"What would you do?"

Aloha Everyone,

I hope everyone had a great winter break. Today I wanted to talk to you guys about an interesting question I received during drop-ins. That question was, “What would you do if in the middle of your interview, you didn't want the job anymore?” This is a tough question and could reasonably happen to anyone.
It could happen for many reasons, including deciding you don’t like the company, believing you have a better offer, or even having a revelation of not wanting to work in the industry.
A good way to deal with this, “What would you do?” question would be to finish the rest of the interview just as you normally would. It is important to be respectful and end on a positive note. By finishing the interview you have a fair chance to fully think over whether you want to further the interview process. When you’ve made your decision, you should write a letter or email regarding interview process withdrawal, basically stating that you are no longer interested or available to meet the qualification that the job demands.  It is important to write this letter or email and to be professional, because you never know what may happen in the future.
I hope this may help you!
So “What would you do if you were in the middle of your interview and didn't want the job anymore?”
-Aloha Nate
