How to develop 'selling stories' in a job interview?

Developing compelling stories to sell yourself in a job interview involves showcasing your skills, experiences, and achievements in a way that captivates the interviewer's attention. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you develop these stories effectively:

There will be 4 areas that we'll dive into today:

1. Identify relevant experiences
2. Choose impactful examples
3. Structure your stories using the STAR method

- The STAR Method explanation:
Situation: Describe the context and provide background information about the situation you encountered.
Task: Explain the specific task or challenge you faced within that situation.
Action: Detail the actions you took to address the challenge or task. Be specific about what you did, how you did it, and why you chose that approach.
Result: Share the outcome of your actions, emphasizing the positive impact you made. Use quantifiable results whenever possible to demonstrate the value you added.

4. Focus on the problem-solving aspect

Remember, the goal is to demonstrate your skills, experiences, and achievements in a compelling and memorable way. Developing and refining your storytelling abilities will help you effectively sell yourself during a job interview. Good luck!

4-Year-Old Signs Book Deal to Publish Poems
A 4-year-old boy from the UK has signed a book deal to publish his collection of poems.

Nadim Shamma-Sourgen was discovered by poet and teacher Kate Clanchy, who won the 2020 Orwell Prize for political writing. Clanchy knew Shamma-Sourgen's mother, who teaches the study of poetry at the University of Reading.

Clanchy began sharing Shamma-Sourgen's poems on Twitter, where they became popular with her followers. Speaking to The Guardian, Clanchy said that she didn't share them because they were like an adult's poems, but because they were so much like a child's way of thinking.

The young poet has now signed a book deal with Walker Books, a children's book company, making him one of the youngest writers to get a book deal.

According to Guinness World Records, Dorothy Straight from the US is the youngest female to publish a book. She wrote a book in 1962 when she was 4 years old. It was published in 1964.

The youngest male writer is Thanuwana Serasinghe from Sri Lanka, who wrote a book when he was 4 years and 9 months old. It was published nine days before his 5th birthday.

In an interview with Sky News, Shamma-Sourgen's mother said that he's still learning to read and write, so he speaks his poems out loud and she writes them down for him.

"I like writing poems especially about nature. I feel happy that my poems will be in a book," Shamma-Sourgen told The Guardian. As well as nature, Shamma-Sourgen's poems talk about things like love, being lonely and bugs in his garden.

The book of poems will be published in summer 2021.
