Whitney's Featured Tip
How to Stand Out In Your Interview
Instead of just asking a few questions, learn to maximize this time by first stating a fact and then asking your question.
Here's an example. Which sounds better? Question A or Question B?
Question A:
What are the next steps in the interview process?
Question B:
Wow. After meeting with you today and touring the facility, this place really feels like home. I can definitely see myself working here. With that being said, what are the next steps in the interview process?
Here's another example. Which sounds better? Question C or Question D?
Question C:
Having read through your website, I understand your company is very dedicated to community service. As you can see from my resume, this is also something I am very passionate about. Can you tell me more about your Community Service Days?
Question D:
Can you tell me more about your commitment to community service?
If you answered Question B and Question C - you're correct! Hopefully, this helps you see the impact stating a fact first before asking your questions can really make in your interview.
