#CareerAdvice : #InterviewQuestions – Best Answer To The #InterviewQuestion ‘Why Should I Hire You?’ … Must REad!

/in /by

In today’s fast-paced world, you need a quick, concise, well-thought-out answer to capture the employer’s interest and make them decide to hire you.

The formula: creating your strategy

Examine your previous experience. Write out the major responsibilities for each job you’ve held. Note any special accomplishments. Zero in on your important work strengths—those abilities where you excel and are most productive.

Then, check with your contacts and use your network to get as much background as possible about the employer, the company, and the position’s needs. Check the hiring manager’s LinkedIn profile. Go to Glassdoor.com and read reviews of the organization. Many times, your contacts and research will point out the very aspects that must make up your 5 top selling points which I call, the 5 Point Agenda. Other times, there will be little information available and you will need to guess based on your general knowledge about performing the job.

Answer: Simply go to our FSC Career Blog below & type(#career, #leadership, #life) in Blog Search:  https://www.firstsun.com/fsc-career-blog/

What Skill Sets do You have to be ‘Sharpened’ ?

Continue of article:

After reviewing the position’s needs, determine which of your abilities and which aspects of your experience will be most important to the employer. Then create your 5 Point Agenda, selecting each point to build a solid picture emphasizing how you can do the best job. This is an important step as the 5 Point Agenda is the basis for creating your 60 Second Sell.

Before every job interview, you will customize your 5 Point Agenda to reflect the responsibilities of the job as well as the company’s goals and objectives. These five points are your basic building blocks to answer the interviewer’s questions. You’ll want to emphasize each of these points whenever the opportunity presents itself. The message the employer will hear is that you have the ability to perform and do well in the job—and it will give your prospective boss confidence in hiring you. On top of that, they likely will remember these aspects about you.

Here is the sample that Susan, 58, created about her role as a Human Resources Director. The company wanted to find a progressive HR partner to lead its organization. They needed a strategic leader. The client had heard about the position from a friend at an HR conference and wanted to go after the job. Her 5 Point Agenda needed to stress her achievements.

Example:

Human Resources Director

  • Point 1: Award-winning human resources leader.
  • Point 2: Providing strategic direction for the organization that was recently named a national best places-to-work company.
  • Point 3: Strong entrepreneurial drive was responsible for delivering new programs, HR systems, and major policy enhancements.
  • Point 4: A strategic and operational business partner working closely with top executives.
  • Point 5: Exceeds goals and expectations.

Your Verbal Business Card

The 60 Second Sell is a tool that helps you target your skills to meet the employer’s needs. It allows you to summarize your most marketable strengths in a brief and concise manner. Successful job hunters have found that the 60 Second Sell is the most influential tool they used during the interview process. They praised the tool for several reasons:

  • It was effective in capturing the employer’s attention.
  • It provided excellent, concise answers to tricky questions.
  • It was very easy to use.
  • It was a great way to end an interview.

The 60 Second Sell is a 60-second statement that you customize for each interview and that summarizes and links together your 5 Point Agenda. You will want to put the points of your 5 Point Agenda into an order that allows you to present them in the most logical and effective manner. When you link the ideas into sentences, they should be spoken in 60 seconds or less. Once memorized, this statement will be easy for you to recall and use during the interview.

Answering that tough question

Your 60 Second Sell is the perfect answer: Why should I hire you? This question is asking you to convince the employer to hire you. The 60 Second Sell is effective because it demonstrates your strengths and illustrates how you will fill the employer’s needs. That is the key to its success, and yours.

60 Second Sell Example

To clearly understand how your 5 Point Agenda is linked and becomes your 60 Second Sell, let’s continue with our earlier example; here is how we took Susan’s  5 Point Agenda and linked the points together to summarize them and create her 60 Second Sell.

Human Resources Director

“I’ve been an award-winning human resources leader with fif­teen years of experience providing strategic direction. I’m proud to share that my current employer was recently named a national best-places-to-work company. I am a global thinker who contributed to the company’s success as a strategic and operational business partner, and we have cut attrition by 60%. I display a strong entrepreneurial drive at work. I have been responsible for delivering new programs, HR systems, and ma­jor policy enhancements. My CEO has repeatedly recognized me for my innovative leadership that often exceeds goals and expectations.”

This encapsulates exactly why the employer should hire her. She has outlined her very best skills, experience and abilities. And it worked – Susan landed her dream job amongst steep competition. By following this formula, you’ll be able to sell yourself effectively too.

