Usually say it with more tact, but it is along the lines of - “Yes. I’m a professional new guy. I’ve seen and worked on a lot of different types of technology, and I come up to speed quickly. I’m not afraid to ask ‘dumb’ questions when I can’t find what I’m looking for.”
Something along those lines. I lean into it. But as I said, it doesn’t come up too often in the PNW.
- DenisM 5y agoHow about “I leave subpar companies quickly and stay in great companies like Amazon for many years”?
- Aeolun 5y agoI mean, that’s cool, but you haven’t actually adressed the problem, which is that I’ll spend 3 months training you, only to have you quit after 9 more. That’s not really a good investment
- toyg 5y agoHis point is that it will only take a month to get him up to speed, not 3. But I agree that a better answer would probably be something along the lines of "I have so much experience that I deliver in a year what the average guy would give you in 5; and if you're good to me, I might well stick around as much as I did at X", or something along those lines.
- xboxnolifes 5y agoIf he's getting hired, it's obviously good enough.
- Aeolun 5y agoDepends on how often they’re hired versus not.
