How to Superbly Deliver the Best Job Interview Answers
The best job interview answers come in the form of mimicking. No not in a teasing fashion but with the use of repeating the question and delivering answers via analogies. In fact this is one overlooked strategy that I guarantee you will help you get to the next round of interviews. That's because analogies allow the interviewer to see you in action. You can display your skill level and your ability to tackle future challenges.
Say your going for the position of dental assistant. The best way to answer any position or skill related questions is to bring up a scenario that relates to the job. How do you do this? Well obviously first you have to do your research on the company and position in detail. But the real trick is to know how the business operates with its clientele (patients).
My point here is that you have to always relate it back to their bottom line. 90% of people come into interviews no matter what their background and say nonsense like "I am a problem solver" without thinking about their answers. But the best job interview answers clarify that you are a problem solver without you ever having to actually say it.
I mean if you think about it is really lame to say your a "problem solver." The position itself exist so that you solve a problem in their company. In my analogy with the dental assistant the dentist needs help with prep work. Thus hiring a dental assistant solves a problem (duh moment I know). So I think it is a poor response when a question like "what are your top skills?" is answered with "I am a problem solver".
A bird doesn't tell you he is a bird. He sings like a bird and we all get the point. Begin to think of scenarios you can present to your interviewer. Because scenarios allow you to answer several questions at once. Some of which before the interviewer even asks.
The best answers deliver solutions before they are asked. The best job interview answers relate to the company and the position. The best answers are crafted and communicated after research into the position and company.
And that is how you superbly out perform your competition in the interview and get the job done.
