There are certain words,

those magic words, they’ll
offer you the job.
These Words Allow You to
Communicate Important Concepts:
 I’m going to be a good hire
for you.

 I can solve your problems.
 You won’t regret this
decision.

 You’re going to love having
me on your team.
Don’t Just Tell the Hiring Manager
What They Want to Hear
 Package Yourself in an Attractive Way

 Find Out What the Hiring Manager Needs
 Be Strategically Conscious of Your Overall
Mission

 Know How to Answer Interview
Questions

Know the right thing to say to close the deal.
Do you pose a risk to his or her
own continued employment?
• They Are Judged on Who
They Hire
• The Hiring Manager’s Job Is
on the Line

Minimize the risk and show
that you’re a great bet.
4 Questions You Must Answer Well
1. Tell me about yourself.
2. Why should we hire you?
3. Why do you want to join this
company?
4. What’s your greatest weakness?

These questions are all excellent opportunities
to sell yourself for the job.
Tell me about yourself.
What the Hiring Manager really wants to know is…
“Tell me something that will
matter to me as I consider you
for this job.”

This is a golden opportunity for
you to set yourself apart from
the other candidates.
Put Yourself in That Hiring Manager’s Shoes
• What is the hiring manager
going to be the most
impressed by?
• What is going to get the
hiring manager’s attention?
Start with Your Education
Then Go Into Your Background
“I received a degree in X from Y University. From there, I took my
first role as an ABC in XYZ company. I progressed there in
receiving two X awards / promotions, and then was recruited by
XYZ’s competition for another role, where again, I achieved 2
more X and was recognized for X, which led me to you.”

This is the general language you
should use to tell your story.
Plan Your Answer in Advance
Tailor Your Answer Before You Give It

What parts of my story would
be on this hiring manager’s list
of reasons to hire me?

That’s what being strategic in
the interview is all about.
You don’t need to talk longer than a minute or so—
just deliver a very targeted message that says to
that hiring manager: “I am skilled, I have
accomplished some great things, and I can bring
that to work here for you.”
