Top 10 Answers to Interview Questions ~ Leila Hormozi
The number one question that people ask in an interview is not really a question.
Why do they misinterpret it? I can tell you that nine times out of 10, when I say, tell me about yourself to somebody on an interview, what they come back with is they want to tell me their whole life story.
What they actually want to know is give me your sales pitch as to why you're fit for this role.
Why are you uniquely qualified? What experiences do you have that relate to the role that then make you the right candidate? What they're really asking when they say, tell me about yourself, is they're saying, what value do you bring to this company and role? So I want you to not even think.
It's what value do you bring to this company and role? How do you go about answering this question? The first piece is what you want to say is where you've been.
So say you're applying for a customer success representative or a customer success manager.
I've been a customer success manager at three of the Fortune 500 companies and over the last eight years, and what I was able to do with those three companies is drive X, Y, and Z results.
So the first thing you want to do is say what you have been, the exact title and role, and what results you have driven.
The second piece, once you've explained the title and results, is what are your biggest strengths? I've been a customer success manager at these three Fortune 500 companies.
I drove these results where I've increased retention from 10% retention to 80% retention.
My biggest strengths are that I'm fantastic at decreasing time to value for customers.
In fact, at my last company, I was able to decrease time to value by 20% in just a quarter.
And then you want to bring it home by saying, so the reason that I applied to work here is relate it back to why that pertains to the role.
