<\/span><\/h2>\nOf course, no matter how prepared you are, you can and probably will run into a question that will stump you. It can be about facts and figures about the industry that are hard to explain on demand. It can be about a new trend that your interviewer is very keen on but you weren\u2019t able to learn about it. In fact, it can be as common a question like, \u201cWhat\u2019s your greatest weakness?\u201d or \u201cWhy should we hire you?\u201d In these cases, what you should always remember is to give a well thought-out answer. If you need a bit of time to think about your answer, ask your interviewer for it. Give yourself a few seconds to collect your thoughts and don\u2019t impulsively throw out words that may mean the end of the line for your application. Unfortunately for Moreno, she gave in to these impulsive instincts, and her being unprepared made everything worse. When she heard Davila say \u201canti-discrimination<\/em>,\u201d she re-exclaimed the word \u201cdiscrimination\u201d and tried to capitalize on it without giving a proper answer as to why she\u2019s against same-sex marriage but (kind of) supports the anti-discrimination<\/em> policy. She also did the same when she blurted out “control” and the all-too-famous “PILLS!”<\/p>\n![\"dont-be-an-alma-moreno-in-your-next-job-interview\"](\"https:\/\/neo-blog.kalibrr.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/dont-be-an-alma-moreno-in-your-next-job-interview.gif\")
<\/p>\n
And in all this, Moreno fails to elaborate well on any of her views, leaving the audience to wonder: What does she really mean? What does she want to say? Most of all, what exactly are her \u201creservations\u201d on the RH Bill (which she never mentions at all)? This is not what you want the voters to think. As for you, this is not what you want your interviewer to think. Good interviewers and recruiters will know if you\u2019re faking it, or if you\u2019re just trying to lengthen your answers to look smart. Davila did, and interview novice Moreno got a ruthless interrogation from the experienced journalist.<\/p>\n
<\/span>Not Respecting The Interviewer’s Time And Effort<\/span><\/h2>\nGo back to the video (which we conveniently put below this paragraph). Start watching the video at 9:43, where Karen Davila asks Alma Moreno on what the latter\u2019s advocacy will be if she gets elected into Senate. By this point, Moreno had been stumbling on her words in responding to Davila, and Davila seems to be getting impatient with Moreno\u2019s beating around the bush.<\/p>\n
