Comment GUIDE for my Interview Blueprint 7-step guide to offers. #interviewtips #interviewtechnique

If you know you are someone who rambles in interviews, you go off track, you find yourself giving yourself an answer going, how the fuck did I even get here? Then you struggle to get yourself back on track. This is an exercise I want you to do when you're prepping for your next interview. If your answers are going to the 5 to 6 minute mark, you are definitely A, losing the interviewer, and B, they're not getting that key critical information that you want them to hear because it's getting lost in all the noise of the kind of fluff or the other stuff that we don't really need to be including. Some questions like the tell me about yourself or why this role, why this company, they're going to be around the 90 second mark. For the questions that are more your behavioral, your method, your approach type questions, they're going to be sitting around that 2 to 3 minute mark. And there's a really easy way to practice to make sure that you are sticking within that time limit. And you're not only sticking within the time limit, you are giving the structure of your answers the correct amount of time. Now, this depends on the type of format you're using. You're either a STAR girl or you're a CAR girl, whichever one suits you. Let's go with CAR for the time being. That's my favorite. So you've got your context, your action, your result. That's the framework that you're speaking to. Your context, you don't want that to be more than 30 seconds max. Then the action, where you talk about everything that you did, I would say no longer than 1 minute to 1 minute 15. Then you've got the result. Now, the result is obviously the outcome, the impact, what happened through all that work you did. And really, that needs to be no longer than 10 seconds because if you think about it, the result is the result. Like, it's like, and we achieved this thing. What happens is sometimes we feel that we need to keep like compensating and go like, oh, and this thing and this thing and this thing. It's like, just give them the result. Next time you're prepping for an interview, Get really strict with yourself and set that timer. Break it down. Go, okay, I'm gonna do the context and give myself 30 seconds. Boom, time it, done. Now go to the next one, then the next one, and then you create your bridges between those 3 sections so it all blends in. Okay, go do. Good luck.
