How
Can You Give A Presentation Without An Objective?
You’re right!
You can’t!
Many candidates
find that they are not asked about their most important assets. Planning your
presentation will help in obtaining an offer. A planned presentation will
assist you in knowing what you want to express to the interviewer. During the
interview you will be able to keep a mental checklist of the points as you
address them. When your presentation is planned, you will find that you will pack
a greater punch with your responses and cover more of the sizzle.
The first step in
planning for the interview is understanding your objective in the interview.
Your objective is quite simple: A. Get an offer or
B. Get another interview. That’s it! During the interview it is your
only time to convince the manager that you are the right person for the job.
Once an offer is made, then it is time to decide if the company and the job
are right for you, with your Executech personnel consultant.
Planning for the interview will make 100% difference in
the result! Take a few moments to anticipate what skill sets and experience
that the interviewer will be assessing you on. Then make a list of examples
that demonstrate your past successes in these areas. It will be your job to
express these examples during the interview, and you can count on the
interviewer to make his own assumption if you don’t. Plan a short list of
questions regarding the company, growth, product or service, new technologies
or advances, and future direction to demonstrate your interest in the
position and your planning skills.