Explore Robin’s Book:  60 Seconds & You’re Hired 

The 60 Second Sell is your tool to achieve this. This 60-second calling card will summarize your skills, abilities and previous experience in a well-thought-out fashion that will immediately make the employer want to listen.

The 60 Second Sell is a proven shortcut to your success when asked the tough question, “Why should I hire you?” Client upon client has reported that using my 60 Second Sell approach was the best job search technique they’d ever used. It’s easy to create and easy to implement. Once you’ve learned this technique, your interviews will be greatly improved because you will be able to do the most important thing necessary to land a job—tell the employer exactly how you can perform his or her job.

It’s easy to look at someone with a great salary and think about how lucky they are. But the truth is, high-paying jobs aren’t as rare as they seem — in fact, they’re often the ones with the most available positions.

So if one of the following positions looks interesting to you, don’t wait — apply today before everyone else gets in on them!

#CareerAdvice : #JobSearch – How to Get Hired at the Best Places to Work.

/in /by

And with a total of 95,000 open jobs to choose from at 100 different large companies and 50 small and medium companies on the U.S. lists, there are roles for nearly everyone at the Best Places to Work.

But what exactly does it take to get hired at a top company? That’s the question we asked a handful of leaders at this year’s Best Places to Work. Read on for their insider tips on how you can stand apart from the crowd in order to find the job of your dreams.

1. Prepare for Out-of-the-Box Interviews

It used to be that interviews consisted of nothing more than a resume review, phone screen and in-person Q&A. But today, more and more companies are pushing the envelope in order to identify candidates who would truly thrive at their organization. For example, at Heap, the interview process is often a job simulation.

“We make our interviews resemble the actual day-to-day as much as possible. We have engineering candidates spend the day designing and building end-to-end features. We have sales rep candidates iterate on mock customer calls with us. We even have potential managers interview their future team to find patterns and produce a plan to improve execution,” shared Matin Movassate, CEO of Heap.

At Bain, on the other hand, certain positions require case interviews, “which are, at their essence, discussions about a business problem,” explained Manny Maceda, Worldwide Managing Partner.

And at Intuit, a core component of interviews is presentations. As part of their “Assessing for Awesome” (A4A) program, “candidates are given the opportunity to do a task or strategize in a similar way they would on the job, and then present to a small team that assesses for their ability to think creatively and strategically,” said Rick Jensen, Senior Vice President, People & Places at Intuit.

Regardless of where you interview, make sure to get the details on how interviews work there. One great way to do that? Glassdoor’s interview reviews, which contain insights from real candidates on what the interview process is, how challenging it is, what questions are asked and more.

What Skill Sets do You have to be ‘Sharpened’ ?

Continue of article:

2. Don’t Forget Soft Skills

A large part of your interview process will be dedicated to evaluating your hard skills to ensure that you are able to perform daily tasks, but these aren’t the only criteria on which you’ll be judged. Ask many recruiters, and they’ll tell you that soft skills are just as — if not more — important.

“Instead of calling them soft skills, I would actually call them essential skills,” shared Greg Muccio, Director of People at Southwest. “Some of the most crucial of these skills include: communication, teamwork, leadership, relationship-building, balance, reliability and dependability.”

Aron Ain, CEO of Kronos, agreed.

“Since we judge Kronites not only on what they do but how they do it, we place equal emphasis on behavioral and technical competencies. Relationship building, collaboration and communication are some of the key behavioral competencies, and we ask various questions to understand the candidate’s value system.”

3. Craft a Compelling Story

In nearly every interview, you’ll hear some variation of “Tell me about yourself.” You may be tempted to simply paraphase your resume in response, but that’s one of the biggest mistakes you can make. After all, if an interviewer wants to dig into your resume, they can just look at your resume. What employers really want to hear is a more holistic narrative about who you are, both at work and outside of it.

“From intern to executive, everyone at Shopify has had ‘the Life Story’ interview,” said David King, Director of Employee Experience, Diversity and Belonging at Shopify. “It’s a process we designed in our early days to help us get to know the real person, rather than their interview persona. Essentially, it’s a two-sided conversation about what you’re interested in, how you’ve shown up in different areas of your life and which accomplishments you value the most.”

Bernard J. Tyson, CEO of Kaiser Permanente, asks this question as well: “I ask [fusion_builder_container hundred_percent=”yes” overflow=”visible”][fusion_builder_row][fusion_builder_column type=”1_1″ background_position=”left top” background_color=”” border_size=”” border_color=”” border_style=”solid” spacing=”yes” background_image=”” background_repeat=”no-repeat” padding=”” margin_top=”0px” margin_bottom=”0px” class=”” id=”” animation_type=”” animation_speed=”0.3″ animation_direction=”left” hide_on_mobile=”no” center_content=”no” min_height=”none”][candidates] to share their story, their career journey and what they are passionate about accomplishing,” Tyson said. The three elements he uses to evaluate a candidate’s response are “the head, the heart and the guts.”

