In any interview, the one who sets the agenda by asking the questions manages the content.
It is important, therefore, that you ask questions as early in the interview as possible.
The easiest way to do this is to become proficient in what is called, “The Reversal.” That is to attach a question onto the end of your answer to the interviewer’s questions (eg interviewee’s answer, “Yes, in my last position maintaining good relations with the union representatives, while maintaining strict safety standards, was very important. In the last three years, we had no safety discipline cases brought to arbitration by the union and at the same time we won two OH&S safety awards. But it is interesting that you ask that question. Your workers are represented by the metal workers union and have a reputation for pushing hard. Have you been having any trouble, or what problems are you anticipating?”).
