There are hundreds of books out there with advice on this topic. I’ve read a lot of them. One I read recently, “201 Questions to Ask on Your Interview” by John Kador, hit a home run with me.
What particularly grabbed me was his discussion of 5 key attributes that need to be in evidence when you interview.
I’m continually telling my clients to ensure that the examples they use to highlight their accomplishments are specific. Explicit numbers, results and outcomes. Generic words are meaningless and have no heft. For example, instead of using the word “significant,” use a number or percentage.
Beyond specific examples of past accomplishments are the behaviors that underlie these results. Now, to these 5 key attributes that should be at the foundation of your presentation.
You need to show the interviewer evidence of being: action-oriented, engaged with the long-term, zestful, curious and committed.
So, how do you do this?
Here are some tips:
Action-oriented. Not passive. What’s an example from a past job where you drove the meeting, committee or project when it was languishing? Or when a deadline loomed, and you came up with a way to reach the goal? When you saw a way through the impasse or were able to streamline the process to make it happen?
Engaged with the long-term. When was the last time you were the one to envision the broader consequences of an action? When was the last time your contribution provided a strategic view of a project or action that no one had thought of? For example, by your selecting specific software to use, the company would perhaps save $50,000 within 2 years.
Zestful. Keen enjoyment or interest. Is there excitement in your voice and body language when you speak about your past work experiences? I’m not talking about nervous energy. I’m talking about the sparkle in your eyes, the animation of your movements and the tone of your voice that genuinely demonstrates your involvement and enthusiasm. This is especially critical for older job seekers. Avoid complacency in your presentation.
Curious. I love this one. It’s great to be curious about the company you’re interviewing with by asking terrific questions. But first, it’s important to show how curiosity has served you well in a previous job. For example: when was the last time you knew there had to be a better way of performing a task, closing on a particular deal or making a sale to a recalcitrant client? How did your inquiring or questioning of the situation find a better solution that resulted in a success for you and your company? Did you do research? Talk to a colleague who had done this before? Wake up with an epiphany at 3 o’clock in the morning?
I’ve been a designer and advertising consultant for over 35 years. I’ve seen my share of business cards and I have a few words addressed to those companies that might benefit from my expertise. I’m not talking to those professionals that are categorized by attorneys, physicians, dentists, insurance agents and accountants. You’ve seen their cards that are traditional black raised print on a white uncoated cover stock paper. They probably also contain a tas

Space utilization is one of the most important decisions a business must make. Document storage and office clutter are the best examples of needs for expansion. Decisions regarding personnel, production, office equipment, inventory, records retention and accessibility impact a company’s profitability.

Committed. Dedicated or pledged to a cause. Not self-centered. When was the last time you sacrificed your own comfort, sleep or plans for the sake of a project? Okay, I’m not talking about saying you never had a life. But you need to show what commitment means to you. When was the last time you demonstrated your unswerving devotion to getting the job done?
So that’s it.
