  • bring up in the interview and these are based on experiences achievements

  • projects tasks duties assignments that you have performed in the past that

  • my channel to look for those ones but essentially you want to make sure that

  • your stories follow the right structure just like in a good movie you want to

  • set up the situation talk about the action steps and talk about the results

  • that occurred tip number three is to cut your explanations down one way to

  • communicate with ease in an interview is to make sure that you don't allow

  • yourself to ramble in the interview whenever you're giving an explanation or

  • telling a story you want to limit the number of sentences that you speak and

  • be mindful and make sure that you get to the point quickly and efficiently

  • otherwise the interview where it may start zoning out and thinking about what

  • they have to get for dinner tonight tip number four show that you want to help

  • when you're not at ease you're nervous in an interview it's

  • likely because you are over analyzing yourself you are overly criticizing

  • yourself and you are thinking about what the other person is thinking about you

  • rather than thinking about how can I help him or her the person that's

  • sitting across the table from me how can I offer them value what can I do or say

  • to showcase to them that I have the right skills qualifications experience

  • and knowledge to be able to help them with their open pain point their open

  • position that they have available the pain points that they're dealing with

  • and the problems that they need to resolve so when you can shift your focus

  • away from yourself and on to the other person it'll help you to be able to

  • communicate with ease you'll be able to tell your stories in a more articulate

  • way and it helps you to be able to demonstrate to the employer your value

  • what you can do for them and finally tip number five is to practice in the mirror

  • back in the day in a past life when I had to go on job interviews this is

  • exactly what I used to do it's such a classic and effective technique yet I

  • don't understand why not too many people do it practicing in front of the mirror

  • helps you to put things in perspective that you're actually talking to another

  • face I mean in this case it happens to be your own but you're able to control

  • the things that you say while you're talking so you're giving yourself eye

  • contact and that helps you to mimic the environment of when you do go into the

  • interview what you need to do when it comes to giving the right eye contact

  • telling your stories in a compelling way and you're able to hear yourself out

  • loud as well so practicing in the mirror is such an effective technique I highly

  • recommend it definitely practice your answers ahead of time in the mirror
