See things from their perspective.

June 26, 2019 / Mike McDonough /

Let’s be honest, the key to landing your dream job isn’t about you, it’s about how you fit and can help the hiring company. The people interviewing you are likely tasked with finding a person that will help the business deliver on key objectives. Put yourself in their position before coming in for your interview. What will they want to see from a candidate? What would set someone apart? If you can see how you’ll help the bottom line and achieve their goals, it will put you in a much better position to be the right fit.
