What does strong commercial acumen mean?

The term strong commercial acumen is an attribute you will commonly see listed in job ads. An alternative term you'll see in job ads, which means the same thing, is 'business acumen'.

Typically an employer will need this attribute in job candidates where they have a responsibility to manage money or budgets, do buying, selling or negotiating where there is a financial impact on the organisation and/or its clients.

Basically to have financial or business acumen means you will understand financial concepts such as profit and loss, cash flow, profit and loss, income and expenditure, gross and net margin and so on. To have business acumen also means that because of your knowledge of these types of financial concepts you will be in a position to assess financial risks, and the financial impact of actions that either you might take, or, if you are in a leadership position, the financial impact of the actions of people for whom you are responsible.

What is the best source of job leads?

Answer

Being organized and spending time on the job search can make finding a job faster. Depending on your occupation and experience, finding your job of choice can take 4 to 6 months. Write a good resume, try to make 10 to 15 contacts a day, follow up on interviews and network with everyone to let them know you are looking. If you want a survival job until you find what you would like, you can obtain those faster. Working in department stores, substituting in schools, fast food, working for temporary agencies, etc. will help you pay basic expenses while keeping you "out there." Doing a job like these, even if you never have done them before can be fun as well as giving you insight into other businesses than you would usually get. Also, many states have employment centers where you can access classes in job searching, computers, research materials and a good online website for openings.

How do you answer the question why you left your last job?

"Why did you leave your last job?" You should always address an interview question with honesty. However, you should also always try to frame your honest answer in the most positive way possible. For example, if you felt underappreciated and underpaid at your last job, instead of ranting about your overbearing boss and underappreciative corporation, you might say that your prior work didn't allow you to grow professionally or intellectually and didn't offer advancement opportunity. Always keep in mind that your interviewer is looking for a positive, motivated, hardworking candidate. No potential employer wants to hear your gripe about a prior boss or talk poorly about a previous employer. She or he wants to hear about your potential as a superstar at the position you are seeking.
