IP is over the quota
Next to meeting your significant other's family, the most challenging, stressful opportunity we face to impress others, is when we interview for a new career position. Nervousness is a by product of how well prepared we are. When we're ready for it, the interview lets us bring our marketing material to life. What follows are series of tips for the interview that will help you to stand out in a positive manner.
Does your resume have an objective or a summary? There are several positives to the summary approach, which help you focus on your message and deliver it consistently. The summary helps you to answer the following interview question:
Tell me about yourself?Why should we hire you?What do you bring to the table?What can you do for us that the other candidates can't?What are your strengths?A well written summary will help you to talk about your skills and how you use them to successfully complete projects. It enable to deliver your message with confidence, has value and meaning to a potential employer. How well you prepare FOR the interview is directly proportionally to how well you'll do IN the interview.
Another group of questions deal with your work relationship and examples of these are:
Describe your last bossWhat did you like/dislike about your last boss?How did you get along with your co-worker, customer, and supervisor?What are they really asking when you get these questions? They are asking about your judgment and personality. The interviewer is looking to see if you can follow directions, your work ethic, your ability to get along with others, and your conflict resolution skills. As much fun as it may be, it is NOT the opportunity to trash others. When you do, the message heard is "I make no mistakes", "I'm never wrong", "I'm a Diva", and "I'm smarter than anyone else" in an arrogant way.
Other keys to keep in the corner of your mind are:
Keep everything positive.Do not use yes/no answers. They close conversations and reveal very little about your skills and abilities.Tell your story; you are the one who has to make sure your story is told.Tell the truth and take responsibility for what occurred. A favorite saying is, "It is what it is, deal with it and move on".When answering, think like an owner. Telling a story about your prowess in the arts or sports (unless it is RELEVANT to the job) has no value to an employer's bottom line.Sell your professional benefits, features and skills. State their value and potential positive impact.Look at challenges as opportunities for growth.And most importantly of all; hear the question, understand the question and answer the question.Are you looking for a new career opportunity and want to learn how to present your skills more effectively? If so, I recommend my book "Pieces Of The Puzzle - A Job Hunters Guide for the 21st Century." which is currently available at https://www.createspace.com/3710544
