Description
For an interviewer, hiring the right candidate is decided by 4 questions
1. “Can you do the job?”
2. “Do we like you?”
3. “Are you a risk?”
4. “Can we work the money out?”
This tutorial reviews many of the toughest interview questions that you will encounter and how to answer them!
This tutorial also instructs a candidate how to deal with difficult “elephants in the room” regarding their experience or background. Being fired... laid off... out of work for an extended period of time... having too many jobs... having too many short stints at jobs... wanting to change careers... re-entering the workforce from retirement, childbirth, divorce, death of a loved one, extended personal illness, having to care for a family member, relocation of a spouse, leaving military service, relocating, being over 50 years old, being a woman, a minority or a foreign-born minority are all discussed in this tutorial. Candidates will learn how to address these situations before they become an issue and even make them positive reasons for an employer to hire them. This is an invaluable tutorial for anyone who imagines these biases are standing in their way.
We will also discuss in detail illegal and inappropriate questions, and how to handle answering these.
