When going for a job interview, do not walk in with a script of precisely what you are going to say. If you do too much rehearsal, you will sound like a robot that has been fed stock answers.

What you do need to do is to anticipate common interview questions and think up ways to answer them without sacrificing spontaneity. You need strategies that will allow you enough versatility to accommodate the unexpected twists and turns that accompany all job interviews.

One of the first things to keep in mind is that you must answer the question that has been asked. Sounds basic, doesn’t it? Yet, many people who turn up for interviews do not answer some of the questions asked of them! This is a real disaster and does them no good in eyes of the interviewer. Just listen carefully to what is being asked (as opposed to what you think is being asked) and respond to that. Never mind if your response is not quite perfect according to your perceptions.

Secondly, do not give yes or no answers to interview questions, while at the same time, avoiding the pitfall of being long winded. Think of how copywriters work. When composing an advertisement, they know that they have a very limited space within which they need to get their message out persuasively. In such a situation, every word counts. Take the same approach in job interviews.

When preparing for job interviews, managing your time well is essential for success. Mastering a few good techniques and approaches to students time management will pay you excellent dividends. Of course, time management is critically important to your job search irrespective of whether you are a student or a busy working professional.

Finally, do not get obsessed over the actual wording of your answers. In particular, avoid memorizing answers to interview questions. That can make you sound canned and artificial, which considerably lowers your chances of landing the job you want.

Alzheimers Disease (AD) is a devastating mind-robbing affliction that is now the seventh leading cause of death in the U.S. and the fifth leading cause of death for those over age 65. It will almost certainly kill all of the over 5 million existing AD sufferers within the next 8-10 years.

Alzheimers disease research has gone into high gear with hundreds of millions of dollars of budget for Alzheimers treatment and Alzheimers prevention.

As the way the disease develops and progresses is better understood, the research emphasis appears to be shifting to Alzheimers Prevention. The principal indicator of AD is the development of beta-amyloid plaques and tau protein tangles in the brain. As these develop, brain cells die. When enough of them die, symptoms begin to appear.

AD appears to be a problem similar to Infantile Paralysis (Polio) or Hydrophobia (Rabies) in that once the disease can be diagnosed from its symptoms, the damage has already been done. That damage to the victim’s neurological system is irreparable. We cannot restore lost brain cells, and even if we could, we could not replace the information and memories that the lost cells had contained…

For this reason, although there are some types of Alzheimers treatment under development that show promise, the emphasis has shifted to prevention as the way to go.

While pharmaceutical companies and the rest of the ethical drug industry are certainly deeply involved in Alzheimers disease research, others are involved too. Researchers looking at why some people get AD and others don’t are coming up with interesting findings that apply to prevention.

They have found that heredity plays a part, but the genetic link is a predisposition, not an absolute. Environmental factors seem to play a larger role. In studies of identical twins researchers found that one twin might get AD while the other did not. Outside factors appeared to be determining in which twin the genetic predisposition was being triggered and which not.

People with heart and circulation problems or with type 2 diabetes (usually brought on by being overweight), or who have lower levels of physical and mental activity are more likely to get AD. While heart-healthy, normal weight people who stay mentally and physically active are more likely to avoid AD altogether. Maintaining proper levels of certain B-vitamins in your bloodstream and many other factors seem to work to avoid AD.

Where are we now, while we wait for AD research results? Well, sadly the medical profession can do little more than make AD victims as comfortable as possible while they are dying. The only real alternative available is for each of us to take individual action.

The best bet for Alzheimers prevention is to use wise lifestyle and nutritional choices to put ourselves firmly in the “less likely to contract AD” groups. Fortunately this is relatively easy to do. All you need to do is to inform yourself and get started!
