??The Ultimate Interview Hack

Have you ever gone to an interview, proceeded to “Crush it”?

And then, never hear anything from the company? Crickets!

When I say “Crush it”, I mean, you felt great and looked great. Answered every question perfectly! Made a great connection to the interviewer! Even got in that great story that you were rehearsing all week about landing that big client

First thing you do after a couple days go by is turn to your network to get their opinions

Then… Turn to Google and search: ??

“How to tell if the interview went well” OR

 “How long does it take to hear back after an interview”

After all of this, you are still stumped and go with “No news is good news” ??

So, what if I told you that there is a way to have avoided all of this? And that you could Have left that interview room knowing where you stand? , know exactly how well you actually did?, and know exactly what your Thank You letter should include!

The hardest part of interviewing is the unknown. Not knowing what questions, you will be asked, and to the above, not knowing how you did or if you are moving on to the next steps.

There is no short cut around preparing your stories, rehearsing your elevator speech, researching the company, but there IS a shortcut to control the interview conversation and actually get asked the questions that you WANT to be asked, while finding out exactly where you stand. It comes down to a few simple questions and tactics that will allow this to be accomplished.

??  A resume full of accomplishments directly related to your success in this future role AND a carefully scripted “Tell me about yourself” that will certainly lead the interviewer to ask you to elaborate: you are teeing yourself up to talk about Exactly what you want to

??Knowing the pain points of the business beforehand and Hammering these home

?? Asking “What are your current challenges?” Great! They just told you what they are looking for! You have the tools to knock these down!

??Asking “What about my background is of interest to you”? The measure of this is both the length of response the interviewer gives AND if they point out the same or similar pain points you identified

??Asking “What would the successful candidate be able to accomplish in the first 90 days” Now you know their priorities!

Finishing the interview by asking “Is there anything that we discussed today that you need further clarity on”? This is your chance to seal the deal AND take this info into your Thank You letter to assure you eliminated any doubts as to your candidacy.
