HOW TO GET THROUGH THE INTERVIEW

HOW TO GET THROUGH THE INTERVIEW

The interview is a place to judge. It is a seat of destiny and a chair of hope. You always need to be your best in the dock because your life may be determined in a sentence. However, you want to come out with all your feathers on, because that is not the last one you will ever sit.

The power of presentation cannot be overrated. Long before the interview, go to the mirror and ask yourself if you would like to meet the person you see. At the interview exchange seats with the judge and see things from their point of view. Prepare your case as you would expect your lawyer to represent you. Listen for the sentence before you leave the dock and plead business sense if you sense the ruling may be against you. However, always thank the interviewer because there is always a chance you will be called back. And remember it's not about you; it's about them.
