The aims of an interview from organisation's point of view, is to:

1. Confirm information given in application form

2. Provide candidates with further information about company

3. Evaluate suitability of candidates

4. Decide upon most suitable candidate

5. Encourage candidate to take job

Let's be clear from start; interviewing is very subjective.

Selection interviews tend to be very brief - thirty minutes to an hour is not a long time to get to know someone, give them information and make a judgement. You will need to impress potential employers quickly in order to win additional interviews or job.

Candidates may find these tips useful:

1. When you have an interview, arrive early - at least 15 minutes before start.

2. Let reception know who you are and ask if you can leave you coat somewhere. The less encumbered you are better.

3. You will be asked to take a seat and wait. Try and use time to run through your questions and if you can - try to relax.

4. Read a magazine or chat to receptionist - she may have been asked by interviewers to inform them of any negative behaviour, so make a good impression and use opportunity to gain as much company information as possible.
