achieve that goal, this is what I will cover. I'm going to give you a list of FINAL JOB

at all costs. Make sure you pay attention to those when I get to them. And I will also
tell you about FURTHER RESOURCES you can get access to, including these slides to help

below and I will try to give you some more tips based on your specific job role. Let's
start working through some final job interview questions, some tips and some top-scoring
answers, and then we'll move on to those six red flags. Now, of course, at a final job
interview, the questions are going to be different from the ones that have been previously asked.
And I'm going to give you a number of them now, which are very common during final job
interviews. And the first one is: Now you know more about the position, tell me what
you plan to do during the first month of starting? In your answer, show the interview you already
have a PLAN IN PLACE of what you are going to do when you start in the role. Here's a
great answer to help you. Let me just reaffirm that question… Now know more about the position,
tell me what you plan to do during the first month of starting? Here we go. “During the
first month I would concentrate on four specific areas. Number one, I would obtain a thorough
and clear brief from my senior manager to find out what he or she needs me to concentrate
on in the position, the standards expected and the direction in which the company is
headed. This would be important for me as the information I received will set the foundations
for a productive start in the role. Number two, I would get to know my work colleagues.
I would introduce myself to the team; I would find out what projects and tasks they are
all working on, and I would determine how I could assist them in the completion of their
work. Number three, I would read up on company policies and procedures so the work I carry
out is safe, it is compliant, and it is in line with company expectations and procedures.
Finally, number four, I would choose a project or task to work on in addition to my normal
duties. I would then complete the project to a high standard within the first four weeks
to show you the type of work I am capable of and how I intend to continue making a positive
difference to the organization in this role.” What I like about that answer is you will
be the only person at the final interview who talks about four things you are going
to do once you're in the position. Everybody else will just give one thing and they will
say, “I'll work to high standards. I will show you what I can do in the role.” That
response there is brilliant! It’s in-depth. And you are showing that you are PASSIONATE
and ENTHUSIASTIC about this role. You can either pause the video if you want to and
take a note of the questions and answers as I progress. Or if you wait, I will tell you
we can download my full set of Final Job Interview Questions and Answers, including the ones
we are working through right now. But here's the next question. How do you plan to grow
with our company, and where do you see yourself in five years from now? Now, this is a tough
question to answer. There are two elements to it. And in your answer, make sure you talk
about your own DEVELOPMENT PLAN and how this fits into their organizational growth. Here
is my suggested answer. The question is, again, how do you plan to grow with our company and
where do you see yourself in five years from now? Here we go. “I aim to grow with your
company in a few different ways. The first is to make sure I dedicate time to my own
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. By dedicating a small amount of time each week to identifying
emerging trends and understanding what is going on right now in the industry, I can
help the organization increase market share. The second way is to ensure I have a DEVELOPMENT
PLAN in place. I will seek feedback from senior managers, and I will learn from other people
within my team and the organization. The third way is to make sure I NETWORK IN ORDER TO
BUILD POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS with stakeholders and clients and I will seek to have a mentor
within the organization who I can shadow on occasions to help me grow as the organization
grows. In five years’ time I plan to be a trusted, reliable and integral member of
the company who is viewed as a hard worker and a productive contributor to the organization’s
objectives.” Again, a brilliant answer. It is in-depth and you are showing that you
really, really want this job, which is very important during a final interview. Now, don't
go anywhere because I still have more questions and answers to run through. (And those six
red flags.) But when you're ready, if you want to CLICK THAT LINK in the top right-hand

