TIPS and TRAPS:
$ Relax. Remember you need the right job, and your mission is to be your best self.
! Forgetting that employers are looking for evidence that you are right person for the job.
$ Prepare and visualize the interview outcomes in advance. Why might they want to hire you?
! Using the ‘Tell me a little more about yourself’ to give them concerns you can’t do the job.
$ Prepare examples prior to a ‘Behavior Based Interview’ (tell us about a time when…)
! Overselling your needs for a good job — one without the mistakes you just came from.
$ Its practical, not pollyanna, to be prepared to express the good things you learn and offer.
