WSJ Your Money Briefing · How to Answer Tough Questions in a Job Interview · 7 Apr 2021 podcast

So in some ways, this has placed people on more equal footing. voice-verified

You know, this is a tricky one because an interviewer who asks about your kids may very well, you know, as simple as, you know, do you have kids or your kids in school? voice-verified

Things like that may very well just be sort of making light conversation. voice-verified

But they also may be trying to ascertain whether you're willing to, you know, work late nights, potentially work on the weekends or whether you'll be really reachable outside of hours. voice-verified

or have child care interruptions. voice-verified

And whatever their purpose, they may come away with a similar sort of bias, depending on your answer. voice-verified

And so that's one where it's totally acceptable to kind of reframe and say, you know what, I'd really love to focus specifically on talking about what I bring to this role. voice-verified

But there are also ways in which, you know, you can take that into your own hands, like especially one of the recommendations at the job summit was, voice-verified

If you are concerned about an interruption, a child-related interruption, you can push for a block of time that's better for you to interview. voice-verified

That's totally appropriate. voice-verified

You know, that's a great question. voice-verified

And the interesting thing is that you don't necessarily even have to be what we would think of as retirement age for ageism to come into play. voice-verified

One of the recommendations at the job summit was that if you are in that position where you're much older than the interviewer, you may find yourself facing down, you know, unfairly, of course, some skepticism of you and whether, you know, you'll come in and think that you know everything or sort of try and assert yourself over the voice-verified

the group that you'll be working with or working for. voice-verified

And so one of the experts who spoke at the job summit recommended that job seekers in this position sort of flip that around a little bit and just focus on, you know, I'm really eager to learn. voice-verified

I'm really eager to take everything that I've done before and start, you know, learning new things, learning about your organization. voice-verified

And that can be a way to kind of set your younger interviewers at ease a little bit and win them over. voice-verified

It's important to pay a lot of attention to what the interview process can tell you about what it might be like to work somewhere. voice-verified

So even before you're sitting across from a hiring manager or a recruiter, whoever is performing your interview, it's a good idea for job seekers to try and get a sense of a feel for the company. voice-verified

So take a look at their stated core values. voice-verified
