I love how creative my friends are, but using real job interviews as mock interviews? Now, I've heard it all. Allow me to explain.
A friend of mine has been on a career advancement search in recent months and as one of his references I was privileged to the positions he has applied for. While all of them were within his “wheelhouse” sort to speak, some didn't look quite aligned to what he was conveying as the next stage in his career so I asked for clarification. His response came as a surprise, yet it did make some sense.
“I don’t have enough recent in-person interviewing experience so I’m sharpening my skills” is what he said. He’s been applying to a wider range of positions in hope of interviews (without really expecting much) just so he could practice his job interviewing skills with strangers and be ready when that perfect position presented itself. Crazy and a bit over the top, but it clearly worked for him.
How do you improve your interviewing skills?
