Interview Road Kill - “I Haven’t Done it, but I Can Learn”

Ever respond to an interview question, by saying "I haven't done it, but I can learn"?

OUCH…I can feel your pain. Your interview ended with those words. The fat lady sang.

Employers realize you can learn if you've been in the workforce for a while, or if you've graduated College. Of course you can learn. It's even a bad answer for an entry-level job candidate.

The Inside Track on Recruiters – Top 10 Tips

Phil Rosenberg — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 19:46:57 -0400

It's so simple, and so few candidates do this. And the higher up the management chain the candidate is, the more effective they can be using this strategy.

Do you have any Questions?

Phil Rosenberg — Sun, 01 Jun 2008 10:07:00 -0400

This question is asked at the end of most interviews, and it gives the candidate a chance to shine and stand out from the pack. Do you come loaded with questions, or do you end an interview saying that all your questions were answered?

Subject Matter Experts Rule!