“I want to get a sense of the head — and how they think, work and take in information and synthesize it —  before moving forward. I want to understand their heart — and how they relate to and inspire others — their empathy and passion. And I want to understand how they tap their gut — what drives their ethical compass, what motivates them and how they make decisions,” Tyson explained.

4. Bring Your Whole Self

In an interview, there’s often a temptation to tell a recruiter what they want to hear. But if this is how you shape your responses, you’re not only doing a disservice to the interviewer — you’re also doing a disservice to yourself. Being honest about your background, skills and interests helps ensure that you find the job that’s right for you, while stretching the truth means you could end up in a job that you’re ill-equipped and/or not a good fit for.

“It is not a cliché when we ask candidates to be themselves in an interview. We genuinely desire that. Southwest is not a place where you have to separate your true self from your work environment self. We want you to bring your passions to our company to ensure this is the right fit,” Muccio said. “We are known for our values that make up what we call ‘Living the Southwest Way.’ Those are a Warrior Spirit, a Servant’s Heart and a Fun-LUVing Attitude. We challenge our recruiting team to only hire candidates who embody all three of these core values. It is the criteria on which we measure our employees, so the majority of our questions revolve around these three things.”

Ruta Singh, VP of Global Engineering & Product Recruiting at Facebook, said her company takes a similar approach.

“We want people who want to be here because their goals and interests align with Facebook’s mission. We want you to come in at the beginning of the day energized and ready to do your best work, and to leave at the end of the day feeling like you accomplished something meaningful,” Sing shared. “So when you’re getting ready to interview, understand that we really want to get to know you. Come ready to talk about what you know, but also who you are.”

5. Bring New Ideas to the Table

One of my favorite things to ask when I’m interviewing candidates is what suggestions they have for our program. I’m often surprised how often I hear responses like “It’s hard to think of anything — you’re doing such a great job!” It can be intimidating to share recommendations and ideas in an interview, knowing that you don’t have the same institutional knowledge as your interviewers. But often, that familiarity can lead to tunnel vision, which is why so many companies on the Best Places to Work list told us that outside perspectives are invaluable.

“Many organizations foster and encourage [candidates] wanting to explore, innovate and use their creativity. For example, at Cisco we have a culture that encourages innovation, no matter where an employee sits in the larger organization. We host innovation challenges to garner great ideas untethered to your role or business unit, and have had some great wins as a result,” said Macy Andrews, Senior Director of Human Resources at Cisco.

Tyson concurred, describing Kaiser as a “speak-up culture” where those who voice their opinions are appreciated.

“I want to know what’s on people’s minds, what they’re thinking — because I want to make the best decision, which can be derived from diverse perspectives. This only makes Kaiser Permanente better,” Tyson added.

6 Steps To Find Your Voice In The Workplace

6. Highlight Your Passion

What separates a good candidate from a great candidate? One word: passion. Even the most well-qualified candidate will fail to impress an interviewer if they aren’t enthusiastic about a company’s mission. So when you’re really excited about an opportunity, let your interviewer know.

“My hope is that whether a candidate is interviewing with me or others on the team, he or she comes away with a positive sense of the company and an understanding that a career with Boston Scientific is more than just a job. Our products help people live longer and better lives, so there’s a higher purpose to what we do,” said Michael F. Mahoney, CEO of Boston Scientific. “I want candidates to know that everyone here, regardless of job function, is united by the shared purpose of advancing science for life.”

Passion is so important to the talent acquisition teams at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital that they often hire candidates who have engaged with their organization before even applying to a job.

“We are fortunate to have a tremendous level of support for our institution. Often, someone is a part of St. Jude as a donor or a volunteer long before they’ve applied for a position with us. We are always excited to meet talented candidates who believe in our mission and feel connected to our institution,” said St. Jude VP of Human Resources Dana Bottenfield. “Our selection process zeroes in on a candidate’s knowledge, skills and ability. Then we expand the lens to uncover if the candidate connects with to our mission and values. Both of these are necessary to get the right candidate in the right role, and to ensure the candidate thrives once employed.”

Many employers feel they need to hire candidates who know their company’s industry like the back of their hands. But hiring outside of your given industry scope often can bring unique value that you might miss out on by hiring within your existing sector.

