Win the Job Interview

Job interviews can be stressful, but being prepared will not only ease your anxiety but also set you apart from the competition. It almost goes without saying that you should research the company and, if possible, the interviewer, as well as updating your LinkedIn profile. But, writing in Forbes, Jack Kelly, founder and CEO of WeCruitr, offers some additional strategies for once you are in the room (or on the video screen):

  • The Art of Small Talk:  Thanks to your research, you’ll have topics you know will interest your interviewer.  By casually raising them, you can kick the conversation off in a positive direction. 
  • Eyes on the Interviewer:  Offer your full attention, listen actively, and don’t fidget or let your attention get distracted. And use the interviewer’s name.
  • Get the Interviewer Talking:  Ask open ended questions like, “How could I help you in this role?” and “What would exceeding expectations look like?” 
  • Be Authentic: Speak from the heart about what interests you about the company and position. It is not compelling to play hard to get, or appear to be shopping around for the best offer.
  • “Do You Have Any Questions For Me?”  This Is usually the last thing an interviewer asks.  And yes you do!  But in addition to preparing a question in advance, also stay in the moment by addressing something that came up during your meeting.

How did your last job interview go, and can you share any advice? To join the conversation, click "comments" above.
