Enthusiasm Wins! 5 Ways to Show It & 4 Killer Mistakes
How to demonstrate enthusiasm during a job interview. Finding a balance between not showing enough and showing too much enthusiasm.
How to Show Enthusiasm
Do your homework on the company: research their mission, values, products, culture, and recent projects.
Bring materials to the interview: portfolio, presentations on how you can contribute to the specific role, or ideas tailored to the company's needs.
Verbally express your interest: mention specific aspects of the job and company that excite you and explain why.
Follow up thoughtfully: send a thank-you email or handwritten note reiterating your interest and qualifications.
Demonstrate that you are a continuous learner: highlight relevant courses, certifications, conferences, or workshops you've completed.
Mistakes to Avoid
Desperation: avoid phrases like "I'll take anything" or "I need this job so badly."
Obsession: don't send constant emails or calls after the interview.
Overly aggressive selling: focus on how your skills can benefit the company, not just getting the job.
Lack of focus: be clear about why you're excited about the role and how your skills can help the company. -
The Interview Answer that Lands Jobs
• Traditional interview answers focusing on yourself (commute, company culture) are ineffective.
• Companies hire to solve problems and achieve outcomes.
• Craft interview answers that showcase your skills and how they benefit the company.
• Use the job description to understand the company's needs and tailor your answer accordingly.
• Quantify your achievements with past experiences to demonstrate impact.
• Focus on being a solution provider, not just someone filling a job title.
• This approach can be used in cover letters and interview responses, even if the specific question isn't about why you applied.
• If you can't connect your skills to the company's needs, it might not be the best job for you. -
Brandon Bramley - 5 Ways to Negotiate & Receive Amazing Offers
Negotiating your salary is important and you shouldn't be afraid to do it.
The best way to negotiate is to gather information about the position's salary range beforehand.
You should wait until you receive a job offer before negotiating.
When negotiating, focus on the total compensation package, not just the base salary.
Be prepared to counter the employer's initial offer with your own research and reasoning.
Don't be afraid to walk away from an offer that doesn't meet your needs.
Here are some additional tips from the article:
It's okay to ask the employer about the salary range for the position during the interview process.
When responding to the employer's salary question, you can say something like "based on my current compensation and market research, I would need to be in the range of X, Y, and Z."
If you have other job offers, you can use them as leverage during your negotiation with your preferred employer. However, it's best to avoid mentioning them unless necessary.
Be prepared to address common objections from employers, such as "this is already a very competitive offer" or "we have a strict salary range."
If you're applying for a job that requires you to enter your desired salary, you can enter zeros or write "competitive with the market average." -

Erin Diehl - Improv Techniques that Improve Job Interviews
Erin Diehl of Improve It!
Improv can help job seekers in a number of ways, including building confidence, improving communication skills, and thinking on their feet.
Job seekers can use improv techniques to network with potential employers and during job interviews. For example, they can use the "Yes, and" technique to build rapport with interviewers and show that they are a good listener.
Job seekers can also use improv techniques to manage their own thoughts and emotions during the job search process. For example, they can use the "New Choice" technique to challenge negative thoughts and reframe them in a more positive light.
