Interview Tip Videos

Tricky Question: Past Employers! When you hear the request ‘Tell us about your previous boss or company’, you should... Always be diplomatic! Do share a necessary amount of details about your previous job or your direct boss, but not too much and try doing it in a neutral way. There’s always a learning-curve at any given job, so simply focus on the positive takeaways! Positivity is key and people would opt to work with someone who seemingly gets along well with others, rather than someone who’s been in office feuds day in day out and eventually left the company on bad terms. Don’ts: Don’t get too carried away with the stories you’d want to share, especially those that stuck with you because they left a negative impact on your life! Of course it’s okay to state a few reasons why your previous job was not the most suitable for you, but stay away from getting emotional and worked up over - for example - unfairness practiced by your past employers! It never reflects good on anyone, the interviewers may think that you are by nature a complainer or have issues fitting in, so just don’t do it!
