How To Sell Yourself As The Best Candidate
You know you’re the best candidate for this job. And you really want it.
But knowing it is one thing. Convincing the hiring manager is quite another. And it often comes down to the job interview. Your ability to sell yourself and communicate clearly in that interview can make the difference.
Of course, you know this. You just don’t know what to do about it.
Here are a few strategic choices you might make:
Plan out your interview strategy in advance by putting yourself in the mind of the hiring manager and imagining what types of questions they might ask. Practice your answers to those questions in advance.
Do your due diligence into the company so you come across as genuinely informed and interested.
In addition to being able to list your skills and attributes, be ready with anecdotes to illustrate them — stories where you are the definite hero.
Answer questions honestly. Yes, it’s a performance, to some extent. But it must be a genuine one.
Using these tactics will help you put your best foot forward and land that job!
