10 Interview Points That Leave Them Wanting More
You want to leave a lasting impression at your next interview? Here are ten helpful  tips to impress the interviewees and land that great job:
1. Be yourself! People hire individuals they like. You might be the most qualified, but if you’re not likable that job is going to go to someone else.
2. Don’t try so hard. Similar to #1, don’t try to be what you think they want—just be yourself.
3. Make sure the job is a good fit for YOU. A good match comes from finding a good fit on both ends. Don’t change yourself to make the fit happen—that will only hurt you in the long run.
4. Understand company challenges and offer solutions.  Do research before going into your interview and offer some ideas of how you could help with key problems the company is facing. This shows the interviewees directly the value of hiring you.
5. Show that you can apply your research! Many will have done research on the company, but what will set you apart is how you apply that research. Show how you can make a difference in their world.
6. Talk about what’s in your CV and cover letter. Let’s face it—you’re not the only one interviewing for this role. Remind them about the most important points in your CV and cover letter to make you more memorable.
7. Specificity is key! Be detailed about how you have handled challenges and achieved success. This direct story lends itself to you specific talent and expertise.
8. Stay positive. Whatever you do, don’t get negative. Don’t trash talk your current role. Focus on why this new role would be a good fit for you, why you’re the right hire for the job.
9. Say thank you...more than once. Of course you should thank your interviewees at the end of your in-person interview. But don’t forget a follow-up thank you (some suggest snail mail, some suggest email) to reiterate your interest in the role.
10. Give yourself plenty of time. Give yourself time on the front and back end of your interview. This gives you an opportunity to clear your head, not having to stress about rushing to and fro. You never know how long an interview will last, but you want to set yourself up for success as best you can.
The moral of the story? Do that research, be yourself, and show them why you are the best choice for the role. Happy hunting!
