10 Tips for Interview
So here goes...
1. Attitude is everything. If you're smiling, excited and
optimistic, you've already won half the battle. If you're
cold, distant and uninterested, you've already lost 99% of
the battle.
2. Be yourself. If you act like someone else and they like
you, they don't actually like YOU. They like the person
you're pretending to be. If you end up getting a job there,
you won't be able to keep up the facade for very long
anyway. Honesty and authenticity are very appealing
characteristics. If both parties stay true to themselves,
they'll know if they're right for each other. And in the
end, that's usually what matters most.
3. Relax. Interviews are not really interviews at all.
They're conversations. Treat them like conversations, and
the tension will slowly dissolve. Remember: when you walk
into that office, you don't have the job to begin with. In
theory, you have nothing to lose. You either come out way
ahead or back where you started. If you approach the
situation with a "win-draw" mentality, most of the pressure
will fall by the wayside.
4. Appearance counts. Before you meet people, virtually the
only judgment you can make is based on aesthetics. What
you're wearing matters. What they're wearing matters. How
you sit, stand, shake hands, hold your pen and walk up the
stairs counts. Not enormously, but enough. First impressions
are huge. Also, how does the building look? Is the lobby
clean and organized? Are the cubicles bunched together? Is
the ceiling high or low? Does it look like a fun place to
work? Does it invite you to come back?
5. Fit is crucial. All the smarts, skills and experience in
the world mean nothing without the right fit. If your values
aren't aligned with those of the company, you're doomed. If
you like to have fun and they're always serious, don't even
bother. Seriously. The more you fit in, the more you'll want
to come back every day and bust your butt. If you're always
at odds with your coworkers, you're going to hate your job.
Simple as that.
6. Liking means more than talent. The days of standing in
line and putting decals on widgets is over. People don't
hire you because you're capable. They hire you because they
want to work with you. If you don't get along, and get along
well, the interview will probably be fruitless. Unless, of
course, you applied for the "Assistant Placer of Decals on
Widgets" position...
7. Be persistent. It's incredibly easy to get lazy, give up
and feel sorry for yourself. People will turn you down,
never call you back, and forget your name over and over
again. None of that matters. What matters is perseverance.
If you can't handle losing a few battles along the way,
you're in for a tough road ahead. Getting a job is like
winning a war. It takes patience, planning, time, effort,
dedication and a little bit of luck. The chips will fall
your way sooner or later. If you stay persistent, you'll at
least give yourself a chance to catch them.
8. Bring an insane amount of (intelligent) questions.
Nothing feels worse that not being prepared. If you don't
bring loads of questions, you're not prepared. At some
point, the interviewer will ask you what you want to know.
For the record, you want to know everything. Be curious. Be
interested. Be engrossed. Ask your question, and then get
ready to listen. Don't think of what you're going to say
next. Just soak up every word like a giant sponge. The more
questions you ask, the more you'll get out of the
experience. And as a bonus, they'll know you care deeply
about their business. When you care about what they care
about, you both start to align, and that's when the magic
happens.
9. Focus on their needs, not yours. It's tempting to sell
ourselves, to talk about how great we are, and to show off
our past experiences. But guess what. No one cares. What
they really care about is how your "amazingness" will
translate into success for their company. Don't focus on
your talents, focus on what your talents will do for them.
10. Blogging will give you a HUGE leg up. Blogging forces
you to analyze, collaborate and create solutions. It also
gives you plenty of ideas for improving customer
experiences, businesses and relationships. These skills
(among countless others) will give you confidence, poise,
energy and know-how when it comes time to explain yourself.
Your insights will be sharper, your thinking will be deeper,
and your ability to express your opinions clearly and
concisely will be much stronger. Blogging will prepare you
better than any "How-To" book in the world. Trust me.
These 10 things are just the tip of the iceberg. There is so
much more we can learn from each other about this process as
a whole, so please feel free to share.
