Do you have a job interview for an internal promotion or a new role that's really going
to help you accelerate your career. If so, stay tuned, because I'm going to give you
my top three tips to help you make sure that that job interview is awesome. For the best
career advice, make sure that you subscribe to my channel. And remember to hit the bell
so that you get notified when I post a new video every Tuesday. In my last video, I told
you about how you can get your promotion without ever having to apply or if you do have a formal
application process, having them beg you to apply for that promotion that you've been
dreaming of. If you haven't yet, go and watch that video first, and then come back here.
But you came to this video, because you are preparing for your job promotion interview,
maybe you were already in the formal process, and it was too late to do things by way. Or
maybe your company does just have a really rigid process. In any event, you have a job
promotion interview, and you want to make sure that you slay it.
Now if you're new to my channel, you might not be familiar. So I want to give you a fair
warning before you proceed. My videos are for super talented and super ambitious professionals
who are ready to escape the rules and defy gravity in their career. What that means is
you might have come here looking for how to answer specific interview questions like what's
your greatest strength? What's your greatest weakness? Tell me about a time that you were
a leader. But that's not what this video is going to be basically at all. So if you are
looking for a procedural how to do your research before your job promotion interview, or you
really just want the candid interview responses that probably are going to get you the job,
Iinvite you to explore one of those videos or go over there to Google will figure it
out. But if you want to own that job interview, and you want to make that promotion, yours,
I'm going to tell you how I've helped dozens of ambitious professionals just like you prepare
for their promotion interview. And they always land the job. In fact, these are the exact
same strategies that I put into place when I was recruited for a senior level role. And
they allowed me to totally flip the script. I interviewed them numerous times before I
actually agreed to interview with them. And that's the position that you want to be in
because that's what gets you the promotion, the job of your dreams and the paycheck that's
going to match your aspirations. Do you want to do the same thing? If so, let's get into
it. But before we do, just comment down below and tell me 'I want it!' Strategy one, can
you take control of the conversation? Now, I'm not advocating for you to be one of those
jerks who just takes the conversation wherever they want it to go? And they don't actually
answer any of the questions. And they kind of seem like they're bumbling nonsense. You
don't want to be that guy, that guy is not getting the job. What I am saying is that
as a candidate for the promotion, you have the opportunity, you need to generate enthusiasm
and excitement for getting your butt in that seat. Trust me, this is way more fun than
trying to figure out how to answer those boring interview questions, you're going to take
it totally off the rails into a really juicy place where you're actually going to be able
to have a really meaningful conversation. And when you leave the room, they're going
to remember you. No one remembers the person with the canned responses, they're going to
remember the person who brought forward new ideas, new concepts and new solutions. And
I'm not just saying this. I've interviewed literally hundreds of candidates, and every
single one who gave me those boring canned responses, I literally did not remember probably
30 minutes after meeting them, no matter how long we talked for. Because here's the thing,
average people give average interview answers. And exceptional people do not give average
answers. And they do not have bland answers to interview questions. They create an experience
and they excite the people in the room. And you don't have to have crazy charisma to do
this. You just need to be able to steer the conversation into the direction that's going
to showcase your greatest strengths and your potential. Strategy two is make their requirements
exactly what you have to offer. Now, in the situation that I told you about just a few
moments ago, where I actually interviewed the company, I didn't get the job that I wanted,
I didn't get crazy compensation for it, because I happen to convince them that I was the right
person for the job. I actually took the job and I made it something totally different.
I made it into the job that I wanted. And I didn't do that maliciously. I did that through
a series of exploration to figure out what they actually really needed. And then I brought
forward the solution. And I was able to have a conversation surrounding how I fit into
that solution. I made it happen by moving the goalpost, I asked a million questions,
we bounced around theories and ideas. And I shared and best practices would shine a
light on what they really needed for that opportunity. And honestly, I think that they
answered about 100 questions for me before I actually agreed to interview for them. And
by the time that I agreed to interview for that role, the opportunity had actually shifted
into something that was not only the perfect next step in my career, I was also the ideal,
and basically only candidate that fit all the requirements for the opportunity. And
I didn't have to answer any of those boring interview questions, which always make me
want to fall asleep. They already knew who I was, we were so far above and beyond answering
any of those standard interview questions that we were able to totally stay out of it
and interviewing was a breeze because they had already made their decision. If you want
the job promotion, you're not going to get it through a competition. You're going to
get it through totally changing the goalpost and making it yours. And to think, most candidates
go to a job interview without any questions at all.
Speaking of which, have you been that person? Have you been guilty of going into an interview
and not asking any questions about the opportunity? If so, comment below guilty. Strategy three,
do you believe in yourself? This is the meatiest of the problems because most of the super
talented and highly ambitious professionals that I meet that totally deserve the promotion,
don't believe that they do. They utterly lack confidence in their ability to succeed and
the next step of their career. So what happens? Well, some idiot comes along who has a false
sense of confidence completely sells everybody other ability to to do the job. Because everyone
sees their potential, even though they have no potential and they get the promotion, they
get the pay raise and they get the corner office. Listen, the harsh truth is, is that
if you don't believe in yourself, no one else is going to. If no one believes in you, you're
not going to get the promotion. Even if you give all the perfect job interview answers.
You need to fix this if you want to build the career that you are dreaming up. And this
transformation can start today. But let's be clear, your confidence issues did not start
by themselves and you're not going to fix it by yourself. This is not something that
you can fix on your own. This is something that I have helped every single one of my
clients with. I have a proven methodology that's going to help you build your confidence
