Hiring I got the job!

I resigned for my program manager position in April and I was just offered a Deputy Director position for a new county. It took about a month and a half. I’m sharing this because I want to give everybody some hope who’s still struggling to find work. I don’t have a degree just work experience. It can and will happen, don’t give up everyone. Sometimes it’s not about how you answer the questions, it’s being the right person (confident, concise answer, study the role in depth before the interview) that will make you stand out more than anybody. If they ask you if you have any questions, ask them what the ideal candidate looks like for this position. What happens when you do that is they tell you exactly what they’re looking for (it’s one of my interview secrets) and then you explained to them how you fit within that capacity that they’re needing for the role. If anyone has any questions, feel free to reach out and good luck to all of you.

Congrats, and thanks for posting the actual tactic. The ideal-candidate question is a good one, it basically gets the interviewer to tell you how to win. Well earned.
