Mastering the Art of Acing Interviews: Proven Strategies for Landing Your Dream Job!

You and I have both been there, staring at our phone at another email starting with “Unfortunately…”

I’ve applied to over 300+ jobs in the last year and I will provide you with my top secret tips that allowed me to pass interviews at: Meta, Cambridge and even Buckingham Palace!

Tip 1: Warm up your interviewing skills

Like any warm up set, getting some reps in can save you from injury and tears later down the line. Try applying for smaller positions, or jobs that might not even be related to your job. This way when you face the interview you are actually concerned about, your nerves would’ve faded away.

Stress and anxiety quite literally cuts off our ability to use our pre-frontal cortex which is the part of our brain that allows us to think. So learning how to manage your stress through experiencing a number of interviews before hand will make a world of a difference and boost your confidence. You’ll start thinking to yourself “ I’ve seen this question before, this interview is a piece of cake!”.

Tip 2: Record yourself and ask for feedback

If you have friends, take turns to do mock interviews, allocate time or ask your university/library for a spare meeting room and practice as if it were the real thing. White board out your solutions and ask for feedback from your friends.

If your on your own, preparing for hirevues and online interviews, record yourself and write down something you could have done better and re-record yourself again. After your happy with your response, reach out to a recruiter or a 3rd party and ask them to evaluate your answers. You don’t want to be in an echo chamber with your thoughts, you want a fresh perspective on your responses to really uncover your flaws.

Tip 3: Learn when to pause

When your preparing for interviews online or in person, I would recommend having a drink with you. You want to make yourself feel comfortable, when answering questions.

The next tip ties very closely to the the tip above and it is a total game changer if used correctly, so make sure to learn how to use it properlly!

When the interviewer asks you a difficult question a common mistake is rushing into the answer straight away, if you unsure of the answer take a long sip of your drink and tell your interviewer “ That’s a interesting question, could you give me a moment to think about that”, this allows you a moment to calm your nerves and articulate a response.

Do NOT be afraid to pause, your pauses will make you seem articulate and thoughtful whereas if you had jumped straight in it, your nerves are most likely sky high, leading you to stumble over your words with “ums” and “ahs” and after your interview you’ll be thinking “man I wish I could have said that differently”. Save your self the trouble, pause and reflect.

Tip 4: Do you research

If you have some information about the interviewer or interview, its time to do your research. Try look up the interviewer on LinkedIn and maybe read some of their works or publications. You want to ask them very thought provoking questions regarding their field of expertise, this is a chance to impress your interviewer and allow you to stand out from the crowd. If they share some information about themselves, acknowledge their achievements and express genuine curiosity in their work by asking them a question about themselves, a lot of interviews can quickly evolve into lovely coffee chat.

Tip 5: Show genuine curiosity

Ask clarifying questions and have backup questions prepared, this will allow you to show genuine interest and demonstrate to the recruiter your thought process. Some interviewers don’t mind if you don’t get to the correct solution if your able to demonstrate amazing critical thinking and respond to the feedback the provide.

I remember in my very first interview the Interviewer asking me “is there anything you think you we can improve with our solution” I replied quite confidently “No, I’m sure its fine” and you can probably guess the outcome of that interview haha.

If the interviewer has thrown you a life line in the form of a rhetorical question, there’s a good chance your going down the wrong path, so take a step back, zoom out and figure out the problem. Maybe ask the interviewer for a hint and locate the fault in your solution, this will allow you to show you are receptive to feedback.

Conclusion

I hope you learned something new from my neat little tips and good luck interviewing!
