DRUM NEWSLETTER
October 2009 Edition
Fourth quarter is
always a "tricky"
quarter…but even more so in this economy. With several holidays effecting the viable work days in November and December, companies are
figuring out how to plan accordingly. They are questioning if the economy
will come back to a level where they should be focusing their efforts on
new hires, strategically moving staff into other positions or conserving
their budgets for the "what-ifs" that companies know all too
well these days. Whatever the
scenario plays out to be- the
good news is that most economists are in agreement that the worst is behind
us.

8 Interview Questions & Answers for Older Workers
Saturday, October 31, 2009
Here are eight sticky questions that older job candidates often encounterâ€"with several appropriate responses to each:
"You appear to be overqualified for this position. Won't you get bored?"
• " You are an excellent company. You deserve excellence in employees. "
• " Experience is a great premium today. "
• " There is a greater return on your money if I hit the ground running. Less training time."
"This company is on the fast track. Do you think that you can keep up?"
• " I have stayed on top of the industry and am computer literate. " (Use this opportunity to showcase any training classes or courses you have taken.)
• Consider hitting this question head-on by stating politely that you have not noticed any slowdown or stagnancy in attitude or energy.
"This is a completely different industry than you were in before. Can you tell us how you will transfer your skills?"
• " I have accessed your website and have read everything about your company. " (Then, draw some analogy to a previous area of expertise, and relate it to the new company's product or service.)
"I have noticed that you have been out of work for over six months. Can you explain this break in employment?"
• " I tried retirement, and it's not for me. I am a do-er and like to be active. I feel I have many more years of productivity left. "
• " I am looking for something different. I am fortunate to be in a position to take time to make sure this job is right for both of us. "
• " I have used this time to brush up (or learn) a new skill, and now I am ready to contribute my knowledge and expertise to a viable company such as yours. "
"Why do you think you are qualified for this job? I don't see where you have experience that would match our business needs."
• " My excitement at learning new things never diminishes. With my work experience, I know I will be a quick learner. "
• Take this opportunity to point out any skills you have added to your repertoire.
Identify a skill you have, and align it to something you would need to do on the new job.
"Your resume indicates you have worked at a lot of different places. Can you comment on that?"
• " Each of those positions broadened my knowledge and skill base. Each was a promotion. "
• " It does appear that way, but, in the last 10 years, the economy has been such that mergers have forced a number of us to realize our potential in various environments. " (Always turn a perceived negative into a real positive!)
"You were with your last company for 19 years. Can you change the way you did things?"
• " I am looking for change! "
• " My last company underwent many changes during that time, and I enjoyed trying new things and ideas. " (Show examples whenever possible.)
"We are on the cutting edge of technology. Can you keep up?"
• Again reinforce skills, classes/courses and upgrades you have had. You may need to mention this several times and in as many different ways as possible to overcome their doubt.
"I see you have been a consultant. Does that just mean you were out of work?"
• " My old company brought me back on contract to complete several projects, which I did â€" and now I want to see if there is something more exciting out there. "
• " I understand lots of people are calling themselves consultants while they look for a new position. " (Laugh â€" sometimes, it's OK to insert a little bit of levity.)
"What do you think you are worth since you have been in the work world so long?"
• Never respond with a specific dollar amount. Affirm that you have vast skills and experience. Indicate that you are either willing to start over to show them what you bring to the table or deserving of top dollar. Either way, be confident.
• Ask them what dollar amount is allocated for the position in this year's budget.
• Ask if they are offering you the job!
