Stop Preparing for Their Interview Questions and Start Focusing on Your Stories

One of the biggest mistakes job candidates make is preparing for the wrong thing.

They spend hours trying to predict which interview questions they'll be asked.

They search for lists of the most common questions.

They memorize answers.

They rehearse responses.

And then they walk into the interview hoping they guessed correctly.

There's just one problem, I mean, other than this giving me heartburn.

That's not how you score the best in interviews.

The strongest candidates aren't focused on the questions.

In fact, they don't give one hill of beans about them.

They're focused on something else entirely.

This something makes interviews less stressful.

Not to mention, but I will, your answers more compelling.

And let's not forget the ginormous point about how your value teleports itself from you to them at hyper-speed.

In today's lesson, I'm covering why most candidates approach interviews backward and what to focus on instead if you want actually get the job.
