Fail to prepare, prepare to WAFFLE
THINKING is your ENEMY during interview. The more you have to think, the more you will struggle
So, you are asked a question at interview
You don’t have an answer
You need time to think, but FEAR awkward silences
So, you start talk and waffle to buy time
Afterall the little hamster needs to get on the wheel to start your brain
BUT it gets worse….
Mid-answer you think “what question did they ask me?”
Then, post-interview, you do your face palm emoji and think “why did I not say this?”
I’m sure this scenario sounds familiar to many of you
Structured interview preparation will help you
★ It’ll cut the amount of thinking you do at interview
★ It’ll reduce waffling
★ It’ll increase focus
★ It’ll ensure you sell yourself to the MAX
