I’ve coached a couple of clients recently who want to work for themselves, but they aren’t making enough money, and so need to get a job. Sometimes they are too truthful in what they say to the interviewer. Here are a couple of questions, their answer and my reply
Tell me about a time when you had to make a difficult decision
Be very careful about telling the interviewer that you are looking to develop your own business. The interviewer will be concerned that too much of your energy will be focused outside of the job that you are being interviewed for. Why mention part time working if the job you are applying for is full time. Keep focused on what will help you get the job.
