Research has shown that people engage and remember information presented in a story better than when they hear the facts alone.
At a job interview, employers expect that you will to be prepared with concrete examples of your skills and experience. General and theoretical answers will not impress. Do your research in advance and know what each specific employer needs. Write down typical questions that an employer will ask. It is possible to anticipate questions that specific employers will ask for a specific job posting. Examine the job posting carefully. When you know what they need you can be prepared to tell them “What’s In It For Them” (WIIFT)
Structure your answers into stories.
It’s a story but its not fiction. Keep it real with specific examples and concrete evidence! Stories are a powerful way to present real life examples of your work experience and concrete evidence of your skills and abilities.
Be prepared to tell your story and let your confidence shine!
