Before a job interview I schedule, I talk with the job applicant about the job, the company, what they can expect on the interview, who they will be speaking with and send them the LinkedIn profile of the person and tell them to go to the company website.
Other than listen to the job description and the LinkedIn profile, you can tell who’s listening and who isn’t.
But this person actually did listen and he actually went to the company’s website researched the line of business that he would be working in and casually mentioned some things that were not in the job description but were on the website.
“That’s great,” the practice head said excitedly. “We need two people like you to do exactly that for different clients!
Now that’s the way to make a great impression!
