MKTG Week 5 WCYP Chapter4



Chapter 4 in What Color is Your Parachute is about interviewing tips. I would like to talk about two tips I was unaware of and they were the 50-50 rule and 20 seconds to 2 minute rule. These are just two of the 16 tips the book gives you on the interviewing process.
The 50-50 rule basically is split your time talking and listening to 50% each. When interviewing make sure to talk by answering their questions but also give the interviewer time to explain things and talk about the job. I never thought about this rule because interviews are about the corporation gaining more information about you so I inferred that you would do most of the talking.
The other rule in WCYP that I was unaware of is the 20-2 rule. An answer under 20 seconds makes you seem like you lack social skills. Any answer over 2 minutes is seen as you are rambling and it is best to be concise with your answers.

This is a great chapter to read if you are in the interviewing process because these rules can help you gain employment.

This has happened to me a few times but all of the opportunities required an advanced degree. So as this can tell it still needs some work. All this means is KEYWORDS matter in everything.
