Stories That Get You Hired

The most important thing you bring to the table in any interview is not your resume, your credentials, or your checklist of qualifications, but rather your case studies.

I hire for one reason and one reason only – because I believe you will produce the results I need. You can tell me you will, you can draw up a proposed work plan with facts and figures, but what will sell me is the demonstration of relevant results you have produced in the past. And the more such case studies you can draw upon, the more believable you become. But that only works if your stories are told the right way and include certain key elements!

• Can you give a “2 Minute Pitch” that’s compelling and leaves your interviewer anxious to hear more?
• Do you have concise, engaging, results-oriented stories that you use to back up every single point you make during an interview?

Join us as Job Search Strategist John Hadley shows how to tell your HERO story in a manner that's interesting, that flows and shows the progression in your career, and that leaves the listener with a number of promising places to ask follow up questions. He will then share and demonstrate the To Care template he teaches his one-on-one clients to help them turn interviews into offers.
