Job interview advice


ZeroZeroSeven

Recommended Posts

I have a job interview tomorrow and I would really like to bring some examples of my reports and projects however, I feel a bit uncomfortable doing it since the reports are confidential and designated for internal use by my current employer.  But here is the caveat - my current employer and potential future employer are not even in the same industry so it's not like I'm divulging information to a competitor.  My thought is if I bring them and control their dissemination, I should be okay but I would like to get some advice on how to proceed?  Thoughts and comments are much appreciated!

I would not do this at all.

Be prepared to articulate what you do and the types of reports you have created. Do NOT show those from another company.

I would agree. It's amazing how small the world really is. Someone at this place might know someone at your current place.

 

The interviews that impress me the most are those who can tell the story of what they have done. Don't just talk about the projects but how you solved the problems. Put yourself in the shoes of the person interviewing you and try to think of what problems they face in their role. Try to articulate how you have solved those types of problems before. I have to hire very technical people but I will hire someone with less experience that has a knack for solving needs and a desire to learn and grow.

Great advice.

More impirtant to be able to articulate how you identified and solved a business problem rather than how you built a report.

Turn it into a discussion on problem solving rather than task completion.

If I'm interviewing you I wouldn't hire you based on the fact. right off the bat you tip the interviewer off that you may not be trust worthy with confide tial information. For HR and any MIS, the #1 biggest threat to a company are the employees.

I'm not saying you're a bad person but the interviewer may see it that way. Don't do it.

Be yourself. See what job intels and try to make employer see that you are right men for the job. Also, very important, make sure u fit into company culture and what they are trying to accomplish. It will literally comedown to your experience and if they like you as a person.

Whenever I have a job interview, I use Facebook and LinkedIn to learn more about people that will interview me. You can find their interests and other things which will boost your confidence level because you feel you know them somewhat.

So i shouldn't talk about catching a contractor that has been stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars just by checking up on their work?

It's not really a question I just wanted to brag. And now suddenly they want to give me an extension

DUDE I TOLD YOU I WOULD GIVE YOU A CUT!!!! fugin choir boy.

Be yourself. Don't talk too much. And relax. That's the strategy I used over the past year and I have secured a great starting job because of it.

I also did use a work sample in the form of a project scope statement, but edited out bits of confidential information such as number figures and part descriptions. I don't think showing them evidence in paper form will hurt you as long as there isn't anything too specific on there. However some of these guys in this thread are hiring managers and know much better than I do as a soon to be college grad.

    • Canales up first. Guys got their legs back yesterday and started a little slow when they came out Bryce challenged them in the huddle and they responded "Dominant practice for the defense today." Praised turnovers, "beautiful hits," and being physical Praised Moehrig, Ransom, Incoom, and Jones II Confirmed playing starters. Predominantly a young team and can't pass up an opportunity. Emphasized game day routines such as nutrition, body readiness, etc. Plus it's a bunch of new guys on the defense. Bryce will start. Will play them the first two, but starters might sit for the third game depending on how practice goes that week. Nic Scourton has a mild hamstring that happened in special teams. DJ Johnson had an issue with his hip flare up and is getting checked out this afternoon. Experimenting with approach to preseason games. In Seattle they played their starters in all but the last preseason game and what Pete Carroll was looking for in terms of mental readiness to play football. Thomas Incoom has been getting a lot of work with AC Carter adding to his toolbelt. Getting better as a rusher and being physical in the run game. Looking for a consistency in response. 1pt for a win, 3pts for a TD. Defense doesn't like that, but in games if they give up one go ball the score can swing. They challenged the pass game and the run game today. Guys are getting together before, between, and after team drills to challenge each other Job of the coaching staff to set the foundation for our schemes, philosophy, and expectations of what it's like to play Panthers football. Powerful when players take that and the locker room owns it. That's when it becomes our team, their team. At the end of the day, the men on the field have to rebound from a bad play, celebrate the good plays, and keep each other in tune for a whole game. Robert Hunt is amazing. Size, talent, quickness, flexibility. Really intelligent guy that there will say himself there are technique things he needs to work on. Regardless of where players are at, there's a constant learning curve and loves that Big Rob is challenging himself with the position coach. Thinks the digital down and distance can be really valuable. Getting the information quickly will help with the flow of the game. Thought TMac looked great but there were some near misses that he'll have to get in the room and communicate with Bryce on while reviewing film. James Mitchell keeps doing right and his trust factor is increasing with the QBs. If you're right and the coverage says the ball goes there, it'll come. Had some issues at the start of camp but is trending up. Newton or Person: "It looked like today was beyond thud but short of live. What do you call that?" Canales: "No, that's thud. In my mind, that's what thud should look like. The challenge for our defensive guys is can you put your body in a position where we know that would've been a tackle." Whizzing by, tagging with two hands, etc doesn't show you whether you would've made a tackle. That's not real football. Let's the play extend because guys have to be ready to chase sometime where the ball squirts out from a pit. Can't train to say "Ah, it was a tackle" and relax but instead play with intensity through the whistle. Lathan Ransom is bringing the physical style of play that they saw on film. Has been really into the details and someone that they can count on. Has really given himself a chance to start at the other safety position. Excited for the extra energy from a game-like environment that they'll get from FanFest. Used to have four preseason games and now FanFest feels like that first one. Will give ST full speed reps to evaluate. Making plays and feeding off of the fans. Window closed quickly on the INT to finish practice. CSW baited Bryce with some movement and made a great play. Saw it from Bryce's perspective with TMac coming open. Has played all over the secondary that they can count on to speak loudly and be on the same page with his teammates.
