Job Interview Guide

The landscape for job seekers today is more treacherous than at any time in recent memory. If you want a job today, you may actually have to work for it.

“Now, Do You Have Any Questions for us?”

There are great questions and dumb questions and, worst of all, no questions at all.

The interviewer’s last question is frequently the most important one. That’s when the interviewer smiles and says: “Now, do you have questions for us?” Your response at this point often determines if you continue as a job seeker or transform into a job getter.

Every job, interview, if the job seeker is lucky, gets to this stage of the job interview. What you do now controls whether or not you get an offer. The resume gets you in the door, but whether you leave as a job seeker or employee depends on how you conduct yourself during the interview.

Interviewers seem to have favorite questions that they always ask every job candidate. The best way to impress interviewers is to have thought about the question and prepared to answer it in advance.

Some of these questions will also be asked while networking or just talking with family and friends.

Smart job seekers prepare in advance for those questions so they can answer them effectively, impressing the listener and moving closer to a job offer. Some people find it helpful to write out their answers. Others just make notes. Which ever method you choose, take the time to prepare.

If you can, have a friend or family member ask you the questions, and then answer them without looking at your notes. Or, practice in front of a mirror. Whatever works best for you.

Be calm and confident for your interview.

To your success!
