JBKO · ‎12-16-2011

HI everyone. I have been away for quite a few reasons, one of them my job search. I have a second interview today! Any last minute advice? Thank you so very much

Congratulations on being asked for a 2nd interview. Best quick advice? Talk about what you can do for them! (Not what the job will provide to you!) do your homework. Know everything there is to know about this organization. Finally, show enthusiasm and a strong desire to work really hard!....and do whatever it takes to get a job done. Good luck!

I know this seems obvious, but remember to ask for the job! After you've dazzled them with intelligent questions, if you really want the job, tell them so.

Congrats! You are halfway there now. They like you. So, do what you've been doing. Don't change a thing. Answer their questions honestly and be yourself. Don't bring up salaray or benefits or anything like that. You address those issues after they offer you the job...in writing.

Do what you did the first time. It obviously worked. Good Luck !!

This might be too late for this interview, but I just read this the other day. At the end of the interview, ask, "Is there anything in my application that might be a concern for you?"

Edited to add: Whether first, second or third interview, be sure to send a Thank You note afterwards.

Strive for respect instead of attention. It lasts longer.

As someone who did a lot of interviewing, I have to say asking if something on my application or resume might be of concern would be a huge red flag. That question suggests there IS something concerning and the applicant wants a chance to explain it away.

Perhaps a better question would be "Is there any information in my resume that you would like me to elaborate on?"

Exactly why would you ever plant a negatie thought in their mind.

Stop being afraid of what could go wrong and start being positive what could go right.
