What do you do to improve yourself?

Even if you read a lot, your interviewer might still ask:

What else do you do to improve yourself?

Anything that you can share that shows you are a student of your craft will set you apart from other candidates.

Here are the real questions going through the minds of your interviewers:

• Are you seeking a professional certification or have you recently earned one?
• Are you studying a foreign language?
• Are you pursuing a Masters Degree?
• Do you participate in any company sponsored workshops or outside training?
• Are you taking an on-line course or night class on a popular computer program?
• Have you ever taken a Dale Carnegie public speaking workshop?

On top of his formal training and actual flight hours, he also has to re-certify his license and ratings every year.

Tiger Woods was once asked how he maintains his competitive edge in golf. He replied that he often takes golf lessons at the club he attends.

Hiring managers are always impressed with candidates who go the extra mile to be their best. This can also apply to personal goals such as following an exercise regiment or occasionally participating in community service.
