Going to an interview is all about making a sale. In a job interview you are the salesman or woman and you are trying your best to self yourself as a solution to the hiring manager’s problem.
The hiring party has a problem – work to be done and they need someone to efficiently execute the job. The first step the employer takes is to define what qualifications they wish to have in an employee, sort of like a wish list of the perfect candidate. Once they have figured out what traits the ideal candidate will have, the job goes up as a posting on recruitment websites or social platforms such as LinkedIn.
In a normal job market, the employer will settle for a match of 80 percent of the requirements he put down. When the job market is tight the hiring manager has such a vast selection of candidates to choose from that the percentage rises to 100 percent. In these kinds of interviews expect to get the question – what else do you have to offer in addition to the basic requirements we have asked for? In other words the employee is giving you the chance of distinguishing yourself from the crowd. Seize this opportunity to impress and to let the hiring manager understand your passion and interest in the advertised position. Tell them of your past accomplishments and share with them your future goals that you wish to achieve under the auspices of their company.
