"Interview Question”

What Would You Do in the First 30, 60 and 90 Days on the Job?

Active listening will come in handy here. This common interview question may be hard to prepare for in advance, since details that you learn during the interview itself about the employer's priorities may help you formulate a better, more specific answer.

How to Answer "What Would You Do in the First 30, 60 and 90 Days on the Job?" If you need a refresher about any points that your interviewers have raised in terms of their priorities, or if they haven't shared them yet, it's fair to ask for clarification before you begin answering. Knowing what the hiring manager cares most about is key to how you should frame your plan for what you would do during your initial months in the position. #AWU #disability #Interviewquestions

“Interview Question”

What Do You Find the Most Stressful About This Type of Role? This is another potential minefield that you should answer with care, rather than off the cuff. Interviewers are looking for examples that suggest you handle stress well. Your goal is to show that you do know how to manage stressful situations with grace.

How to Answer "What Do You Find the Most Stressful About This Type of Role?" A winning response might be: “It’s true that this role can be stressful, and I’ve certainly dealt with my share of it in previous positions. If I had to say what the biggest stressor is, I’d pinpoint timing issues. I’m a stickler for meeting deadlines and delivering to my team what I say I will – so when it comes to crunch time, I feel the pressure until I’ve crossed the finish line.” #AWU #disability #Interviewquestions

"Interview Question”

What Kind of Impact Do You Hope to Have in Your Next Role?

Hiring teams want to know what candidates can do for them, and this impact question gives you the perfect opportunity to impress them with your drive.

How to Answer "What Kind of Impact Do You Hope to Have in Your Next Role?" The specific type of impact you emphasize will depend on the specific industry or job you’re applying to. But in general, you can stress that you want to build on the skills you bring to the table and that you hope to leverage your experience from your last position to help the company achieve its goals.

For example: “One of my biggest goals that I plan to achieve with my next employer is to take all of my learnings from my career to date to create something big. The first part of my career has been about understanding as much as I can about the industry, and now I finally feel like I’m in the perfect place to have a significant impact in whatever key projects I’m working on.” #AWU #disability #Interviewquestions

"Job Search Tip"

Red Flag Buzzwords in a job description!

"Must Be Available to Work Flexible Hours"

Those words usually mean that there is No Work-Life Balance!

You will get called,emailed, and or texted anytime and you should be ready. “Flexible hours” often equates to late nights of work, texting over weekends, and random tasks blowing up your life on a moment’s notice. Beware! If a company can’t define clear working hours, it probably doesn’t respect boundaries.

If you see these words in a job description at your interview you should address them for your own benefit. #AWU #disability #jobs
