Ahhh, job interviews. Its the one thing that always sets a corporate warrior into fright
mode. Every year, millions of workers looking for greener pastures send out resumes to
employers a quarter of which will be eligible for a chance to pass the dreaded job
interview.

You can hide and sugarcoat information in your resume, but you cant do the same for a
job interview. Job interviews will always be tough. They will make or break you. You
may be the most skilled employee the world has ever seen, but if you cant communicate
well during one, you wont make the cut.

So whats keeping you from nailing down that job interview? Could it be your lack of
confidence? Your knowledge about the company youre applying for? The arrogant
impression you make to the interviewer?
Whatever it is, here are 5 key interview tips on how to transform yourself from grit to
great. We also asked yuppies from Southeast Asia about their own personal tips. Catch
them at the end of the article!
1. Do your research
Most applicants overestimate their knowledge about the organization theyre aiming to
join. If youre applying for a company, being a loyalist of its products or services is not
good enough thats like saying youre qualified to join Facebook just because you use
Facebook every day.
It takes deeper understanding of an organizations vision, scope of operations, culture,
and management style to truly appreciate it.
So where should you start? Checking the companys website is always a good first step.
The About Ussection summarizes everything you need to know about the company
from an outsiders point of view.

Read online news articles too: what have been the companys success points and
challenges recently? Is it performing well in the market? Who are its competitors and
what is its strategy in the next 5 years?
Your variety of knowledge will surely impress the recruiter as it sends the message that
you are serious about this application.
Finally, dont just end with the homework link it back to you. Is the companys reason
for being aligned with your career roadmap? If your answer is yes, share this with the
interviewer as it will surely drive home the message sweeter (e.g. say it like, I live and
breathe art, and working in a prestigious advertising agency that can further hone my
graphics design skills is the reason why Id like to join your organization).

2. Master the FAQs

There are job interview
questions that have stood the test
of time and you have no excuse
not to prepare for them. By now,
you should have selected good friends or mentors who are willing to conduct mock
interviews for you. Ask them to cover some of the most frequently asked questions
below:

Why are you leaving your current job and seeking opportunities elsewhere?
Why choose us as your next potential employer? Why this industry?
What is your ultimate career vision? How do you see yourself 3, 5, and 10 years
from now?
What do you think are your weaknesses as an employee and how do you manage
them?
Tell us a story about a challenge you encountered with a colleague at work and
how you overcame it.

Practicing what and how to answer these FAQs will not only increase your confidence
but also help you anticipate other questions that may be asked later.
I personally believe this is the part of the preparation process that must not be skipped at
all costs. Benjamin Franklin painfully reminds us all: By failing to prepare, you prepare
to fail. Remember that preparation breeds familiarity, and familiarity breeds confidence.
And when youre confident, you become an unstoppable force who knows nothing but
winning. (RELATED: How to be awesome at job interviews)
3. Dress to impress

Clothes will always set the tone

the moment you enter the
interview room. Consider
yourself as a gift and your
clothes as the gift wrapper. A
beautiful gift wrapper makes the
receiver excited, and more so when the quality of content matches the wrapper too! Aim
to look sharp on this special day as it might change your interviewers mood and
impressions. Indeed, we dont exaggerate when we say that looks can kill.
Manila stylist, Dette Lindres, who offers personal branding services to yuppies, suggests
that your choice of color is critical: white, black and blue are best suited for management
positions because they convey leadership and power. Purple and pastel colors meanwhile
convey creativity suited for artistic jobs. (READ: 23 looks to update your office
wardrobe)
Avoid loud colors like yellow or orange which can make you look unprofessional,she
adds. Finally, stick to classics: long-sleeves and slacks for males, and pencil skirt with
blouse or a one-piece dress in solid color. Wearing your favorite or lucky shirt that makes
you comfortable also helps.
4. Clean up your social media profile
When we say clean up, we assume that everyone in this world has his fair share of
incriminating posts on the Internet. Beware that HR recruiters check candidates profile
online and judge you based on what they see. Yes, first impressions might not reflect the
real you, but first impressions also last, so do your part to make a good one.
Do you have a public video on YouTube featuring your awesome drunk-dancing moves?
Delete those. Did you just describe yourself as Beyonces bootylicious twin on your
Twitter profile? Change that too, please.
Customizing your online profile to position yourself to a target audience is called ORP
(Online Reputation Management) which you can do either by yourself, or by hiring a
professional social media expert. Dont have a LinkedIn account yet or have one thats
incomplete with no profile picture? Thats part of ORP too that you shouldnt miss.
5. Ask and talk back
A job interview should never be a one-way street. Youre not just here to be tested by the
interviewer, youre also here to find out if the job is the right one for you (unless youre
desperate for a job which is a different story altogether).

