“How good are you at preparing for and reaching for an interview? How do you think you appear to other people in an important interaction?

Answer 1

Part A)

I feel I am highly prepared and confident to prepare and reach for an interview. Here is where the trust comes from:

• I carefully analyse and understand the company vision, objectives and the products - It is important to understand the organisation and its purpose and align the personal objectives.
• I thoroughly go through the company social media pages, recent campaigns and even the website.
• Post company analysis I check the job description and understand the requirement of jobs from performance, skills and education level. It is important to focus on strength areas.
• It is important to understand the accomplishments and prepare examples in storytelling formats. This helps the organisation to understand me better and aspects related to solving problems, leading teams and managing challenges etc.
• It is important to check customer feedback and reviews as it helps to define the brand identity of the company. It helps to prepare better for an interview and also knowing the various competitions in the market helps to analyse what makes company product & services distinct.
• To ensure further preparedness it is important to check annual reports and financial health of the company.
• On a personal level, I also update my linked in and various other social media profiles in order to give authentic and best description of my choices and hobbies.
• Another aspect is that if the objectives, job description and other areas are matching then preparedness for salary expectation and negotiation should be done as well.

Visiting the office and checking the latest news and industry-related updates are important for any generic question being asked during the interview.

Because of this level of preparedness, I feel high prepared and confident.

Part B)

Here is how I feel other people perceive me during an important interaction:

• I demonstrate a high level of emotional stability and show consistency in my behavior.
• During such an important interaction, I carefully do a situation assessment and understand viewpoint of others. This empathy helps to predict and understand the overall dynamics of the conversation leading to better acceptability.
• People must also feel that I have the ability to forecast and look into the future. I have a good knowledge of the external trends and like making thoughtful and carefully assessed decision.
• Open-mindedness is another skill that I show to other people. I am never over critical about others and always willing to modify my decision based on other viewpoints.
• I am open to new ideas and bringing change management to the team.
• Social skills are other areas where people might feel that I am strong & using the storytelling formats makes others feel that I value the experiences and interactions in past.
• I am open about my strengths as well as weak areas.
• I demonstrate good communication skills, collaborative approach and people-first as value.

Developing workplace culture and demonstrating integrity are other values which can be assessed during any personal interaction with me.
