Answer Interview Questions

Note: Some suggested I write shorter blogs and post them more frequently. I will try that beginning today.
Decision makers, or hiring authorities, use interview questions to determine three things. Will you…

1. Do the job they want done
2. Fit into their work/project team or organization
3. Provide a good return on investment

Your answers should resolve those concerns without raising any additional doubts.
You answer any interview questions with one of four types of answers:

• Home run statements to illustrate results delivered to others
• Dessert trays to describe who you are and what you offer the company
• Reframe their thinking about weaknesses
• Ask questions to gather more information before giving an inadequate answer

Once you know how to classify questions quickly, you can identify the best answer.
We will discuss each of these four types of answers over the next four blogs.
Please let me know your thoughts about shorter blogs covering the same amount of information through more posts.
I will now post LarryonCareers on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
