The Way You Don’t Answer a Job Interview Question, Sir!

 

This is the most intense movie from 2009. I like this scene because of the job related analogy all in 49 seconds.

  • When asked a direct question by an officer but the soldier did not give a direct answer. Learn to give direct answers the first time.
  • The was a “Wildman” he just said, “Yes Sir”. Don’t know if it was a compliment, but it seems so in the spirit.  An interview from a person who says what they feel can throw you off but like the soldier, continue to answer the question.
  • The officer asked again, “How many bombs did you disarm?”, the soldier responded 873. An Interviewer shouldn’t take twice to ask a direct question twice. Be viewed as sharp job prospect, not dull one. Impressed by the number, the interviewer will think "Will I have to ask what you accomplished on the job twice? " Don’t leave that kind of impression when you interview for an employer who has seen 20 people for the position.
  • The answer the soldier answered when the officer asked, “How did you dismantled that many bombs?” was, “The way you don’t die, sir?”.  If you continue to give indirect answers, you’ll lose respect and make the interviewer feel that he/she wasted their time.

Nice crisp and prompt answers when you interview. Most of the time, you only have one shot to make a lasting impression. Be proud of your accomplishments, and the only way you will get the second interview is if you brag a little.
