I’ve always enjoyed it. Interviewing for a job. I know, you think I’m sick to write that; however, it’s the truth.
The entire job interview process has always fascinated me. Job application, elevator pitch, meeting the interviewer, answering interview questions, and ultimately asking for the job have always come natural to me.
It feels natural because interviewing for a job fits my personality style (confirmed by various personality tests). I like to meet and talk to strangers. It does not mean job interviews have always loved me back.
I have failed. I have flopped. I have stumbled through interview questions because forgot what I was even asked. To this day, I have not even heard back from several places I interviewed with- should I give up hope after 9 years?
I have also experienced incredible success through interviewing. I landed my dream job (at the time) with a Fortune 100 company. I was presented 6 job offers in one day. I sailed through interviews, eloquently navigating questions, responses, and endearing the interviewer to my personal success.
The Secret
When interviews have gone well, I spent enough time in preparation. When I absolutely bombed interviews, well… you can guess.
Each success and failure brought me closer to a refined, dialed-in interviewing system. Polished Interview Prep is designed to provide the best resources available to help you prepare for your next big interview.
The Solution
This site will bring you the advice, tools, and tips I give my family and friends when they are preparing to interview. I know it will help you too.
The solution lies in the preparation needed to ace your next big interview. LeBron James, Taylor Swift, and Tom Brady did not become international success stories by failing to prepare. Most of their hard work is completed behind the scenes. Approach interviewing the same way- preparation drives performance!
The interview is the performance, the preparation is the path to get you there. You can’t control if you are the best candidate to fill the position- but you can control if you are the most prepared.
