Don’t Say This In an Interview

Video Transcription

Brothers and sisters in arms, Mike Sarrialle from CareerRecon. I’m back.

One of the questions you’re going to get asked in an interview is: “Why are you applying for this job?”

Yes, we all get out of the military at some point, but you still have aspirations in life, and they should revolve around the job that you’re interviewing for.

Let’s start with what is not a good answer: “Well, I’m retiring or separating out of the military I need to get a job.”

That is not a good answer, your answer should be around the passion that you have for that potential role, the passion to come in and become part of the team in the organization to drive results in the value that you provide.

Yes, we all get out of the military at some point, but you still have aspirations in life, and they should revolve around the job that you’re interviewing for. And you need to articulate that.

Alright, guys. Hope that helps. Mike Sarrialle out.
