town manager expert brent bloom

0:20

that says how to best spend your time preparing for a job interview it's a

0:23

3-step model

0:24

first step is to set the context this is like preparing to repair

0:28

to do that you go to the job description almost every job description has two

0:32

sections

0:33

somewhere in there you'll find skills and competencies or what they want you

0:36

to know

0:36

if they're gonna hire you and you'll find experience requirements or what

0:39

they want you to have done

0:40

therein are you you take those two pieces of information

0:44

you're gonna make a list for the job for everything here

0:47

irreparable on West so first doesn't happen sees

0:50

they want you know Microsoft Excel gonna put on the list they want you to know

0:54

basic accounting

0:55

gonna pull on the list for experiences they were here manage more than 5 people

1:00

put it on the list they want you to have wrong custer group

1:03

graphic us to respond to customer service panelist

1:07

the reason you do that is because now you're gonna make a second last

1:10

right next the job list and this is the last for

1:13

you now for everything on the job list you're gonna put at least one bowl here

1:17

here's how you do that for skills and competencies you for example

1:21

so if they want to know Excel you're gonna put the time use Excel

1:24

Project X to help get the product back on track there was no basic accounting

1:28

your talk about customer why now you have to customer they're coming systems

1:32

down here for experiences during a step further

1:35

include metrics they want you to manage greater than 5 people

1:38

you're gonna make an order that came with sexy be managed and

1:42

you're gonna make a note your percent turnover scores and how they were among

1:44

the best

1:45

your company they what you've done customer service you're gonna make a

1:48

note of that User Group around

1:50

and economic and/or the powder customer service districts customer satisfaction

1:53

that proved it well you see what you're doing here is we're taking things a step

1:56

further

1:57

if they say they want you know it you say I know and I'm done it

2:00

if they say they want you to have done it you say I've done it I've proven

2:03

successful at it

2:04

now once you've done this you're done with step 1: you're ready for step two

2:08

step two is to prepare your answers to do that

2:11

a to figure out what questions you might get oust now here for examples

2:14

questions about successor common that is well here it successful

2:18

how to do it questions of failure common when he made a mistake

2:21

how did you recover questions about mentoring are common when it had been a

2:25

mentor

2:25

when you had a mentor questions about teamwork common

2:29

when he helped him recover from recession helped him turn around et

2:32

cetera

2:32

if you have other ideas are questions they might ask put them on this list

2:36

if you can once you've got a list a possible questions obviously you prepare

2:40

answers

2:40

they repair one or two answers for each item on this list the key is

2:44

you want these answers to map back to this why are you list

2:48

so let's say they ask you a question about it. when you run a team

2:51

successfully

2:51

you wanna be prepared to talk about this team right here Iran and how your

2:55

turnover was so good

2:56

you see what you're doing is your answering the questions in terms of

2:59

experiences you've had

3:00

that proved you match the job description once you're done preparing

3:03

that

3:04

there's one more step and that is to prepare your own questions

3:07

when you get a chance to ask questions to do that you're gonna go

3:11

the company information on the website maybe curtain plays

3:14

find out about the visit to make sure you understand what they do picture

3:18

understand who their competition is

3:19

make sure you understand how they're performing and see what you can find out

3:27

help you to perform better to be or keep eating your competition
