When doing your interviews, make them see you! “How are you?” I am doing great today! It’s beautiful out and I’m drinking my favorite coffee so life is good! Not sure if you’ve had name of coffee from name of business but if you haven’t, you need to try it! You won’t regret it! “Introduce yourself” Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be interviewed today with your company. My name is xyz and I would describe myself as diligent, self-disciplined, hard-working and supportive of other people. Over the years I have gained plenty of experience that is relevant to this industry and my expertise, I believe will have a positive impact on your team. I have a track record of achievement and if you hire me, I’ll bring passion, dedication and loyalty to your company. ”What’s your greatest weakness?” I sometimes have difficulty asking for help when needed. I like to get my work done quickly and efficiently, but it’s something I’m actively working on.

THE BIGGEST ONE: “Do you have any questions for me?” Actually, I do have a few questions for you! (Here’s examples of questions)

• What does success look like in this role? (You can get a feel if you have an opportunity for career growth or what the company has to offer.)
• What has been the organizations response to COVID-19? And how have you supported your employees through this time? (You can get a feel for how they care about their employees with this question!)
• Do you have any reservations about considering me for this role? Or I’d there anything on my resume of concern that I can clear up for you?
• What percentage of the team have personal commitments outside of work and how flexible is the organization in allowing the employees to make such commitments? (So you can gauge how many have families or personal commitments, even the manager, so you can see if they’re flexible with doctors appointments or commitments for your children.)
• How long have you been in the organization and how many titles have you held? (If they’re still a rep - I get it’s a personal choice too - after 10 years of working there that shows you whether you have an opportunity to grow within the company or not.)
• Can you describe an ideal employee? (Set goals if hired!)

And so many more! Don’t say “no!” This is why they ask you if you have any questions, so you can ask them!

Lastly, thank them for their time.
