tip: try to jot down notes in your interview. it shows your dedication in picking up this role and it can also help on your next interview to maybe include in your talking points
I’d love for you to cover how to answer questions about long career/employment gaps in interviews as well as job docs.- you touched on it here and I’d love your more detailed take on that topic :) thanks for this really useful video!
Standing out in a job interview involves thorough preparation, confidence, and authenticity. Researching the company and role allows you to tailor your responses to align with the organization's goals. Highlighting your unique strengths and how they can address the company’s challenges sets you apart from other candidates. Asking insightful questions demonstrates engagement and critical thinking. Additionally, showcasing soft skills like communication and adaptability is crucial, as employers value candidates who work well in teams. Being yourself and expressing confidence will make you memorable, and following up with a personalized thank-you note reinforces your enthusiasm for the position.
I agree; it risks sounding arrogant or self-important, not to mention overdramatic. Perhaps a more moderate, "How I made a difference for the company" or "How my input shaped the success of the project" would accomplish the same thing without that loaded "rescue" wording.
Hello, thanks for the tips. Would you also be interested in covering salary negotiation, transferable skills and a versatile profile for a senior position, please?
I'm not sure if it was me or some other reason(s) that I didn't get the job but knowing these pointers could've helped. Some of them I instinctively went with (just keep going after you mess up), but I was ill prepared to say the least. I'm grateful I didn't get the job however, because it doesn't fit me and afforded me the need to search more and reevaluate the course I am taking.
Most companies will have a section in the job description or on their Careers page that addresses "accommodations" - usually an email address where you can request specific arrangements.
If you are male, try to look like Brad Pitt and if female, Angelina Jolie. Also have very close relationships with powerful people such as the president/prime minister or equivalent. These little things matter!

Telling your interviewer(s) "how I rescued the organization..." is not something that would go down well with many interviewers, this is a risky move.
Why not?
