Lesson 15
What an interviewer is looking for

Bill: Obviously, we're looking for good interpersonal skills. Also, creativity - because we're looking for someone who will have lots of good ideas around a particular product or product range, or a set of services. So - creativity, flair, good personality - those are the kinds of things we're looking for.

Bill: There’s one question – really, an opening question - it’s kind of intended to get behind the CV, and get to the real person. It’s a simple question – why don’t you tell me a bit about yourself. Most candidates go into a panic at this stage. “What on earth does he want?!”

Bill: What I’m really looking for is a little overview. I’m really interested in the broader aspects of you so, interests, family, just a little bit. And so, most candidates I would advise them to prepare a two-minute overview of themselves. So, two minutes, a bit about you. You’re telling your story.
