Ending the Interview

A lot of attention deservedly goes into how to effectively interview. Yet much of what goes into the advice you receive is strategic and not tactical. Most people who interview understand the theory of what they have to do but, because they under under pressure and have little experience with interviewing, miss many opportunities to take control of the interview in a good way and create a great impression.

I can’t help you obtain the experience you need to demonstrate to an employer that you are an extremely skilled and knowledgeable professional; I can help you with tactical approaches that will allow you to positively standout from your competitors.

If you ordered my book, “The Single Best Question You Should Ask on Any Interview” you have already learned the benefit of that powerful question and how it allows you a huge advantage in an interview.

But how should you end an interview? How do you create an impression that sticks in the interviewer’s mind that you are a fit?

Do you know how most people are asked the “Tell me about yourself” question? I want you to use a 30-60 second scripted version of your answer to that question as your closing to an interview.

And, to be clear, I don’t want you to babble some generalities about you and your experience. I want you to give them a 30-60 laser focused commercial that demonstrates your fit with the job that they are trying to fill.

Like in boxing where a fighter will try to end each round with a flurry to create a positive impression in a judge’s mind, answering in this way will help you put information into an interviewer’s mind that will help them see how you can do the job they need done.

Finally, after you have done this, just as you shake hands, I want you to say, “I want you to know how interpreted I am in the opportunity we’ve discussed and I look forward to hearing from you about the next step in your hiring process.”

ONLY DO THIS IF YOU ARE ACTUALLY INTERESTED!

If you do this all the time, you ruin things for other people who say the same thing and eventually people will start to remember you as someone who B.S.’s.
