Q: How do I conduct myself if I am out of work and interviewing? Things I should do and shouldn’t do?
A: If you are out of work, the last thing you want to appear to an employer is needy. For example, reframe this answer to the question “Why do you want to work here?”
I really want to do anything at all, I just need the work.
into:
I bring to you knowledge and experience in key areas. I delegate well, manage time wisely, and work well with others.
Always accentuate what you are good at, and not what you are lacking. Once you get the interview off on the right foot by explaining reasons you deserve to work there, you can sprinkle in details of why you are out of work.
