Episode notes
• Traditional interview answers focusing on yourself (commute, company culture) are ineffective.
• Companies hire to solve problems and achieve outcomes.
• Craft interview answers that showcase your skills and how they benefit the company.
• Use the job description to understand the company's needs and tailor your answer accordingly.
• Quantify your achievements with past experiences to demonstrate impact.
• Focus on being a solution provider, not just someone filling a job title.
• This approach can be used in cover letters and interview responses, even if the specific question isn't about why you applied.
• If you can't connect your skills to the company's needs, it might not be the best job for you.
