HOW TO RESPOND TO YOUR FAVORITE WEBSITE

This interview question is not as simple as we think. Instead of rushing to evaluate the interviewer through the “outer shell” question, you should analyze why they asked the same question.

Experienced interviewers always know how to exploit and capture a lot of in-depth information about the candidate through a few very simple questions. Their ability to understand the subtext is sharpened through the long process of employment.

Simple-looking questions are often designed with the intention of deceiving the candidate, making you despise to discover for what you are trying to hide. So, when asked “what is your favorite website,” understand that employers are looking to exploit the following information:

1. Where do you like to spend your free time?

Facebook Instagram or TikTok, you show that you like things that are personally entertaining. Enjoying time for yourself is not bad, but this can be attributed to the interviewer that you are prone to risk wasted time into these things rather than work.

2. What kind of person are you?

If you say that I spend a lot of time researching and writing answers on Quora or reading articles by WebMD or Techcrunch, this indicates that you are smart and tend to constantly improve your knowledge. The interviewer will believe that you will become an employee who will actively learn everything.

3. What is your passion?

If in the answer, you emphasize sites with content related to travel destinations, trips, such as Lonely Planet, this may reveal to listeners that you are a travel enthusiast. You love to discover new destinations, interesting things. While the experience through trips or vacations may increase the potential of your job, the way employers respond to this information will be limited to their perspective and thought process.

4. Do you update trends and times?

When you say “my favorite website is HuffingtonPost”, Economic Times, or BuzzFeed, you indicate to the interviewer that you are interested in updating the news. You always want to grasp the happenings that happen around you, with people you know, and around the world.

OPTIMAL ANSWER

In almost any case, the interviewer will be able to examine the characteristics the personality of the candidate with this question.

Facebook instantly says that if we really sit down and calculate the maximum time we spend on websites, we'll all have to admit that options like Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, YouTube, and other social media platforms are stops. But be aware that, if you include these names in the answer, your image can become less professional and quite arbitrary in the approach.

We don't have to lie, but we should choose to address other work-related concerns, clarifying more about our qualities and personalities. Therefore, why not mention those sites that are useful and less attributed to entertainment such as:

  1. HuffingtonPost
  2. New York Times
  3. Techcrunch
  4. Quora
  5. Scoop
  6. Buzzfeed

Some of these sites are also entertaining, but include the ability to update news around the world. So, by referring to sites like this, you can introduce yourself as an interesting blend of entertainment and education.

In Vietnam, you can do the same for your interview by letting your employer know that you usually like to update news on popular e-newspapers or refer to a lot of information on specialized blogs about personnel, economic forums or science FAQ pages. This is also a good suggestion for employers to sketch a portrait inside you more clearly than just evaluating it through external factors such as interview costumes or skillful greetings.

SAMPLE EXAMPLE

My favorite website is huffingtonpost.com because it has everything I need to know. New news, knowledge-rich articles, “viral” content, entertainment news, and even lifestyle articles cover everything from travel to technology, meeting the needs of learning, understanding and fun.

You may not like HuffingtonPost so much, but instead of referring to a social media site and “blowing away” the opportunity to get a job, choose a safer option! The main principle for dealing with this question is to show the employer that you will be an employee who knows how to enrich mindset and collect knowledge through visiting websites rather than just wasting fun time and reading useless things.
