Why Prepare for that Role beyond the Interview

 




Don't just Prepare for the Job Interview. 

Prepare for that Role beyond the Interview instead. 


(This post is an extended post from my post last week.) 


During Job Interview coaching, 

I work with corporate professionals 

to help them crack their Job Interviews. 

Internal promotions or a job in a new company

Always Focus on the ROLE and not just on interview 


The interview is an assessment of your capability 

to play the role in question that you are interviewed for. 

The past is used as a barometer to assess future performance

BUT, always remember : they are interested in future & not in past.

They are listening to you telling about your past with complete attention 

only to translate it in their head to the future role that they have in mind. 

Your past achievements mean nothing if they have no relevance to the role 


FOCUS on the ROLE and not on YOURSELF. 

Focus on Yourself only in context of the ROLE. 

Bring the Role at the center of the conversation. 

Before the interview, find out everything about the role. 

Assess yourself - assess your suitability for playing the role.

Find the qualities, skillset, attitude and knowledge for the role. 

Find your strengths in context and also areas you need to improve. 


During the Interview conversation, 

You wont have to think of right answers. 

In your head, when You are playing 'The Role' 

the right responses will come naturally to you. 

Don't Be Yourself. Be the Person fit for the Role.

Mumbai Local - First Class v/s Second Class

    It is an old joke that the difference in the first class and second class of the Mumbai local trains is that people in first class use deodorants and hence you are exempted from the smelly underarms while travelling. The mute point being; both class of travel experience a passenger overload during the peak hours and you are almost equally squeezed and pushed around in both. Of course, the seats in First Class are cushioned (unlike the hard seats of second class) but then that would make a difference only if you get to sit (which would be a likely probability only if you get into the train from the station it originates). My father holds a first class pass from Churchgate to Andheri (since past 7 years, ever since we moved to Andheri). He often travels by Second class in the evening. Strange, isn't it? This is why he does it … In the First class, there is an unwritten rule that on the seat, only the designated number of people (which is 3) will sit. No sq...

Tongue Twister - V for Vendetta

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V." - V for Vendetta