There are many jobs out there that are advertised with beautiful adjectives but arent
really what they promise to be. This is your golden opportunity to find out its
authenticity. Consider asking the following questions:

What is the work culture in the company?

How big is this department and who will I report to? What is the scope of work of
my potential boss?
What is expected of the employee in her first 90 days at work?
What are other career opportunities in the company should I succeed in this role?

You might get indirect answers, but it is your duty to get clues about the position youre
taking. Will your working style match with the people? Is this a newly created position
that the company is experimenting on? Did someone resign perhaps because there was
just too much on her plate? Or did she leave a bad boss thats just waiting for his next
victim like you? Is this really a marketing job or a sales job disguised as marketing?
How much time will I be spending in the office or in the field?
Remember that this is your only window of opportunity to know your employer and your
job intimately before you say yes, so milk it!
When youre done with the interview
After youve sweat it out, dont forget to ask the interviewer for the next steps: will
someone contact you to give feedback, or should you follow-up in a weeks time
otherwise? There will be polite recruiters who generously inform you via e-mail about the
results and there will be some who expect you to understand that silence means Im
sorry. The key is to understand that everyones time is important, and making someone
wait (for nothing) is simply rude.
Finally, it is never the end of the world if you fail an interview. Just like love, there are
many factors to consider why both of you were never meant to be. As long as youve
done your best to prepare, use the defeat as a means to fuel your hunger to ace the next
one.
The worst thing to do is to lose hope immediately on Day 1 even if there are plenty of
fish in the sea. And when youre all primed and ready, say it with me: Im a gladiator. A
gladiator in a suit. Good luck!

I asked some folks from Southeast Asia to share their tips on how to prepare for an
interview. Heres what they had to say:
Reserve time to compose
yourself

There was one time when I was slightly late for an interview and this diminished my
confidence all throughout. I felt so guilty I couldnt concentrate on the questions. I
learned my lesson well: buffer at least an hour before the interview. This time is crucial
because it allows you to imagine yourself in the interview and doing everything right.
Mental preparation is always the key!
Julia Ho, 24, government analyst from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Say it in numbers, not just words
When talking about
achievements from your past
company, dont just say what
you did in words (e.g. I
successfully launched a new
product). Say it in numbers (ex. I
launched a new product that increased the companys annual sales by +20%). Recruiters
want to hear statistics and figures because it gives a more accurate measure of your
success.
Nica Marquez, 26, brand manager from Manila, Philippines
Turn the Tables Around
The best people to ask if the
company has great culture are its
own employees. I bravely ask
my interviewer about his
personal experiences in the
company: what he likes about it,
and how he has grown through the years. I check his body language and facial gestures
when he answers this question. Youll be amazed to get some clues if the company is
worth aspiring for.

MANILA, Philippines A job

interview isnt just about a set of
questions and a perfect set of
answers. Nerves, tension,
timing, moods all of these play
a part in how this might turn out.
(READ: 5 important tips for a great job interview)
The following are 10 questions tweeted to Rappler during a recent Twitter conversation
called #ScaryInterviewQuestions. A few suggestions for answers are also below,
particularly from Apprentice Asia winner and Rappler columnist Jonathan Yabut (follow
him on Twitter or Facebook), as well as professional coach and HR practitioner LA Cruz.

1. "Tell me about yourself."

