SUMMARY
--------------------
After reviewing this video, you'll be able to overcome those pesky communication issues that accompany every job interview as you tell stories that make you believable, likeable, and memorable.
This is video 2 of a 3 part series.
Every great story that makes you believable, likeable, and memorable has these five characteristics:
Keep It Short and Simple. Superfluous information hinders their ability to remember.
Capture and Keep Their Attention. They can't remember you if they're not listening.
Talk in Their Lingo. Speak in a language they understand.
Make Them Believe You. Use details to make yourself believable.
Get Them to Care. Highlight the benefit to the individual in addition to the company.
Keep It Short and Simple
Your goal is to highlight the most necessary information your interviewer seeks without including superfluous remarks.
Capture and Keep Their Attention
There are two main issues here. The first difficult obstacle is you cannot make the interviewer pay attention. You need to attract his or her attention. Once you get that attention, you need to keep it.
The easiest way to do this is by telling stories where you did something first (or it was, at least, your first) and when you did something wrong. (There's much more explanation in the video.)
Talk in Their Lingo
This is one of the most difficult things for people to do when they're communicating. Do you know why? Because as we evolve through life, we forget what it's like not to know what we know. Make sure you know what language the interviewer speaks or ask them if you're not sure.
Make Them Believe You
Telling stories that are believable is probably one of the easier obstacles you need to overcome. The reason is if you truly lived the event you're sharing, you have the specific details that will help them believe you lived it.
The easiest way to tell believable stories is to interject details and use statistics if appropriate.
Get Them to Care
While believability might be easy to attain, getting them to care might be more difficult. This is true for two reasons. First and foremost, you will not be her top priority at that moment. So how do you get them to care?
The easiest way to get the interviewer to care is to show her how hiring you benefits her (or something she cares about).
If you are interviewing with a superior, for example, you might indicate that if you were hired, your skills are strong enough to help relieve her of some of her daily duties so she can focus on more strategic areas.
When speaking with a peer, show how you could serve as another resource to share ideas and cross-train each other on your complementary skills.
To a subordinate, you could highlight the areas in which you can teach or mentor her and your desire to present her with challenging opportunities for growth. These are just a few examples to get you thinking about the possibilities.
