Hey everyone. Stefan here from ProjectLifeMastery.com and in this video
I'm going to share with you some job interview tips that will help you nail
that next job interview that you're after. Over this last week I've been
interviewing a lot of candidates for a brand new job that I have, a new position
a ton of applications, a ton of resumes, I've been interviewing a lot of people in
person, some virtually. There's so much that I've learned, guys, that I can
share with you to help you get that next job that you're after. I've now
interviewed hundreds of people over the years for my business, some people
virtually, some people in person, that there's certain things that I noticed
amongst the people that really stand out and are the top candidates for a job or
a position that I actually consider them for, versus the mass amount of people that
apply for jobs or show up for interviews,
there's just no chance they're going to get the job. There's just so many little
things that are easily correctable that I'm going to share with you guys in this video
that if you guys can master it and really improve it, it's going to make a huge
difference in helping you get that that next job that you're after. I'm going to
share a lot of that with you guys in this video to help you guys improve your
game if you're after a job or a certain position.
Number one, you have to make sure that you have a strong online
presence about yourself.
We live in a world of the Internet. Any job that you apply for you got to
understand that the employer, the company, they're going to do their research and
due diligence to make sure that you're the right fit for their company.
What they're going to do, what every employer that I know of does, every
business owner that I know of that are friends of mine, they always look up the
person online.
They're going to look at your Facebook profile. They're going to look up
any social media presence that you have, whatsoever.
They're going to look up your LinkedIn if you have one, which you should. They're going to
look at your LinkedIn account. They're going to basically do research on you
online to see what kind of person you really are. They're not going to
just listen to what you say on your resume and trust that or trust
what you say to them in an interview. They want to see
how you actually behave. They actually want to see your patterns and how you
communicate, and your behavior online. What's really important is making sure
that your social media presence looks actually good. That you're not
putting stuff out there that a potential employer's going to see, and it could be
something that you might've posted five years ago. There's still a history of
that online. You want to make sure everything is professional. It doesn't
all have to be super professional, but you're still on your best
behavior. For example, if someone applies for my position, I'm going to look
them up online. I'm going to look to see if they have Facebook, LinkedIn. You're going
to essentially stalk them online. This is what every entrepreneur does. They're
going to look to see, "Okay, how does this person behave? How do they live their
life? What do they value? What are their passions? What are their interests?
What's their mindset? What's their psychology?" You can learn so much about
about people just by seeing how they behave online. If I
noticed someone is very immature, someone that is very negative, somebody that I
can see their history of things, that's probably a person that I'm
not going to want to hire for my job. You've got to be really
careful about what you post online, because you have to understand that that
can haunt you
many years down the road, for that dream job, that dream position that you might
be after. You don't want to be a hater online. You know, there's some people
that are haters. Who's going to hire that person? That person's
always going to be stuck at Mcdonalds or just a really low-end, low-quality job,
because they're not going to get hired if that's how they're
behaving online. Making sure you're behavior's good, you have a good online
presence, even that goes to having great photos of
yourself, and just being conscious of what you're posting. The other tip that I
have is make sure that you have a LinkedIn profile set up. LinkedIn is key.
LinkedIn is like the online resume. It's basically where I can go and I can
see the person's work history. I can see connections that they
have. I can see their previous jobs that they might have worked with. I can see
testimonials of what other people are saying about them, as well. The top
candidates that I look at, they always have a really good, professional LinkedIn
account that they send me. They have it linked on their resume, as well. I'm
able to see so much about them and I'm really impressed by that.
Having that set up this key. Everybody should have LinkedIn set up, even if
you're a business owner. A lot of people actually recruit people from
LinkedIn, as well, so if you have a really good
LinkedIn profile, you might actually get different job opportunities presented to
you. Because I know I have a lot of entrepreneurs, they approach people on
LinkedIn to hire them for different positions. Have the LinkedIn set up, try
to get endorsements and recommendations from people as well, because that will also be
very useful, very beneficial.
The other tip that I have is you've got to make sure that your resume is awesome.