#ScaryInterviewQuestions "Tell me about yourself " this make me sick. How to answer
huhu @rapplerdotcom
Rio Rodriguez (@whiowodwiguez) March 29, 2015

Lets start off nice and easy with this seemingly innocuous question. Its tricky be too
general and youll appear vague or safe, be too detailed and you might throw the
interview off-track.
With a question like this, your best bet is to be fully prepared with your answer way
before the interview, since you know theres a good chance itll be on the roster of
questions. Highlight your strengths and leadership attributes and value you can bring to
the company, says Coach LA.
Key tips:

Prepare your elevator pitch: In about 30 seconds, who you are, what youre
passionate about, what kind of role youre seeking. This should be about you and
highlights of your career or student life and interests, says Coach LA. And it
shouldn't be about how old you are and who your parents are, please!
Don't stray. HR practitioner John Bondoc says its important to keep your answer
to that focused on the role. Discuss info about you that matches the post you are
being considered, he suggests.
Heres an example from Jonathan to consider. "Im a passionate go-getter who
wants to make a dent on the universe. I hope to achieve that through this
company, and I do (state your role).

2. "What's your greatest weakness?"

@rapplerdotcom what do you say when you get asked "what's your greatest weakness"
#ScaryInterviewQuestions
Dane (@LANCHOnmeat) March 29, 2015
This was one of the more popular questions raised real-time. Talking about a weakness is
tricky. The safe route might be to go with something completely inoffensive like the
cliche Im a perfectionist, I have to get it right all the time!
Recruiters know when you answer the question by picking a strength and downplaying it
into a weakness, or picking a textbook "weakness." Call a spade a spade, and describe a
true opportunity area.
Sincerity plays a key role here. Really think about what you need to improve on, identify
how youre getting over it, and if that paved the way for some other skill to be developed.
One might say, for example, that he isnt a great listener but discovering that led him to
be more conscientious asking for feedback.
Be honest, not generic, to stand out, says Kash Shaikh, founder of the Be Somebody
movement, a call to action to go out and chase your passion.

Key tips:

Be honest. A good answer to this question comes from a place of self-awareness.

Specify an event that happens consistently. For example, too emotional, unable
to meet deadlines, suggests Jonathan. But also say you have resolved it. You
realized the impact and have recognized the problem.
No humblebrags (Im tired of winning all the time)! It doesnt work.

3. "Why should we NOT hire you?"

@jonathanyabut #ScaryInterviewQuestions @rapplerdotcom how about "why do you
think we should NOT hire you?"
t (@eykrystynn)March 29, 2015
Jonathan, LA, and I were surprised that this was one of the most common questions that
popped up in this conversation. Its likely an attempt to gauge how well you react to an
unforeseen question.
We usually ask Why we should hire you? and not the other way around, says Coach
LA. Maybe the interviewer just wants to see how quickly the candidate can think on his
feet.
Key tips:

Do not allow questions like these to throw you off thats what theyre
designed to do. Here are two strategies to attack this question:
o

Answer the question. Coach LA says you can bring up a few things that
might cause employers to think twice, like lack of experience then
countering that with a good quality, like being willing to learn. OR:
Challenge and counter. I would challenge him and say I prefer to talk
about positive things such as my strengths and how they can add value to
the company, says Jonathan. Said nicely, this might express that you
arent easily intimidated and are focused and engaged.

4. "What's your impression of me?"

"@rapplerdotcom: "If you get hired, I will be your boss. What is your initial impression
of me?" #scaryinterviewquestions" @eieiSicat
Dy (@eesseellaarr) March 29, 2015
This does feel like another question designed to rattle, doesnt it? Dont shrink away.
Understand this isnt personal. It's not the best question to ask a prospect, either, but
again, they might be looking to observe your reaction.

Key tips:

Stick to observations. Instead of going for adjectives, opt for objective things
that you observed instead. Talk about impressions on confidence, choice of
words of the boss, writes Jonathan on Twitter. Be constructive and not
judgmental in tone.
Take a moment. Caught off guard by this or any other question? Resist the urge
to speak first, thinking as you talk. Take a few seconds to compose yourself you
may come up with a passable answer in that time.

