How to Nail Your Job Interview and Stand Out From the Crowd

Finally booked an interview?

Fan-flipping-tastic! 🎉

But let’s be real—this is a big deal. You’ve applied for a LOT of jobs, and interviews might have been few and far between. The pressure is on, but don’t worry—I’ve got you covered.

Here’s how to make the most of this opportunity and give yourself the best chance of success.

1. Review Your Last Feedback

💪 Learn from your past interviews.

If you’ve had previous interviews, take a moment to reflect on any feedback you’ve received. Were there areas you could improve? Use this feedback to fine-tune your approach and avoid making the same mistakes.

2. Prepare for “Tell Me About Yourself”

👏 This question can make or break your interview.

Don’t treat it as a simple recollection of your career history. Instead, craft a compelling answer that highlights your skills, achievements, and what makes you unique. This is your chance to set yourself apart from other candidates.

3. Master Your STAR Stories

☕ Don’t just prepare for one or two questions—prepare for scenarios.

The STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) is a powerful framework for answering behavioral interview questions. Instead of memorising answers to specific questions, focus on the full scenario. This way, you’ll be ready to adapt your answers to any question that comes your way.

4. Turn It Into a Conversation

🔥 Engage with your interviewers. An interview isn’t just about answering questions—it’s about building rapport. Make your interviewers feel comfortable and valued. Show genuine interest in the company and the role, and don’t be afraid to ask thoughtful questions.

What If You’ve Had Multiple Rejections?

If this is your fourth or fifth interview without success, it might be time to get some help. Repeated rejections can be disheartening, but they’re also an opportunity to identify what’s not working and make adjustments.
