Summary: How many times have you been interviewed for a job, but did not receive a job offer? If your answer is “zero” then this episode is not for you.<br> If the answer is “one (or more)” then this episode is for you!<br> I’ve had many jobs. I’ve had many more interviews than I’ve had jobs. Sometimes I was successful. Others…not so much. So what makes me an expert? I’m not. But I have some ideas. When you listen to the show, you will hear all the details, but I will give you the abbreviated version right here.<br> <br> * Make sure you are the right person for the job. But more than that, make sure you are the right person for the company, organization or unit. Personalities matter!<br> * The little things in an interview (showing up on time, dressing appropriately, good handshake and eye contact) are actually not little at all.<br> * Cover letters and resumes will get you an interview–or immediately eliminate you from contention for the position.<br> * Passion! Bring passion to the interview!<br> <br> A question for you?<br> What was your biggest mistake at an interview?
