Trish Sadar's insight:

Hey everyone,

First of all, just wanted to tell you how honored I am to be part of this this wonderful community!

Over the last year it has been great to talk with many of you through the blog, over the phone or through email.

I am putting together a course to help people with their careers, networking, resumes, and interviewing. I want to make sure that I really cover everything. (Or atleast what is most important)

So can you help me out and tell me what your #1 challenge is, and what information, tools, or guidance would help you? Not only will this help me to make sure that my course creates maximum value...I want to make sure that I am delivering maximum value to YOU here on scoop.it.

Trish Sadar's insight:

When I was in my twenties, I was juggling multiple jobs and had to put my career goals and education on hold. Everything changed for me when one leader noticed something in me – my spark and potential… and the rest is history.

I know the power that lives inside of each of us, sometimes we just need someone who believes in us to show us the way. Is your flame going strong? My goal is to ignite your spark and flame.

YOU have unique gifts and your true power begins when someone believes in you, and takes hold when you start believing in yourself.

I am personally inviting you and every woman you know to get access to my FREE online virtual event!

So I asked some amazing authors and speakers if I could interview them and they said yes!

Please share this information to all the wonderful women you knowJ

Trish Sadar's insight:

Great suggestions to read in this article! Most interviewers who I have come across start with "tell me about yourself", and ask atleast one of the listed questions.

Preparation is the key for you to be able to walk confidently into the interview ready to show them the best version of you.

My call to action before any interview:

1) Know why they should hire you, besides your experience. If you don't know how will the interviewer know.

2) Review the job description/job posting and prepared to respond to questions related. If the job lists job duties you are do not have experience with -- the next best thing is to research what the job duty entails, and what is required. Perhaps you have experience with similar duties that you can explan.

Instead of saying, "no, I do not have experience with xyz software, you can say ...I am familiar with xyz software, at my work we use a similar one which is abc. If hired for the job, I found an online course on Lynda.com that I would take to be ready on my first day."

3) Get to know the company -- what the company does, accomplishments, recent events, their history, their mission, vision, values, and service philosophy. So when you are asked, why do you want to work here you should be able to answer sincerely.

---If you have any questions, comments, or best practices about careers or leadership…I am on it! My goal is to share thoughts, tools, and inspiration to help you leverage your strengths, and achieve your goals! Walt Disney said, "Whatever we have accomplished has been because other people have helped us." So don't be afraid to ask for help...that is what I am here for!

Until next time...PS - Live on Purpose!

Brandon Denton's comment, June 25, 2015 5:57 PM

While reading all of these questions, I noticed a common theme. This is that the interviewer wants to hear personal stories or experiences that you (the interviewee) has encountered before. This shows them that you have "been through the ringer" and are comfortable in otherwise uncomfortable situations.

Ryan Luehrman's curator insight, June 21, 2020 8:15 PM

There is nothing worse than when you get asked a hard question by an employer. So I added this section to prepare for the inevitable.

Great advice on preparing for college interviews!!!

Lillian Budd's curator insight, January 20, 2015 1:14 PM

I honestly didn't even know that there were college interviews until recently. I would imagine that there are a lot of other people like me who don't know about this, and this would definitely help them prepare for these interviews. Publishing this will help those who aren't confident in their ability to "rock" these interviews. I chose this for that specific reason.

Trish Sadar's insight:

If you are going through countless interviews now, this quote is for you. I know that interviews can be like going through endless emotional rollercoaster rides, not to mention nobody likes being rejected.

I want to remind you that if you didn't get the job it wasn't about you. Do your best to take something away from each interview. Reflect on what you learned, and what you would do differently the next time. Did you ramble? Did some questions stump you? Did you forget to ask questions? Did you forget to get the business card of the person who was interviewing you? Decide that you are getting better and more confident each day. (You will)

Remember why you are interviewing, and stay focused on your goal and what success looks like. The path you are walking is your very own. Know where you are going, stay focused on your milestones, read the signs along the way, and remember that you are the driver. :)))

Trish Sadar's insight:

I agree that preparation is the key to a successful interview. The truth is that every interview is different, because every person, role, and company is unique.

