Have you heard the latest ‘killer’ interview question?
Have you ever been totally at a loss of words when someone asks you a difficult question during an interview or business meeting? C’mon admit it, it has happened to the best of us.
There are countless books and internet sources providing tips for interviews, tips for negotiations and tips for answering tough questions. This barrage of information has caused interviewers to be more creative with their questioning.
The latest one that I heard is, “Are you lucky?” Answer negatively and you will come across as the blaming type, not able to take responsibility for your actions. Answer positively and you signal that you are empathetic, have perspective, have high emotional intelligence and would work well in a team.
Putting It Into Action:
Practice your answer to “Are you lucky?” and record your answer on video. Research additional tough questions on websites like Vault.com and practice your answers. Strive to be positive, creative, empathetic and focused in your answers.
With you along the path towards success,
