The Greatest and Best Question To Ask A Interviewer To Get Him To Remember You!?

Question

We all know that you should ask questions about the nature of your job and more information on the company; however, I want to ask the interview one question that will help to remember the interview me. Why? Something to help the interviewer remember me a little bit extra over the other interviewers that day

Any ideas?

Answer 1

You won't win an interwiew comp with jokes or saying something clever and rehearsed. You are selling yourself. Its like approaching a girl. Play it cool. be yourself. Be professional and be charming and smile and laugh a little at their jokes. Try and get details about yourself personally into the conversation a little so you sound human and professionally just answer the questions and take your time from out of your head. And show a professional interest in the company and ask questions that actually interest YOU not what you think they want to hear. Theywill have plenty of candidates sucking up about how great the company is- boring and no one is impressed by a suck up.

One thing I WOULD say at the end is: Mr X...I am very hungry for this job and I will do whatever it takes to make a success out of it.

Also at some stage in the conversation you might indicate you are good at carrying out instructions and can't understand other workers who just do their own thing (that would be emploers no 1 peeve)

Answer 2

What would you say would be the most important attribute to possess for somebody suited for this position?
They're so used to people just saying that they have no questions, that just to have a thought-provoking question would make an impression.
Remember though that HR personnel often dislike lengthy interviews, so if it's a departmental head then go for it, but HR...maybe not. Just be cheerful and that would be enough.

Answer 3

I use to be a H&R mgr and the people that impressed me were the following:

1. clean, simple, clear cut, 1 page resume
2. early/on time for interview and prepared w/ paper, pen
3. no bad talking about others, past companies, etc
4. person that is calm, confident and not squirming in their chair
5. person I can just relate with, talk with and not be stuck up formal.

normally would only find 1 per 100...but they always got the job.

Answer 4

If interviewing for a Tobacco Company: Do you have a light?

If interviewing for an Environmental Company: Do you have any organic tea?

If interviewing for a French company: Do you have any Perrier?

If interviewing for a Russian company: Do you have any Vodka?

If interviewing for the U.S. Government: Do you have anything open in Iraq?

Answer 5

I am in agreement with Oz Billy.
After all, your going to be working with, or close to the guy who is interviewing you.
I am also if favor of others. Brown nosing works. Say something like "Do you watch sports? Do you watch the superbowl?" "Who do you think will win the Super Bowl?" "What do you think of those blah blah blahs, think they'll do any good this year?"

Family Guy:
"Great tie, where did you get it?"
"This tie, I hate it"
"Now that I look at it, it is horrible. Gotta go."

"How do you like the weather we've been having lately"
"I hate it. Nonstop sunshine"
"Your absolutley right! We really need a change in the weather"

Answer 6

Ask if he would have a problem with you working extra hours at first, to learn the job, and if also would be willing to share some of his expertise with you.

Answer 7

Ask the interviewer-What is the best thing about working here?

That'll knock him off his toes!

Answer 8

Try:

"why did the chicken cross the road?"

or

"if a cow laughed really hard would milk come out of its nose?"

Answer 9

"Why did the last person who held the position leave?"

"What's your greatest weakness as a supervisor?"

"can I sleep with your secretary?"
