Natasha BazilevychHostBut there are three things that I want to share with you that are really important if you are looking for a job or if, if it's not even a job interview, you can really learn from this episode for other different types of situations in your life.
So first of all, the first tip is lead with the result, then tell the story.
Have you heard of, of such a, a concept called BLOT, bottom line on top? It's really important in journalism, in newspapers, in blogs, in, uh, newsletters, emails, actually everywhere in communication.
A lot of times when people start speaking, and job interviews is one of those examples, is when people would start talking about themselves if they're asked to share something.
They will s- uh, give five, seven, eight sentences of their own story before they get to the bottom, before they get to the main point.
You have to first sh- show the result, say the most important thing, lead with that, and then you can tell your story, then you can explain how you achieved something.
Actually, that is true not even just in job interviews, but also in podcast interviews, I should tell you, as an interviewer.
