3 TIPS TO ACE YOUR NEXT INTERVIEWS

Interview is the most critical stage of your job search. No matter how you reached here, you need to clear this stage to get that offer!

Right now, I am experiencing a masterclass of amazing interview with a client of mine.

He is very senior - think C-2 for a Fortune 100 company. When we started working, honestly, the interviewing was not engaging and I thought it will be an uphill task to get him a role

But as is the case with some of my favorite clients, he took my advice and did a 180 degree turnaround!

In fact, he has become a Live masterclass of what good interviews are about! (Amazing coachability there)

So, here I am distilling my Top 3 advice I gave that made a huge impact:

1. Connection, Confidence & Competence

Here’s the deal: organizations aren’t just hiring skills; they’re hiring YOU. They want to know:

•  Can you connect with them and their team? Most importantly, can you connect the dots of their painpoint and the skills you bring?
• Do you bring the confidence to tackle challenges?
• Are you competent and eager to grow?

The key is tailoring your responses to their unique needs. Research their culture, recent projects, and challenges to weave these insights into your answers.

2. Keep It Crisp

In interviews, time matters.

Aim for 1.5 to 2 minutes per answer. For some points, 30–45 seconds might be enough. If there’s more to say, conclude with:

"I’d be happy to dive deeper into any of these areas if you’d like."

3. Make It a Dialogue

The best interviews feel like conversations, not monologues. Engage your interviewer with questions that show curiosity and a collaborative mindset.

You’re not just answering questions—you’re building rapport, sharing a vision, and proving you’re the right fit.
