Summary of key points
- The best person for the job does not necessarily win it—often it’s
the person who gives the best interview.
- Interviews are more than just giving technically correct answers.
They’re also very much about building rapport.
- Not all interviewers know what they’re doing; your job is to know
how to handle the good and bad interviewer.
- It’s better to be honest and admit ignorance than try to pretend you
know an answer and come across as disingenuous and less than bright.
- Good looking people win jobs—maybe in Hollywood movies, but
on the whole, employers are keen to hire talent over superficial factors.
- Striving to give the perfect answer can get you into trouble. It’s better to give a good answer that’s to the point rather than searching for
perfection; besides, often there’s no such thing as the perfect answer.
- Do not ask questions for the sake of it. Only ask a question if you
have a genuine query that has not been covered.
- Interviews are formal occasions requiring relatively formal behaviors.
Interviewers will expect this and may react negatively if they don’t
see it.
- Interviewers do not spend all their time looking for your flaws. They’re
more interested in getting an overall picture of who you are. Avoid
answering questions defensively. It’s much better to see every question
as an opportunity to highlight your best points.
