Vijay (name changed for confidentiality) struggled to crack interviews despite being a competent professional and his resume displaying his candidature well. When we met, I analyzed his approach and discovered that his interview strategy was ‘me-oriented’ rather than ‘you-oriented’.
What Does ‘You-Oriented’ Mean?
A ‘me-oriented’ approach focuses on the job seeker’s perspective, while a ‘you-oriented’ approach considers the employer’s needs and vision. To shift his mindset, I asked Vijay questions like:
- What is the vision of the prospective employer?
- What are the major pain points of the prospective job role?
- How does your passion align with the company’s vision?
- How are you a solution provider to the company for the role?
Transforming Vijay’s Approach
I guided Vijay through exercises to document his success stories and align his skills with the job’s key requirements. We conducted mock sessions to customize his responses and connect with the interviewer. This structured approach which works like a well oiled machine proved to be a game-changer.
As a result, Vijay successfully cracked the interview and landed his desired job.
Why Is Cracking Interviews Tough?
It’s not just about the competition; many job seekers use outdated methods and lack a structured system to answer interview questions convincingly.
Here are the three key areas where interview preparation often falls short:
1] Limited Research: Understanding the job’s pain points requires more than just reviewing the company website and job description.
2] Lack of Systematic Skill Identification: Many rely on their judgment without a proven system to identify core skills.
3] No Structure for Customizing Answers: Without a structured approach, it’s challenging to tailor responses effectively.
