Episodio 11: Entrevista de trabajo (work interview)


Acing a job interview goes beyond showcasing your skills and experience. It's about persuasion – convincing the interviewer you're the perfect fit. Here are three key techniques to transform your interview from good to great:

1. The Power of Storytelling: Facts and figures are important, but stories resonate. Weave a compelling narrative about a time you faced a challenge in a previous role.  Describe your thought process, actions taken, and the positive outcome. This not only highlights your skills but also demonstrates your problem-solving abilities and impact.

2. The "Why" Factor:  Don't just explain what you can do; connect it to the company's mission. Research the company's values and goals. During your interview, explain why their vision aligns with your own aspirations. This showcases your genuine interest and how you'd contribute to their success.

3. Anticipation is Key:  Prepare for their questions, but also anticipate potential objections about your experience or qualifications.  For example, if you lack direct experience in a specific area, highlight transferable skills or relevant coursework.  Have data or references ready to back up your claims, demonstrating your initiative and preparedness.

By mastering these techniques, you'll move from simply answering questions to shaping the narrative of the interview. You'll showcase your passion, problem-solving skills, and alignment with the company, ultimately persuading them that you're the ideal candidate for the job. Remember, a successful interview is a two-way street. Let your enthusiasm and persuasive communication shine through, and you'll be well on your way to landing your dream job.

3 Persuasive Techniques to Win in a Job Interview - Episode 99

안녕하세요. 
오늘은 제가 한 잘못된 선택에 대해서 이야기할 거예요. 

제가 살고 있는 곳에는 오늘 눈이 정말 많이 내렸어요. 
눈이 아주 많이 내려서 앞이 안 보일 정도였어요.

앞이 안 보일 정도로 많은 눈이 내리면 길을 걷는 것도 힘들어요. 
그런데 제가 실수로 겨울용 부츠(boots)가 아닌 운동화를 신고 나가버렸어요. 
날씨가 추우니까 옷을 따뜻하게 입어야 하는 것은 생각했는데
신발을 미처 생각하지 못했어요. 

한국어 수업을 하러 출근하는 길이 정말 미끄러웠어요.
너무 미끄러워서 넘어질 뻔한 순간들이 많았어요,

다행히 한 번도 넘어지지 않았지만, 넘어지지 않으려고 미끄러운 길을 계속 신경을 쓰면서 걸어야 했어요. 그리고 학교에 도착했을 때, 저는 이미 너무 피곤했어요. 

미끄러운 길을 30분 동안 걷는 게 은근히 사람을 피곤하게 만들더라고요. 

한국어 수업이 끝나고 다시 집에 돌아오는 퇴근 길,
저는 그 미끄러운 길을 다시 걸어와야 했어요.

발가락에 힘을 딱 주고, 안 넘어지기 위해서 진짜 노력했어요. 
그리고 다짐했어요.

아~ 이제 정말로 눈이 오면 무조건 부츠만 신어야겠다. 운동화는 절대 안 된다.

오늘같이 눈이 많이 오는 날에  운동화를 선택한 것은 정말 잘못된 선택이었어요.

다시는 이런 선택을 하지 않을 거예요.

미끄러운 길 때문에 출퇴근길이 조금 피곤하고 힘들었지만 
눈이 오는 날에 운동화를 신으면 안 된다는 소중한 교훈을 얻었습니다. 

여러분이 살고 있는 곳의 날씨는 어때요?
혹시 제가 살고 있는 곳처럼 눈이 많이 내리고 있으면
조심해서 길을 걸어야 해요. 다치지 말고 건강하게 겨울을 잘 보내기를 바랍니다.

감사합니다.

잘못된 선택_A wrong choice

This is a brief summary of the story of how I helped my client improve her communication at work. 

A project manager felt disrespected by her team due to a lack of technical knowledge and weak communication. To address this, I implemented a 3-step approach: 1) bi-weekly technical briefings, 2) replacing weak verbs with strong verbs to convey authority, and 3) assertiveness training to express ideas clearly. Within weeks, she confidently participated in technical discussions, leading her team more effectively. This improved communication boosted morale and led to a successful product launch.
