It’s rough out there looking for a job (as seen from my cover letter). Especially if you are a fool like me with horrible interview skills. But… what could I do to improve? Obviously, the first thing that came to me was to tap into the finest mind of our century for tips. So, I thought – what if for my next interview, I channeled the one and only: D.J. Trump.
The interview
This is how I imagine the interview would go.
Recruiter: Hey, thanks for taking the time to chat with me today. I thought we could start the interview by spending a little time talking about your work history and why you’re interested in the role. Does that sound good?
Yes, I am… Ok, so why don’t you start off by telling me a little bit about yourself?
Well that’s great to be confident. So, just in your own words, tell me something about your current role.
Ok… Is there a particular project you’ve been working on that you’re proud of?
Oh, did you work at Facebook? I didn’t see that on your resume.
Ummm…. apologies… Perhaps then you could tell me about a project you worked on that didn’t go so well? A project you learned from?
Well, this has all been very … interesting. I think I might have all that I need at this point….
Sure… I’ll discuss this with my team and get back to you.
I’m definitely a shoo-in for the job, right?!
