TOP TIPS FOR INTERVIEW IMPACT

1. Find the pseudo-leader / decision maker on the panel and get their approval
2. Pick up cues from their opening preamble and comments
   1. “Big thinking”, “Strategic”, “Under-served”
3. Clearly state 3 things, and only THREE
4. Only use I-I-I … not “We” unless you state clearly your contribution
5. WOW factor can only be landed in the first 2-3 questions. Tell them early how you meet their requirements. Show your passion, not a stock response.
6. Tell a story – show the problem and how you can uniquely work to solve it.
7. They’re not looking for the finished product – highlight where you have learnt from experiences and how you can use that in this role. If you state a weakness, follow it with what you’re doing about it.
8. They are looking for candidates who are reaching their ceiling. Prove you are ready and are looking for a “bigger challenge”
9. Show insight and intelligence – what have you learnt about the company?
10. Pick on the key items in the JD and build great examples
