Let failure teach you.

Let failure teach you.

Yes, let it teach you but in a structured way.  After each and every interview, always go through what my wife calls an interview inquest and what I call an interview self debrief. 

You might get a job offer, but if you don’t it’s never too early to start preparing for the next one. 

Here are 10 ‘Did I’ questions for you: 

1. Did I arrive at the interview in the right frame of mind? 
2. Did I present myself well physically? 
3. Did I make good eye contact and remember to smile? 
4. Did I display initiative? 
5. Did I answer all of the interviewer’s questions well? 
6. Did I get the achievements across that illustrated my relevant transferable skills? 
7. Did I feel I was in control of the interview? 
8. Did I make it clear that I had done my homework? 
9. Did I ask the right questions in the right way? 
10. Did I display the right attitude? 

Now review all your answers and decide what you need to do to improve your performance next time. #proteuscareermanagement #interviewskills #interviewperformance #interviewtechnique #interviewdebrief