Your resume will say a lot about yourself, as goes with your social media
and your LinkedIn. The resume has to be professional. It can't have any
mistakes, errors, and you also want to make sure the formatting is really good
as well. Whenever people send me resumes, I can learn so much about them.
There are certain people, they send a resume and I'll tell you guys, it's
freaking beautiful. It's like a work of art. They have a beautiful
template, different colors on it, and it just looks really, really professional, and really
high-end. Then, there's some people, they send me a resume, and it's just like a
blank Word document with some bullet points, and it's just really
low quality. There's a huge difference between those two people,
because I can see who puts more attention to detail, who actually
takes looking for a job more seriously, who's going to put in the extra effort.
All this little things, they say something about yourself. Make sure
that when you have a resume, it's really professional. You can find a
lot of templates that can be really good online, I'm sure. Just really
improve your resume so that it's just really, really tight, and really amazing,
and you always have it ready, available for different opportunities, so you can
just send it off. Your resume should really impress the
person. What I'm saying it's not as much about what's on the
resume, but just the design and the look, the feel of it, that will say a lot about
you as well as was actually on the resume,
very important. Another tip that I have is whatever job that you're
applying for, make sure that you do as much research on the company, before the
actual interview.
The more that you've prepared for that interview, the better that you're going to do
with it.
You don't just want to show up for an interview not knowing anything about the
business, not knowing anything about the business's vision, culture, values,
products, industry or any of that sort of stuff, because then when you're on the
interview they're going to ask you questions. You're not going to be able
to actually relate the questions to the needs of the business or give the
answers that the interviewer actually wants to hear from you.
There's certain people that I've interviewed for this position that I
have, that just have no clue about what I'm doing and what my business is, and so
it's just really hard to interview them because I'm not that
impressed by that, because they just don't know what's going on. I've had
some people that come in, they know right away, they love my vision, my mission,
they watched my videos. They looked at my business, my products.
They have a good general idea of that. They know how they can benefit my
business, how they can fit in. They know what I'm using, and what I'm doing
and whatnot. They've done their due diligence and that really shows through on
the interview. Make sure that you prepare every interview. You've got to
understand, that's a great, golden opportunity for you. You just don't want to do
interviews blindly. You want to go in with the plan. You want to go in educating
yourself about the job and the position, and show up prepared for that.
Another key tip that I have ... I'll give you guys a few more. Another key one is,
you've got to make sure that you are communicating, to the person that's
interviewing you, the benefit and the value that you can provide to that
business. Very important, because that's the only thing that the company cares
about. That's the only reason why they're hiring you, is they want to hire someone
that's going to add a mass amount of value to their business.
I've done so many interviews where I'm listening to people and they just keep
talking about themselves. I asked them, "Why did you apply for
this? Why do you want this job?"
"Oh, you know it's a great opportunity for me. It's going to help me develop. It's
going to be fun for me."
It's all about them. It's like, "Okay, I don't care about you
as much. I'm hiring you and I'm offering you an interview to fill this
position
to be a part of my team, so that you can help me.
That's what I really want." That's what a person wants when they're trying to hire
someone. They don't want them to sell them and tell them all the reasons why
they are great. You want to communicate how you're going to
help that business.
What's the value that you're going to provide? If you've done your research
and you've prepared for it, you should be able to go in and say, "Great, I can help you
guys with this in your business. I can help you manage your team. I'm a great people
person, in that I can help improve the culture." What are the benefits? "I can
help this business make more money. I'm a great salesperson and I can
help increase the amount of money that you're going to make. I'm
going to help make your life easier.
I'm going to help free up your time to focus on what's important for
you. I'm going to help do this, this, this, this," all the things, all the value that you're
going to provide to the business. Okay, very important. That's primarily what
the company's want when they're interviewing someone.
That's a really important thing that I've noticed. The people that really
stand out, really are focused on adding value to me, not just taking from
me and trying to suck for me.
