Critical Success Factor – you must compensate
for a lack of experience with enthusiasm, a record of success
and a detailed understanding of the job.
Remember that it is not how many years you have been doing
something that counts, it is what you have done in
the years you have had.
Step Three – prepare a speech on how
you will perform in that role. It must be detailed and include
what you intend to do on a daily basis, how you would systemise
your work for maximum productivity and what you will do above
the call of duty to make yourself great at it.
This does two things. First it gives YOU the confidence you
need to get the employer to hire you. Secondly, it helps the
employer create an image of what you would be like in that
job.
Critical Success Factor – the employer will only
hire you when they are confident you can do the job better
than anyone else.
The purpose of every interview is to convince the employer
that you are capable of doing the work AND that you would
be great at it. Showing how much you already know about the
position and having a plan for working in it gives the employer
the required confidence in your abilities.
Step Four – you have created a CV
that sets a high expectation of you, now you must live up
to it in person.
Always dress to the highest standards for every interview,
regardless of how informal the situation.
Be sure to also take two printed copies of your CV with you.
Often the employer will be unprepared or have invited someone
else to the interview at short notice.
Use your soft skills learned in the Career by Design®
program to project a friendly, energetic and confident persona.
You must be able to put the interviewer at ease so you can
discuss how you will work in the position.
Critical Success Factor – it is no good setting
a high expectation if you do not live up it in person.
If you do all these things you will have the best
possible chance of getting a position even when you lack experience.
