Interviews are all about making an impression. Steve Martin’s timeless advice rings true: “Be so good they can’t ignore you.” Here are three ways you can be so good in an interview that you’ll be remembered for all the right reasons:
1. Energy. Hiring managers and search committees meet with many individuals. Does your enthusiasm for the role pierce through the repetitive monotony?
2. Authenticity. Are you expressing your own values and approach or were you parroting talking points? Ensure hiring managers hear your distinct character.
3. Solutions. Have you done your homework? Demonstrate your ability to competently discuss the position and ways your experience could enhance their mission.
