3 Things To “Listen” For During Job Interviews

When you’re in a job interview, you shouldn’t just focus on answering questions, you should be actively listening to the interviewer too.

What you say in an interview is incredibly important, however, it’s also important to be paying attention to the interviewer and what they say. There is more to listening than just hearing another persons words though. And in a job interview, you can learn a lot about how the interview is going by their tone and body language.

The way the interviewer sits, the way they ask their questions, and what they do while you are answering questions are important little things to be aware of. The hiring manager is in control of the interview and there’s not always much you can do to change it if things start going south. However, you can be equipped with the skills to know if the interviewer is paying attention to you or not. (Are they making eye contact? Are they nodding along with your answers?) These skills will help you identify an unengaged hiring manager, and can help give you the chance to grab their attention again.

Here are three things to “listen” for in a job interview, so you can make the best impression!

5 Reasons To Make SurveyJunkie Your Next Side Hustle

There are several reasons why someone might choose to have a side hustle as an online survey taker for SurveyJunkie. Here are five possible reasons:

1. Flexibility: Online survey taking allows for flexibility in terms of working hours. As a survey taker, you can typically choose when and where you want to complete surveys. This flexibility is especially beneficial for individuals who have other commitments such as a full-time job, studies, or family responsibilities.

2. Extra Income: One of the primary motivations for having a side hustle is to earn additional income. SurveyJunkie offers compensation to survey takers for completing surveys. While the income may vary depending on factors like survey length and complexity, it can be a convenient way to supplement your regular income or save up for specific goals.

3. Low Entry Barrier: Starting as an online survey taker usually has a low barrier to entry. SurveyJunkie, for example, allows individuals to sign up easily and start taking surveys without requiring specialized skills or experience. This accessibility makes it an attractive option for people looking to earn money without needing extensive training or qualifications.

Whether you prefer to work from the comfort of your home, a coffee shop, or while traveling, as long as you have access to the internet, you can take surveys and earn money. This flexibility can be particularly appealing for digital nomads or individuals seeking location-independent work.

5. Variety and Engagement: Participating in online surveys exposes you to a range of topics and provides an opportunity to share your opinions. This can be interesting and engaging for individuals who enjoy expressing their thoughts, providing feedback, or learning about different subjects. It can also serve as a way to stay updated on market trends, consumer preferences, and new products or services.

Ahmed has a co-worker, Emilio, that he does a lot of project work with. Emilio is notoriously late with his work. This puts Ahmed in a position of having to work nights and weekends in order to make the project deadlines. He’s talked to Emilio about this multiple times, but Emilio just laughs it off. The problem is that Emilio is REALLY good at what he does. So together, Emilio and Ahmed always get rave reviews for their work. But, Ahmed is finding himself growing resentful of Emilio and struggling to communicate with him due to the stress. Yet, he fears that if he goes to his manager or HR, it could make the relationship uncomfortable and the company might actually get rid of Ahmed since everyone knows Emilio is gifted at what he does.
