Tips for Getting the Job
Tip#2 Finding and using the interviewers “Hot Buttons”
An interviewer’s hot buttons are their unspoken concerns or wishes. It’s your job as the interviewee, to uncover the interviewer’s hot buttons. If you don’t ask, they probably won’t tell you. There are two magic questions that will reveal the interviewer’s hot buttons.
* “What do you see as the greatest challenge for this position?”
* “What qualities do you see as most important for this position?”
Once you’ve asked the all important questions— shut up and listen!
