Are You Really Interview Ready?

After all, you’re smart, you’ve got the right attitude, you’ve hired lots of employees and you’ve successfully managed high profile projects. Come on…interviewing isn’t new.

Today’s job market, to say the least, is not ideal – why? For one, job losses are in the millions (over 4 million), and secondly, for every job opening there are multiple highly qualified candidates. So, how will your resume get the hiring manager’s attention, and how will you receive the favorable nod for an interview over the competition?

A major advantage is to be prepared. There’s no secret and no magic – but to improve your chances, preparation and focus are areas to invest your time and energy.

Be prepared --

• Present your best resume

• Present your best self

• Present your best knowledge and skills

• Know the organization

Best resume --

If you have not updated your resume over the past year, consult a certified resume writer. This will assure you have a resume that is marketable and presents the best you.

Best self --

Be focused in your communication, be polished in your image and be aware of who you are meeting, know what they are looking for and understand the environment.

Best knowledge and skills --

This is the time to separate yourself from the competition. Listen carefully to the question(s) being asked and respond to interview questions with confidence and credibility. Let your leadership and bottom line competencies propel you forward and upward.

The Organization --

Know where the company is and where they are going. Impress on how you can add value to the success of helping them get there.

Now you are really ready.
