Trying to STAND OUT in an interview?
The best way I know of to stand out in an interview is this:
Ask questions that will be remembered.
It doesn’t matter whether you ask or if you’re being asked — for example in a job interview or on a date — as long as they’re questions that will be remembered by either party. This is not a way or method known to ever have failed yet to stand out in an interview
How about you? Do you know of better way(s) or method(s) to stand out in an interview? That’s what the comments section is for — thanks for letting me know.
The questions that will be remembered, hence will make you stand out in any interview, are the following:
- Please tell me who you are.
+ What you’re up to these days?
+ Where online can I connect with you? - What was it like around your family dinner table?
+ Were there topics you did and didn’t talk about?
+ Why? - Are there key events that have shaped your life?
+ What would you have done differently had you known then what you know now?
+ What happened? - What do you think are the key traits that separate the many from the few?
- What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?
+ In your work?
+ In your personal life? - Everything you know is a word.
+ Do you agree?
+ What is your favorite word?
+ Your least favorite word? - What strategies or tools do you use for getting things done?
+ Where, when, how do you get your best work done? - What or who are your biggest influences?
- Who inspires you most to do what you’re doing now?
- What’s next for you?
- What’s your best advice for handling criticism?
- A quote that is meaningful to you?
- Movies, books, or authors you read or recommend?
