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.

En el episodio de esta semana comento algunos verbos que siempre van seguidos de la misma preposición. 

Muchos estudiantes encuentran las preposiciones, o palabras pequeñas, como muchos se refieren a ellas muy díficiles, ¡y lo entiendo! Las preposiciones tienen reglas diferentes en cada idioma y muchas veces no tienen un equivalente exacto que funcione en todas las ocasiones. Por eso espero que este episodio os ayude, ya que los verbos que voy a mencionar hoy siempre usan  la misma preposición. Por lo tanto, mi objetivo es que cuando en el futuro vayáis a usar estros verbos no dudéis, no os tengais que parar a pensar qué preposición usar, os venga directamente a la cabeza. 

Después de escuchar el episodio, no te olvides de dejar una valoración en la plataforma en la que lo has escuchado. Luego pásate por mi instagram y dime si conoces otros verbos en español que siempre van acompañados de la misma preposición.

Si es un tema que te interesa y quieres aprender otros verbos que van seguidos de preposición, no solo la preposición “de”, puedes conseguir el pdf aquí. https://blancadelatorre.kartra.com/page/lTI227
