Don’t Wing Your Interview – Create a Strategy

Plan Your Interview StrategyIt is quite an understatement to say, the world of work, hiring, and interviewing has changed. How and where and what we do for work is flipped, altered, or challenged. Interviewing is no different—so many questions.

          • Should I shake hands?
          • When asked to talk about myself, where should I begin?
          • How and when should I follow up afterward?
          • Is the cover letter required? What about a thank you note?
          • How do I explain what I did during the pandemic?
          • Should I talk about my early career if unrelated to the position?
          • Am I expected to have questions or just give answers?
          • How do I manage a video interview?
          • Will my resume get through the ATS computer scan?

Confidently delivering a coherent snapshot of your capability while navigating the interview process requires creating a strategy. Most questions can be resolved with research about the process and updating your preparation. Your main objective is to develop a strategy that propels you toward a successful interview that leaves a memorable impression.
