A Real Simple Secret to Delivering Interview Answers
OK I have talked a lot about body language, and approach and everything else. But now I am going to break down a simple secret piece by piece. These are a few that no one will usually admit to but they are very important.
Caring for the job without acting too much like you care: I know your saying to yourself "huh what did Scott just say?" (laughing) but the truth is that creating a sense of "we gotta get this person" helps. And that takes a certain finesse and positioning. See people can sense desperation. Just like a Dog senses fear.
You have to be confident but not over excited. So how do you do this?
Relaxation in your answers: I used to work with a guy who was so smooth that he got three job interviews he didn't even want. No seriously he was able to interview for jobs he didn't want. One day I asked him why he did that. He said that it helps him remember his relaxed state so when he did interview for the job he did he could come across cool and calm. Crazy huh? Yeah I thought so too until I tried it and it worked.
Show that you indeed have other things going on in your career. And these days thats easier to do versus the past. The internet and social media will definitely tell many tales in a positive way. That's a great way to show your mover and a shaker. The busier you look in your career the more options it may look like you have. Thus a company may have greater interest in your talents.
In conclusion the secret to delivering interview answers comes in several parts. Having the mindset of relaxation while building your image can make a significant difference. But the best part is that even if you don't get the job. Doing things this way will have you feeling better and stressing less as you keep moving.