DEEP BREATHS. Hold tight.

Take the time to think it through

5. "What will you

do if you don't get
this job?"
@coachlacruz @jonathanyabut RT @rapplerdotcom: Here's a tough one: "What will you
do if you don't get this job?" #ScaryInterviewQuestions
The Rappler Team (@RapplerTeam) March 29, 2015
This was another question that popped up during the conversation, and I imagine it would
be quite intimidating to answer this, almost as if one were already anticipating a rejection.
Just as in the last two questions, remain unfazed this isn't personal, and it's unlikely to
be an indication that you won't get it. (READ: Georgina Wilson to fresh grads: Set
yourselves apart, give it your all)
"Show that you have a plan B and that you will continue to pursue other opportunities for
growth," writes Coach LA on Twitter.
The key here seems to be to show both passion and persistence that you know that you
are interested in the field and the industry (not just in that particular company) and that
you will keep trying even if you aren't selected the first time.

6. "How long do you intend to stay?"

@jonathanyabut how do u answer question like "how long do u intend to stay in this
job?" #ScaryInterviewQuestions
Nicholas Pang (@BubblyNick) March 29, 2015

Dont be pressured into giving an exact time period. You arent getting any assurances or
signed deals immediately in this interview its very nature is exploratory! So dont feel
like you need to commit a hard answer.
Heres a great answer from Jonathan, tweeted during the conversation: I intend to stay as
long as Im engaged and productive with my job, boss and company.
Short and sweet. Direct, confident, and thorough.

7. "What can you offer as a fresh grad?"

@rapplerdotcom #scaryinterviewquestions when asked by the interview on what can you
do for the company even if you're still fresh grad
Louisse Barcelona (@marialouissita) March 29, 2015
You may not have much experience, but it doesnt mean you have nothing to offer. The
youth are energetic, more optimistic, more tech-savvy and creative. They will do beyond
ordinary means to get something done. These are qualities that make fresh grads an
important asset for the company. You cant easily get that from other generations, says
Jonathan.
Age shouldnt obscure value.
Skills in navigating social media and new apps, for example, may come naturally to the
younger set. If this is true for you, take the extra effort to learn a little more, and youll
have something to bring to a working world thats evolving daily at an incredible speed.
(READ: 10 work resolutions for your career in 2015)
Key tips:

Reapply. What were your key successes back when you were in school? Did you
pull off a big event, use social media to raise money, run an organization? Soft
skills learned here hold water in the working world. Its up to you to draw those
parallels and show the interviewer what you might be able to do for the company.
Specificity is key. When discussing projects youve done in the past, make sure
you discuss concrete results pesos earned, followers gained, pageviews racked
up. the more specific you are, the more convincing the argument.

8. Why did you leave your last job? or Why are you
looking for another job?
#ScaryInterviewQuestions @rapplerdotcom What is the best way to justify/explain job
hopping?

 Joey Valeriano (@uglykidjoey) March 29, 2015

Employers ask this question to get a clearer picture of who you might be as an employee
and the circumstances of your departure from your last job but they can always check
that with your references.
Theyre also asking this to determine if youre someone who might not stay long enough
with the company after youve been trained.
If youve bounced around from job to job and have yet to demonstrate that you can stick
with a company for some time, growing while at the same time contributing growth,
youll have to work a little harder at the interview. In fact, job-hopping was listed in a
recent study by Jobstreet as one of employers main pet peeves about fresh grads in the
Philippines. (READ: #HowIQuit: Jimmy Fallon reads stories about people quitting their
jobs)
Like in the question on weaknesses, sincerity is key. Nothing wrong with job-hopping if
youre after career growth, new roles that excite you, et cetera, says Jonathan. People
settle down once they find right company offering the best career path.
Coach LA has this warning: If [youre looking] because of other reasons, be honest.
Remember, background checks can be done.
Key tips:

Sample answers to ponder. I want to stretch myself, explore new opportunities

for career growth, was Jonathans answer to this question. There are a lot of great
answers (and the thinking behind them) in this article by Liz Ryan on Forbes.
o

Heres one of them: I knew that I was ready for a change, but I didnt
want to take my focus off the job if I were going to keep working there. So
I did what I believe was the right thing and left the job, to allow them to
get someone who was in it for the long haul and to allow myself some
time to ponder my next steps.

