“Interview Question”
What Do You Find the Most Stressful About This Type of Role? This is another potential minefield that you should answer with care, rather than off the cuff. Interviewers are looking for examples that suggest you handle stress well. Your goal is to show that you do know how to manage stressful situations with grace.
How to Answer "What Do You Find the Most Stressful About This Type of Role?" A winning response might be: “It’s true that this role can be stressful, and I’ve certainly dealt with my share of it in previous positions. If I had to say what the biggest stressor is, I’d pinpoint timing issues. I’m a stickler for meeting deadlines and delivering to my team what I say I will – so when it comes to crunch time, I feel the pressure until I’ve crossed the finish line.” #AWU #disability #Interviewquestions

“Interview Question”
What Kind of Impact Do You Hope to Have in Your Next Role?
Hiring teams want to know what candidates can do for them, and this impact question gives you the perfect opportunity to impress them with your drive.
How to Answer "What Kind of Impact Do You Hope to Have in Your Next Role?" The specific type of impact you emphasize will depend on the specific industry or job you’re applying to. But in general, you can stress that you want to build on the skills you bring to the table and that you hope to leverage your experience from your last position to help the company achieve its goals.
For example: “One of my biggest goals that I plan to achieve with my next employer is to take all of my learnings from my career to date to create something big. The first part of my career has been about understanding as much as I can about the industry, and now I finally feel like I’m in the perfect place to have a significant impact in whatever key projects I’m working on.” #AWU #disability #Interviewquestions

"Interview Tip"
An Interview Don’t!
Reading out your CV
Don’t answer the interviewer’s questions by simply regurgitating what you've written on your CV, as it can sound awkward and forced.
It is your history, your life. Be prepared to discuss every skill, bullet point, past relevant job, and anything else in a professional conversation. Also, remember that interviewers want to know about the end result and the part you played in it. They can read. It is up to you to tell a compelling story. #AWU ##disability #jobs #interviewtips
