General Guidelines
in Answering Interview Questions
Everyone is nervous on interviews. If you simply allow yourself to
feel nervous, you'll do much better. Remember also that it's
difficult for the interviewer as well.
In general, be upbeat and positive. Never be negative.
Rehearse your answers and time them. Never talk for more than 2
minutes straight.
Don't try to memorize answers word for word. Use the answers shown
here as a guide only, and don't be afraid to include your own
thoughts and words. To help you remember key concepts, jot down and
review a few key words for each answer. Rehearse your answers
frequently, and they will come to you naturally in interviews.
As you will read in the accompanying report, the single most
important strategy in interviewing, as in all phases of your job
search, is what we call: "The Greatest Executive Job Finding
Secret." And that is...
Find out what people want, than show them how you can help them get
it.
Find out what an employer wants most in his or her ideal candidate,
then show how you meet those qualifications.
In other words, you must match your abilities, with the needs of the
employer. You must sell what the buyer is buying. To do that, before
you know what to emphasize in your answers, you must find out what
the buyer is buying... what he is looking for. And the best way to do
that is to ask a few questions yourself.
You will see how to bring this off skillfully as you read the first
two questions of this report. But regardless of how you accomplish
it, you must remember this strategy above all: before blurting out
your qualifications, you must get some idea of what the employer
wants most. Once you know what he wants, you can then present your
qualifications as the perfect "key" that fits the "lock" of that
position.
· Other important interview strategies:
· Turn weaknesses into strengths (You'll see how to do this in
a few moments.)
· Think before you answer. A pause to collect your thoughts is
a hallmark of a thoughtful person.
As a daily exercise, practice being more optimistic. For example, try
putting a positive spin on events and situations you would normally
regard as negative. This is not meant to turn you into a Pollyanna,
but to sharpen your selling skills. The best salespeople, as well as
the best liked interview candidates, come off as being naturally
optimistic, "can do" people. You will dramatically raise your level
of attractiveness by daily practicing to be more optimistic.
Be honest...never lie.
Keep an interview diary. Right after each interview note what you did
right, what could have gone a little better, and what steps you
should take next with this contact. Then take those steps. Don't be
like the 95% of humanity who say they will follow up on something,
but never do.
About the 64 questions...
You might feel that the answers to the following questions
are "canned", and that they will seldom match up with the exact way
you are asked the questions in actual interviews. The questions and
answers are designed to be as specific and realistic as possible. But
no preparation can anticipate thousands of possible variations on
these questions. What's important is that you thoroughly familiarize
yourself with the main strategies behind each answer. And it will be
invaluable to you if you commit to memory a few key words that let
you instantly call to mind your best answer to the various questions.
If you do this, and follow the principles of successful interviewing
presented here, you're going to do very well.
Good luck...and good job-hunting!
