The Lion’s Pride: Interviewing

Andre's Answers and Roger's Requests

 

Roger Federer is arguably the best shot maker in men's tennis history. When he hits a ball, it goes where he wants with almost surgical accuracy.

This, as you may guess, causes his opponents to fall to the wayside nearly every time.

This happens a lot in interviews, too. Interviewers become Roger, firing precise questions at jobseekers, making them move around and looking for their weaknesses.

 

The best defense?

Be Andre Agassi. Agassi has won so many titles because he's the best return man in the game - maybe ever.

 

He returns the shots well because he practices. Even when he doesn't feel like practicing. He knows the guys on the pro circuit gun for him. So he returns and returns and returns.

Agassi knows how to win titles because he knows how to return.

You can be Andre. Practice your interview answers. Make your answers a natural reflex. Be the returner.

IN THE CARAVAN: To beat Roger, you need to be Andre.
