Something to be dreaded. A time when we have too much focus on us\u2026 often to the point we feel we can\u2019t just relax and be ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I have a new perspective that may help alleviate some of the discomfort of this most dreaded aspect of your job search strategy!<\/p>\n<h2>If your aim is finding your dream job, (I sure hope it is), you are looking for a position that will give you an opportunity to shine as your best self.<\/h2>\n<p>You are interested in discovering all the ways in which the things you are good at are just what the interviewer is looking for.<\/p>\n<p>With this in mind, you can walk into the interview with the focus on the needs of the interviewer.<\/p>\n<p>Think of your interview as an <a href=\"https:\/\/internalgroove.com\/2023dev\/it-takes-two\/\">investigation into exactly what the interviewer is looking for<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Ask your own questions to determine the answers you are seeking.<\/h2>\n<p>Set out to discover all the places where your special skills, gifts, talents and experience can help fill in the missing pieces for this prospective employer.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially, this technique puts the focus on <a href=\"https:\/\/internalgroove.com\/2023dev\/inquiries-required\/\"><i>what\u2019s in it for them<\/i><\/a>, rather than how you may be performing. This shines the light on the interviewer instead of on you. It puts you in a position of a contributor.<\/p>\n<p>By thinking more about what you can give to them and their company, you will be less interested in whether they like you or not.<\/p>\n<p>Try this little experiment out the next time you have an interview.\u00a0 Put yourself in the shoes of the interviewer instead of shaking in your own.<\/p>\n<p>You will find yourself more relaxed, more confident\u2026 and most importantly, a more impressive and effective interviewee.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the most daunting aspects of interviewing is the feeling that the spotlight is on you.
