Put yourself arriving at the company where your interview for the job of your dreams, for the job you always wanted. Park the car; make sure you look just right for the interview and boy you look sharp. While in the waiting area questions scenarios start popping on your head, when finally, the hiring person is ready to see you.

To loose end up the tension, the hiring person asks about the commute to the company – how was it? and after a couple of minutes you feel right at home. Interview starts by asking basic questions and you are right on the money with your answers until behavioral questions arise. You spill your guts out. The conversation went from asking a work related question and the hiring person expecting a work related answer to something it has nothing to do with the discussion. Even worst the information was more than expected.

When interviewing for a position just answer specifically to the question asked. The worst thing a candidate can do is give information for free. It is consider free because the interviewer has not requested the information. One thing turns any interviewer off is candidates who make the interview into a confession session. You are there to sale your abilities and skills not your life story.

So remember at an interview just answer what is being asked and whatever question ask by a hiring person who requires an example always give a strong, concise and powerful answer. That will make your interview results from “candidate no a fit for position” to “recommended to proceed with hiring process”.

Good Luck!
