An article gives young people ideas about acing the job interview. Getting your foot in the door is key, and interview prep is the important factor.
Main point: “You want to paint a picture of your accomplishments through concrete, detailed examples.”
More about it:
- “…know how to communicate effectively.”
- “…that your skill level is so high, the people you work with also benefit from it.”
- Use “your supervisor’s comments.”
- Show “that you are so skilled at something, it became a general sentiment about you.”
- Show that you “will have a positive impact on company culture.”
- Show that “your networking skills are inherent to relationships in both your personal and professional lives.”
A response technique I learned was SAR:
- Situation: What was I faced with?
- Action: What did I do?
- Result: What was the outcome?