The one way to focus efficiently on what you need to know to walk into the interview confident and empowered is to prepare 3 things. In my interview book I call it a triangle.

The top of the triangle is to know yourself. That means that you need to know why the employer would hire you. The top way to feel confident walking into the interview is to know your value. What are your strengths, what are your traits, what makes you stand apart from all of the other candidates? Be honest, if you don't know why someone would hire you how will the interviewer know. Einstein says that if you can't explain it simply you don't know it well enough.

The second thing to prepare is the job role. Go through the job posting bullet by bullet. If there are any duties, skills, or software you are not familiar with circle them and be ready to discuss similar duties or projects.

The third is to know about the company, and if possible the interviewer. Know what the company does, their mission, vision, values, and service philosophy. Have they been in the news, have they won recent awards? Why do you want to work for the company?

Hope this article and my advice help to empower not confuse you.

My goal is to share thoughts, tools, and inspiration to help you leverage your strengths, and get to where you want to be faster! I am grateful and fortunate to work with best in class global organizations and talented leaders, and I love to pass along lessons I gained from my experiences.

Here are mines:

- imagine you are in my shoes and I'm in yours: what would you evaluate in my profile? What is the most important question you would have for me?

- what are you incorruptible at?

- what is your level of intolerance and why?

- how do you measure talent?

Morning all. I've recently compiled a comprehensive list of behavioural based interview questions for agency recruitment and in-house clients over the last week. It can be pretty daunting with the amount of information out there. If anyone is out there that has just started interviewing talent then please take a read of this article it has 5 relevant questions that will help verify the suitability of the person for the role. Happy Interviewing!!

Trish Sadar's insight:

You are probably thinking.....What??? Now I have to worry about digital interviews!

There is a silver lining to digital interviews for both hiring managers and candidates...so stay with me okay? Here are just a few pros to digital interviews.

Candidates:

- You get time to practice and rehearse

- You can video yourself at a time that works for you, or over a few days

- You can re-shoot if you are not happy with how you sound on the interview

- You can step into the shoes of the interviews to see for yourself how you sound and look from their lens

Interviewers:

- You can view the videos on your time when it is convenient for you

- You can watch the videos, and pause like a movie if you have meetings or schedule commitments

- You can fast forward if an applicant takes the long road to get to the response

What do you think about the digital interview?

Trish Sadar's insight:

Asking the right type and the right amount of questions is important.

If the interview is with HR, and the interview is a screening interview -- then you should prepare questions that will help you prepare for the next round of interviews. Questions regarding the position, the team, the goals, if appropriate the supervisor, and the company.

If the interview is with the hiring manager of the department, then asking questions about the role to demonstrate your interest in the position and the contributions you plan on bringing to the team is important.

Remember guys even if as the interview starts winding down you realize that the particular job is not for you, still move forward and ask some questions. It is not unusual for the HR team to love you as a candidate, and suggest you for other positions.

Until next time...PS - Live on Purpose!

I agree that most of the interview question goals are to find out:

1. Can you do the job/are you within our salary range

2. Are you professional

3. Are you are the right for the department and organizational culture

After you read the article, do you have other interview questions you wondered why that question was asked?

If so, we would love to hear from you!

I can't say that I have met many people who said that they love interviewing. As a matter of fact, most people have found it to be hard work and a bit stressful.

While you may not have much choice about the resume, application, and interview process...you always have a choice of how you approach it. Remember why you are interviewing, and keep your goals in sight.

Do your best to surround yourself with people who will lift and support you. Don't ever think that you are alone -- that is what this community is all about -- helping eachother reach our goals!

Until next time...Hoping these articles, tips, and quotes help you accelerate your success and live on Purpose!

Sometimes, it's good to know when to quit...and go another direction. You're not quitting for good--you're quitting because what you've been doing isn't working. There's a huge difference, and continuing to beat your head against a brick wall isn't going to help at all.
