Interview Prepping
4/4/2024
I helped a candidate prepare for an interview a few years ago, while training one of our new recruiters.
Out of the blue, this candidate reached back to me yesterday, he’s interviewing for a position with a different company.
Not through SCN – Search Consulting Network.
But he asked for assistance in preparing for the interview anyway.
Sure, I’ll help.
Here’s my best advice regarding modern interviewing.
Show a progression of proof when explaining something about yourself.
i.e. I designed XYZ Product.
Here it is on my resume.
Here is a copy of my design.
Here is the letter of congrats I got from success in designing this product.
i.e. I increased sales by 10% last year.
Here it is on my resume.
Here is a copy of my sales detail report showing this increase.
Here is the A+ performance review I received from this accomplishment.
Casualness has replaced professionalism in business.
So don’t be casual.
Stand out, by being professional.
Professional beats casual 10/10 on my scorecard.
Show your worth … with proof.
33-46, clouds.
Make it a great day, everyone!
