A Killer Interview Question
Most of us do lots of interviews, even if we don’t think about them that way. We meet with industry associates and try to relate and learn from them. If we’re managers, we interview for consultants, subcontractors and employees. Even casual random conversations have elements of an interview.
So what’s the killer interview question proposed by Publicity Hound?
“What single project or task would you consider your most significant accomplishment in your career so far?”
Let’s begin by you considering and answering that question? As I thought about it, my mind went to writing Joyful Living, but that didn’t seem to be it. Then I thought about building the Cloister Car Wash buildings, which were great fun and technical challenges.
But then I thought about the LCBC Church main auditorium in Manheim, PA.

I think that would be my most satisfying and significant project thus far. The fact that I get to go and worship in the building each week adds to that feeling.
So what project or task do you consider your most significant in your career thus far? Answer that for yourself and get in the habit of asking others. Then listen and learn.
