Convert Your Job Interview Into An Exciting Job Offer

(7.3) Send This Instead of a Thank You Note

by

It may be one of the most commonly dispensed pieces of job-search advice, but sending the ‘right’ thank you note after an interview really is crucial.

Here’s the deal with thank-you notes:

* If you’re not the best candidate for the job, a thank-you note isn’t going to change that. No one is going to hire a less qualified candidate just because of a thank-you note.

* If you’re the undisputed top candidate, the lack of a thank-you note probably isn’t going to stop you from being hired.

* However, when the decision is close between you and another candidate, a right type of thank-you note can definitely tilt the scales in your direction.

There are hiring managers who don’t care at all about thank-you notes. But that shouldn’t dissuade you from sending them because there are also plenty of hiring managers who will tell you that a thank-you note has swayed their hiring decisions.

And as the candidate, you have no idea which type you’re dealing with … so of course you should send thank-you’s.

The problem is that most job seekers waste their time by sending send a note that has no chance of ‘sealing the deal’.

If you want the job, this is what you should send after an interview….

(7.2) Keep In Touch For More Success

by

Companies know that some potential customers will be ready to buy today. Some customers will be ready to buy next week. Others will be ready next month. Some, a few months from now.

Companies rely on the concept of “multiple touch” (think Amazon) because they know there’s a good chance that customers may need their products sooner or later.

Likewise, you want to keep in touch with the hiring manager until they make their hiring decision.  (Actually – if you don’t receive the job offer and you’d still like to work at the company – I recommend staying in touch for up to a year with the hiring manager.  I describe why and how in another training module in the Interview Breakthrough Program.)

In this module will learn how to keep in touch with hiring managers in a methodical and positive way that builds your relationship and credibility to improve the chances that you get the job offer.

(6.2) Align Your Experience With The Position

by

The easiest and most effective way to prove you have the skills to do the job you’re interviewing for, build your credibility, strengthen your connection to the interview, and be memorable… is to tell stories during your job interviews.

Stories are more powerful than you may know. Stories are up to 22 times more memorable than facts alone. Our brains are just more active when we’re listening to a story. Stories engage the interview and help them feel the experience.

What’s the best way to create stories for your interviews?  Follow the step-by-step formula in this training video so you can rise to the top of the interview’s list.

(6.1) Ace Your Phone Interviews

by

You just learned that you won a job interview for a position that excites you — but there might be a slight catch.

Your first interview likely won’t be face to face. Instead, you’ll probably have a phone interview.  If you do well in the phone screening, it’s likely you’ll be invited to meet with employees in person for the next interview.

Many companies use phone interviews as an initial employment screening strategy. Because they’re generally brief, phone interviews save companies time. So the chances are pretty good that, at some point in your job hunt, you’ll be asked to participate in 20-minute or so phone interview with either one or several employees.

In many ways, the way you prepare for a phone interview isn’t all that different from the way you’d get ready for a face-to-face interview — except for a few slight changes to your preparation tasks.

Here are those tasks…
