Things to know for an interview.
1. Have one hilariously clean joke. You never can tell when your perspective employer will ask you to tell him a joke as an ointerview question. Happened to me.
2. If you are being interviewed, if your new boss is going to be there, ask him the following: “what is it about the job that keeps you up at night?” He will tell you 100 things which will create new questions and it gives you the opportunity to sell yourself.
3. For the weakness question, I go with, “lactose intolerance.” I always use a situation in which I overcame some adversity and how I learned from that. It also takes care of “what is the most difficult situation you have been in?
4. Always ask up front if you can ask questions during the interview rather than waiting for the end. Worst thing is having everything discussed during the interview and when you are asked if you have any questions, you have none. Be Interactive!
5. Don’t take notes. Be visual and auditory. If you have to write something down, you are not paying attention.
6. If you are in a group interview, as much as you want to address the boss, address the rest of the team. They are the ones who are going to tell the boss whether they feel you will fit in.
7. Finally, get a book on NLP. Learn how to build rapport. 90% of the interview takes place at the handshake and the first words out of your mouth. If you hit it off right off the bat, you are in good shape.
Hope this helps
You got that right.
I can tell if I'm *NOT* going to hire someone in the first 30 seconds of an interview.
Do I want to hire them? That's a harder question. But the very first bit is the key, always.
“get a book on NLP”
The only issue with NLP is that the Dem’s use such techniques to push agendas on the weak and foolish that are destroying this country. Car Dealers and most politicians use that crap!
