The big interview

 

 

The is nothing as nerve wrecking like a job interview, you are required to prepare possible questions while at it you must figure out how to answer those questions by yourself, there are lot of dos and don’ts involved but the truth of the matter is that the is no right or wrong answer during a job interview session.

Interviews are meant to assess the potential of a candidate and to check their knowledge about a particular field of work or responsibility.

I was invited for a job interview in a certain company for a position of an Editorial Specialist and the questions that where asked during that interview were way different from what I have previously prepared.

I was expecting something like “tell us about yourself, what are your strengths and weaknesses” but things went south and at this point I was frustrated because my preparations have been blown out.

I had to stand on my toes and come up with a contingency plan to cover up for the blown plan, I completely felt like a Central Intelligence Agency`s (CIA) agent whose cover has been blown.

The way in which I attempted to answer their diffi- ‘cult’ questions was that everything I said was in line with the duties and responsibilities of position.

It’s a traumatic situation I know but try not to over impress the interviewer because that shows desperation, just be calm and answer to your best of ability and remember that they are not looking for correct answers but they are in quest for a potential candidate.

So! in your next interview work much on the responsibilities of the job that putting time on trying to figure out who you are because your CV has all that.
