Your interview skills are only part of the equation to getting hired.

When You See Red Flags During Interviews

In today’s job market, being qualified is not enough. After all, there are a lot of qualified people who are looking for work. Competence is only one thing they look for. They look for self-confidence, character, chemistry, maybe a little bit of charisma, that you care, that you can connect with them because they want to trust you.

However, that’s about the interview. How do you get your foot in the door for the interview? And often that’s about your branding, how it is you position yourself vis-à-vis your competition to make yourself memorable. I use a term, “the big game hunter”. It helps me a lot, and I’m not suggesting you use a term, but there are things that you can be doing to make yourself memorable in the marketplace so that people get to know, like, trust and respect you before they ever have a chance to meet with you.

My first coaching client came as a referral to me from someone I have no idea who they are, but they figured out I could help their friend because they’d seen my content online and they got to trust me. So they refer the person to me, who I advised, and I helped them get a chief of staff role to a C-suite leader at a major American corporation.

You’ve got your version of a story about what makes you memorable. Think about it. Don’t just dismiss this. Actually, think about what’s memorable about you and how you distinguish yourself from others.
