Interview question tell me about yourself?
There is a company that I interviewed with and they passed me up. Now the company is reposting the job again. It appears that they have not found the correct candidate Would it be wrong to resubmit my resume to the company for another interview? Or should I just I just correct about it? and disregard?
This may sound weird but hear me out. I have an interview coming up for a role that I have a strong suspicion is not a good fit for me. So I figure this is a good opportunity to try out some things that I’ve never been brave enough to do before. E.g. try to prioritize making personal connection over demonstrating the fit. I’m looking for more ideas though. Do you have any suggestions or questions that I can try? Happy to report back with results!
Do you keep track of all your applications, or are you submitting too many to count? Any idea what your interview "hit rate" is? I used to track more, but it's impossible to check your status on so many platforms, it doesn't always seem worth it.
Hey folks -- what’s a subtle interview red flag people should pay more attention to that most candidates ignore at first? I’ll start: - The interviewer constantly interrupts or seems distracted the whole time. - Nobody can clearly explain what the role actually involves day to day. - They dodge questions about turnover, onboarding, or why the role is open. - The interview feels weirdly adversarial for no reason. Anything else that comes to mind?
Ever go into an interview wanting the job on paper but realize they really wanted a check the box person not one who wants to do real change or improvement?
I'm broke I'm hungry I need this job can I have it?
This is one example of how you should NOT answer this interview question
I summarize my resume, highlighting important details and expanding on anything particularly relevant to the position. I basically tell a story about the things I accomplished in my career and why I am their best candidate.
I talk about my priorities in my work, what work means to me (not as it relates to $), and why those things seem to be a good fit for their organization.
Am tall , sexy , ambitious, go getter , .. " did you read my resume it details alot about me in summary. Lol 🤣
They have already read your resume/ know who you are professionally. Yourself should be more than your job. Your hobbies interests goals?
Don't assume they've read my resume. Most people only give it a quick scan. I think it is worth it to walk through some of the high points of your resume. I'd only mention hobbies if they present you as someone interesting or particularly driven. E.g. "I just hiked my 3rd 14,000ft peak" helps you sound dedicated. But, "I make costumes for my dog" just sounds weird.
I think this question is mostly looking for more personal information. I usually mention hobbies and my background growing up in a Latino household. It shows the interviewer I'm not a robot trying to sell my resume, but a human being trying to connect, has worked so far.
Here is What I would say If I was asked that question in the interview My name is Amparo Lara and I'm 21 years old and I attend New Endeavors Transition- a work training program
