50 life hacks for a successful interview
1. Have a successful phone interview
The very first call of a recruiter is not just a call, this is the first and most real interview. Already here you must shine:
A smile in his voice.
Find a quiet place right away.
Repeat the name of the recruiter during communication 3-5 times, so as not to forget.
Be prepared to talk about the reasons for looking for a new job (further development, exhausted all possibilities, wife goes on maternity leave - decide).
How much money do you want to receive.
Will you be able to come for an interview at the indicated time (if you are not ready to come for an interview within three days, the recruiter will find someone who will be ready).
2. Take a written interview
The battle must be won before the battle. You do not have the right to interview without preparation. Your preparation is written, I emphasize, written answers to the questions that the recruiter will ask.
Here is a list of questions that need to be answered in writing:
Which of all your work achievements is the most outstanding? Now could you come back at that time and tell me everything about it?
What were the three or four most important difficulties that had to be overcome?
What was the result?
When did this happen and in which company?
How long did it take to solve the problem?
What situation did you encounter when you started this project?
Why exactly did you do this? Have you taken the initiative? Why?
What was your position? Who worked with you on the task?
What technical skills were needed to complete the task? What skills did you gain by completing the task?
Describe the planning process, your role in this, and how the plan was adopted. Describe what went wrong and how you solved it.
What was your role in this project?
Give three examples when you took the initiative. Why?
What was the biggest change or improvement?
What was the hardest decision you had to make? How did you take it? Was this the right decision? Would you change it if you could?
Describe the environment - resources, your leader, level of professionalism.
What is the biggest conflict you have encountered? Who was he with and how did you decide?
Give examples when you helped someone or were a mentor.
Give examples where you really influenced others or forced others to change their minds.
How has your personality changed or grown as a result of solving the problem?
What did you like the most and least?
What would you do differently now if you could?
What type of recognition did you receive for the project?
Was it suitable in your opinion? Why yes or no?
These questions were described in his book by the best author for recruiters, Lou Adler. By answering them, you will be 80% ready for the interview.
