RE: Ten things that I wish I can tell applicants during their interview

in #employment6 years ago

Yeah, those conversations I had actually made me wonder if I have been that bad during those times when I was on the other side of the interview and did not make it to the job offer. Maybe even worse than those I interviewed.

That Art of War sounds interesting but...

Maybe I'll look somewhere else later.

I heard about the 2-minute speech and referred to as elevator speech but I never had mine. I once had the exercise in a workshop and I felt it being too scripted thus fake. Anyway, I guess it works for many. It is still a skill that I am learning to make that speech.

yes, it is.

We all should have one for each of our endeavors because in preparing one, it forces you to focus and not ramble in its delivery.

It will if you have not done the soul searching - it should not be canned and will not be if you have done the work. And, besides - it must be updated as you grow.

Once you have mastered the technique - it can be applied to any project or proposal.

I have other interviewing tips that I have learned.

Yes, I guess I haven't really focused enough about that elevator speech. And for some reasons, I have a lot of excuses for that. 😃

Maybe you also want to write about your tips...

It's not about the speech; it's the process that is much more valuable and widely applicable to all your projects!

The book is not available?

This is an ancient book and even the translated books are very old or ancient!

So, look in libraries or resale places for really cheap or just ask around - someone might have one from a long time ago in the garage or attic.

There are book stores here that sell hand-me-down items but you just have to dig through the piles when looking for something. Maybe I'll give it a try sometime and cross my fingers to find that art of war.

Have you read my (@team-ccc) notice? I have reduced SP delegation and will undelegate the SP to you. I'll be sending out STEEM or DEC instead for a number of reasons - please see "post promotion" using DEC - I'll let the author promote his/her own post(s) with the STEEM or DEC as s/he chooses, to avoid confusion or duplication, and instead of me or @team-ccc upvoting which will become symbolic from now on.

No, I haven't read your notice through team ccc but I noticed that you indeed took the delegation back. That is okay, no worries. I will support anything for the betterment of the account. Thanks for the delegation during those times!

What's DEC? Something I may need to learn...

It's explained in detail in today's post - everything.

DEC earned from SP will be distributed to all members instead of upvotes - explained in detail.
