Dear Job Seeker,
If the prospect of your next job interview is
playing on your mind, then this is going to be the most important message you'll read today,
because in the next few paragraphs, I'm going to tell you exactly what
you need to do to make any hiring manager desperate to employ you!
If you've ever walked out of an interview with
your head down and your shoulders up, you’ll know what I'm talking about. It’s
that gut wrenching certainty that you've blown that one shot at your dream job
– the interview.
What went wrong? Your resume matched the job
perfectly, your skills and achievements were second to none but you messed up
so badly on the questions – and why was the hiring manager sitting there with
his arms folded and an expression on his face like you just insulted his mom?
You see, the truth is...in today’s fiercely
competitive job market where every vacancy attracts countless applicants, it is
vital to stay ahead of the competition.
Here why...
Tell me about yourself
The ‘tell me about your self’ interview question
should be expected in most interviews, and it is usually one of the first
questions that the hiring manager will pull out of the bag. It seems like a
fairly informal question, but knowing how to describe yourself in a concise and
positive way will set the tone for the rest of the interview, so don’t drop
your guard!
When answering this question, avoid telling your
life story. What the hiring manager really wants to know is how you feel your
life experience is relevant to the position you have applied for. Before you
attend the interview, have a think about your highest achievements and consider
how you could apply those to the job you are being interviewed for.
Don’t aimlessly chatter away about your hobbies
and interests.
Do include specific achievements from your
past which are relevant to this job. This can include work-place achievements,
educational achievements and relevant out of work activities.
Do pick two or three of your achievements to
talk about. Any more than that is overkill.
Sample response:
‘I belong to a debating society which I attend
in my free time. From this I have learnt very strong negotiating skills which
have served me very well during the last three years working as a Sales
Manager. As a result, I recently won a big contract for my employer which will
ensure our sales targets are exceeded for this financial quarter. While working
for a previous employer, I introduced an innovative sales method which resulted
in my sales team achieving their annual sales targets six weeks before the
deadline and earning the whole team a bonus.
A proven and tested interview system that actually works!
When you get this interview guide, you'll get
much more than just a set of interview questions...
My insider’s guide will take you step by
step through the key stages of interview preparation, from what you need to
know about the company to what you need to know about yourself.
I’ll take you through the research needed to
ensure your success on the day of your interview.
I’ll explain the significance of
telephone interviews and the real reason that employers use them, why a
positive attitude is your most vital asset and how your body language may be
sending out subconscious signals of aggression, anxiety – or both - that will
trip you up before you even crawl to that first hurdle.
I’ll explain why every second counts, not just
from the moment you enter the building but sometimes before you even reach the
parking lot.
"This has been such a great way for me to earn extra money. As a single mother every little bit counts."
"I registered and within one week I was contacted to begin filling out surveys. I filled out my first survey for 20 minutes and got a $20 check in the mail today!"
"I have already taken a few surveys and have already seen my income coming into my pocket. I can't wait to start to do more.".jpg)
