🎯 Mastering the Art of the Job Interview - 7 tips to help you excel: 1. PREPARE: Research the company, understand its core values and how it makes money. ✔️ At the very least! Please read the job description… (you’d be so surprised 😞) 2. PRACTICE: Anticipate questions, prepare responses and share relevant examples from your past experiences. ✔️ You don’t need automated responses, but knowing some points you plan to showcase is a great idea. 3. SHOWCASE SKILLS: Emphasize relevant experiences and measurable results - numbers and metrics always make stories more compelling. ✔️ Mention past instances in which you’ve excelled! 4. LISTEN: Pay attention, take time to gather your thoughts, and feel free to ask for clarification before answering questions. ✔️ No one is going to judge you for slowing down, and asking the interviewer to repeat the question - we all know interviews are hyper-stress situations 😁 5. BE EXCITED: Show some genuine passion for the role and company. ✔️ No need to appear fake, but let the company know what genuinely interests you about them! 6. CULTURE FIT: Highlight alignment with the company values and work environment. ✔️ If the company is committed to reducing carbon emissions, let them know that this aligns with your beliefs! 7. FOLLOW-UP: Send a thank-you email, expressing interest in the company and the role. ✔️ Send an email explaining what you enjoyed about the experience, and that you’re excited to see where it goes! Go and smash your next interview! ✨🚀 #InterviewTips #CareerSuccess #AESGlobal

When you're asked in an interview, "What's your biggest strength?" Here's a guide on how to answer effectively: The query, "Can you share your strengths?" may appear simple, but it necessitates a well-considered response that aligns with the job role and highlights your abilities appropriately. Here's how to tackle this question: ✅ Recognize the intent: Before discussing your strengths, grasp the reasons why this question is posed: ▪️ To gauge your self-perception. ▪️ To determine if your strengths are apt for the job. ✅ Pick relevant strengths: Rather than mentioning generic strengths like "cooperative" or "diligent," customize your answer to the particular job specifications. Here's the strategy: 1. Examine the job description: Review the job listing thoroughly to identify the fundamental skills and characteristics the employer seeks. 2. Choose matching strengths: Opt for strengths that correspond with the job's requirements. For instance, if the job stresses on leadership and problem-solving, you might want to choose strengths such as "leadership abilities," "analytical mindset," or "capacity to make decisions." ✅ Illustrate with examples: Once you've pinpointed your strengths, substantiate them with specific instances. ✅ Be succinct: Avoid extending your answer excessively. Strive for a brief and powerful reply that seizes the interviewer's interest. ➡️ Example:- Let's say you're interviewing for a project management position, and one of your primary strengths is effective communication. You could respond like this: "My prime strength is effective communication. In my former role as a project manager at [previous company], I persistently exhibited this strength by establishing open and clear lines of communication with my team, superiors, and clients. I believe that lucid communication is the pillar of successful project management, which aids us in adhering to project timelines and surpassing client expectations." #interviewtips #interviewquestions #interviewprep #linkedinforcreators

I am mentoring people preparing for interview, are you preping too? Have you been provided with a Competency and Values Framework? If you have, here are some steps you can take to prepare: 👍 Review the Competency and Values Framework: Familiarise yourself with the CVF for the specific role you're applying for. You should be told-yay! ✏️Reflect on Your Achievements: Take time to reflect on your past achievements and experiences, and consider how they align with the competencies and values outlined in the CVF. Often your examples can fit multiple CVF categories when viewed with a different lens. Eg a technical project can demonstrate technical skills, stakeholder management and team leadership skills. 🏆Quantify Your Achievements: Whenever possible, quantify your achievements to provide concrete evidence of your contributions. Numbers!! 🚗 Structure Your Response: Practice structuring your responses using the STAR technique (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to ensure clarity and coherence in your answers. 💪Identify Flexible Achievements: Where achievements can be used for multiple competencies prep a STAR example for each. You never know what question you could get- you need options. ❓Anticipate Follow-Up Questions: Anticipate potential follow-up questions based on your examples and prepare thoughtful responses in advance. 🏓Practice Your Delivery: Practice delivering your examples aloud to ensure clarity, conciseness, and confidence. Pay attention to your tone, body language, and pace to effectively engage the interviewer and convey your message persuasively. Preparation is key, and give it a shot! #jobinterviews #personaldevelopment #hiring
