Interviews = Business meetings.
See them like this and you’ll never lack confidence.
You wouldn’t go to a business meeting without knowing:
- who you are meeting with
- what problem they want to solve
- what you bring to the table
- knowing what your offer is
Connecting with recruiters?
Do one of the following:
1. Be relatable - “I saw we both know [mutual connection]/ we both attended [university/company]
2. Add value - “Saw your post on [X] I thought you would love this”
3. Compliment - “I loved your comment on...”
You never forget how a person makes you ~feel~
The same applies at interview.
If you’re the last candidate in a long day of interviews, what makes you stand out?
Be likeable.
Be personable.
Be memorable.
Networking isn’t just for current jobseekers.
Think ahead.
Connect with people in your dream companies.
So when you do come round to looking for your next position - you aren’t a randomer popping up for a favour.
My favourite LinkedIn job search hack.
It costs money to post a job to LinkedIn.
People often just post to their feeds.
Search:
“We’re hiring”+”[title]”.
