Based on the 10 tips for the interview, you should think three steps: “Before we go”(tip 1,2,3), “During the interview”(tip 4,5,6,7,8,9), “The hereafter”(tip 10).
The importance of preparation and practice before the interview cannot be overemphasized. Amdur said, “Not thinking ahead is not thinking at all.” Practicing a few questions or wearing a blue suit or arriving on time is not a strategy but just a tactic or action. Researching beforehand such as the company that we want to work for, the industry that the company belongs to, the person who is going to interview and position that we apply to is absolutely a rite of passage for the successful interview.
He accentuated the three P’s rule. It was “Prepare, Prepare, Prepare!” It was impressive that he also mentioned taking a rest before the interview as a good strategy because it will make you more confident and relaxed.
As a key point of “During the interview”, he introduced STAR as a story telling strategy, which is an acronym of Situation, Task, Action, and Result. He underlined that interviewers are more likely to hear the accomplishment story based on STAR. He added the two-layer strategy of short answers by giving the abstract first and preparing the full text when asked. Interview is not an interrogation so that a brisk, two-way conversation will bring out a positive outcome for both an interviewer and interviewee. Amdur highlighted sending a thank you note the same day by using E-mail and a hard copy after the interview. He also emphasized that follow up and follow thorough such as writing samples, references, or other proof of performance should not be overlooked. Through self-evaluation process after coming out of the interview, we can build into our strategy ahead of time to determine appropriate follow up or adapt effectively for a next interview. His tips for the effective interviewing strategies can be applied in a variety of way so, you should be confident to put them into practice in your real situation
