QUOTE(arafat @ Jan 3 2010, 01:22 AM) what to answer if the interviewer ask what is your weakness? How about your weakness is your strength? IMHO, dont scared of to tell the hiring manager your weakness.  If your strength is aggressive, how about "TOO AGGRESIVE"? This can be a weakness but also a strength to you which depends how you manipulate this infront of your hiring manager. |

QUOTE(underpressure @ Mar 6 2010, 01:00 PM) I'm curious, what do you say when you are say with : There are no big problem to let the interviewer you are into game with their rivals. This make your more higher demand. If they can;t offer, so be it & keep forward for company that can offer you."Have you applied to X firms" or "I noticed you interned with X firm, did you apply or why didn't you join then" On one hand, I figure it is best to be honest. Because when you said you didnt apply back to the firm you had your internship is obviously a lie or you're not proactive enough (especially if you're applying in the same industry). However when you do tell true, it opens a lot of loophole for the interviewer to "attack" you. Like once, the interviewer kept pushing to their rival as their rival have a better development structure. (To def, I kept saying I like their firm working culture and global initiative better) Or a second time when the interviewer just said "Oh, we can't offer you. They might counter offer you." I once got bombarded by interviewer asking "Now tell me what can you offer, I have a guy who has a PhD in X, one with a degree from Cornell and a master from Brown. another with a double degree from NUS. You're just have a local degree plus not a very strong one too. What can you offer me?" Any suggestion for that too? 1.) When a interviewer call you up for an interview, technically you are generally fit their requirement base on your resume. 2.) Qualification is a stepping stone for a candidate to call up for interview 3.) Mostly candidate does not know how to differentiate their capability because they do not relates their capabilities to the position they applied. Hiring manager nowadays looking forward candidate with capable of multi task and knowledge. When a hiring manager comparing you with others qualification means you are nothing practical that outstanding & impress them. So tell your experience & knowledge exposure that you may comply to your position applied. Also, personality and attitude is a very important criteria that a hiring manager looking at which whether you are suit for the jobs. So, get the right attitude to your hiring manager, impress them. Please be in control and clear in mind what you want to achieve out of the interview. Not vice verse. Thats why a lot candidates walk into the interview merely don't know what is their objective. What position you applied? |
