Avoid using too much jargon<\/h3>\n<p>If we try too hard to sound smart and professional, we end up sounding like idiots: \u201cYes, the occupation filled me with immense joy as I interacted with my supervisor on a day-to-day basis to execute the financial\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>HUH?<\/p>\n<p>A better strategy is to first translate what we\u2019re trying to say into plain English. Then, if our response is compelling, we can polish the exact language to make the answer interview-worthy.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine the interviewer asks \u201cWhy do you want this job?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before blurting out something about how you really \u201clove their corporate values\u201d or how you\u2019re \u201cso passionate\u201d about the job, come up with something more realistic.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some real reasons you might want to work at Company X:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The company does great work<\/li>\n<li>There are a lot of smart people here<\/li>\n<li>I think I can do a good job<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So here\u2019s what your answer might look like in plain English:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want to work here because the company does great work in the local tech community and I&#8217;d love to be a part of a growing industry.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Tip on how to use this in your interview: With the questions you deconstructed earlier, come up with your plain English responses to them. Be sure to also address the question\u00a0<em>behind<\/em>\u00a0the question.<\/p>\n<p>Take some time to write these down. But don&#8217;t worry about sentence structure, finding the perfect words, or sounding smart. Just keep it simple and natural.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>An answer in plain English is already better than most. Why? Because interviewers aren&#8217;t looking for a robot who can give a perfect, rehearsed answer. They want something genuine, an insight\u00a0into your personality. They want to see how you explain complex issues and your approach to communication.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, these are people you may have to work with every day. They want someone they can get along with, someone who is professional but also has a personality. The plain English answer shows that you\u2019re not simply reading from a script or memorizing what the internet told you was a great answer. You\u2019re explaining things in a simple way that people understand.<\/p>\n<p>Another thing to think about is using jargon. Before jumping into a jargon-filled monologue about why you&#8217;d be the perfect hire, take a step back. The interviewer may or may not know what you&#8217;re talking about.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If it&#8217;s the first round of interviews, you may not be interviewed by someone from the department you&#8217;re applying for. It may be someone in recruitment or HR. If you start mentioning technical language they&#8217;re not familiar with, it could go over their heads.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A good rule of thumb is to listen to how the interviewer speaks. You can usually get a good idea of whether someone&#8217;s on the same page by their job title, the questions they ask, and whether they use jargon themselves.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For example, say you&#8217;re applying for a digital marketing role. If they mention things like AdWords, SEO, and bounce rate, you&#8217;re safe to use that same type of jargon.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-4-master-your-body-language\">4. Master your body language<\/h3>\n<p>Your mouth may be moving and saying all the right things, but is your body saying something different?<\/p>\n<p>Interviews are nerve-wracking experiences for most of us, and that can cause us to tense up. With hunched shoulders, crossed arms, and eyes on the floor, your body language can use some serious work.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>There are tons of resources, studies, and books out there to help you master your body language, but here are some quick tips.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"h-show-your-palms\">Show your palms<\/h4>\n<p>According to the authors of &#8220;Crazy Good Interviewing,&#8221; John B. Molidor, Ph.D., and Barbara Parus, showing your palms is a simple way to show sincerity. This gesture signals to the interviewer that you are honest and open.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"h-press-your-fingertips-to-each-other\">Press your fingertips to each other<\/h4>\n<p>This gesture makes your hands look like a church roof. It\u2019s considered a way to show confidence and you may recognize it from speeches that politicians, CEOs, or lecturers give.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also a good way to steady your hands if you\u2019re nervous.<\/p>\n<h4 id=\"h-don-t-conceal-your-hands\">Don\u2019t conceal your hands<\/h4>\n<p>One thing to avoid is to conceal your hands. Putting your hands in your lap, beneath the table may feel most comfortable for you. But body language experts suggest that this unconsciously signals that you have something to hide. More likely, it\u2019s just because you\u2019re just nervous but we don\u2019t want a hint of doubt in the interviewer\u2019s mind.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The same goes for if you place your hands downwards. Instead, keep your palms facing up to show you\u2019re open and honest.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mastering body language won\u2019t happen overnight, but with consistent practice, you&#8217;ll start to see real improvements.

