Tactics
Interviews
- Using the STAR Method for interviews will help you gain action in the interview process by presenting yourself as a candidate of recognition. STAR means: situation, task, action and result. Read more about it here.
- Build a list of questions to ask back to people to build a conversation in interviews. You want to follow the mindset that you are interviewing the company as well. Some examples are:
- What are you expecting from me in 90 days?
- What databases does your company use?
Conversation Building
- Build a list of questions that people ask you all the time and develop a list of answers towards this. (I learned this from a coach). Examples can be where did you go to school, how are you going today etc.
- Remember that you can always try again with conversation building. The first thing you can do is ask people how they are doing and ask about something they are passionate about. Show genuine interest with questions and dialogue and you are building conversation.
