Two people looking for compatibility. It is a data collecting process. Think of yourself as a resource person, not as someone looking for a job.
Focus on Goal, Obstacle, Solution, Numbers.Conduct your interview in the same manner
that you conduct your work.Use the interview as an opportunity to
employer’s fears. Put yourself in their shoes. Who would you hire or would not hire?
Interview Follow upThank your interviewer. Send a note no later
than the end of the day.Additional tasks or references? Deliver them
on time and in their entirety. Remember, conduct your interview in the same manner that you conduct your work. This is why the employer WANTS to hire you.
