Every few weeks we pose a question you might get asked during an interview and a suggestion on how you might formulate your answer.

This week’s question:

There’s no right or wrong answer to this question! How you answer and things you share may reveal things about your personality, and therein lies the challenge. How you express your feelings, your likes and dislikes, attitudes toward technology, attitudes toward humanity, change and organization, could be sources of judgement by your interviewer. Consider addressing the way tech has simplified your life, provided access to information/content faster than ever before, how it encouraged or necessitated that you learn things you never dreamed you’d want to learn. Let your interviewer know of the different ways tech furthered your personal growth, individually and as an employee. Also mentionable is that you share the same frustrations with technology that everyone else experiences, such as: automated customer service, texts & emails that don’t go through, network/wifi/bluetooth connections that drop or buffer at the worst times, all computer issues, hardware and software, etc. Of course, the youngest workers haven’t been changed by tech to the same degree as Baby Boomers, Gen X, and Y, as lots of today’s technologies didn’t exist when they started their work lives.
