Have you ever been in an interview, and you want to give an example of how your experience is a perfect fit for the job, but you don’t feel you have the opportunity to share that example?
If you think there is something that applies to the job that you are interviewing for, that doesn’t come out in the conversation or the interviewer’s questioning, be sure to let them know!
The conversation can go like this: “If you don’t mind, can I add a couple of things that might be specifically applicable? I have start-up experience; my years at ___ directly correlate to this position because ____, and ___.”
We always ask, “Is there anything that I haven’t asked – that you’d like to share about your experience – that you think I should know?” If the interviewer doesn’t ask…make sure you get a chance to say what you need to say. If you don’t – you’re missing an opportunity to sell yourself.
Know the job you are applying for (as much as you can)…and make sure you highlight your strengths and why you are a fit for the position!
