Let's say you've landed a job interview for a position you really want. [notification] Well done. Congratulations. But when it's time for the interview, you might get a lot of conflicting advice. [notification] Be yourself. [notification] Whatever you do, don't be yourself. [notification] Take charge of the interview. [notification] Let the interviewer be in charge. Confusing, right? Well, I'm here to help. In this video, I've culled advice from top experts in the field and want to share strategic tips on how best to prepare, what to do, and what to say so that you can make a great impression in your next interview. [upbeat music] First, do your homework. Let's be honest, your primary job in the interview is to dazzle them with the fact that you're perfectly suited for the role. But before you can do that, you need to invest time in learning about the organization and the job. So find out as much as you can about how the organization is structured, its culture, and relevant industry trends. If possible, see what you can find out about the people conducting the interview. There may be valuable professional or personal points of connection that could help make your interview more relatable and memorable. Lastly, research the requirements and challenges of the particular position you're applying for and the qualities of a successful candidate based on that information. Ask yourself questions like, "What technical skills are essential to perform this job? What kinds of people skills would I need to succeed? What do I need to prove I already know how to do or that I'm willing to learn in order to be successful?" Being well-prepared will boost your confidence and give you a better chance of acing the interview. And all of this information is key to your success in the next tip: crafting your stories. That's right, it's story time, and these stories are all about why you are the perfect person for the job. As author Claudio Fernández-Aráoz reminds us, people buy into
