Better Interviews via Strategic Comms
By Jeff Altman, The Big Game Hunter
To enhance interview performance, strategic communication techniques include several key approaches:
- In-depth research goes beyond a company’s website by setting Google alerts, following blogs, and reviewing earnings reports.
- Strategic timing involves scheduling interviews mid-morning on Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday to capitalize on peak focus and avoid Mondays and Fridays when energy is lower.
- Storytelling is more impactful than reciting a resume by explaining your motivation and using the STAR method to create succinct, relatable narratives.
- Visible thinking is achieved by verbalizing your problem-solving process to demonstrate how you approach challenges.
- Ending with a strong question, like asking what else you can answer to confirm you are a good fit, allows you to address any concerns directly.
These techniques emphasize the importance of not just qualifications but also how you connect, communicate, and demonstrate your value during an interview.