Keep it clean. Dont be tricked into trash-talking a former employer or colleague.

If you blame your current employer for your dissatisfaction, it'll send up a red
flag, as the hiring manager will assume you wouldn't be discreet about them,
either, says career expert Lynn Taylor, in this article from Business Insider.
(READ: 'I hate my boss!': 5 tips to deal)

The key is for it to sound real and personal not canned. A textbook answer might be
expected, but it won't make much of an impact. So practice, but make sure the answer is
authentic.

9. What would make you resign from a company?"

"What are the things that would actually make you leave the company?" @rapplerdotcom
#ScaryInterviewQuestions
Goldie Manalili (@goldiemiers) March 29, 2015
Just say it straight, without the bells and whistles. Its intimidating to talk about things
that will make you leave when youre interviewing for a job you really want. But being
able to do so eloquently shows a company what you really value and its also good for
you to know about these dealbreakers yourself. (READ: 4 undeniable signs that it's time
to quit your job)
Just a few examples from Jonathan: A bad boss, a company that doesnt value talent
development, and a culture of inciting fear versus rewards to make people work hard.
Coach LA says, Limited to no career growth/learning will be factors for me to consider
leaving the company. This shows your hunger to continuously grow and develop as a
professional."

10. "Do you have any questions for me?"

@jonathanyabut @rapplerdotcom @wyattcaraway @coachlacruz Ask questions about
the job you're applying for. No questions = not interested.
Nelson Caparas (@nelson_caparas) March 29, 2015
Before going into how to answer this question, heres an important fact. Never say no
when you are asked this question. There's no doubt candidates who ask questions have a
better chance at landing their dream job, writes Jerome Ternynck, founder and CEO of
SmartRecruiters, on Inc.com.
In that article, he shares the best questions hes heard from prospective employees,
including What role will I fill? and a follow-up, Why does this role matter to the
growth of the company?
Dont ask the question for the sake of filling in that dead air. There must be something
you really would like to know. Is this role old or new? Whats the company doing
differently than others? Whats the companys stance on an important issue that directly
impacts them?
Here are a few examples from Jonathan:

How big is the team / Who do I report to? This gives you an idea of your boss's
work scope and resources.
If I succeed in this role, what is the career path I can take (managerial role,
assignment to a different country for international exposure, etc)?
What is expected of me in my first 90 days?

Why was this role vacated?

What is the company culture?

Aside from all this, you should be ready to describe situations in your working or student
life, including your proudest achievement, a time you disagreed with your teammates, the
biggest challenge you encountered in a project, et cetera. In these cases, establish the
necessary backstory, briefly say what you did, and most importantly (linger here)
discuss the results.
Keep the energy up the interviewer will sense tension and nerves (a wet handshake, a
too-soft voice, for example) and that might set the tone.
The conversation should flow between two people, so embrace spontaneous moments
the bits where humor and lightness peek through.
The company is sizing you up but you are also sizing them up. Twitter user Goldie
Manalili (@goldiemiers) puts it succinctly: Just talk with full sincerity and don't be
overconfident.
So does user Adrienne (@aidz03): Remember that an interview is still a conversation.
It's an opportunity for you to get to know your potential employer.
Keep this as a guide, but ultimately, your answers to these questions should come from
you. Anything else might sound artificial. Your dream job, or even your first job, deserves
better, and so do you. Rappler.com

5 things employers hate about

hiring fresh grads
Yikes! Read on to find out what they are
Rappler.com

Published 3:43 PM, March 25, 2015

Updated 3:43 PM, March 25, 2015
MANILA, Philippines Aiming to be this year's stand-out applicant?
Jobstreet surveyed 450 companies to learn more about opportunities for fresh grads in
2015. The results of the Jobs and Salary Report were recently released here's what
employers said bothered them about fresh grads:
1. Hopping from one job to another