Another thing that I've noticed as well, this may be a little bit unique to
my position. There's a lot of people that want to work for me, but they want to work fo
me because they want to use it as an opportunity for them to improve
themselves, to learn from me, to develop themselves, so that they can
after a year, two years, three years, basically take all the things they have
learned, and then basically go and start their own business, or do their own
thing, or compete with me, or whatever else. That's something that no
business is going to hire for. No business is going to hire someone
with that short-term in mind. You've got to understand
the biggest cost to a business is the cost of replacing someone and training
someone to replace a position. The high turnover in business, that's the biggest
expense of any business. Businesses, they want people that are going to
be loyal to them. They want people that are going to work in the position and
they're going to work long-term, because it costs a lot of money to train someone, to
develop them, to have them make mistakes in your business,
to help finally be proficient in doing the job. I was reading one book
and talked about how it takes about a year of someone working in a business for
them to be at their peak level of efficiency and productivity and value
that they're going to add to a business. If it takes a year of training and
developing someone to be in that optimal position, that's very expensive to do. You
need to hire someone for more than a year. You need to hire
someone for the long term. Understanding that, understanding the
business owner, the position that they are in, and making sure that you're actually
adding value to the position, I think that's one of the most important
things. Also, understanding that people hire based on your nature as well.
You want to make sure that you understand what your strengths are and what
your nature is. Is your nature more as an entrepreneur and just someone has a
desire to start their own thing, your job is just a temporary situation for you?
Are you more of a manager or a leader?
Are you more of someone that is very skilled at a certain area and
whatever that is?
Understanding that is key, because that's also going to help you pick the
right jobs for you as well, that you're going to be able to excel in long-term.
If you're just going after a job, but it's not going to be a long-term fit,
it's not going to be aligned with your nature, then you're going to have a lot of
conflicts with that as well.
Making sure you're picking the right jobs that you can actually
be the right fit for a long-term and add the most value to, is also
equally important, because when you show up for those job interviews, you're going
to nail it naturally, because you're going to be the exact person that that person
is looking for. Every job, every business, every interviewer, they're
looking for the right person. If you specifically go after the right
jobs that you can add the most value to, and you've mastered your skills, your
craft, you developed them, you've worked harder on yourself, then on your job, you
skills and value that you can provide, then it's going to be an easy fit.
It'll be a very easy fit for you to get that job and you don't need to
oversell, because a lot of people that try to oversell themselves, and it's
so obvious when you're interviewing people how they're trying to sell
themselves so much. Often times that can be a red flag as well.
You don't want to have the person that is just all talk and trying to
convince you why they're the right person for the job. You're not going to get
hired that way. A lot of tips for you guys. A lot of things I just kind of
off-loaded for you guys that can hopefully help you guys get that next job
interview, and there's also a few other basic things as well. Making
sure that you show up early,
make sure that you're dressed professionally. Make sure that you have maybe gone over the
potential questions that you can get asked for a job interview, and you've
rehearsed them. You practiced them. That all fits in to all the preparation element
for applying for a job. Of course, make sure that you follow-up. Make
sure that you follow-up for a job. If you're really committed to a job and you
really want it, you're going to really impress the company when you follow-up.
You follow-up, and you maybe provide more value. I think the best
to get a job, honestly ... I've had one or two employees do this for me, is if
you really want a job, offer to work for free.
You can go to the business and say, "You know what? I'm so committed
to getting this position and helping you grow your business, that I'm willing
to offer and work for you for free for the next month.
You don't have to pay me, and I want to prove myself to you. I want to prove my
worth. I want to over deliver, and after the next thirty days, you don't feel
that were the right fit,
that's fine. You don't have to hire me. If you feel that I am the right fit, then
you can hire me for the position."
I've had someone that did that for me in my business, a virtual assistant,
actually. She said, "You know what? I don't want you to pay me." I said, "No, no I want to pay you."
She said, "No, you're not allowed to pay me, because I'm going to prove myself to you,
the value that I'm going to add your business." Man, when you do that,
you're going to stand out from everyone else. You're probably going to get the job if you
actually deliver what you say, and you're not just all talk.
Man, if you can do that, you can get jobs pretty
easily. It's just willing to stand out in that way, go above and beyond.
Remember to add massive value. That's really the key thing to be successful in
business, and life, and a job, and whatever it might be.
Those are some job interview tips that I have for you. Hopefully that's helpful.
