Welcome back for another
round of What Would You Say.

00:00:12.770 --> 00:00:14.690
Now, Billy, are you ready to play?

00:00:14.690 --> 00:00:16.250
>> I'm ready.

00:00:16.250 --> 00:00:19.510

00:00:26.380 --> 00:00:27.470
OK, Billy.

00:00:27.470 --> 00:00:30.380
The game is toughest interview questions.

00:00:30.380 --> 00:00:32.130
I'm going to ask you some questions.

00:00:32.130 --> 00:00:34.300
Three wrong answers and you're out, OK?

00:00:34.300 --> 00:00:35.000
Are you ready?

00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:35.570
>> I'm ready.

00:00:35.570 --> 00:00:36.640
>> Alright.

00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:39.620
Question one: tell me about yourself.

00:00:39.620 --> 00:00:40.770
>> Well, like how do you mean?

00:00:40.770 --> 00:00:42.340
I'm from Mississippi.

00:00:42.340 --> 00:00:44.930
I'm 6'2". I have three brothers.

00:00:44.930 --> 00:00:47.120
I love lasagna, who doesn't?

00:00:47.120 --> 00:00:52.240
Let's see, I'm a Taurus,
although I act like a Gemini.

[ Buzzer Sounds ]

00:00:54.470 --> 00:00:55.250
>> Sorry, Billy.

00:00:55.250 --> 00:00:56.720
That's not what we're looking for.

00:00:56.720 --> 00:00:59.380
Let's head back to the studio for the answer.

00:00:59.380 --> 00:01:03.940
>> Yeah, sorry Billy, we were looking for you
to highlight your most important accomplishments

00:01:03.940 --> 00:01:09.510
and to explain how your past experiences
will bring you success in this new job.

00:01:09.510 --> 00:01:11.690
Back to you, Maggie!

00:01:11.690 --> 00:01:12.720
>> OK, Billy.

00:01:12.720 --> 00:01:14.370
Plenty of questions left.

00:01:14.370 --> 00:01:15.250
Don't worry.

00:01:15.250 --> 00:01:19.600
Question two: what is your greatest weakness?

00:01:19.600 --> 00:01:20.880
>> My greatest weakness.

00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:24.660
Well, my friends would say I talk too much,
but they don't want to carry on a conversation.

00:01:24.660 --> 00:01:26.580
So, what am I supposed to do?

00:01:26.580 --> 00:01:30.100
I go through things throughout the day and I
want to share those experiences with people.

00:01:30.100 --> 00:01:33.160
For instance, last night I
wanted to make an avocado salad,

00:01:33.160 --> 00:01:35.570
so I went to the grocery store
and I bought some avocados--

00:01:35.570 --> 00:01:36.680
>> OK, well that's great.

00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:37.090
We can--

00:01:37.090 --> 00:01:39.940
>> They weren't the freshest
avocados, but they were pretty good.

00:01:39.940 --> 00:01:43.010
And then I had some friends over and we
watched reruns of Burn Notice all night.

00:01:43.010 --> 00:01:45.010
>> OK, that sounds like a great night, yeah.

[ Buzzer Sounds ]

00:01:46.450 --> 00:01:49.560
Oh! Billy, that's not the correct answer.

00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:52.530
Let's go back to the studio.

00:01:55.310 --> 00:01:59.470
>> Alright Maggie, what Billy should have done
here is to mention a skill that wasn't critical

00:01:59.470 --> 00:02:04.790
to the job at hand or a former negative
trait that he's since improved upon.

00:02:04.790 --> 00:02:07.440
Back to the street.

00:02:07.440 --> 00:02:08.730
>> OK, Billy.

00:02:08.730 --> 00:02:13.580
You've got two Xs which means
you only have one life left.

00:02:13.580 --> 00:02:16.450
Answer this wrong and you're out of the game.

00:02:16.450 --> 00:02:23.800
Question three: Please explain
this time gap in your work history.

00:02:23.800 --> 00:02:25.780
>> Well, I really wanted to do some good.

00:02:25.780 --> 00:02:29.680
So, I took the year off and I
worked to help raise awareness

00:02:29.680 --> 00:02:32.210
for domestic violence and its victims.

00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:37.750
>> Billy, you're not going to
believe this; that was correct!

00:02:37.750 --> 00:02:39.940
>> Well, Billy really nailed this one.

00:02:39.940 --> 00:02:43.810
You want to emphasize the constructive
things you did on your time off,

00:02:43.810 --> 00:02:48.050
such as volunteering or continuing
your education.

00:02:48.050 --> 00:02:54.480
Other possible answers include if you took
time off for personal reasons that have

00:02:54.480 --> 00:03:00.040
since been resolved; if you took
time off to have fun or travel,

00:03:00.040 --> 00:03:06.040
you'll want to show solid productivity
or projects completed before you left;

00:03:06.040 --> 00:03:10.430
and if the gap is the result of being
fired, show the employer that your reasons

00:03:10.430 --> 00:03:14.560
for termination have been dealt with
and won't affect future performance.

00:03:14.560 --> 00:03:15.710
Now, back to you, Maggie.

>> I'm going to stop you right there.

00:03:37.420 --> 00:03:40.390
I'm pretty sure that's not the correct answer.

Sorry, Billy.

00:03:41.860 --> 00:03:46.500
>> Ouch. You never want to make disparaging
remarks about previous employers.

00:03:46.500 --> 00:03:52.530
Go the safe route and say something objectively
problematic such as outdated technology.

00:03:52.530 --> 00:03:54.960
Back to you, Maggie.

00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:56.390
>> Well, that'll do it.

hopefully you learned some valuable tips.
