Nail Your Next Interview<\/h1>\n

For most job candidates, the excitement of going after a new job<\/a> hinges on one big obstacle: the interview. Trying to pitch yourself to a potential employer can be an anxiety-inducing process, but it\u2019s because we often think of the job interview the entirely wrong way!<\/p>\n

Imagine walking into an interview. What would you be thinking about? Likely reminding yourself to keep eye contact and ensure a firm handshake, rehearsing your job history and those lists of skills and lessons. But what if, instead, you were thinking more about where <\/em>you were walking into: Was the interviewer on time? How easy was the application process? Did they welcome me genuinely?<\/p>\n

Forget the nerves and remember that you\u2019re interviewing them <\/em>just as much as they\u2019re interviewing you<\/em>! That mindset shift can help show you that an interview shouldn\u2019t be something to be feared\u2014but rather something to get excited about! It\u2019s a process that can show you your strengths, what you want to work on, and where you truly want to drive your career.<\/p>\n

Here are five simple ways to reframe your ideas about the job interview process so you can nail your next interview:<\/p>\n

Do Your Research<\/h2>\n

Often, our anxieties about the job interview may stem from our uncertainties: What if they ask me a question I don\u2019t know? What if I mess up? What if they can tell I\u2019m faking this confidence?<\/p>\n

Answer those questions with research! The more you know, the more truly confident you\u2019ll feel, and that can significantly ease the stresses of a job interview. Learn as much as you can about the organization and the role, and even the industry, to help you have the most informed conversation. Researching in advance can also start giving you the first sense of whether this job is for you.<\/p>\n

Have Meaningful Questions To Ask<\/h2>\n

We\u2019ve all heard the advice that you should always have one or two questions in your pocket to ask at a job interview. But don\u2019t just have them prepared to check the box!<\/p>\n

Steer clear of only asking questions about hours or pay or the next steps in the hiring process. Instead, think deeply about any concerns you might have about the position, your qualifications, the responsibilities or even the mission of the organization. That will show the interviewer that you\u2019re genuinely interested in advancing your career in the right place<\/a>\u2014and if they\u2019re the right place, it\u2019ll be a win!<\/p>\n

Rehearse, But More Importantly, Reflect<\/h2>\n

It\u2019s always a good idea to know ahead of time what you want to say in an interview\u2014but that can be more of a reflection process than a rehearsal. Looking back on your previous roles gives you a great opportunity to understand the experiences you\u2019ve had and the skills you\u2019ve gained. This provides valuable insight into where you\u2019re moving your career.<\/p>\n

Always Look For Alignment<\/h2>\n

As you\u2019re in the interview, keep your goal<\/a> top of mind: to find an employer and a role that are the best fit for you. Let that guide how you answer questions. When the interviewer asks about a previous work experience, for instance, let your answer connect to both your professional goals and what you understand to be the objective of this potential role. If that\u2019s an easy thing to do, that could be a great signal that this is a good fit for you.<\/p>\n

Be Yourself<\/h2>\n

If you get the job, you\u2019ll want to bring your whole self to work. So, be your whole self at the job interview! The less you\u2019re trying to project a certain image and just become comfortable with being yourself, the more at ease you\u2019ll be in the interview. That gives you the space to insightfully evaluate the potential job and to show the interviewer all that you have to bring!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