my full set of 21 Final Job Interview Questions And Top Scoring Answers, including the ones
we are working through today. The next question. What would make you want to quit in your first
month of working here? Now, this final interview question is rather cleverly assessing how
much RESEARCH you have carried out, because if you have researched the job and the company
sufficiently, nothing will make you want to quit. Now, a lot of people would give a few
reasons why they may quit, and they would say… “Well, if it wasn't the role I expected
or if I didn't get on with somebody, I might quit.” That is not what we want to be saying.
Here's how to answer this question. “To be truthful, nothing would make we want to
quit because I have researched the role and your organization in enough detail to know
what to expect. Furthermore, I feel confident in my abilities; I tend to get on very well
with people and I never sit still in my work. This means I will always find productive things
to do and I genuinely believe it’s up to me to make the job satisfying and challenging.
I already have a plan in place of what I will do when I start, so I certainly won’t be
quitting.” That is the exact way to answer that common final job interview. Next question.
The next one. What are your interests outside of work? This seems like a perfectly innocent
question to ask. And of course, an easy one to answer. However, the interviewer is assessing
what you get up to outside of work as this can affect your performance whilst you are
in the position. Here's my suggested answer. What are your interests outside of work? “I
have lots of interests outside of work that help keep my mind and body active. I enjoy
walking most evenings which helps me to maintain a positive mindset. I visit the gym a few
times a week, and whilst I am not obsessed about fitness, it does enable me to maintain
concentration levels whilst I am at work. I am a family person, which means I have a
stable environment outside of work and my family help me to switch off and reenergize,
which I think is important. Finally, I like to read both fiction and self-developments
books. I always have a book on the go, and this helps me to continually broaden and improve
my knowledge which again is something that is important to both my personal and professional
development.” Now, you can see in that answer that I am cleverly giving things that I get
up to outside of work that would be of BENEFIT to an organization. And I am talking about
how my mindset is positive. I have a stable environment outside of work, which all serves
to help me perform well whilst I am working for their organization. The next final job
interview question. This is a tough one. What salary are you looking for? So, this is another
tricky interview question to answer. Whilst there is no right or wrong way to respond
to it, we need to be RESPECTFUL and we need to explain WHY we are asking for our preferred
salary. Here's my suggested answer. What salary are you looking for? “I considered the salary
carefully before coming along to the final interview. I conducted some research into
the average salary for this position within this industry, and it came out between $43,000
and $52,000. Whist I genuinely believe I am worth the higher salary range; I fully understand
you do not know me, and I have a responsibility to prove to you my worth. On that basis, I
would be happy with a salary of $48,500 and feel at that amount you will see a positive
return on your investment if you choose to hire me.” That is a clever way to answer
the, what is your salary interview question. I have put there a salary of 43,000 to 52,000.
Of course, you would need to change it based on your own research for the role that you
are applying for. And you'll see there that I have chosen a range, which is well over
the middle average, but it's below the top end as well. And I am explaining there, WHY
I am asking for that salary, so I'm being RESPECTFUL as well. That's a great answer.
Let's have a look at those six red flags. Avoid these red flags. What do interviews
look for during the final interview? Well, there are six red flags interviews and hiring
managers look for during the final job interview. Here they are. The first one is a LACK OF
PASSION AND ENTHUSIASM for the role. Don't take it as a formality, you going along to
the final job interview. You should be enthusiastic and passionate. And you'll notice in all of
the answers I've given you so far, I am providing in-depth responses and I really want this
job. I'm not being desperate. I really, really want this job. And that's important. Number
two, don't talk about OTHER JOB OFFERS. If you have any on the table, do not talk about
them at all. Number three, DON'T ASK FOR TOO HIGH A SALARY. You noticed the way that I
negotiated in that previous answer… that is respectful to them and that's important.
Number four, make sure you DRESS APPROPRIATELY for the interview. OK. Don't take it as a
formality. Number five. Don't treat the final interview as a FORMALITY. Don't think: “I've
got this job, it's just a final interview!” There will probably be more people along that
interview as well. The final interview is to decide which person they really want. So,
of course, there may be two, three, four or five people in total at the final interview,
and you still need to perform. Don't treat it as a formality. Take it seriously. Number
six, people who DON'T ASK QUESTIONS at the end of the final interview are not showing
that they are keen and enthusiastic. Make sure you ask serious and intelligent questions.
