00:00:00.001 --> 00:00:02.989
Be wary of this 
seemingly simple question. 

00:00:02.989 --> 00:00:05.311 
Even if you have a
pounding headache

00:00:05.311 --> 00:00:08.607
or are terribly nervous,
sound upbeat and confident.

00:00:09.438 --> 00:00:12.621
Even if you have got lost
five times, do not

00:00:12.621 --> 00:00:15.527
complain. You should
always ask for specific

00:00:15.527 --> 00:00:17.437
directions before
the interview.

00:00:18.468 --> 00:00:21.322
Unless you are parched,
refrain from drinking

00:00:21.322 --> 00:00:23.954
anything (especially
alcoholic beverages)

00:00:23.954 --> 00:00:26.733
during the interview.
There is a chance you could

00:00:26.733 --> 00:00:28.926
spill your drink on yourself
or the interviewer.

00:00:29.711 --> 00:00:33.573
A great question! Use
action verbs and powerful

00:00:33.573 --> 00:00:36.823
adjectives. Plan an answer
to this question in

00:00:36.823 --> 00:00:40.140
advance -- otherwise, you
might be stumped if

00:00:40.140 --> 00:00:42.638
you're put on the spot
during the interview.

00:00:43.138 --> 00:00:46.689
Come up with an answer to
this one before you get

00:00:46.690 --> 00:00:49.450
into the interview. If you
try to answer it on the

00:00:49.451 --> 00:00:53.394
spot, you may be stumped.
Develop a list of adjectives

00:00:53.394 --> 00:00:56.174
that describe you in a way
that would be attractive to

00:00:56.174 --> 00:00:59.664
potential employers.
Stick to the amount of words

00:00:59.664 --> 00:01:03.602
the interviewer allots you.
Do not elaborate unless you

00:01:03.602 --> 00:01:04.330
are asked.
