Doing This (Almost) GUARANTEES You Get Hired In A Job Interview!

The key to a successful job interview is PREPARATION!!
Say it with me... PREPARATION.
Job interviews are probably one of the most important environments where your communication skills will either make or break your chances of success.
Because you could have all the qualifications and technical ability, but if you can't communicate your value well, how will the interviewer truly be able to see the value you have to offer?
I believe one of the most powerful things you could prepare that will give you an edge, is preparing an origin story.
This is a short 2-3 minute story that when crafted well and linked to the job you're applying for well, can change how the interviewer perceives you.
Remember storytelling is one of the most influential forms of communication. Don't be that person that just describes themselves with adjectives, be that person that differentiates themselves from the 100s of applicants by sharing a powerful story.
Let me know what you think of this approach. Is it powerful or powerful?

The Greek poet Archilochus wrote: “We don't rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training.” The author James Clear adapted this, saying, “You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.”

This is why jobs go to the over confident bullshizzer, and not the person who’s actually best suited for the role. Interviewers let themselves be swayed like this and suddenly it’s not about competence anymore.

@hunterfrederick2731 29 күн бұрын

I actually used to think that exact same thing. I knew a few amazing people I felt were toiling in obscurity and the flashiest people just seemed extra lucky. I worked with a really good manager who was a rockstar salesperson and extremely nice. And he told me something that actually changed my life. Often the one who aces the interview is also the one most suited for the role? They prepared, they presented themselves in an impressive Way, they persuaded, and in the end they made the sale to get themselves the job. Business is largely about making the sales that are really important.

@@hunterfrederick2731 It's the sale that is important to the individual not to the company or coworkers. It's a problem where a charismatic liar often can get through HR and a Team Manager while being useless for the team. Business might be about making sales. But working in technical roles it's all about solving problems, you can't outsell a technical problem, you need people with excellent analytical skills and problem solving prowess with a deep understanding of how it integrates with other technologies. Many of these roles requires many years of experience to be decent in, and only a small portion become proficient in them. Many struggle even with 5+ years of experience.

Mistaking confidence for competence. But it depends what the job is, you want a social person for doing the social job where competence and clinical isn't as needed because you can delegate these to your inferiors and they're competent

@espiya5557 23 күн бұрын

Competence is only part of the equation. But personality is also as important as competence, in my opinion. Also, being able to express their selves will greatly help the team to work together. Even us who works behind the scenes(I'm a software developer), being able to connect to the team to a certain degree greatly smoothens our process. I encountered some competent people with terrible personalities or don't speak their mind about what we're doing, and they really drag the team down. They can work alone, but terrible to work large projects that requires teamwork. So every time I interview someone, the first thing I check is their potentials to be a team-player. I usually ask for a simple live-coding if they don't have public code repositories. I do the same whenever I'm applying for a job, I'm showing these soft-skills. And this worked 100% of the time.

@gyohngpersonal Ай бұрын

As an occasional interviewer, I learned that social skills do not always represent professional skills, so if a person presents me with a social layer that I have to peel off - I'm looking for inconsistencies and signs of bullsh*tting harder than I would've otherwise. I especially don't like childhood stories. My ideal candidate would just come, sit down, look at me and confidently inquire: 'what do you want to know? ask me anything' - and then proceed with a competent professional discussion with as few redundant displays of personality as possible. I like the format 'this is what I can do, this is how I would accomplish it'. Even with sufficient prefiltering, it's rare that I get to talk to really competent people, so I usually let HR prescreen the candidate for basic parameters and, during the interview, leave all the personal stuff until the end. Another reason is that I don't want to feel attached to the candidate more than necessary before I check them professionally. I don't like when this protocol is being messed with, I can feel it when the candidate tries to socially engineer their way, and it's not a positive sign for me.

When an interviewer asks you "Tell me about yourself," you've given the person carte blanche. As a marketer, I've been considering this approach because it allows me to demonstrate my storytelling abilities, rather than talk about them. If you're doing a technical interview, what you're proposing is quite reasonable. But interviewers are also looking for how you organize information, are you easily distracted, do you actually make a point, can you answer in a concise way. So there is a method to the madness. The question is: can you as the one being interviewed make it work to your advantage? 😉

After 2 hours and a free lunch I got the job in April! Be brave be you and yes be prepared! You don’t want to be weird in an interview but you can meet the weirdest interviewer ever! Also one question was: “how do you deal with complicated coworkers 😂” (slap them every morning left and right😂).

As an HR professional, the "tell me about yourself" can actually answer some questions ahead of time depending on what the candidate says. Not 100% of the time but very often this works, again it just depends on the candidates response. It's meant to be an ice breaker. To Vinh's point, ultimately, Be Prepared for the interview, do your homework and research ahead of time. An interview is not the time to be super shy, remember the person doing the interview already has a job, you as the candidate, are trying to sell that person or persons on why they should hire you versus the other candidates. This is the time to sell yourself.

@AWaterKnight Ай бұрын

Do you also prepare for the candidate properly? As a candidate, there were occasions where I clearly stated conditions and things important to know to the HR persons beforehand as well as in the cover letter and, then, in the interview, nobody knew about them. I always address all the points in the job advertisement if possible while it is very rare for the company side to respond to what I write. There has also been other information mixed up, questions are dodged and job advertisements turned out to be faulty when I inquired.

