Be yourself, gosh that's so important, if you try to be someone else and then they hire you it can make your life miserable
when they ask you about something you would have done better have one to tell them
that I already work for this employer I am just putting in for a transfer to a different position at a different location.
goes back to what she told you last time... have an answer for goals, strengths, weaknesses... don't be cliche... look them in the eye
agrees with ask questions...
ok germaine I have been pondering that one all weekend as well an would like to ask a question to you and al my pleeps. *see my next thread*
be nice and friendly. ask them if they play CS, if they have a 360, if they smoke weed, etc, etc.
um...current employer so they already know you. They should know you are good and ready to move, so say that and they will agree. Good to
reinforce something they already think.
th13rteen: dude, I hope you never attend a job interview with that mentality unless its for high times magazine or something.
remember that this job interview is both ways, you want to make sure they meet your qualifications too. You don't want a dead-end job.
find out why the last person who had this job left, it might be a telling sign of company behavior or give you insight to opportunities
we all want a new job but how many after getting it wish they would have asked more questions before hand.
if you are transferring to a different department knowing what happened to the last person could be a tell as to management style.
that even though this new job may not be his ideal one it is guarenteed to be 10x better than the one he currently has
he wants it more than what he is doing... if it doesn't work out... then he can move on... it's the same employer
I like that question Jane!
I always ask, "what kind of boss would you make?" or "What can I learn from you?"
as an interviewer I always end each interview with "Is there 1 question you wish I would have asked but didn't?"
as an interviewee I always ask "what are the 5 most important challenges you must solve in the next 12 months and how are you doing on them"
that is the best question I have ever heard
janechin and I will use that tommorrow. Thanks for that tidbit of advice
