00:00:00.001 --> 00:00:03.714
Be specific. Some
companies track how well

00:00:03.715 --> 00:00:06.194
different methods of
advertising for positions

00:00:06.195 --> 00:00:10.363
work for them. If a current
employee of the company (or

00:00:10.364 --> 00:00:13.585
someone the interviewer
knows) recommended you, by

00:00:13.586 --> 00:00:15.783
all means, name names!

00:00:16.361 --> 00:00:19.567
Some companies have
regulations about relatives

00:00:19.567 --> 00:00:23.805
working for or with each
other. Be honest. If the

00:00:23.806 --> 00:00:26.313
employer finds out later
that your cousin is your

00:00:26.314 --> 00:00:29.853
supervisor, it may mean
immediate dismissal.

00:00:30.568 --> 00:00:33.685
To answer this question
effectively, you must know

00:00:33.686 --> 00:00:37.092
what the company's goals
are. Before your interview,

00:00:37.093 --> 00:00:40.127
you should ask about the
company's mission statement,

00:00:40.128 --> 00:00:42.807
which will clue you into
their goals.

00:00:43.307 --> 00:00:46.426
Talk about what makes you
qualified for the position.

00:00:46.427 --> 00:00:50.393
Also, if a company employee
recommended that you apply,

00:00:50.394 --> 00:00:51.876
name name.

00:00:52.376 --> 00:00:54.764
The interviewer wants to
know what makes this

00:00:54.765 --> 00:00:57.087
company stand out in your
mind.