Having held numerous positions and conducted countless interviews, I must say the anecdote you shared, though I comprehend its fictitious nature, came across as rather insincere. When faced with that common interview question, it's crucial to respond truthfully without delving into a far-fetched narrative that holds no relevance for the recruiter or hiring manager. Seeking to impress through fabricated tales is not the way to go. For those aspiring to a Director of Innovation role, the focus should not be on recounting sales experiences from early years but rather on highlighting patents, trademarks, and innovative contributions made in previous roles. Authenticity is key; fabrications are easily discerned by the other party.

As someone who has been hiring people in Australia for 28 years, let me say. No. When most interviewers ask you to tell them about you they aren't interested in you as a person. We don't want your childhood stories , anecdotes or interests. What we want to know about is your PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCE. That's it. Everything outside of that space should not be talked about in answer to that question. Now, if you want to tell me a story about how you came to this point in your career and the things you learned along the way. Sure, that will be fine. But if you answer that question like in this video I'm not going to be impressed and will actively be looking for reasons not to hire you. Because by telling me a story about your childhood or your personal situation, what you are actually telling me is that you aren't prepared, that you don't understand the question that I've asked/the etiquette surrounding interviews in Australia and thus that you lack the experience necessary for the role. Additionally, what I got from that story was 1. Absolutely nothing funny 2. Zero professionalism 3. A lack of understanding of the role 4. A whole lot of cringe 5. Empty buzzwords It came off like a used car salesman. That might be fine if that's the role you're applying for. Otherwise, probably not. The story told is like applying for a job at Ferrari and telling them you've always had their posters on your wall and aspire to own one, one day. That's consumer mentality. Not entrepreneur mentality let alone corporate mentality. Crikey. Here's what will get you the job. Make me imagine working with you every day and think positively about that. That's the whole thing. Your cover letter was your elevator pitch. You got my interest. Now is the time to sell yourself.

I am saying that it is bad communication on the company side and it is disingenuous. It also makes it seem like the company side has not read the application. Applicants have to form a picture about the company as well and playing such games tells the applicant that people inside the company communicate unprofessionally and/or are dishonest and egoistic.

That is a skill, and one almost every position can use. If you have the technical skills but you’re not a friendly person, people are not going to want to work with you.

He mentioned if you can tie in your experience to the job, or think creatively - skill that can tie in or be usable or an asset in this new job. He mentioned it when they ask tell us about yourself. Keep in mind that if you are applying some of that info should be on your resume for the interviewer to see already (the formal info you mentioned: where you graduated, your major, even how long you worked at x Company and or in what positions). So all of this is to say think creatively as to how you can use a story or abbreviated story in response to the interviewers questions where you can demonstrate your skills & how you will be an asset or even depending on the industry you are applying for, highlight the skills you've gained that would be an asset to the position. So, it's not necessarily tell an unnecessary story to take up time in the interview it's how you weave the relevant skills and info by story or short abbreviated talk in response to the person's question or dialogue. Flexibility, entrepreneurual skills, or decision making, ability to perform or handle pressure and still maintain quality or also integrate and adapt improvements etc the story may not be a highly worded story as you may think. It may be I worked in x as y and in the abc season where we have heavy load or work or inquires i managed or maintained customer satisfaction, was able to complete a XYZ project which satisfied my managers, and helped maintain employee engagement and output levels or increase employee output/ productivity levels by ....

All of this information would already be on your resume and they’d already know education, background etc. I think his story telling skills show a great skill and build friendship like he stated. That’s something I want to try.

i always go into interviews and be as genuine as possible. don't want to sound like a robot who just studied for a test and starts shooting out what sounds good on paper. if i don't know or am not familiar with something, i just tell them right there. but i'm always eager to learn. if they don't have time to teach your ass, well that all depends, right. what level of the job are you applying for? this is also a big factor.

I recently interviewed to play Batman in a small budget movie but they didn't believe I was an orphan. Maybe I should have told them that it was my butler with me that day, not my dad.

@kasper_573 Ай бұрын

The opening narrative comes across a bit misleading. While preparation meets opportunity is definitely a concept to embrace to hold yourself accountable for how you can maximize your chances in life, the opportunity side of the equation is the luck part, and it can be substantial. To have many opportunities is to count yourself lucky.

Could you please teach us how to ask my boss to pay me more on wage? Many thanks!🙏

@esthershelley394 Ай бұрын

I read somewhere, if you want more wages, provide more value. Upgrade your skills with a course or two, and show how that has impacted your ability to bring more value to your company with a (drumroll) STORY, and you'll get your raise. Most companies have a skills ladder and if you meet their rubric, you'll get your raise. My son meets his rubric every year and hits the max raise allowed yearly every year, with occasional bonuses in between. Educate yourself on the rubric. Perhaps at your next review, ask what you need to shoot for next year, so you can plan your rise up the ladder.

As an interviewer for the company I work for, absolutely please do this. It will immediately set you apart from 99% of the ~40 interviews I’ll be conducting that day. Showing adequate or above adequate communication skills is what we interviewers are STARVING for! If it’s a “shotgun wedding” 10-minute interview, keep it concise, focused, and confident- I may even hire you on the spot.

I'm sorry, maybe this is a cultural thing (I'm from the eastern EU), but if I ever saw a candidate who would make unprofessional impressions in front of someone who they've never met, I'd think that they are for lack of the better term "socially unaware". I'm in finance so maybe that also plays a factor. I'd much rather someone give a professional and academic background in a chronological background with a calm and confident tone. It's not that light jokes don't have a place in the interview but I think you have to build a rapport to make a joke in the first place.
