Question for ya…
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.
Here is a capital “T” truth…
Most people report work history.
Few, if any, tell real stories.
Almost no one uses those stories to sell who they truly are.
But that’s exactly what interview storytelling should be.
This week’s video is one of the most important lessons I can give you on how to elevate your interview game and position yourself as THE standout candidate.
Excitement alert: You will squeal with glee if you’ve ever wondered I’m just a cog in the wheel and my background feels narrow. I’m not sure how to sound valuable or impactful.
What you’ll learn alert:
- The real purpose of storytelling in interviews (big hint: it’s not just to explain what you did).
- Why sounding “too junior” is a storytelling issue, not an experience issue.
- Bulletproof way to reframe your stories so they show off your big-picture thinking and leadership qualities.
You’re not just there to fill a role.
You’re there to drive transformation.
To show them what’s possible when they hire you, you need to…
STOP telling tasks.
START selling you.
You’ve got more to offer than just your recent “job title.”
Now it’s time to tell that story.
