Talking about Yourself

-
7Session 2: Winning the Job Interview
In Session 2, we will give you simple but proven techniques to win the job interview. Including one powerful tool that will significantly improve your chances of landing the job: what we call the "Big Three Y's."
-
8Session 2: Drill
Let's get to work.

Effective Communication
-
9Session 3: You and the Job
In this Session, we will customize your strengths and experiences to fit the role you are applying for, so the interviewer believes your profile is tailor-made for the job.
-
10Session 4: You and the Company
In the previous session, we addressed the first relation of the Big Three Y's: you and the role. In this session, we move to the second relation of the Big Three Y's: you and the company.
Now that you have related yourself and your past experiences to the job, we need to do the same with the company you are applying for. This session aims to answer the "Why us" part of the interview. Because even if you are motivated to do the job, you need to show that you are motivated to do the job with them in particular.
We will start by identifying the characteristics of the company: what makes the organization you are applying for different from others? Then, we will connect these characteristics to yourself: why do they matter to you? This will represent your motivation for the company. Ultimately, you are showing the interviewer that you are a perfect fit with the company because you are aligned with them: you identify with their company's culture, mission, and values.

15Session 6: Verbal Communication
To excel at interviews, the substance and the form must come together. Succeeding both on the matter and the style is the ultimate step in mastering the job interview.
It's the guarantee of having the interviewer impressed by you.
And that's because effective communication is a precious skill to the employer. It shows that you can present your work and ideas to your colleagues, and also face the client. So the interviewer will most likely assess you on this dimension.
So, we will help you improve your verbal and non-verbal communication skills to keep the interviewer engaged, and leave a lasting impression on your future employer.
First, we start with your verbal communication skills. The verbal components of your communication are the basis of a clear and impactful speech. We will share neuro-linguistic programming techniques developed alongside NLP professionals.
-
16Session 7: Nonverbal Communication
In this Session, we will improve your non-verbal communication. Non-verbal communication is just as important as verbal communication!
To demonstrate how motivated you are, words are not enough: your body language is crucial.
We will give you actionable advice to leverage the non-verbal components of your communication. Your body language.

So if you follow the guidelines in this session, you will become extremely good at answering his questions.
This session is a long one, but it's a crucial one to succeed in your interviews. In fact, the whole interview is based on the interviewer's questions. So by mastering them, you are taking a giant step towards winning the job interview.

21Session 10: Common Interview Questions
What if I tell you that you can be ready for almost any interview questions just by preparing for five of them?
In this session, we provide you with a list of the most important and common interview questions.
And to make your life easier, we have grouped them into five main questions. In fact, most questions you can expect at an interview are just a variation of those five primary questions. So, by focusing on them, you are covering almost every question you can expect at your interview.
This will literally save you hours of work, and make sure you are prepared to face all kinds of questions.
So, practice on these five main questions by using the cheat sheet we gave you in the previous session.
We will also give you examples of how to answer them.
Let me explain to you why you can answer the vast majority of interview questions just by preparing for five of them.
Most of the time, employers ask and recycle the same questions in their interviews. And that's because they tend to look for the same dimensions within a candidate. For example, teamwork is one of those main dimensions. And if you can answer the question, "How well do you work in a team?", you will also be able to answer the following questions:
"Do you like working with others?"
"Are you a good team player?"
"Tell me about a time you succeeded with your team?"
"Will you fit in our team?"
"Tell me of a time you disagreed with someone from your team."
Etcetera.
You can answer all these questions with just one experience in which you demonstrated interpersonal qualities. Then, you only need to tweak your story a little to adapt it to the question.
And that's good news for you! Because you can anticipate the most essential and common interview questions just by preparing for five of them! That's why we grouped them into five main categories. Each category is a dimension on which the interviewer will likely test you.
You will find these primary questions in virtually any interview, but with different wording.
These five primary dimensions are:
Can you do the job?
Can you work in a team?
Are you motivated?
Can you overcome challenges?
Do you have an entrepreneurial mindset?
You can expect most interview questions to revolve around these five dimensions. So, for each of them, prepare an answer with an example from your past experiences.
You can use the same experience as an example for different dimensions. Still, the narrative and what you want to highlight must be adapted to the particular dimension you are addressing. Your story should demonstrate that you have this dimension in you.

22Extra Session: Less Common Interview Questions
In this bonus session, we will give you a list of less common questions and show you how to answer them!
In the previous session, we went through the most crucial and frequent interview questions, which we have grouped into five main dimensions.
But some interview questions don't fit into any of those dimensions. They are more random, which makes them more challenging to answer.
The good news is this session will prepare you for them. You will know what to expect and how to answer them. So, this session completes the previous one, giving you the keys to answering even the least frequent and most challenging questions. And you are putting all the odds on your side!
Before going through the list, here is some advice regarding this kind of question:
First, try to avoid them as much as possible and keep talking about what you know and have prepared for the interview, which is yourself, the job, and the company. The best way to do it is to tease the interviewer with something you said about one of these elements. So remember to end your answers with an opening on one of the Big Three Y's. This way, the interviewer asks you about it, and you stay on familiar ground.
If you are asked a random or difficult question that is neither about yourself, the job, or the company, then answer the question, and still, try to bring it back to yourself, the job, and the company. Remember that you are not scoring points if you are not addressing these elements, so you need to try and find connections.
Finally, if you are asked personal questions, you can politely decline them. In fact, most personal questions are illegal in countries such as the US, the UK, or France. So if you are asked about religion, race, or family and don't feel comfortable answering the question, you can gently decline it by saying, "This is personal to me, and I would prefer talking about something else".
You have little chance to face such a question, but remember you have the right to decline it if it happens. Women may witness personal questions more often, especially around family life and children, but still, you can politely decline them.