They want someone who is enthusiastic and full of energy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Being monotone can, at best, mean you don\u2019t stand out, or at worst, put the interviewer off the idea of hiring you at all. Passion and enthusiasm help you stand out.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>If you know your voice is a bit monotonous or nervous during interviews, spend some time practicing speaking.\u00a0Stand in front of a mirror and practice answering questions. Maybe even record yourself doing it and play it back.

Dress slightly better than the job you want<\/h3>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t matter where you\u2019re interviewing, play it safe and dress slightly better than the job you want.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lots of companies now have casually dressed employees. T-shirts and jeans are the new suit and tie in some places.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But does that mean you should whip out the old Levi\u2019s for your interview? Probably not.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Figuring out the dress code can be a bit tricky. You may have to do some investigating or just straight up ask.\u00a0Once you know the dress code, aim to dress slightly smarter than that.<\/p>\n<p>You\u2019re aiming to impress, not just with your words but also with a non-verbal first impression. Interviewers can already tell a lot about you as soon as you step through the door, so make that first impression a good one.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4256456 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4256456\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-xl\">The world wants you to be vanilla...<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ea08b50 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"ea08b50\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u2026but you don\u2019t have to take the same path as everyone else.

Show don\u2019t tell is the number one rule in any kind of fiction writing. And you can apply that to interview questions as well.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of telling the interviewer what you did, try to\u00a0<em>show\u00a0<\/em>it instead. Illustrate a more detailed picture of the situation, the challenge, the steps you took, and then the result.\u00a0This works with any type of question the interviewer asks, including the dreaded \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/iwillteachyoutoberich.com\/tell-me-about-yourself\/\">tell me about yourself<\/a>,\u201d question.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iwillteachyoutoberich.com\/how-to-tell-killer-stories\/\">A story, when told well<\/a>, is the easiest way to\u00a0deconstruct an answer\u00a0and elevate yourself in the eyes of the interviewer.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s what to say in an interview when you\u2019re asked, \u201cWhy do you want to work here?\u201d<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Start with a broad opening:<\/strong>\u00a0Set the stage with some high-level background to let the interviewer know what you\u2019re going to talk about before diving into the details. For example: \u201cI want to work at ACME Company for three key reasons. First, you\u2019re doing amazing, life-changing work in the field of X. Second, I\u2019m confident I can make a huge contribution, given my experience in Y. And third, you have some of the smartest people in the world working for you. That really excites me from an intellectual perspective.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Then, get really specific.<\/strong>\u00a0Now, transition into a short story with only the relevant details. For example: \u201cWorking with the smartest people is a big deal for me. You\u2019ll notice that I have a history of actively seeking out and working with the top people in my field, such as John Smith and Jane Doe, who really pushed me to accomplish Z.\u201d<\/li>\n<li><strong>Highlight the important takeaways.<\/strong>\u00a0Lastly, get broad again and highlight the key takeaways. For example: \u201cThe bottom line, I thrive in environments filled with smart, ambitious people, and that\u2019s why I\u2019d love to be a part of the ACME team.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Notice how different this is from what most people say in interviews. It\u2019s crisp and concise with no fluff and packed with details that are engaging and impressive.<\/p>\n<p>Filter your responses to common interview questions through this step-by-step system and you\u2019ll give the perfect answer every time.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h-8-don-t-trash-talk-your-current-workplace\">8.

It\u2019s not a good look.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Honesty is the best policy in job interviews, but when answering the question \u201cWhy are you looking for another job?\u201d it\u2019s safer to give a more filtered answer.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to spin it is to deflect and say something positive about the job you\u2019re interviewing for and (if you can) say something positive about your current\/previous role. You could phrase it like \u201cI learned a lot in my current role, but I\u2019m looking for a new challenge\/the next step\/a bigger team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is a much more professional response that also highlights why you want this role,\u00a0<em>not just that you\u2019re desperate to leave your current one.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-7c2cd27 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default qodef-elementor-content-no\" data-id=\"7c2cd27\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-8915728\" data-id=\"8915728\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9033b2e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"9033b2e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Best questions to ask in a job interview<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2d0ffd2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2d0ffd2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Asking thoughtful questions in a job interview not only shows your interest but also helps you gauge if the company is the right fit for you.
