Trouble with going into detail and explaining things

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone here have this? Like say I was going for a job interview and they ask, for example, "why should we hire you", I would just be like "because I think working here will be fun"..... What else is there to say?

I never now what else to say or how to properly go into detail about stuff.....

BTW, I'm not an aspie, I just have this issue.

Um, I think you're supposed to say something about what you think you could do for the company. When I apply for jobs, I have to say stuff about what exactly I'd do on the job, and I was also asked similar questions in a job interview. So you need to show that you understand what the job is about and express how you'd dedicate yourself to its cause. But maybe with questions like that they're also looking for some kind of subtle nonverbal cue that you would not be worth hiring.

Here are the 7 things Investopedia says you should say.

1. I am very familiar with what your company does.
2. I am flexible.
3. I am energetic and have a positive attitude.
4. I have a great deal of experience.
5. I am a team player.
6. I am seeking to become an expert in my field.
7. I am highly motivated.

I also have the same problems going into detail, like I can see it in my mind but cant put it into words

You didn't get that job. They wanted to hear "I will live to please you, & cheaper than anyone else" w/ a list of qualifications suggesting your training will be a short one. Next.

I think the key thing is to imagine that YOU had the job of selecting between multiple candidates--how would you know which ones to pick? You would probably have a list of criteria quite similar to the Investopedia list. You would probably ask questions that were meant to reveal the candidate's answers and personality. Once you realize that this is the job the interviewer is doing, you can understand that you can be helpful as an applicant by supplying the right kind of answers.

In addition to writing down and practicing discussing points 1 through 7, you could think up additional short narratives to support these points and look for opportunities to bring them up.

It's also a good idea to have some relevant questions about the company--you can also think of these questions as opportunities to further reinforce points 1-7.