After all, a diversity of backgrounds and opinions is key to innovation. If you’re thinking about hiring someone from a different field, consider the following.

The candidate works in an adjunct industry where they currently are on the receiving end (customer) of the hiring company’s product or similar products from another company. While this candidate has service-industry experience, and the hiring company’s ideal position description seeks someone with manufacturing experience, they are open to those with different backgrounds.

Perhaps the candidate provides unique insight not only into what they like or don’t like about the product, but also about competitors’ products. As such, they can offer competitive intelligence that may be challenging to find elsewhere.

What Skill Sets do You have to be ‘Sharpened’ ?

2. HIRE A SALES CONSULTANT

The candidate has worked at an unrelated industry startup where they wore all hats, from sweeping the floor to managing the front desk, training, setting up sales calls and everything in between. While their official title is something like front office manager, it may be that they have been selling ideas or services throughout their tenure, without the title.

Bypassing them for a sales role because they don’t have the moniker or the specific industry experience could be a big mistake. Consider their ability to survive a startup, as well as influence the performance and operational success within a loosely defined, fast-paced structure that may drive revenue through the hiring company’s sales engine.

3. HIRE SOMEONE TO PAVE NEW REVENUE CHANNELS

The candidate has sold ABC widgets that are quite different from the DEF widgets the hiring organization markets. However, there is a specific channel of widget warranty sales (e.g., financial) experience that the candidate accrued that would transfer well to the hiring entity.

The candidate has a consistent record of skyrocketing sales and exceeding goals in every company they’ve worked, based largely on this unique financial acumen. If the hiring manager and this candidate can hammer out a deal contingent on their bringing that same expertise into a new widget market, then it could definitely be a win-win.

4. HIRE AN IDEAS PERSON

The candidate knows technology, and they’ve innovated repeatedly, applying their tech expertise in new and changing spaces within hypercompetitive environments. In some instances, the innovative ideas have been a shot in the dark and fell flat; but mostly, their ideas have culminated into revenue- and profit-generating coups that ultimately lined the pockets of ownership while also converting to salary security and long-term retention for the team members. For hiring companies in less innovative industries now finding themselves in increasingly competitive waters, the innovator candidate may be the answer.

5. HIRE A CHANGE LEADER

Inspiring leaders know not only how to capitalize on their reputation but are also genuine, thus getting people on board with change. The fact that they arrive from an unrelated industry is a clear advantage to their success as they won’t be bogged down in the industry politics otherwise associated with key leadership players.

6. HIRE LEADERSHIP WITH KEY CUSTOMER INSIGHTS

The candidate’s past manufacturing leadership role collaborating with executives and decision makers in top banking organizations could be helpful to a consulting company whose sole clients are financial institutions. The fact the candidate “gets” bankers and their core needs will be instrumental in closing large accounts and growing revenue.

#Leadership : #HiringEmployees – Here’s What Most People get Wrong about “Passion”….These Days, many People See Passion as Something they Either Have or Don’t Have. Here Are the Reasons Why That’s the Wrong Mentality.

/in /by

Yes, it’s cliché. But while we all seem to get that marriage requires more than a little love and affection, there’s still this pervasive myth that passion is the secret key to your career.

Don’t get me wrong. Passion counts for a lot, especially if you’re tasked with convincing someone to give you a shot.

When it comes to making career transitions for happiness, I’m not just a poster child–I’m a freeway billboard. In my own work, I’ve made not one pivot but three, and in each of those instances, I convinced someone to take a chance on me despite an unconventional resume. They saw something that didn’t fit on one page of cream-colored paper, and I benefited from that. So talking the talk definitely counts for something.

But there’s something about this post-millennial era that’s got it twisted (post-millennial Rihanna reference definitely intended). Too many of us have lost track of the nuances.

With the rise of buzzwords like “manifesting” and “passion projects,” there’s another underlying belief system at play: that wanting something badly enough actually makes you qualified to have it.

Much like a happily-ever-after plot line, underneath all the talk about boundless passion or a candidate’s personal goals-slash-dreams, there’s just not much meaning.

THE MYTH OF THE BIG ENTRANCE

I often see this mentality in cover letters when we’re hiring. Sentence after sentence argues (usually incredibly articulately) about how transcendent the experience of working with us will be.

“There’s nothing I’ve ever wanted more than to work at Career Contessa improving the lives of women every day.”

These are lovely words, and I imagine many people automatically react to them the same way I did: It feels good to hear that the work your company does means so much to someone. And it’s easy–especially after that ego boost–to think that their chutzpah equals professional tenacity. But does it really?

