Questions You may ask employers

You MUST ASK ATLEAST 1 - 2 during interview

Sample:

• What significant changes do you foresee in the near future?

• What would you like done differently by the next person who fills this position?

• I looked at your website yesterday researching your company and I most say your website is fantastic. It did explain a lot about your company.. But I was just wondering In what ways has the company been most successful in terms of products and services over the years?

By practicing your responses to some of these questions, hopefully you will not be taken off guard if asked one of them. Most importantly, relax, go with the flow, and before you know it, you’ll be in your next opportunity!

The Phone Interview

The Phone Interview

Preparation

1. Place a “Do not Disturb” note on your door2. Turn off your stereo, TV, and any other potential

Distraction3. Warm up your voice while waiting for the call 4. Have a glass of water handy, since you will not have

a chance to take a break during the call5. Speaking of breaks, if your phone interview is at a

set time, make sure you answer “nature’s call” first6. Turn off call waiting on the phone

The Phone Interview

The Secret

A major advantage one has during the phone interview is not being seen and we must use this to our advantage.

Have all materials on ourselves and employers in front of us on the desk while speaking on the phone and not just our resume, but a “cheat sheet” about compelling stories, accomplishments, and topics one would like to bring up.

This portrays a well-informed, well-prepared interviewee. Keep in mind that this preparation is not “cheating” at all. It is preparation, pure and simple.

So have Materials open and available when preparing for a phone interview. They are there to support and enhance your value to the employer who will greatly respect your ability to answer questions with focus and meaningful content

The Phone Interview

The Secret – STAND UP.

A simple technique to increase the enthusiasm and positiveimage that you project over the telephone is to simply stand up

Whenever you are talking with a potential employer on the phone stand up, it gets the blood flowing, improves posture, and improves your response time

An interesting note that many telemarketing companies realized that standing up actually improves sales. So often these companies provide there employees with hands-free headsets that allow them to stand and pace back and forth. It gives an action perspective to an otherwise passive activity

The Phone Interview

The Secret – With Mirror.

In preparing for a telephone interview, make sure that thereis a mirror within view.

Why? Because looking in the mirror consistently throughout the conversation will improve your telephone presence 110%. Just smiling will make one come off much friendlier, more interested, and more alert.

The mirror gives us instant feedback necessary to make instant modification toward a more positive presence.

Remember we’re standing, so a wall mirror usually works best!
