<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

One of our candidates was eliminated because he was asked this question…in a phone interview, no less…He said, “I guess I don’t …you have told me everything I need to know.” <\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Oh, my…not good…first of all, always<\/font><\/em> have decent, intelligent questions about an opportunity…if you can’t really think of any…and you can if you try…ask the interviewing authority about themselves…”tell me, why do you like it here at\u00a0ABC<\/font><\/em> Corp.?”…” I have heard a lot about you and your success here, how have you done it?” <\/font><\/font>If you can’t think of any business questions…ask them about their favorite subject….themselves! <\/strong><\/font><\/em><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

<\/font><\/p>\n

Secondly, an interviewing authority doesn’t care about what you <\/font><\/em>need to know…they care about what they need to know…so keep that phrase out of the conversation…So you say, “Damn that is really picky!”…you are right…it is…even unfair…what is even more sad about this particular situation, is that our candidate was exceptionally qualified…a top performer…<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In this market, where companies and the hiring authorities in them think\u00a0that there are hoards of quality candidates available… (There are hoards…but not necessarily qualified)… you have to interview almost perfectly…Every interview guide and coach teaches you to have one or two questions to ask…our candidate had been one of our client’s top competitors…he could have had a dozen questions…He thought he had done so well on the interview that he didn’t have to ask any questions…very sad<\/font><\/font><\/p>\n
