today I want to give you five interview
tips that will bring you closer to
Landing your dream job saying the right
thing in a job interview won't
necessarily get you the job but it can
help keep your interview on track so you
avoid disaster so here's my top five
list of the best things you should
consider saying in a job interview now
keep in mind my list is more of a
framework or methodology than a bullet
point list of statements or words you
know so here goes number one ask your
interviewer good questions don't just
ask questions for the sake of asking
questions you can look in the complete
interview answer guide on page 99 to
find a complete list of suggested
questions you might want to ask but in
all reality you shouldn't need that list
because if you're interviewing somewhere
and you're really interested in working
there you should have a bunch of
questions that are important to you you
should want to know what you're going to
be responsible for there you should want
to know how you're going to be promoted
how you're going to be managed how
you're going to to be held accountable
these are all questions that you should
have but if you need this list I have it
like I said it's on page 99 in the
complete interview answer guide but
the list is not meant for you to ask
those questions but to give you some
guidelines on how to ask good questions
and and formulate your own I mean it's
important in an interviewer that you ask
meaningful questions because this is
going to show your interviewer that
you're interested in working there and
it's going to help you decide whether
this is a place that you want to spend
your time or not okay moving on here to
number two be flexible no matter what
it's about you know if you're talking
about job duties start dates weekend
hours setting up a date for a second
interview don't be scrolling through
your phone saying well I'm not sure
about this date just say yes just say
yes make their job as easy as possible
don't be difficult though when it comes
time to negotiating salary I mean don't
be a pushover either don't just say yes
but don't be impossible to deal with
either all right let's move on here to
number three use their own words
and what I mean by that is as you read
through the job description become
familiar with the their choice of
industry buzzwords or the language that
they use and then use those same words
or those language that phrases into your
interview you want to weave those words
or their style of language into the
fabric of your conversation so when they
start hearing their own words coming out
of your mouth in the interview they're
going to think and say hey you're one of
us or they're going to feel that they're
going to feel a warmth a draw a pool to
you it can also show that you understand
them and their needs all right number
four
complement them when you don't know
something
um just compliment them and everyone
loves a compliment so if they ask you a
question that you don't know instead of
saying I don't know
um you might want to say hey that's a
good question and then tell them you
know can you give me a minute and you
know you give them an answer I mean do
as much as you can to avoid saying I
don't know now
also don't keep saying that don't don't
say that for every single question I
mean if you don't know half the
questions in the interview you probably
are not going to make it anyways but
this is kind of like a Lifeline thing
that you can say where you compliment
them it's a good question let me think
about that but like I said you can only
do that once or twice it's not going to
keep working for you all right and the
number five
let them know you want the job so few
people do this don't just keep it a
secret I mean most candidates assume the
employer thinks you're interested but
it's important for you to verbally
express your interest in their company
and their products I mean tell them how
you see yourself fitting into their
organization and you know why it means
something to you and you know why you
want to work for them and when you adopt
this methodology or this framework in
your job interviews it humanizes you and
it shows them that you're a real living
breathing person with a mind of your own
with a career or family personal goals
and you're not one of the masses not one
of the countless people who are just
looking for a job and a paycheck but a
real person and when you do this you'll
find that more employers want to hire
you I guarantee it so that's all I have
