If you are fully committed to leaving, here are 3 tips to smashing ANY Interview: 1 - Know your audience! What's important to them? What is their job function and what do they NEED to make their job easier? If they're a sales manager, they want to hear about your numbers and achievements. If they're HR, they want to know about your motivations (GREAT opportunity to share your knowledge of their company). After a few minutes speaking to them, you HAVE to mirror their energy. If they're slow and methodical, turn down your pace and match their rhythm. If they're upbeat and enthusiastic, make sure you are too! 2 - Make your experience fit the requirements! This is definitely easier said than done. Sometimes you might not have product experience, or this could be a completely new role for you. However, something I tell hiring managers on a daily basis is to look out for SOFT Skills. So you've not sold product X, however the product you did sell has XYZ similarities. The way you sold it could be the same, who you sold it to could be the same. The soft skills you've developed from one experience can definitely make up the potential shortfall in experience you don't have. (USE Examples) 3 - ABC (Always Be Closing) From the very first minute you should be giving examples as to why you're right for the role. Constantly link your examples back to the job in question. My go to for examples are: HOW did you do X? And WHY did you do it the way you did? When it comes to ending the interview, express a keen interest and finish with 2 - 3 prepared questions: What are your thoughts on my Profile? How do you think I'd fit in the team? What reservations do you have taking me through to the next stage? Again, this gives you a good opportunity to handle any objections with examples. If you're a candidate currently looking, or a hiring manager in need of Interview advice, please reach out for a casual conversation!
2021: No salary increase 2022: No salary increase 2023: No salary increase 2024: No salary increase Employee: Please accept my resignation. Boss: You’re doing great. Why are you resigning? Employee: I accepted an offer with a 95% base salary increase and guaranteed yearly salary cycles as long as I meet my performance goals set by my manager. 48 hours later... Boss: We will match the 95%, please stay, we need your work! Employee: Unfortunately, it’s too late. Friday is my last day. Leaders of organizations need to understand their teams’ motivation every month. Every employee is motivated by different things in different periods. Take care of your good employees before it is too late. #culture #salarynegotiation #founder #leaders #shoes #footwear #footwearleader #farylrobin
Great points Jay! in reference to the ABC - very important- why do you think you're right (and better) for the role than your competitors, what added value can you bring, why would the company benefit from them being in post and also from a candidate perspective - explain how interested you are in the role and why you would LOVE to work for the company....try it
Focused on how communities and start-ups affect our every day. My thoughts on this.
6moI like the last one- definitely always be closing with specific examples, to showcase why your the right fit
