Tips for Work and Life with Andrew LaCivita

How to Give Concise Answers in Your Job Interview


Listen Later

Are you a rambler?

Fast talker?

Slow talker?

Nervous when asked a question in an interview and curious just how long that ideal answer should be?

Or, how to deliver it concisely? Powerfully?

Today, it’s all about staying on track when you respond to interviewers.

Whether your response is one minute, three minutes, or five minutes, it needs to be packaged with the right information, powerful words that paint a picture, and phrases that elicit the feelings you want the interviewer to have about you.

That’s right.

They hire you based on feelings.

Why?

Because they have to hire you (or not) based on something.

And, they don’t exactly have enough time to get all the information they’d actually need to know whether you’d be a star. (Even though you and your beloved Coach are already certain that’d be the case.)

What’s more, they think four times faster than you can talk, so that gives them ample time to imagine.

Let’s get them imagining how awesome their lives will be once they hire you!

If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings:
