The Unique Way to Blow Away your Employers Questions

So, you’re patiently waiting in the conference room of a company that called you for an interview. Are you nervous, well if so, think of something to relax yourself: something funny, like your best friend slipping on a drink that someone spilled while you guys were at a night club. Anything that will calm your nerves that is unnoticeable, go ahead and do it! Now, that you're calm, here they come. Yes, I said they! Today, be expected to have more than one person sitting in on an interview, this is a strategic way to see if you posses the characteristics of confidence, ability to focus as well as your comfort level in a social setting which is a group of more than one. There are many other reasons as to why employers use this style of interview but just keep in mind that they are there to see you, so get ready to shine!

OK! So, the interviewer walks in, maybe even rattles off a joke (again this is to get a feel of your comfort level, can you be a chameleon when appropriate). Smile, be polite and gesture toward the joke at your comfort level. DO NOT GO OVER BOARD AND SCARE THEM AWAY!

...So, you've graduated college, congratulations! Why did you choose the courses you took?

Before you open your mouth, think like the employer and ask yourself exactly why they asked this question. You may want to catch them off guard and say, "In hopes to be here interviewing with your company today." I guarantee you; this will catch the attention of the interviewer.

You may think that this is a vague answer but in actuality you have answered the interviewer’s questions without getting into much detail. You're basically telling the interviewer that your choice of courses surrounded around the hopes of pursuing a career geared toward an area of interest that their company has in common.
