Hey everybody Don Georgevich here with job
interview tools today I want to talk to
you about the question what did you
think about your last employer so on any
job interview that they're going to ask
you questions about your last job
there's no doubt about that but this
question is a bit of a trick question if
you think about it what did you think
about your last employer what they're
really asking is what did you like and
what did you dislike so why don't they
just ask you that well I'll tell you
they want to see where you're going to
lead if you're going to lead with a
positive or a negative a lot of job
candidates when there has this question
they'll lead with a negative and they'll
say because that's what's on their mind
the only reason they're leaving the last
job is there's something that they
didn't like about it so when you ask
them you know would you think about your
last employer then I think well you know
I didn't really like working there I
didn't like the people I didn't like the
staff a didn't like what we were doing
we were run out of money I didn't like I
didn't like I didn't like you just made
the biggest mistake you possibly could
so when they asked you you know what do
you think about your last employer look
in the C word you go positive or
negative I would suggest you leave with
the positive say something good about
the company that you worked at talk
about the people say you know what um
one of the things I really liked about
the company was the people that I worked
with my colleagues they were just the
best I'm sorry that I'm gonna be moving
on I'm going to miss them dearly but
that's one of the things I love the most
about them is the people there the
culture is just a wonderful place now
obviously you know say that you know if
it's true pick something that's true I'm
just giving you some examples here but
I'm telling you which way to lead don't
lead with the negative lead with the
positive when they ask you you know what
did you think about your last job or
what do you think about your boss or
what did you think about your colleagues
the testing you so lead with positives
say something nice about your company it
might be hard but I'm sure there's
something nice about your last job that
you enjoyed I mean maybe maybe your boss
was mean to you that's fine don't go
there pick something else say you know
I like the people I like the company I
like the mission you know whatever it
was I liked what we did maybe a
humanitarian company or maybe you're an
environmental company I like I like the
company because you know we help save
the earth or we help make a green earth
you know whatever it was lead what
positive and if they ask you something
you know what didn't you like
you know then try to pick something that
you didn't like but don't don't lead
with you know the people or the company
your boss lead with some other things
that maybe you didn't care for that
didn't resonate with you as well
now I'll tell you another reason they're
asking you you know what you liked and
what you disliked is they want to see
what you didn't like so they could see
so they can evaluate you against this
company like if there was something that
it's your old job you didn't like doing
and in this new job you'd have to do the
same thing well obviously there's an
immediate mismatch between you and your
employer so it wouldn't make sense for
them to even continue the interview if
there were some things you didn't like
about your last job and you'd have to do
those here now they're also fishing for
what you did like and what they'd like
to do is find out what you liked in your
old job and then offer you more of that
in this current job because obviously
that's gonna make you happier you're
gonna be a happy worker you're gonna
enjoy your work there and you're gonna
help that company grow in a positive way
all right you got it so before your next
interview and they asked you you know
what did you think about your last
company or your colleagues whatever lead
with a positive first if they fish for a
negative throw them out throw them a
bone but don't don't throw the people or
the company under the bus all right
