TELL ME ABOUT A SUGGESTION YOU HAVE MADE - Have a good one ready. Be sure and use a suggestion that was accepted and was then considered successful. One related to the type of work applied for is a real plus. / WHAT IRRITATES YOU ABOUT CO-WORKERS? - This is a trap question. Think real hard but fail to come up with anything that irritates you. A short statement that you seem to get along with folks is great. / WHAT IS YOUR GREATEST STRENGTH? - Numerous answers are good, just stay positive. A few good examples: Your ability to prioritise, your problem-solving skills, your ability to work under pressure, your ability to focus on projects, your professional expertise, your leadership skills, and your positive attitude.

3 Interview Questions (3)

I've used a voice-to-text transcription for you (it may not be grammatically correct). I hope you enjoy reading and listening, enjoy :)

Hi, I'm Anatoly here and today I'd like to talk about vague language in an interview. 

So what is vague language? 

When you're trying to communicate something to an interviewer and you use vague terms like I'd like to help the company achieve its goals, I like this industry overall. Or this position is very exciting. 

Can you hear that there's no specificity when it comes to showing exactly that you've thought about an issue, showing the recruiter that you've gone through their website, you've looked at their products, you've considered their mission and vision and maybe you've seen their market share or the size of the company or if you've dug a little deeper. 

Maybe you've seen some reviews from people who work there, like on Glassdoor, right? 

Because you want to come into an interview from the perspective of being an employee. What does that mean? It's knowing enough so that when they're communicating with you, they feel like you're one of them.

And when they feel that you are one of them, what happens? They start to, well, it starts to diminish the doubt in them or they start to have less and less doubt about you because they are like, well, he or she is one of us. They communicate as if they know exactly who we are or they use the vocabulary that we use or they are aligned with our mission.

Enjoy the rest of the podcast and let me know how valuable it is to you.
