It’s important to go into a final interview with intentionality and a strategy in place so you can show up prepared and wow them in that final conversation. At this point in the process, interviewers have gotten to know you well, and this is your last opportunity to seal the deal.
How can you differentiate yourself from other candidates in final interviews? Below are some tips to consider:
- Demonstrate the value you could bring to the organization
-
-
- Prepare for the most common interview question you’ll almost always be asked: “Tell me about yourself.”
- Have your IMPACT stories ready to go!
- Make sure to practice first; scheduling an appointment with your Career Coach is a great way to prepare, as is Big Interview
- Use examples during the interview that align with the skill set needed for the role.
-
- Ask insightful questions when given the opportunity during the interview
-
-
- Always prepare questions to ask.
- Don’t ask anything that could easily be found online; prove that you did your research!
- Differentiate yourself. Asking what the team does to bond, how feedback is typically shared, or what the interviewer likes about working there will be better received than a generic question heard countless times before.
-
- Get your interviewers’ contact information
-
- Jot down the names and email addresses of your interviewers so you can follow up with a thank you email.
- If you don’t already have access to their email addresses, ask for them!
