How would you react if I told you that your interview, so far, was TERRIBLE?

How would you react if I told you that your interview, so far, was TERRIBLE?

Stop for a moment and really think...... how would you REACT in the heat of your interview this week if your interviewer said that to you?

Would you get angry and annoyed?

If so, you would have fallen for the 'TRAP'.

Listen to the question again and this time pay close attention to the most important word in the question -'If'.

The interviewer is NOT saying that your interview is terrible. He is asking: "How would you react IF I said your interview was terrible."

In other words, he is trying to find out how you REACT to..... criticism.

That's all.

He is TRYING discover what type of person you REALLY are - behind all your 'polished' answers.

The real answer to this question is YOUR RESPONSE. That's what the interviewer is looking out for.

Do you response calmly and with composure to the question? - or do you get anxious or response aggressively?

So listen carefully to the question and don't fall for the bait.
