This is actually somewhat of a trick question. The temptation is to talk about yourself personally, but with the recruiter is really looking for is tell me about your experience and your education and how it relates to this job that you&#8217;re being interviewed for.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><strong style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Question number two<\/strong><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span>on strengths and weaknesses. It&#8217;s easy to stress what your strengths are, but you should really give an example, and when you mention your weakness, don&#8217;t just leave your weakness hanging there; make sure you tell the recruiter how you have overcome that weakness. What are you doing to mitigate that weakness? If you do not do that they&#8217;re going to think you still have it, and you may not get the job.<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><strong style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">Question number three:<\/strong>&nbsp;Why should we hire you? Not only should you describe what might set you apart from the other candidates, but this is a great opportunity to demonstrate what you know about the company, and why you would want to work for that company. This is where you can show that your mission and vision, is the same as there&#8217;s.<\/li>\n<li style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><strong style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">FINALLY,&nbsp;<\/strong>Remember<span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><strong style=\"font-weight: bold; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">the goal of answering interview questions is NOT just answering the question,<span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><em style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">it is selling yourself!<\/em><span style=\"cursor: auto; color: inherit;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong>Every answer should include some additional information about you and what you have to offset&#8217;s that you want them to know, and that will raise their interest in you! &nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"margin: 12px 0px; cursor: auto; color: inherit;\"><\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>START Discussion Post #3 \u201cCareer Planning, Job Search &amp; Interview Skills\u201d- COMPLETE THIS BEFORE WRITING YOUR Resume NOTE: Please do this assignment BEFORE you write your resume.
