More Episodes

Today's episode is a continuation of last week's episode with Kendrick Mostellar.

 

After 12 years, she finally landed her dream job in medical sales.

 

Kendrick said you need to constantly seek input to improve your interview skills.

 

If you'd like help with interviewing go to my website at gethiredinmedicalsales.com to sign up for a FREE call.

 

The only way to handle tricky interview questions is to practice.

 

She gave an example of when she was asked, "Do you love to win or hate to lose?" There is not necessarily a correct answer to that question.

 

What matters is how you think through the question and the story you can tell when you answer it.

 

We also talked about the "weed out questions." These are questions they ask when they're trying to "weed out" applicants and find the best one or two in the pool.

 

During the interview, they want to test and push you. They want to make sure you can think on your feet so they know that when you get in front of a doctor or a surgeon, you will be able to handle any questions they may ask.

 

Their only way to measure you under pressure is to conduct the interview in such a way that you have to be prepared and be able to think on your feet.

 

Pro Tip: Be calm enough to think about their motive and speak to the deeper meaning. Another way to say it is, "What is the question behind the question?"
