WALK ME THROUGH YOUR RESUME! (A GOOD Answer to this INTERVIEW QUESTION!)

#walkmethroughyourresume #jobinterviewtips #interviewquestions
At the start of your job interview, the hiring manager is likely to say to you: Walk me Through your Resume, or WALK ME THROUGH YOUR CV! It can be a challenge trying to understand what to say, and also what NOT to say.
Here are some important tips for helping you to walk through your resume with confidence...

The interviewer is asking you to walk through your resume, for 2 reasons:
REASON NUMBER 1 – They have not had the time to look at your resume in detail. Therefore, by getting you to read through it for them, it saves them time.
REASON NUMBER 2 – They want to hear whether you have any experience in your employment history that is a match for the job description!

5 TIPS FOR WALKING THROUGH YOUR RESUME…
TIP #1 - Read your resume at least one day before your interview.

TIP #2 - Take your resume with you to the interview, but don’t read from it directly.

TIP #3 - Start at the beginning of your career and work towards the present day.

TIP #4 - Quickly skip through any jobs where you didn’t gain skills that are relevant to the job you are applying for.

TIP #5 - Focus in greater detail on the jobs where you gained useful and transferrable skills, qualities and experience.

HOW TO ANSWER THE INTERVIEW QUESTION - WALK ME THROUGH YOUR RESUME and WALK ME THROUGH YOUR CV:
1. Talk through your employment history in chronological order.
2. Skip over any jobs where the experience gained is not relevant to the job you are being interviewed for.
3. Focus in detail on any jobs where you gained valuable skills, qualities and experiences that match the job description.
4. Talk about the HIGHLIGHTS of your career to date.
5. Reference any courses or qualifications you have gained that are applicable to the job.
6. Give a closing statement that is positive, and that reaffirms you have the experience and skills needed to perform to a high standard in this role.

What happens if you are interviewed, are given the general questions pertaining to the position you are applying for, but they begin to ask questions outside of those questions. Is it like a gauge for them? Like it went from general questions to specific off my resume questions. Which of your previous jobs did you like the most, what do you like about your current job and don’t like about it, how would you fare working with 40+ people but prior to that they ask how many i currently work for. I don’t want to read much into it but can’t help it. Lol.
