Stop Preparing for Their Interview Questions and Start Focusing on Your Stories

Stop Preparing for Their Interview Questions and Start Focusing on Your Stories7 Jul17 min

One of the biggest mistakes job candidates make is preparing for the wrong thing.

They spend hours trying to predict which interview questions they'll be asked.

They search for lists of the most common questions.

They memorize answers.

They rehearse responses.

And then they walk into the interview hoping they guessed correctly.

There's just one problem, I mean, other than this giving me heartburn.

That's not how you score the best in interviews.

The strongest candidates aren't focused on the questions.

In fact, they don't give one hill of beans about them.

They're focused on something else entirely.

This something makes interviews less stressful.
