Finding a job in this financial downturn and when so many people are being laid off  is difficult. In recent times so many people have asked my advice on answering “difficult interview questions” that I’ve decided to share some of the tips that I’ve given to the friends I’ve mentored over the past few years.

I know there is lots of advice on the internet on handling interviews but I hope that these short clips will be useful because I will explain why the question is being asked as well as ways to answer it.

I feel that by understanding why the question is being asked it then becomes easier to think through how to respond in a positive and dynamic way that makes you stand out from the crowd.

The first two questions I talk about in this video are:
 “Tell me about your career to-date” and
“Tell me about your strengths and weaknesses”

Within a few days I’ll have some more interview tips for you
