New Tough Interview Question & Answer Do you prefer staff or line (evolving or repetitive) work? You might be asked this question at a job fair (yes, they still have them!), or in a situation where the kind of work you’re looking for isn’t clear to the interviewer. This can happen when you use a generic resume without a specific Objective, a company is trying to fill a lot of different positions at the same time, or the interviewer wants to better understand where you might fit in. With this query, the interviewer is really asking is it your preference to work collaboratively with others, or to work on the same task(s) repetitively and possibly in isolation. Of course, only you can answer this question, but regardless of your preference, state it briefly and clearly, without further explanation. You don’t want to give your interviewer something to be judgmental about unnecessarily, nor do you want to create more questions in their mind.

Are you ready to stand out in your next job interview? At Vital Tech Solutions, we believe that making a great first impression is just as crucial as showcasing your skills and experience. As recruiters, we often view candidates through our customers' eyes. That's why we encourage job seekers to embrace a more traditional and professional appearance at job fairs and interviews. It's not just about the attire; it's about demonstrating respect and understanding of the professional environment. But remember, looking the part is just the beginning. Your ability to engage in intelligent conversations about your work history and career goals is equally important. So, do your homework, prepare to answer those tough questions, and let your knowledge and experience shine! #VitalTechSolutions #ITtalent #Engineeringprofessionals #Detroit #Frankenmuth #Michigan

Just learned a new term to explain all these job placements: Ghost Posting. Explains a lot about how one can apply to upwards of like 300 jobs in a few weeks and maybe get one job interview a month. If there are real recruiters out there interested to speaking with me they usually just email me directly or call me at this point. I'm starting to just not believe that linkedin or indeed is filled with little more than fake job spam. Exceptionally disheartening for someone trying to actually get back into the field after months of searching and maybe a handful of interviews.

"Top-Ten Tips for Encouragement and the Unemployed" Tip #9: PREPARE FOR YOUR INTERVIEW No interviews scheduled in the foreseeable future? It's still good to get in shape and be prepared for the day when it arrives. *PREPARE FOR GENERAL INTERVIEW QUESTIONS -- The Internet is filled with "Top 20/50/100 Interview Questions." Prepare your stories so you are telling them as comfortably as your favorite personal sagas -- getting your driver's license, what you did at your first job, etc. Think about some of your greatest professional accomplishments and retell these familiar stories to respond to general interview questions. *PRACTICE "STAR" RESPONSES -- When practicing your general responses, get comfortable answering in the STAR format: structure your responses by defining the Situation/Task/Action/Result. *PRACTICE WHAT YOU WON'T BE SAYING -- I'll never forget a friend who was looking for a new job for years. She quite confidently told me she'd begin her interview by telling the hiring manager she won't travel and would only come to the office twice a week... at most. Basically, don't begin the conversation with your demands. And, no... I don't believe she ever found a new position.  *ATTEND AN IN-PERSON JOB FAIR -- what a great opportunity to practice your elevator pitch! And, though I haven't tried speed dating, I think it must be a very similar experience. Multiple attempts to improve your first impression... and maybe, you actually find a path to your new career. *YOU HAVE AN INTERVIEW -- Study up on your prospective professional home. Show them your interest by citing their mission statement, strengths, sustainability programs, leadership, recent accomplishments, position in their industry, etc. Have an insightful question or two prepared for the interviewer. *CONVERT NERVOUS ENERGY INTO EXCITEMENT -- you've been doing all you can to get this interview, and now your nerves are building. Harness that energy and get excited. Show your enthusiasm!

Every year we see countless well-meaning professionals make the same interview mistakes. That’s because, contrary to popular belief, the biggest challenge isn’t honing your technical skills – it’s being memorable. Interview pros know how to stand out from the crowd: - They scrap the Q&A script and connect on a human level. At the end of the day, an interview is just a conversation on a topic about which both parties are personally invested – so, the best kind of conversation! - They enjoy stumping their interviewers. Bonus points if they can prompt a “I’ll get back to you about that.” - They’re genuinely curious about…everything. Even if they don’t get the job, interview veterans aim to leave every interaction having learned something new about the industry, company, and role. - They know the value of a thank you note. Archaic convention or not, thank you notes are the perfect opportunity to emphasize strengths, fill in any gaps, and express excitement. Making people like and remember you is just as important as proving your technical chops - after all, almost everyone applying can do the basics of the job. Fair or not, people who master the art of being memorable tend to get more job offers. Have you gotten lost in the crowd – or even worse, lost in the black hole of online applications? What’s worked for you to stand out?

Landing a better opportunity may seem like luck, and it might be, but chances are it is down to your experience and knowing how, when and where to be. How do you get a better CV? More Experience, that is relevant to the role. How do you perform better in an interview? More Experience, that you can and know how to talk about. How do you grow more and faster in your career? More Experience and knowledge of what to do and how to plan for it. Experience is everything.
