1 Stay Calm

When your expertise is questioned, it's essential to stay calm and composed. Take a deep breath and remember that this is an opportunity to showcase your knowledge and experience. Responding with defensiveness can be counterproductive. Instead, listen carefully to the interviewer's concerns and take a moment to formulate a thoughtful answer. Demonstrating your ability to remain unruffled under pressure will not only address their concerns but also highlight your soft skills, such as emotional intelligence and stress management.

I think we need to normalize asking questions and being questioned. Questioning my expertise is part of their due diligence, and I don't want to work somewhere that doesn't ensure their training team is composed of true experts. It's a great opportunity to demonstrate, not only my expertise, but how it's a business add; how I've used it to save money, streamline processes, solve organization-wide problems, or prevent future challenges. Questioning my expertise provides me with the opportunity to shine beyond the applicants who think "anyone can do training" and reinforces that I will be part of a professional team.

In my experience I have found that providing examples can clearly provide the level of understanding that an individual has in the profession of education and training. While we all use “buzz words”, only a true education and training professional knows when and how to apply the theories and techniques that we have used/experienced in our professional journeys. At the same time, everyone’s experience is different, so while I might not have experienced everything, being the life long learner that I am, I am always eager to know more!

Yes, stay calm, this is an opportunity dressed as a threat. You can deepen the details of the training you provided, instead of just mentioning it on your resume. This is a great opportunity if tackled adequately.

2 Provide Evidence

To convincingly affirm your training expertise, provide concrete examples of your past successes. Talk about specific programs you've developed or training sessions you've led that had a measurable impact on the organization. If possible, mention any recognition or awards you've received for your work. This tangible proof serves as a testament to your capabilities and can help to quickly alleviate any doubts the interviewer may have.

3 Clarify Misunderstandings

Sometimes questions about your expertise stem from misunderstandings or a lack of information. Politely ask the interviewer to clarify any points that seem to underpin their skepticism. Once you have a clear idea of their concerns, you can address them directly. This might involve explaining certain methodologies you use or the unique challenges you've overcome in your training career. Clarity can often resolve issues before they escalate into major doubts.

4 Share Philosophy

Your training philosophy can set you apart and showcase your depth of understanding in the field. Share your approach to adult learning, your strategies for engaging participants, and how you measure the effectiveness of your training programs. Discussing your philosophy not only demonstrates your expertise but also gives insight into how you would fit within the company's culture and contribute to its goals.

Kindly thank them for their time and end the interview. If they aren’t respecting my expertise in the interview, they’re not going to respect it on the job, and that’s not an organization or relational dynamic I want to be a part of.

Talk about how you approach resistance to training or rigid SME outlook/opinions about training requirements. Mention that learner involvement and learner perspective is important to decide how what and why of the training.

5 Emphasize Adaptability

The field of training is constantly evolving, so emphasize your commitment to continuous learning and adaptability. Discuss how you stay updated with the latest training methodologies and technologies, and how you apply them to your work. Showcasing your ability to evolve with the industry reassures interviewers that you're not only experienced but also forward-thinking and capable of keeping their company at the cutting edge of training practices.

6 Ask Questions

Finally, turn the tables by asking insightful questions about the company's current training strategies and challenges. This demonstrates your genuine interest in the role and allows you to further illustrate how your expertise can be applied to their specific needs. By engaging the interviewer in a discussion about their operations, you can subtly reinforce your qualifications while gathering valuable information that may assist you in the interview process.