JOB-HOPPERS. Illustration by Nico Villarete/Rappler

According to Jobstreet, many employers think that the fresh graduates cant settle long
enough in a job. This may be due to the fact that millennials love to try out and
experiment different careers at one time.
Fresh grads are jobhoppers they dont stay, theyre not loyal. Medyo mahirap sila i-full
training kasi (It's sort of hard to give full training because) maybe after 6 months, they
will move on to the next job, said Eileen Camarillo, Jobstreet's Marketing Manager.
While job-hopping may be a trial and error experiment on the part of the (future)
employee, it does take its toll on the company involved especially considering the costs
of hiring one new employee, including the training period and the equipment a new hire
will be using.
In a Fortune article called "How long should you stay at a job?", Michael O. Church says
that staying for about 18 months will tell you a lot about a job.

"You survived at least one review cycle reviews are presumed to be annual, and people
arent reviewed until 6 months old; thats where the 18-month derivation comes from
and had to achieve something to be retained for that long," he wrote.
It's a matter of balancing your own needs against the company's. In your mind, you come
first. But if you're counting on leaving the job very soon, you may not end up being the
best option for the company. (READ: 4 undeniable signs that it's time to quit your job)
2. "Poor communication skills"

Illustration by Nico
Villarete/Rappler
Employers feel that
our fresh grads are not
articulate enough, or
they dont have that basic communication skill to express themselves properly, said
Camarillo.
Ironing out a conflict, clarifying the technicalities of a project, asking a question about a
point you aren't sure about these are all situations you'll encounter at work, and these
are all situations requiring good communication skills.
These may not be as developed yet as a fresh grad a point of concern and sometimes a
source of conflict between a company and its new hires. Pay attention to workplace
dynamics as you move forward, and read up on ways to approach tricky situations at
work. (READ: I hate my boss: 5 tips to deal)
3. High expectations

HIGH
EXPECTATIONS.
Illustration by Nico
Villarete/Rappler
They have high
expectations, usually. Unrealistic ang expectations sa salary at sa [job] position, said
Camarillo.

(They [fresh grads] have high expectations, usually. The expectations for salary and job
positions are unrealistic.)
It's not that you shouldn't learn how to negotiate, but know also that as you acquire
functional-technical skills at work, your value in the job market increases, and you'll be
better equipped to ask for a raise next time.
4. Flexibility issues

MR. WORKPLACE
ROBOTO. Illustration
by Nico
Villarete/Rappler
Parang kung ano
lang ang job responsibility nila na sinasabi sa ating mga employers, yun lang ang
gagawin ng fresh grads, explained Camarillo, saying that many fresh grads rarely go the
extra mile.
(Whatever job responsibility the employers give, that is only what these fresh grads do,
and nothing more.)
In an Inc article called "5 ways to motivate yourself to work harder," Jessica Stillman
writes that instead of motivation, view work as an investment in good habits:
"Start with small habits that help you be more productive and make you feel good. For
example, you could aim to walk 15 minutes a day or work in short bursts of intense focus.
[...]whichever term you use, the effect is the same automating a behavior by integrating
it into your routine means you rely less on willpower."
Remember that the employees are not meant to become robots, but are aiming to develop
and grow. It might not be about just doing more work it could be about finding new
ways to do old routines or spotting more cost-efficient alternatives to whatthe company's
spending on. Often, these are discovered via someone's fresh perspective. Why can't it be
yours?
5. Lack of professionalism

LATE. Illustration by Nico Villarete/Rappler

Many employers feel that fresh grads have no regard for rules in the workplace
examples of this are tardiness, improper dress code, and constant absences.
In a Business Insider article called "6 things everyone needs to stop doing at work,"
Emmie Martin suggested some things to stop doing during work hours, which includes
constantly unnecessarily checking social media.
"Scrolling through Instagram or catching up on your Facebook newsfeed only distracts
you during the workday," she writes.
There are other opportunities to display professionalism at work at meetings, with other
colleagues, even via your work wardrobe. Seize them all and let nothing slip through the
cracks. (READ: 23 looks to update your office wardrobe)
