Show Notes
When you sit before that hiring manager, it’s common to come in with the perspective of simply answering the questions that are asked. What if you traded that passive role with something more powerful?
You have more control over the conversation than you may think! Listen and discover how you can stand out and showcase your brilliance.
Tangible Takeaways
- You’re not at the mercy of the interviewer: you can control the conversation (and sometimes, you need to!)
- Know in advance what you want them to know about you, and make a list of questions you want them to ask. Come prepared!
- Practice your PPU formula (this stands for personal, professional, and unique.) This will set you apart from the rest right away.
- Show don’t tell: give a behavioral example. Stories of challenges you’ve overcome or examples from past experience help tremendously.
