What to Say and Not Say During Interview

How's our job search so far???
Marami na bang calls and appointments for final interview schedule? If you have good luck po!

Todays topic would be what you have to say and don't say during interview.

I'll just give a list below and this would be based on my experience whenever I get hired or not.

What not to say during interview and what you have to say to interviewer.

1. If you have previous job where you did not resign or in short you AWOL or absent without  leave. Never ever disclose it to employer for what ever reason bakit ka nagawol don't disclose. It will just worsened your question and answer during interview. Iisipin lang ng employer mo madali ka lang sumuko or papalit palit ka ng job which is makikita rin naman sa previous company mo.

I had my own experience which is I did have different job before listed on my resume but there would be a valid reason why you left those companies. Better find a better reason for it if ilalagay mo sya on your resume. I encounter this during my interview on our president in my current company. You should know how to defend it if hindi ka tumagal sa company mo.

2. If you have issues with people or your boss. This might cause employer to think you can't adjust to environment and culture. They might think mahina ka in terms of attitude. Remember kahit san companies may mga taong hindi mo makakasundo or magiging kaclose. We can't please anyone okay. Just remember if you came for work that should be your priority. If it happens naman marami kang naging friends doon that would be a bonus.

3. Don't disclose anything personal like problems or personal business that would cause conflict of interest. One time may applicant and during his interview he disclosed about his venture a startup company which is nagapply sya para mapondohan yun business na inumpisahan nya. When employer heard it negative agad result and posible kasi gamitin lang ng applicant you company for own interest. Be careful disclosing this kind of things.

4. When interviewer ask questions be attentive at all times. Don't make them feel hindi ka nakikinig sa kanila. Bad shot agad yun for sure. It may seem for then na hindi ka interesado sa trabahong inaaplyan mo. Better you have story for what they are asking specially if situational yun questions. Just to make them feel very serious ka where you should be dapat talaga.

5. If english speaking yun interviewer dapat same kayo. Don't be too relax wag masyadong kampante baka kung anu ano na yung nakwento mo. Which is irelevant naman sa questions nya.

6. Make straight to the point answer wag paligoy ligoy sa mga sagot during interview. They might find inconsistent ka sa mga sagot mo. It's a sign na there's something wrong with you. remember pagmagulo ka kausap don't expect mahired ka.

7. Just be polite and magalang at all times. Use words correctly dapat magalang ka use sir or ma'am. We all been educated naman during values education during high school dapat magamit natin yun.

8. If interviewer ask for your job experience. Just tell then magcreate ka ng story if anung ginagawa mo just make it detailed para klaro. Remember tell them relevant experience for the position you are applying.  I'm not advising you to use make up story yung kwento lang hindi naman talaga naging job mo before. Mahihirapan ka lang sa job mo for sure if ever mahired ka. If ever you got hired dapat mapanindigan mo.
