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.
