WHAT HIRING MANAGERS WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU
More honesty. What you like and don’t like. Give your opinions! Everyone’s excellent at something. What are
you excellent at? Show your depth of knowledge. What interests you about the job. How you will bring your passion to the job. Want to see you’re excited about what you
can do for them. Ask them tough questions. 10

WHY HAVE YOU BEEN OUT OF WORK FOR 2 YEARS?
