    What if you have questions prepared but you either asked them already during the interview or they answered them already during the interview? This has happened a few times where I get to my prepared questions and I just have to say "Well, I had some questions prepared, but it appears you have answered them all" Is that acceptable or is that a red flag?

Any jobseeker who is interviewing will probably respond that they are always on time. What would be the best way to answer the question.

    Today I had a telephone phone interview in regards to a broadcasting job. Yes, I have experience in this position. The interviewer was asking questions like normal. I sent him my broadcasting resume. He looked at it and ask what jobs I was doing in between I told the person. This is what gets me is they asked “What was your longest job ever?” I told him Target in 2011 3yrs. Previous interviewers never asked me this question. This person wanted to know length of my previous jobs not on that resume and wanted to why I don’t work there anymore. Not asking my broadcasting experience. My last broadcasting job last year was only one week and I quit. I was overwhelmed from being unemployed since Nov. 2016. I regret what I did was wrong sabotaging myself. I have mental problem which at times hinders me on losing jobs. Can you tell me why they were asking question “What was your longest job ever?” I am in my early 50’s and very ashamed on telling my situation. Is there a way you can make video regarding have bad job records and people with mental illness?

    On point no. 5 and 6, I was in an interview last year and I wasn't hire because I think I overcooked on these 2 points. I researched 2 key members from the interviewing team (the COO and the HR Director) to a point they were uncomfortable. When I was offered to ask questions, my questions were directed to them to explain key core values of the company. The reason I asked those questions is to try to align them to my principles. Well, that didn't do me any favour.

A LOT of companies have done it for decades. There's also a large issue on linked in with "fake recruiters" just data mining you that has gotten prevalent enough I've started seeing "fake recruiter" warnings on companies sites now. LinkedIn is FULL of them. So knowing what to look for and asking them would be helpful.

I've seen from various other people's advice that you shouldn't mention anything over ten years ago in your CV itself as far as work experience counts. How far would this be true? Secondly, because I ran my own co. as from 2006 to 2019 and only shut it down because of health issues that have since been resolved, how do I portray this experience to interviewers? Hoping you'll respond to these. Very best regards.

    Hi Bill, I recently interviewed with a multinational company and it went really well but I didn’t get an offer. In their words, “You performed incredibly well and ticked all the boxes but unfortunately, we are not able to extend an offer at the time as we simply don’t have enough roles for all our high performing candidates. However , we would love to speak with you and discuss opportunities should our hiring numbers change”. We did speak and I got a positive feedback from them but I don’t know if to stay hopeful or the chances of something coming up, although I did thank them for the time and mentioned I would be exploring other opportunities and would also keep in touch. What do you think please? I really wanted and still want this role with this company.

  • @karentaylorsmells

    I probably wouldn't have said I would be exploring other opportunities as that doesn't make them think you want to work for THEM. If a couple of months have passed why not reach out back to them to say how much you enjoyed meeting them and have any other positions come up? (Make sure you've check their careers site or they will think you're being lazy.. if there's something there ask if they could make time for a quick chat about it?)

    Just interviewed a candidate who told me what was wrong with many former employers in great detail. The lack of appropriateness and professionalism was glaring. And I never asked one question that would lead to this kind of disclosure. DONT DO IT!

    What do you think of this? If we get rejected, should we ask by emailing the HR or recruiter why we were rejected? even with saying "... May I know my flaws, so I could better myself?" - Is this action appropriate? Thank you n advance for your response.💖

    Nothing to stop you, but 99.9% of the time they will tell you nothing, and 99% of the times they do, it's not honest.
