The goal of a job interview is to get called back for a follow up conversation. Here’s how you can make that happen.
As a former hiring manager, I have an inside scoop on…
What it takes to get called back after your initial job interview.
Most hiring managers create a yes pile of about 8-10 people.
The yes pile means they are interested in getting to know you better, i.e., calling you in for a second interview.
You, of course, want to be in that pile!
A great way to set yourself apart from the other candidates in your job interview (and get into that yes pile) is to reverse engineer your story.
Reverse engineering is easy.
And as long as you stay in integrity, it’s a crafty way to make a great impression.
All it takes is a little research about the position you are applying for.
Find out what they need in terms of skills, experience, and qualifications.
Get an idea of what the ideal candidate looks like, and then (with 100% integrity, of course), present yourself in such a way that demonstrates you have the skills and qualities they are looking for.
You want the hiring manager to feel like you are the answer to their prayers!
This makes an instant connection that won’t be easily forgotten.
Is your work situation frustrating you? Do you hate your job, but have no idea what to do instead? Attempting to navigate those waters without support is not fun (yes, I do know, but that’s another story). I’m excited to announce that I’ve created The Job I Love Toolkit, with all the resources you’ll need to finally clarify how to get paid to do you.TM To be the first to hear more details, join the VIP Wait List.
And if you know a friend or neighbor who could use hearing the advice in this article or needs The Job I Love Toolkit, please forward this to them.
