It is never a bad idea to tell the person who is interviewing you that you must double check or validate because you are unsure.
2. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS focus on what you have ACCOMPLISHED, not your damn daily to-do list. Your previous tasks are worthless to me.
3. Ask what process or evaluation steps are used when determining promotions and other incentives.
4. Ask about continuing education or training
Always show you are trying to better yourself.....  |
Wow good tips- I have an interview on Friday. First one in many years. I was not looking for a job, but this kind of fell in my lap. I have been going through the process for a few weeks.
1. Long job application-done
2. Created a new resume-done
3. Passed long series of test including math, English, word problems and character questions (2 sets)
4 Interview on Friday.
Normally I wouldn't worry about it- I own my own business and don't really need it. But my ex wife quit her job and now two of my kids don't have health insurance. Even though it is in the divorce decree-she decided screw it-I don't want to work anymore.
It will be for a huge salary and amazing benefits-so getting kind of excited to see what happens.
I appreciate all the suggestions- havn't interviewed in a decade.
