Today's Question :
describe
your ideal company, location and job.
TRAPS:[/b] This is often asked by an experienced
interviewer who thinks you may be overqualified, but knows better than to show
his hand by posing his objection directly.
So hell use this question instead, which often gets a candidate to reveal
that, indeed, he or she is looking for something other than the position at
hand.

ANSWER:[/b] The only right answer is to describe what
this company is offering, being sure to make your answer believable with
specific reasons, stated with sincerity, why each quality represented by this
opportunity is attractive to you.
Remember
that if youre coming from a company thats the leader in its field or from a
glamorous or much admired company, industry, city or position, your interviewer
and his company may well have an Avis complex.
That is, they may feel a bit defensive about being second best to the
place youre coming from, worried that you may consider them bush league.
This
anxiety could well be there even though youve done nothing to inspire it. You
must go out of your way to assuage such anxiety, even if its not expressed, by
putting their[/i] virtues high on the
list of exactly what youre looking for, providing credible reason for wanting
these qualities.
If you
do not express genuine enthusiasm for the firm, its culture, location, industry,
etc., you may fail to answer this Avis complex objection and, as a result, leave
the interviewer suspecting that a hot shot like you, coming from a Fortune 500
company in New York, just wouldnt be happy at an unknown manufacturer based in
Topeka, Kansas.
