Yikes! I haven't interviewed in ten years...

Interviewing can be intimidating, especially if you haven't done it in a while. for me interviewing is more of an art than a science. The most important piece is to be sure you truly know your product (YOU). It is very much like a sales process, in this instance you are the product and the company you are applying to is the buyer. So how do you best pitch your product and hook them?

  • Be able to simply and succinctly convey the value you will bring to the organization - Your Personal Brand

  • Do your research - this is a biggie. Your role is to look beyond the written job description and understand the pain points. In other words if you are an accomplished professional and seeking a similar role, you have likely been through and solved some of the same challenges this company is facing. Even if it's a career change situation, you can do research and speak with others in similar roles to find out what ways you will be able to bring value to the position

  • Practice, Practice, and practice some more - enlist a family member or friend to help you go through a mock interview

  • Check out the latest in interviewing trends and be prepared - this includes video interviewing, panel interviews, and behavioral based interviewing
