12. Some people who are
good workers struggle
all their life to get jobs, get
promoted and generally
advance in their life.
Others who are no better
workers get jobs easily,
get promoted, buy
houses, get married, go
overseas for their holidays.
13. If an interview is
a performance;
how did you perform
at interview?
How do you play
your part if you
do not know what
the script is?
15. Current selection
processes the world over
are not about the best
person for the job.
Current selection
processes are about who
says they are the best.
16. Do not attach your
self-esteem to this process.
Do not validate
an invalid system
17. What they honestly
believe and say they
want, and who they
choose are often two
different things.
19. Across industry, across
different jobs and across
different levels you hear
the same questions and
certainly the same types
of questions being
asked again and again.
20. Each time the same
good answer is recognised
as a good answer.
And just as importantly,
the same bad answer
is recognised as a
bad answer.
21. There is no such thing
as the right answer.
Interviews are not some sort
of oral exam. There is only
ever the right approach.
22. The right approach.
The right mindset.
• What is the best use of this question to me?
• How do I milk the question for all it is worth to me?
• How do I manipulate this process from the passenger seat?
23. It would be unusual
for there to be only
one factor that
influences interviews.
Usually it is a number
of small pieces of the
jigsaw making up the
bigger picture.
24. The merit side of
the equation, concrete,
tangible, testable.
Experience
Skills
Knowledge
Information
Qualification
Education
25. What is valuable on the merit side?
Wisdom
Insight
Understanding
26. These three words should
become your mantra
on the merit side.
wisdom,
insight, and
understanding.
27. The likeability side of the equation,
intangible, not measurable,
detestable and often not
even job related.
Fit in
Personality
Attitude
Appearance
28. Three that we need
to add and discuss . . .
Honesty
Sense of humour
Reflection factor
29. The person who gets the job,
in an open competition, on most
occasions is the person who
demonstrates the wisdom, insight
and understanding and at the
same time is likeable.
30. If you are not getting
interviews work more
wisdom, insight and
understanding into your
resume and less information.
31. If you are getting
interviews but not
getting the job work
on your likeability.

Notes de l'éditeur
‘The Secrets to Job Interviewing’. That’s the title for our Skill Sharpener / Lunch+Learn Webinar today, which is sponsored by Citrix GoToMeeting Corporate and powered by GoToWebinar. WELCOME EVERYONE<<change slide>>My name is Todd Lewis and I’ll be your moderator today.
We’ll do our best today, to get all your questions answered, but it MAY not be possible to respond to everyone. So apologies upfront for that. In terms of feedback and suggestions on today’s Webinar. When you exit today’s session, there’ll be a prompt to take a short survey. I do encourage you to take part. As an incentive for participation you’ll have the opportunity to request a link to the slides from today’s presentation. [[[NEXT SLIDE]]] Now of course, it wouldn’t be an online event if we didn’t mention Twitter.
…so if you are on Twitter, we’ll be using the hashtag#jobinterviews. Please do feel welcome to join the conversation there DURING and AFTER our Webinar.<<NEXT SLIDE>>>With the housekeeping out of the way, let’s give a warm virtual welcome to our guest speaker, Philip Garside, joining us from Melbourne.Welcome Philip!
A quick background on Philip.Philip is one of Australia’s leading consultants in Human Resources, and during his 18 plus year career, he has provided training courses to many of Australia’s major organisations, both private and public. On the topic of job interviewing, he is, the author of the bestselling book, The Secrets to Getting a Job, a book I regard as by far the best I’ve ever read on interviewing. And to further illustrate how honoured we should feel to spend an hour with him, there are times when his clients will fly all the way from New Zealand to Melbourne, take a cab directly from the airport to the office – spend two hours with him – taxi right back to the airport and fly back to New Zealand. Sure the might have thought about using GoToMeeting, but there’s no doubt this guy is good at what he does, when people are willing to take those measures to spend time with him.[[Next Slide]]Lastly, before I hand over the virtual stage to Philip . . .
One of you with us today, will be the lucky winner of Philip’s book. We’ll announce the winner toward the end of the webinar. So stay tuned for that.[[NEXT SLIDE]]Enough from me. I’m going to turn the virtual stage over to Philip and we’ll start uncovering the secrets to job interviewing. Philip, take it away!
