When faced with a tough interview question it is best that you look presidential. In this video Colin Powell is calm cool and collected when answering a potentially volatile interview question. As you listen to the interview notice that he does not evade the question, but supports his position with facts.

When you are responding to an interview question, follow Colin Powell’s example, provide the supportive information and then provide your answer. This process is similar to building a house. The supportive information you provide is the foundation that you will build your answer on. The more accurate and complete the information is that you provide the stronger your answer and the more likely it will be accepted by the interviewer.

Remember to be presidential and answer your interview questions with information that support your answer. If you are affective at doing this you will be offered the job.

      Great advice. Many times, we’re too concerned trying to impress the interviewer we end up not anwering the question. Being straight to the point, factual, calm and collected should be characteristics we should always keep in mind during interviews.