I’ve had an interview where someone told me I should hire her because she was ready to harness her abundant creativity. Others have told me they can’t wait for a flexible work environment that will let them explore their outside interests. Once, a 23-year-old told me that getting hired would help her grow her personal brand and following (lucky me?).

As I’m listening, there’s a common thread that’s hit-you-over-the-head clear, and it’s not “this person is star employee material.” It’s more like: me, me, me.

“I want a career that fulfills me.”

“I love that this job gives me flexibility, so I can work on my other projects.”

“This is the perfect stepping stone toward my ultimate goal of working for myself.”

It’s not that these are bad things to think, exactly–it’s that there are more complex thoughts and conversations to have. Thoughts like these are big-picture thinking taken to extremes like a climactic scene from some ’90s Meg Ryan movie. Much like a happily-ever-after plotline, underneath all the talk about boundless passion or a candidate’s personal goals/dreams, there’s just not much meaning.

Almost every time I’ve hired someone who sells solely their unbridled passion, breezing over their past work, or concrete experiences, I’ve come to regret it.

CUE THE FLAGGING DEDICATION

What these conversations lack is the collaborative element that real, lasting professional relationships need. Because if work is about innovation and empathy, there’s more to it than what any one of us wants to do. It’s about how we can adapt and change each other and do real work together.

There’s this inherent privilege in the passion-is-everything perspective, and maybe that’s why it bothers me so much. If you’re responsible for making rent and paying down student loans, you don’t get to plan your life solely around your passion projects. You earn time to focus on those, courtesy of a whole lot of hard work. So this idea that passion is The Answer, that’s reserved for a very few people–the ones who can “just quit” when the going gets tough.

Almost every time I’ve hired someone who sells solely their unbridled passion, breezing over their past work or concrete experiences, I’ve come to regret it.

They fail to meet deadlines. They balk at busy work. They give notice after three months because they’ve committed to too many other side projects. They’re the sort of personalities who wind up with two- or four-month jobs on their resumes and not much more. They fall through.

When you’re focused solely on the personal endpoint–your own success, full stop–how can you make space for all the work that needs to get done in between? And if your eye is only on the prize, how are you supposed to stay energized when the process takes longer than expected?

Newsflash: It always does.

AND THEN THERE’S THE PASSION JUDGMENT

There’s more to it than that as well. There’s also the fact that many of us don’t know what we’re passionate about, and thanks to the rise of the passion-first mentality, we tend to feel like we’re failing if we don’t. We look at others with all that conviction and energy, and we think they must have it figured out. That comparison can affect us in various ways, but the scariest is that it threatens to have an adverse effect: It can stunt our growth.

If you approach every job with an open perspective, chances are the experience will help you with your growth. Even a terrible job can teach you what industry suits you or make you realize what you’re innately great at. But if you don’t give it a chance–because it’s not what you think is your passion, right now, right this second–how will you ever really keep evolving?

Passion these days is a black-and-white myth. We tend to believe that either you have it or you don’t. And like most things, inflexible thinking will ruin us.

Work first, passion second. Because what is passion, really, if you’re not willing to fight for it?

GIVE ME THE DEDICATED DOERS, NOT THE PASSIONATE DREAMERS

I’m not interested in the passionate dreamers or the “currently working on” hustlers as much as I’m interested in the people who work in the gray zones somewhere in between. These are the people who never cease to impress and surprise you. They’re also the ones who challenge you. They make you think–and work–differently.

A friend of mine, a creative director for a fashion brand, once listened in silence as a 19-year-old told her that once her modeling career finished, she’d “just become a creative director since I love styling.”

Just become.

That friend climbed ranks over a decade one production assistant job at a time, worked 60-hour weeks or more, and moved across the country twice for new opportunities. She loves her job today more than anything, precisely because she worked her ass off to get there. Passion came later.

Work first, passion second. Because what is passion, really, if you’re not willing to fight for it?

There’s a similar adage that goes something like this, “Don’t do anything for five minutes that you wouldn’t do for five years.” It’s one that people rarely linger on, maybe because it makes us uncomfortable. Such a span seems dramatically out of sync with our iPhone-laden era. And that’s precisely why the five-plus-yearers are that much more impressive to me.

It’s not that I’m asking people to give up all their passion or to stick it out in a job that makes them miserable. But when I think about the sort of people I see with flourishing careers, they’re never the Passionates, they’re the Commitments. The ones who don’t treat “passion” as their everything but simply as the product of putting effort into working, questioning, and exploring. They’re not the biggest show-stealers, but they’re doing more than alright.
