Chapters

I think the real issue that most people do wrong in an interview is when the interviewer talks a lot more than the candidate talks. So what I like to do is make sure that I'll answer all of your questions but I'll do it at the end of the interview. I'll always reserve time to answer your questions at the end of the interview. But for now this is really to make sure that we as a company know if you're the right fit. If they try to force that back on you. You have to remember that you have to stay in the control position that your time is valuable and you need to know if they're the right person to then spend the time with to give them enough of the information. So I always make sure that I'm doing 90% of the question asking 90% of the listening and at the end of the interview we flip roles and they can ask questions and I'll answer everything they want at that point.
