WHAT CAN YOU PUT ON THE TABLE?
May 14th, 2006
When you are being interviewed for a position, you are viewed as an expense. The hiring authority is trying to figure out who will provide them with the quickest return on their investment. You can not enter an interview expecting it to be a simple question and answer exercise.
You need to look back in your past work experience and identify your accomplishments and the impact they had on your employers. You need to have this person SEE you in the job! Stress all the skills, experience and positive personality traits that you bring to the table.
When you are asking questions, ask for clarification of what is most important to the hiring authority in the interviewing process, and focus on those areas.
Interviewing is two strangers meeting for the first time who hopefully click. When you arrive prepared, confident and skilled, you have greatly increased your chances of getting hired!
