PayPal CLO reveals their ultimate interview tactic

When it comes to impressing the recruiter during an interview, many candidates can fall victim to nerves and forget how to present themselves. It’s integral to remember what needs to be expressed to the interviewer, as well as remembering what they are looking to hear.

Derek Hann, Chief Learning Officer at PayPal, recently revealed to Business Insider his favourite interview question, and how it has the ability to show several different sides to the candidate.  

"I would ask this of any candidate — what did you learn this week?" he told Business Insider. "Even if it's only Tuesday. What's something new you learned this week and how did you apply it in what you do?"

He explained how this question shows how dedicated a jobseeker is to learning new things and improving themselves. “You should be learning with that level of frequency," Hann said. "Being a lifelong learner is really important — learning something and applying something new every day.”
