Employer's Point of View - Lessons from a Seven Year Old.
End with a period
Growing
up with my big sister, we had that sibling rivalry thing down pretty well. One day we were drying dishes together when
she dropped a dish (kblambo) and it shattered on the floor. Sh-sh-sh-shoomph she flew out of the kitchen like
a low-flying jet.
I
bent over to pick up the broken dish when my mother walked in, angry about the kblambo
she heard from the other room. I explained
to her with no real energy or conviction”well, my sister did it... She
dropped it... really...?”
Though
I knew the truth (complete with sound effects), when I explained it, it sounded
like I wasn't sure...? Like
maybe I was making it up...?
How
does this help you? Before seeing an
employer, review
what you plan to say about your
skills/experience that will make you a valuable employee.
Practice it out loud making certain
you end statements with a period. Like
you know what you're talking about because you know you better than
anybody else.
Remember: whenever an employer's mind wanders, it wanders away from you. When
something is open to misunderstanding NOT in your favor, that's generally the
direction it will go because the employer tries to avoid guessing and tries to never guess
wrong about hiring. If you leave room
for mind wandering, they will wander away from positive thoughts about
you.
How
to keep them from wandering? Know your points and express them with
a period. Only way to that is practice
out loud.
Making It Work:
Review what makes you qualified for the job, your answers to the three main interview questions |(why hire YOU, why do you want to work for me and "tell me about yourself), your commercial,
other aspects of the interview and sound confident, out loud with what you have
to say. Practice three times on three
different days to get it right.
