A new Division head was brought in from another firm. She restructured our group and I was out. I don’t think I’ll ever understand the reasons behind their decision. The environment has drastically changed over there. I’m not sure it would have continued to be a good fit for me anyway. I’m attracted to this company because you’re strategically poised to grow.

- At crit juncture. Needd to set m/s apart in order to get job. Decd to take raddiff approach thwlddistngshme from other cands. I/s of answerg questions in usual overly pos way. decto represent m/s authenticly. Discovthe more truthful I was, the mor they wanted me. I ended up getting that job and cont to use same tech, same succ. Founded EI To teach people my approach and help them diff th/s in the intv proc.
- I’ve created 4 steps to helppeople prepare for their interviews and ultimately stand out.Fundamentally opp from saying wh you think the intvrwants to hear. There are 2 Probs with that app- you lose your ability to be auth, and you sound like everyone else. Touch on 4 steps. First… reexamine interview process
- You need to be thinking about how you can be different and not the same…
- Emp: Risk adverse - Hiring wisely crucial…Evolut of intvg = sit questg, telpersnlity surveys, screening and panel interviews. Reason = avoidance of mishires. Cos motvdto hire right emp.JS:Want to get the ‘right job’ - intv to ‘get a job’Tell invtr what they think they want to hear. Not representing t/s auth.Don’t stand out.
- Good news - Companies and individuals have the same goal: Get the right person in the right jobToday I want you to think about how can how influence this outcome?
- Taking a risk when they hire you. Reputation is at stake if their decision turns into a mishire. The more they can trust you, the more likely to hire you vs another candidate. This is human nature. We buy from people that we trust.
- Might not alwys know right questions to ask to discover if you are trustworthy.How Build trust - being authentic.
- Why auth so impt? Authenticity promotes trust Trust leads to acceptanceHonesty is liberating – Allow us to be in a mental state in controlDon’t just take it from me…
- You’re beg to see how being auth will give you a leg upQuestions?
- Why do you think it’s impt to know what you want?You can’t get what you want…
- As a job seeker, there is nothing more impt in the intv than matters to you.
- Now that you know what…Set y/s up for succ.
- Q: What eval?Ask the difficult questions. That matter to you. Ideal job - red flags/trade offs before…go in with eyes wide open.BNY
- put them in the hot seat! you’ll get their attention, and you’ll differentiate yourself
- If emplyr & cand have same goal – right pers in right job, you have to have an auth conv.Do your part to help the intv understand why you’re the right person.
- Intvr trying to establish if you’re trustworthy…Toot your horn. What matters to you. How can you be selective abt what you say.
- By serving up to them on a platter…
- Whenever you talk abt y/s it’s very powerful when you can relate it back to the employer. It’s what I call…Take pity on the interviewer!
- Impt throughout interview but becomes most difficult when we’re in the hot seat answering questions.
- Not in a court of law. Use your sincerity to your best adv. Intuitively know how to be auth, it’s easy to lose sight when have to talk abttouchy past.. We’ve all had them. Why we left a co, no ref from boss, laid off, holes in res, why out of work for while, why chg careers...no one expects you to be perfect! You can’t be a general without acquiring some battle scars!
- Light touch.
- Has anybody ever answered NO to this? Being authentic is not about giving “the whole truth and nothing but the truth”.while it’s in your best interest to represent y/s authtcly, want to do so to your best advantage. The job didn’t advance your knowledge, skills or strengths This is a powerful and truthful response that isn’t mired in the guilt & apology of not getting along with your boss.
