5 Questions I Would Ask You:

If you were to call me today regarding your interview skills, I would most likely spend some time asking you some pointed questions. Most times, after our discussion, we would decide together if you were truly prepared for your next interview.
 
Often times job seekers are over confident in their ability to interview. They believe they can just "wing it", put on a sharp suit, and let the resume do the talking. That is a big mistake. Here are a few of the questions, if answered honestly, can help determine if you are truly prepared.
 

Question?
 

-How do you prepare for a job interview?
 I could write a guide on this. Oh, I did.

-How many interviews have you been to in your lifetime?
For most people, its less than 5 -10 in their lifetime.  Its easy to see how your interview skills become rusty.

 
-How did you feel as you walked into your most recent interview?
Most people are nervous. That understandable, its a big opportunity that could change your life. But, with preparation comes confidence. You should walk in prepared and excited to have the opportunity.
 
-How did you feel as you walked out of  your most recent interview?
 Were you relived that it was over or did you feel like your preparation paid off?


-What would you guess is your biggest interview weakness?
Most people tell me they think they talk too much. A lot of people say they get so nervous that they can't think clearly.  A mock interview can verify or debunk your weakness.

-How much are you willing to sacrifice to improve your interview skills?
 Any benefit (a job offer) comes with a sacrifice (preparation). If you are wiling to put in the time to really get prepared, your results will improve.
