Once you have gotten to the place where you are getting calls from businesses that want to bring you in for an interview, make sure you are ready to go. Do not think of an interview as just a simple back-and-forth of questioning. This is where the boss will get to know you and your personality so make sure you give them something to remember. No one wants to hire someone who comes off as boring, monotone or disengaged altogether. Make sure you let them know you are the person they want, without actually saying that.
Thousands of case studies can’t be wrong. In more than 5000 documented successful job searches, one of the factors people mentioned most often for their success in interviews was learning how to tell action-oriented stories that were clear examples of how they’ve contributed in the past.
When you think about it, you can see why it’s so effective. To prepare hard-hitting stories, people need to be specific about the challenges they faced, the precise actions they took to get things done, and the results.
When you are specific, you are telling a memorable story that gives you a lot of credibility, and it’s also very accurate, neither overstating nor understating your role. Employers appreciate this, they get a firm grasp of the way you operate, and how your approach would work for them.
Improving interviewing skills is just one of many things ERI does for its clients. We have to give people everything they need to in order to run a successful job search — clear goals, their best industry prospects, a better resume that neutralizes liabilities ahead of time, and dramatically greater exposure to opportunities in the public and private job markets.
