End the interview

Jeff Altman, Big Game Hunter

Most job interviews follow a fairly predictable pattern.

They start with a question with a public ending like “Tell me and what professional you’ve been doing”, designed to let you provide an overview of your experience to the interviewer, which is asked to determine if you have enough experience to do the job and concluded: “You have any questions about us, where are you asking them to tell you about the job.

If you don’t know my philosophy “the best questions you should ask in any interview”, I want you to understand the work first, and then they even ask you to tell them about your experience so that you can find your current thinking and position your answers to what they care about in their experience.

However, when they arrive at the question they ask you, this leaves you a hole. I asked many possible questions: “You shouldn’t ask any BS questions in any interview, but there is a new question I’ll add in the next edition the report I want to give to the readers.

So when you are asked the first question, I want you to ask is:

(name of the interviewer), we have been talking about my background for a while. Have you heard of any recommendations for characters that you are reluctant to recommend to me now? ”

Ask this question or similar language so you can comfortably give you the opportunity to meet the interviewer in case they miss something you can talk to. It also never allows you to step out of the interview and have a wrong impression of the interviewer’s perception of you and your experience

From there, ask how you stack with the others they interviewed. Again, this can help you talk to the experience elements found in the interview through the opportunity to help you come up with a better case to your potential employer.

Sometimes people are shocked by the objections they hear and do not do thoroughly work to completely dispel the negatives they hear. Use your thank you letter to talk to the experience elements that need to be highlighted.

You will see that most of the letters thank you are harmless and what they say:

“Thank you for taking the time to meet me on January 12 and discussing the opportunity for the XXX position.

“I believe that my experience in A and my 4 years of experience in B will provide you with great service.

“I look forward to the next step in your message.

Now instead of using this harmless description, modify the second paragraph so that:

“When we met, we briefly discussed my qualifications, and it was about the people I competed for in this role.

“What I haven’t discussed so far is my three years of experience doing this and three years of experience doing this – and then you discuss exactly what you’ve done with the concerns you express, the objections to your candidacy or the perceived superiority of your competitors.

Email this “Thank you for Sales” as soon as possible to influence the employer’s thinking before you can make your candidacy so strong that the notes become purposeless.
