Do you know what the best companies look for during interviews?
In a January post (“What It Takes to Get Hired at One of the Best Places to Work“) China Gorman, the former COO and interim CEO of SHRM (Society for Human Resource Management) and current CEO for Great Place to Work Institute shared several insights from high-level recruiters.
These four interview pointers, from the post, will help you stand out and impress:
1. Being able to articulate your alignment with the company’s mission and values (and explain why they resonate with you);
2. Doing exceptional “homework” and truly understanding the business and key competitors going into an interview;
3. Being able to discuss how you plan to impact the company; and,
4. Demonstrating passion, curiosity, and (a big one!) innovation.
Employers and recruiters consistently share that interviewees who look good on paper (resumes and online profiles) don’t always impress in an interview.
Are you prepared to interview? Are you ready to articulate how you can impact the company and why the organization’s mission and values resonate with you?
Don’t walk into another interview and immediately be knocked out of the running. When you are prepared to interview, the interview becomes a great business conversation culminating in a plan to move forward.
I invite you to join me for the next one-day Interview Boot Camp at the end of March — or feel free to contact me if you have other questions on acing your interview.
