You’ve got the skills. You’ve done the prep. But the moment you walk into the room (or log into Zoom), it’s like you’re playing a different game. Everything seemed fine when you were doing the work and sailing through the projects. But to articulate that to someone who doesn’t know you…ugh...
When the interviewer asks you to “tell me about a time when…,” do you: A) Launch into a timeline of tasks you completed? B) Rattle off a list of responsibilities? C) Sound like your own resume? (Oy to the vey.) If so, don’t worry. You’re not alone. But you are probably leaving value on the table...

Today, it’s all about staying on track when you respond to interviewers. Whether your response is one minute, three minutes, or five minutes, it needs to be packaged with the right information, powerful words that paint a picture, and phrases that elicit the feelings you want the interviewer to have about you...
Feel like you never have enough time to prep for an interview? Ever been contacted by an employer who wanted to talk right away? And you deferred? BIG mistake.

If you ever feel rushed to prepare for an interview, one thing is certain…
