"Interview Tip"

A Question NOT to ask during an Interview!

Can I Apply for Any Other Positions?

While this is a perfectly reasonable question, the interviewer may perceive it as a sign of low confidence or insecurity. It may show that you are indecisive about taking action, which could reflect poorly on your potential.

Instead, study all the possible opportunities available before applying to ensure that you will not have to ask this question at all. This will allow you to be fully prepared for the interview and respond to their questions with confidence. #AWU #disability #jobs #interviewtip

"Interview Tip"

Researching the company your interviewing with should go without saying. However, I want to remind you how important it is.

Never approach a company for an interview or confirmation without researching it. You need to become intimate with their website. Pay special attention to company news, quarterly, and annual reports, and investor information

Look up the company on Glassdoor, LinkedIn, and other forms of social media so you have a better idea of where you're headed. Interacting or contacting current or previous employees can also be helpful because you'll know how to appease the hiring employers. #AWU #disability #jobs #interviewtip

"Interview Question”

Why Do You Want to Work Here?

Hiring managers use this question to try to gauge a candidate's motives for seeking the opportunity. While your primary reason for applying may be financially motivated, this would not be the emphasis to share during the interview.

How to Answer "Why Do You Want to Work Here?"

Think of other reasons you chose to throw your hat in the ring at the specific organization. Maybe you like the company's culture that you read about online, or maybe you've heard from current employees that they love their jobs. If so, spend some time figuring out the best words to use to explain that.

Another good answer could tie back to your career interests. For example, if you're a marketer applying for an entry-level marketing position, you might focus on sharing what it is about the company that makes you feel this would be the right place to develop your career skills in your field. #AWU #disability #Interviewquestions

"Interview Question”

How Did You Find Out About the Position?

The employer is trying to see if one of their marketing methods reached you, or if you found out about the job through some other way.

How to Answer "How Did You Find Out About the Position?" Whether you learned of the opening from a colleague, online or through a job ad, share the method with the interviewer. You may get brownie points if you happened to have learned about the job from the company's website. If you took extra time to learn about the organization while applying, be sure to mention it. #AWU #disability #Interviewquestions

"Tell Me About Yourself?

While this may sound like an open-ended question that you can answer however you like, don't let its simplicity fool you into disclosures that are too casual and personal. The interviewer is trying to get a sense of what kind of person you are and what you value to determine your level of professionalism and how well you would fit on the team.

How to Answer "Tell Me About Yourself" You might start by focusing on who you are as a professional, since this is a job interview, after all. Tell a bit about your educational and career background and some key facts about your job history. While it's OK (and perhaps expected) to share something that's a little bit personal and unique to you, be careful about what exactly you reveal here. Think in terms of sharing one of your key hobbies or interests outside of work – for example, playing volleyball, cooking or volunteering. Be cautious about revealing details about your age or family status that some employers may be unintentionally biased against. #AWU #disability #Interviewquestions
