How do I answer personal questions in interviews?

How do I answer personal questions in interviews?

This question is asked so interviewers can peel back some layers and get to know the person behind the “corporate suit”. If you feel comfortable, answer the question honestly, i.e. I enjoy running marathons or relaxing by the beach with friends and family. If you eventually get the job, they will most likely find out these things about you then anyway. Be careful not to share information about yourself that could create a negative unconscious bias towards you… Such as if you like to go boxing… be careful that you are not sharing this with someone who hates boxing.

How do I behave in group interviews?

 

Ensure everyone has a chance to speak and do not speak over someone. Use your time wisely and try to think of a different way of answering a question compared to the others in the room. Stand out without being invasive. Site bullet points and be punchy, show that you are a quick and agile thinker.

How do I answer the ‘weaknesses’ question in interviews?

We are all human and therefore we all have areas of improvement – this is certainly not a detriment to ourselves or to the interview. By identifying your weakness, it shows you are aware of it and willing to learn techniques on how to change/improve

Should I wear high heels for an interview?

Again, it depends on the company and role. Often yes more so than no.

When is a good time to look for a job in the industry I’m studying in?

 

For full-time work, it is best to start looking for work towards the end of your degree as you will not have the capacity for full-time employee whilst studying. It may take some time for any roles to become available and then furthermore, the process of applying for roles can also be time-consuming. Apply for full-time roles once you are nearing the end of the semester but be prepared for nothing to eventuate until the new year. Internships and part-time work are an excellent way of gaining experience over the summer holidays

How do I write a resume with a first page summary?

 

Artificial Intelligence today often scans the first page and then grades your candidate validity so first-page content is critical. Your first page must be clear and succinct, no fluff. Ensure all your most important information is collated on the one page as this is often all that is scanned when your CV is digitally read.
