Interview Tip: It's Like a Relay Game
When you’re in a good interview, it’s like being on a relay team. You and the employer are runners on the same team, and you both have a common goal: to figure out if you and the employer's organization are a winning combination.
So think of your interview as a sports event where you and the manager pass a "baton" back and forth. One good question leads to a good answer, which leads to another good question.
Before you know it, 30 or 40 minutes have gone by: You’ve both learned a lot about each other and made your selling points. Using this image of cooperation rather than one of opposition will help you have an effective interview.
Of course, not all interviews are going to be that fluid. Some managers aren’t skilled at asking good questions. Some may even try to trip you up with tricky questions. This guide is filled with tips about how to turn your interview into a winning relay.
