Securing Your Future
/Just imagine the scenario...
In these most difficult of times for finding a new job, you have done all the hard work and managed to secure a final stage interview for a role that looks a really good fit for you (and maybe one that you urgently need to secure). Yet despite feeling confident and putting in what you think was a good interview performance, you somehow fail at the final hurdle. And maybe this is not the first time that this has happened.
So what to do differently...
A job interview is of course a tough solo pursuit and there will always be the possibility that other candidates will be more prepared and/or better qualified than you. And right now there are very many talented individuals competing for each quality job available.
You obviously cannot have any influence over the competition, however what you can control is the degree to which you stand out and make impact at interview; and you can exercise this control by ensuring that you are rigorously and thoroughly prepared for the interview and capable of fully showcasing your talents and reducing your risk of failure.
At Brosna, we know that by preparing for a job interview with a skilled coach, you can massively improve your chances of success in securing your targeted role. And what makes us so confident about this is that over many years we have applied a highly rigorous and systematic process to help people stand out at interview producing very many successful outcomes.
A short-list interview may well be a critical turning-point in your career. Make or break in the moment to determine if you can either significantly move forward to new success or find yourself having to recycle and start your search again. So our simple message is this - leave nothing to chance.
And if you are really determined to give yourself the best chance of succeeding at interview then our recommended ingredients for success include:
▶️ Partnering: don’t do it alone. Invest in and partner with a skilled interview coach who will work closely and privately with you to rigorously put you through your paces close to your impending interview.
▶️ Matching: consciously match your skills and capabilities to that of the advertised job so that the only significant content you are providing in response to questions is directly relevant to what the employer is looking for.
▶️ Learning Techniques - develop and practice some simple, powerful and memorable techniques so that you can succinctly and impactfully describe your capabilities to the interviewer.
▶️ Telling Compelling Stories - learn how to describe your successes as a series of compact and compelling stories that illustrate the full extent of what you have achieved and how.
▶️ Practicing, Practicing and Practicing Again - use your coach to role-play the interview and act as a probing interviewer so that you can practice repeatedly your responses to anticipated tough questions.
▶️ Receiving Feedback - seek feedback from your coach on how you come across under the pressure of interview; video-record and playback your practice interviews so you can critically appraise the quality of your content, expression and body language and use this to modify your approach
