June 1, 2007
Recruiter Tom Ruff's brand new book tells how, and this excerpt offers some interviewing tips that may seem obvious, but are still useful reminders to any job hunter. Particularly interesting is Point #2, which promises to be a key part of more job interviews in this field: 2. Describe how you worked through a situation with a difficult or dishonest person in your workplace. Here is where you are looking for maturity and sound judgment. This is where someone who is not so mature can slip up. It also gives me a glimpse into their ethics. I'm looking for someone who won't go along with an unethical choice and who won't let the team go along with it either. I'm looking for someone who is going to stand their ground.
