Interview Tips

1. Do more than just basic research.

Don't just research the company. Research its people -- especially the people you may possibly meet when you interview.

2. Use your research to prepare your sound bites.

Identify 10 to 15 examples of how you solved problems or demonstrated key behaviors that your research has indicated your target employer seeks. Try to list recent examples whenever possible. Then flesh out each example, giving each one a title and putting it into story format.
  • "Describe a situation where you had to convey an organizational decision that was controversial to your management team, your staff, or to employees throughout the organization."
  •  "Tell us about a situation where you developed trust with other leaders in your organization."
  • "Tell us about a goal you failed to achieve."

3. Prepare to answer behavioral questions using the SAR format.

Answers to behavioral-based interview questions should be structured Situation, Action, Result: What was happening, what you did in response, and how things turned out.

4. Prepare for common interview questions.

While some job interviewers will ask at least one unusual question, most will ask at least a few of the following:
  • "Tell me about yourself."
  • "Why do you want to work for (this company)?"
  • "What is your greatest strength?"
  • "What is your biggest weakness?"
  • "Why are you leaving your job?"
  • "Where do you see yourself in five years?"
  • "Are you interviewing with any other companies?"
  • "Describe what diversity and inclusion means to you, and why it is important in this position."
  • "What makes you more likely to succeed in this role than other applicants?"
  • "What are you most proud of in your career?"
  • "What do you know about our company culture?"

5. Make sure you make a great first impression.

Research by Monster.co.uk shows that employers are highly influenced by their first impressions of candidates. This means that your personal presentation, the small talk you make, and your response to the typical first interview question, "Tell me about yourself," really matters. So make sure you're ready.

6. Establish rapport with the interviewer.

Expressing interest in the company, the job, and even the interviewer will definitely boost your likability.

7. Ask for the job.

At the end of the interview, close by saying something along the lines of, "Thank you for taking the time to meet with me today. I enjoyed learning more about (something specific). I am interested in the direction of (a particular) project. I look forward to continuing this conversation." And if you know you want the job, say so. Don't leave any ambiguity. If you're excited about the opportunity and want to move forward with the company, say it. People want to hire people that really want the job. Sometimes you really do only get what you ask for.
