Interview Tips

Bill Pitcher, předseda sprvn rady organizace Cedar International, povede přijmac pohovor, kterho se Merry zčastn. Jak schopnosti a vlastnosti ho zajmaj?

Well obviously we're looking for good interpersonal skills. Also, creativity because we're looking for someone who will have lots of good ideas around a particular product or product range, or a set of services. So creativity, flair, good personality - those are the kinds of things we're looking for.

Merry bude muset předvst, e j mimo jin nechyb tvořiv duch a dobr charakter.

Bill Pitcher dle upozorňuje, e jedna obligtn otzka obvykle kandidty při interview zaskoč:

Theres one question - as an opening question - its intended to get behind the CV . Its a simple question - tell me a bit about yourself. Most candidates go into a panic at this stage, what on earth does he want!

Jak se při odpovědi na tuto otzku nejlpe vyvarovat častmu omylu?

What Im looking for is a little overview. Im really interested in the broader aspects - just a little bit. Prepare a two minute overview of yourselves. Dont go through your CV. Two minutes - a bit about you. The fact that you helped out at the family store. Youre filling in the gaps - you telling your story. I had one chap who talked for 42 minutes. I had to stop him in the end. He was amazed - so was I. Were looking for a two minute helicopter view

Dal otzkou na tělo je: Why did you leave your last job? Pokud jste odeli kvůli nesnesitelnmu fovi a jste v pokuen začt svho bvalho zaměstnavatele kritizovat, Bill Pitcher rad: nedělejte to!

This is a tricky area - the wisdom is never criticise a former employer. Thats difficult - you will be asked about your formal employer. It involves some explanation. If you find yourself in this situation - let the interviewer know that you know its not good practice - Im aware of the conventional wisdom that you shouldnt criticise your former employer. If Im to answer your question honestly I have to say I didnt get on too well with this particular boss. What youre telling them is that I know there is a rule.
