TRAPS: If an interviewer has read your resume carefully, he may try to zero in on a “fatal flaw” of your candidacy, perhaps that you don’t have a college degree…you’ve been out of the job market for some time…you never earned your CPA, etc.
A fatal flaw question can be deadly, but usually only if you respond by being overly defensive.
BEST ANSWERS: As every master salesperson knows, you will encounter objections (whether stated or merely thought) in every sale. They’re part and parcel of the buyer’s anxiety. The key is not to exacerbate the buyer’s anxiety but diminish it. Here’s how…
Whenever you come up against a fatal flaw question:
1. Be completely honest, open and straightforward about admitting the shortcoming. (Showing you have nothing to hide diminishes the buyer’s anxiety.)
2. Do not apologize or try to explain it away. You know that this supposed flaw is nothing to be concerned about, and this is the attitude you want your interviewer to adopt as well.
3. Add that as desirable as such a qualification might be, its lack has made you work all the harder throughout your career and has not prevented you from compiling an outstanding tack record of achievements. You might even give examples of how, through a relentless commitment to excellence, you have consistently outperformed those who do have this qualification.
Of course, the ultimate way to handle “fatal flaw” questions is to prevent them from arising in the first place. You will do that by following the master strategy described in Question 1, i.e., uncovering the employers needs and them matching your qualifications to those needs.
Once you’ve gotten the employer to start talking about his most urgently-felt wants and goals for the position, and then help him see in step-by-step fashion how perfectly your background and achievements match up with those needs, you’re going to have one very enthusiastic interviewer on your hands, one who is no longer looking for “fatal flaws”.

Take into account purchasing a digital baby monitor.
The iphone can support the wifi G networks that a majority of routers use.
The Panasonic is in fact nearly the size of a normal phone, although a bit
thinner.

The white ones are the easiest to spot - they hang around in taxi stands and have the word 'Taxi' written on them.
Since typing in a name is so old school, the app lets you search by taking
a picture of the book, DVD or CD cover you'd like to get using the camera.
From this viewpoint, the TLC have missed a wonderful chance to revolutionize the private hire industry for the
better.

My spouse and I stumbled over here from a different web address and thought I might check
things out. I like what I see so now i am following you. Look forward
to checking out your web page yet again.

You could place them below a tree in your patio or near the well for any effect you wish.
The lamps’ smaller diameter also makes them easier to assemble,
transport and dispose of. Simply cut the top of the bottle off at
the desired height and polish the edges to prevent injury
when drinking from your new glasses.

And if you have wall to wall carpeting, the wool southwest
rugs will work perfectly to transform your decor. These lamp posts lighten up the garden by
implementing an outstanding light schema. The fact that solar lights use sunlight for energy,
which is free for gathering and storing, leads to both
environmental and financial savings.

We communicated with the resort via email and booked
a 4-day stay. For 20 percent of Sacramento's population that are bitten by infected mosquitos, West Nile fever has symptoms similar to the flu,
but severe symptoms may include fever, seizures, weakness, change
in mental status, paralysis and death. Keeping the house clean and free of trash, keeping screens on the windows and keeping
doors and using a fly repellent will help prevent fly attacks.
