for you job seekers out there. when you applied for a job did you memorize interview questions and answers? like

How would you describe yourself?

Sample excellent response:
My background to date has been centered around preparing myself to become the very best financial consultant I can become. Let me tell you specifically how I've prepared myself. I am an undergraduate student in finance and accounting at _________ University. My past experiences has been in retail and higher education. Both aspects have prepared me well for this career.

im starting to script my interview answers

 

I do also. But you can only do that with generic questions. Dont get stump when they ask you a more specific question h:

 

I did that in the past but usually it makes things harder on yourself to try to memorize lines about facts that you should know off the top of your head. I've done better on interviews that were pretty much improv.

 

some yeah... like what are your 3 weakness

1- to delagate I have a hard time cause i like to keep in control of everything
2- hard time deconnecting from work when i get home i find my self thinking of work alot
3- chocolate i'm fat and i eat too much of it:exnbp:

 

I wouldn't memorize a specific statement to say since a few things could go wrong. First this is if you do remember it al, it can sound very rehearsed and impersonal. Secondly, if you are reciting your statement and you forget a part of it you may stumble and try to think of the ext word that comes after it.

The best thing that you can do is to remember bullet points of what you want to say. Don't memorize an exact answer but know exactly how you would answer the question. This will go a lot further than morizing a specific statement.

 

when I interview someone I would easily catch people who memorize their stuff and ask a question that will stump them

 

I interviewed someone and hated their scripted responses. I then asked them something totally out of the blue, which threw them completely off.

"if you could be on the internet right now, where would you be and why?"

The tool couldn't even make something up.

 

memorization is sooooooooo not worth it.
