Questions Most Essential for Any Job Interview
[00:00:00] What if the resume gaps are from spouses in the military?
I think that's okay. But one of the things that I recommend is that you think about when you're applying for jobs. When an employer is looking at your resume, they're asking these questions. So these are the questions that the employer is asking.
Can you do the job?
Will you do the job long-term?
And so far, the problem is, if you've left your position in a law firm, because your spouse is in the military and then you want to work in a firm when you've come back, they're going to say what if your spouse leaves again?
And you have to be able to answer that question. If you say then I'll have to move. Then they're going to worry about whether you can do the job. Long-term, they're going to worry about if they can do better. So those are the questions they're going to ask.
If you're in a small market and you have a very good experience, and no one can find, and they can't do better than they're going to hire you.
But if you can't do the job, long-term because your spouse is going to be moving. Then they're going to be worried about that. So I would take a screenshot or write down these questions because this is how all employers are thinking when they're looking at your resume when they're interviewing you.
So you don't need to [00:01:00] convince them that you can do the job. If you're smart, you can do most jobs but the big thing is that they can tell if you can do the job, from your resume. These are the big things they're concerned about.
They're concerned about whether they think you're going to stick around based on their experience with people like you. Whether you seem like you can be managed.
These questions are pretty crucial for hiring people. And so if you give yourself points in this when you go into an interview and just figure out how you can do that.
So I've seen people that literally can't do the job. I've hired people before that couldn't do the job. I've made huge mistakes, in hiring a manager. I've made a lot of very good choices hiring too, but I've made huge mistakes hiring and I've hired people that couldn't do the job, but I liked, and I could be managed. And, because of experience with other things.
This is the whole way of thinking about it that I like and that I think is helpful.
