Good morning. It’s Sunday November 26, 2017 and this is your first early morning Jobs briefing!

Today’s Cyn 3 comes from our own John Cox at Cynopsis Media
Reasons Interviewers Ask These 3 Questions

To answer a question properly, it helps if you know why the question is being asked.  Once you know why, you can respond in more intelligent manner.

Why do you want to work for this company?
The interviewer wants to know about your knowledge of the company. An answer like, “I thought it would be a fun place to work,” isn’t going to cut it. If you know about the company, and you better, now is the time to let the interviewer know. Even go as far as to notice an event or project a company was part of and make mention.

Where do you see yourself 12 months from today?
The interviewer is trying to determine if you are driven and confident in your work skills. The correct answer might be a bit of a tightrope walk, somewhere between humble and cocky.  Sometimes it’s best to be a little vague by saying something like, “I would love to be in a position of more responsibility conducive to my skill set, while helping the company achieve its goals.”

What are your greatest career achievements?
These should be the same three achievements you wrote in your resume, in the bullet pointed, bold font section, directly below your profile statement. This is your chance to expand upon those statements and tell the interview WHY you consider them to be the highlights of your career
.

Inspirational Quote for today!

The average person cringes at the thought of hearing criticism, but it can be quite valuable if you stay focused on the big picture. — Asha Tyson

A CYNOPSIS MESSAGE
Use Artificial Intelligence to Find the Biggest Possible Audience
 
AI can customize viewing experiences in a way that makes pay TV more valuable to consumers; it can help you reach potential consumers with increasingly precise ad targeting, and it can help you reach content consumers on A.I. driven platforms, such as smart speakers. We think it’s high time the industry starts really utilizing this new tool. That’s why we’re hosting the Wednesday, December 6 webinar,  Using Artificial Intelligence to Capture & Captivate Audiences.
