#24: How To Conquer The 3 Toughest Interview Questions With Confidence

Recently, I was coaching an executive leader on their interview preparation and they asked: “What are the most common questions which trip people up in an interview -- especially at the executive level?”

And I thought it would be a great topic to unpack further on today’s podcast.

Because what I’m noticing is there’s a lot of noise and conflicting advice about interview preparation -- which leaves you more confused than ever. 

And the fear you won’t have the confidence to address these questions to the best of your ability can hold you back from applying for jobs in the first place. 

But when the world of work and employer expectations are constantly evolving, how do you know what’s working right now?

Well the good news is, there are some core principles which always hold true when it comes to your interview strategy.

In this episode, I’m sharing the top 3 interview questions which trip people up -- and how to address them. You'll walk away with clarity on how to answer those curly questions and nail your next interview, with confidence!

You'll learn:

• Why the classic ‘tell me about yourself’ question is one of the most difficult to answer -- and HOW to simplify your response for interview success
• What to do when you’re asked your salary expectations and practical tips to prepare for your next negotiation
• How to reframe your weaknesses and use it as an opportunity to highlight your potential
