Can you imagine only 3 questions being asked? What happened to the old stand by's like where do you see yourself in ten years? What is your greatest weakness?
Today, 2012 we are being forced to fight for less and less jobs in the Hospitality market and you have to bring something exciting to the table but THREE QUESTIONS?
This is brilliant. In an article published in Forbes Magazine, the only three questions that recruiters agree are the most important are:
1. Can you do the job?
2. Will you love the job?
3. can we tolerate working with you?
Now, I assure you that the first two are basic and that should be given, but the last, I find the most important in my opinion. What type of FIT are you and will you in fact fit with us? When applying for jobs, we should in fact also be interviewing THEM, potential companies. Sure, this is also a stressful thought considering your fighting to pay your rent and put food on your table so why should I get crazy and start trying to interview them? I NEED A JOB!!
Ok, slow down, it is extremely important that you investigate the companies you are inquiring about. Start by turning on that computer your playing games on and start reading. What is their Mission Statement? Does it conform to your beliefs? If it doesn't say ANYTHING to you, then perhaps you might want to skip them and go to someone else because if you can't stand them now, you might be fighting for years convincing yourself you love them. Do they offer things you believe in? Are the benefits exactly what you need? Is there room for growth? Are they growing as a company?
Start looking at the company's BRAVE and see if is what you stand for. What is BRAVE you ask?
B- Behavior's
R- Relationship's
A- Attitude's
V- Value's
E- Environment
These things will prepare you, along with your experiences and skills to ensure that your a perfect fit. Now......go out there and show em what you got!!
