\"Number<\/a>While a lot advice will tell you what not<\/em> to say in a job interview (don\u2019t badmouth your boss, don\u2019t ask about salary in the first five minutes, etc.), there isn\u2019t much advice on what you really should <\/em>say during those precious 45 minutes. What can you say to a recruiter so that when you leave the building, there is no doubt that you are a candidate well worth considering? To help answer that question, here are ten \u201cmust say\u201d ideas for your next interview:<\/p>\n

Your Specific Value to This Employer<\/strong><\/p>\n

So many job seekers walk into an interview with an \u201cI can do anything asked\u201d and \u201cI\u2019ll take anything\u201d approach. You earned the interview because the recruiter saw something specific in you; something that told them you are more than capable of doing this job. Know what that is by comparing branding to the job description. Focus on the major commonalities. Everything else is a nice-to-have\u2026 but won\u2019t win you this job.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Your Knowledge of the Mission<\/strong><\/p>\n

Demonstrating that you are not just familiar with the mission of the organization, and knowing how your value will help accomplish that mission, puts you in the top 5% of all candidates. This is more than \u201cdo your homework.\u201d This is making sure you fully understand not just what the company does, but why they do it and what difference it makes.<\/p>\n

Your Knowledge of the Industry<\/strong><\/p>\n

At some point in the interview, the recruiter is going to test you. Do you really know the industry, like your resume and LinkedIn profile says you do? Do you know the major players and influencers? Are you familiar with the most popular industry terms, and even buzzwords? If there are software packages that are standard (Radian6 for social media, Salesforce for sales, etc.), are you familiar? If not\u2026 busted.<\/p>\n

Where You\u2019ll Be 5 Years From Now<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, everybody hates this question. Yes, it requires a ton of thought, and even some wild guesses. And you are probably wrong; after all, very few of our 5-year plans go exactly as planned. And that is okay. The employer doesn\u2019t care what you plan, or how close to right you\u2019ll be. They care\u2026 that you care. They want you to be thinking ahead, and they want to know where they fit in.<\/p>\n

Relevant Stories That Make the Recruiter Believe<\/strong><\/p>\n

Every good interview \u2013 the kind that results in job offers \u2013 comes with very good stories. Don\u2019t just say you are a good leader and mentor; frame it in a story. Don\u2019t talk about how you made a difference; tell the tale. Anyone can say they are this or that without substantiation \u2013 which is exactly what most of your competition will do. You, on the other hand, know that storytellers make the best sellers.<\/p>\n

Numbers, Percentages and Dollars<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just like everyone needs a good story, everyone needs to frame those stories with impact. And nothing shows impact like numbers, percentage signs and dollar signs. By what percentage did you exceed expectations? How many clients did you manage? What was the budget you operated under? These quantified statements show that you aren\u2019t only a good storyteller, you understand the impact of your work from a business perspective.<\/p>\n

\u201cI Don\u2019t Know, But\u2026”<\/strong><\/p>\n

With a hat-tip to Matha White in Time, these words can make the difference between being seen as a smooth-talking know-it-all in over their heads and a person fully self-aware of their current capabilities. When asked a question you really don\u2019t know the answer to, and rather than blurt out a 7-minute soliloquy that does nothing but prove that, simply utter these words, followed by how you would find the answer: \u201cI don\u2019t know, but\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Questions That Make the Interviewer Think<\/strong><\/p>\n

True: \u201cAsk good questions!\u201d has become clich\u00e9 advice. Just because it\u2019s a clich\u00e9, however, doesn\u2019t make it true. You will be judged on the quality of the questions you ask. So plan ahead, and form a list of 5 questions that will make the recruiter actually think about the answer. And don\u2019t just wait until asked if you have any questions; make the interview a two-way conversation by injecting your questions at the first available opportunity.<\/p>\n

That Your Sights Are Set on THIS Job<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, it\u2019s difficult to tell every interviewer that THIS job is your version of a dream job. Often, that just isn\u2019t true. But to say this \u2013 and really mean it \u2013 for at least an hour or two, you have to believe it. You have to tell yourself why this job at this company would work well for you. Look only at the positives; for now, leave all the negatives behind. Then be able to talk about those positives in an enthusiastic manner, so the recruiter knows that getting THIS job is your top priority.<\/p>\n

That You Will Be Following Up<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finally, at the very end of your interview, you must set expectations for follow up. After all, if this job really is where your sites are set, wouldn\u2019t you do everything possible to make sure you are in the running? Ask when the hiring decision will be made, and then base your follow-up plan on the answer. And no matter what plan develops, get that thank you email out within 24 hours of the interview! During your next interview, look for the opportunity to work these tips<\/a> into the conversation\u2026 and leap well ahead of your job seeking competition!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
