Answer the questions:
1. What is tip number three about?
2. What does an author advise to do before the interview?
3. Why is it important to try a product or service prior the interview?
4. What did the CEO of a small yoghurt company tell the author?
5. Do you try a product or service before the interview?
Number three – do not say you haven’t tried the product or the service. If they
have an accessible product (доступный продукт), try it before the interview.
Gosh, get the free trial (можно бесплатно попробовать/попользоваться) or
something. If that isn’t feasible (возможно/осуществимо), then read reviews
(отзывы) online, ask someone who has been a client of theirs, or just do
something to understand it. I was talking to a CEO of a small yoghurt
company, and she says that if anyone who hasn’t tried the yoghurt before the
interview is immediately disqualified (немедленно будут
дисквалифицированы). I get it. They’re about to spend thousands and
thousands of dollars hiring someone, putting their butt in the seat every day,
and that person better give a craparoony (всё равно) about the product.
