A continuación, te explicamos cómo puedes abordar las preguntas difíciles de una entrevista como un profesional.

I guess the answer lies in the question itself … In the first place what makes a question difficult to answer?? Invariably the belief to always have the right answer, the internal need to show up / the urge to squeeze in the organisational culture as it appears promising or could be a dire need for a job/ placement. Honestly no organisation is expecting the right answer? What the interviewer is looking at is “ your unique answer “, “your own story or your perspective to a particular situation. So what helps most is a deep understanding of your own core values and being authentic in your answering not worrying about righteousness. Vimp: it’s absolutely fine to say that one does not have a ready answer or would need some reflection time.

Deep listening and understanding the vision and cultural framework of the organisation is the first step. Avoid rushing into answering : you may ask the interviewer to share more / go deeper in the context. Feel free to ask questions for better clarity and paraphrase your understanding to ensure that you have understood the intent of the question correctly. Through your conversation share your study about what areas of the organisational culture have attracted you providing examples/ statistics. Freely share your thoughts/ ideas if you think you could add further value to the context that been discussed. Be vulnerable to share some approaches that you have never tried but eager to explore. “Highlight the learner’s mindset”

Mindfulness is the key for a good conversation during an interview. Listen to your inner voice rather than focusing on the mood/ tone/ expressions, responses of the interviewer. Your own judgments / assumptions and beliefs about self and / or the interviewer can make your mind time travel and distract you from the conversation Keep breathing gently, sip some water if needed, take a pause, narrow down your thoughts, listen to your answer in your own head first and then answer.. Silence is golden and does not mean that you are not enough .. in fact it establishes trust about your reflecting skills … You can also say .. “As I reflecting on your question, these are some things that come to my mind. What could I specifically elaborate upon ?”
