In a job market that is getting increasingly competitive, the right strategies, in the right order, are more important than ever. The way to career fulfillment is by finding the right job. The way to finding the right job, is by using the right strategies. The way to getting the right job is through a successful interview. It is not enough now to be really good at your profession, you must know exactly how to handle an interview so that you outshine your competition.  That is where my time tested and proven 4P Formula comes in handy.

The 4 P Formula to ace an interview: Projection, Preparation, Persuasion and Performance.  When you understand this formula and apply it to the interview process, your chances of landing the job considerably  increase.

Phone Screening

This is typically conducted by the recruiter or a Talent acquisition personnel. It could be referred to as a “quick chat” or call to “discuss the position further”. Whatever term they use, it is important to note that it is a screening call. The goal is to weed out the candidates who are not qualified for the next round.                                    

Interview

Interviews are traditionally face to face and on-site, but depending on various circumstances  it could be virtual. These tips apply to both types of interview formats and have been proven to work for both.

 I recommend that you Project everything out that you will need to do to ensure a successful interview. The first step while projecting is setting a goal around your interview. This helps you lay the process out and keeps you on track of what needs to be done.

The second step of the 4P Formula is Preparation.  You need to  Prepare for your interview by studying your resume and making sure it is readily accessible. Your resume is your professional history on paper, so make sure it tells the accurate story.

The third step of the 4P Formula is Persuasion.  Part of your job during the interview is to Persuade your interviewer that they not only made the right choice to interview you, but you are the best candidate for the position.

The fourth and final step is  Performance. The spotlight is on you, and you don’t want to let yourself or your audience (interviewer) down. In other words, how would you want to be viewed by your future co-workers?

Are you one, who experiences a severe case of what I call interview paralysis?

Perhaps you have gone for so many interviews, which yielded no results

Maybe you want fulfillment in your career and you don’t know how or where to begin?
