I got a job!

Nando on June 26, 2019

Not gonna lie, I was a little dramatic in my last post. Every word typed and read was true but it definitely needed to be read in a particular tone...

Lastly, something I just learned, ask questions! Asking the right questions can make or break an interview.

Speaking from the other side (as an employer), you will be surprised at how useful it is for us as the interviewer when questions are asked, which tends to lead to conversations (not just one way questions and answers)

It reveals a lot of information to us directly or indirectly, on what the individual is interested in, and if the interviewee would be the right fit for the job, and their thought process.

In some cases, the question you ask may literally be the tie breaker, against another candidate for the role!

~ All the best for your new job =)
