I love your #3 – getting them to talk the whole way through and preferably without them really realizing it’s happening! Too bad that doesn’t work for Canadian government interviews, the process is so standardized, it sucks!

SenseofCents Thanks Michelle! I have loved writing here, and yes it is amazing how little research people will do on the company where they are interviewing. In this day and age, it is SO easy to get the information, there is no excuse.

Aww enjoyed your articles here Shannon!

I think knowing about the company and doing your research on the company is something that everyone should do before they enter an interview room, but sadly many people do not.

Practical Cents I know! I am sad that this is my last “official” post too, but I have a book coming out in about a month and the promotion of that, plus my day job, plus some other new business opportunities have just stretched my time too much. Anywho, I think it is an awesome idea to do mock interviews! It’s a great way to rehearse for the real thing.

Hey Shannon, sorry to hear this is your last post on YAM. Good luck with your new gigs. ;)

It’s so true about people loving to talk about themselves. Has happened to me as well. I would also add that practicing or doing a mock interview before the actual interview is a good idea. You can practice with your spouse or a friend. It can help take the jitters out of the whole experience.
