    Ready to uncover the habits of the best job candidates? We sat down with industry veteran William Vanderbloemen to dig into the insights he’s gathered from his diverse career path and extensive interviewing experiences. From his start as a pastor to working with a Fortune 200 firm and launching his own company, Vanderbloemen has conducted over 30,000 face-to-face interviews! His fascinating journey has allowed him to keenly observe the common habits of standout candidates—which he's ready to share.

    Astonishingly, the most successful candidates all share a common trait: high responsiveness. Vanderbloemen sheds light on how such a seemingly simple habit can make you stand out in a crowded job market. We'll also tackle the often-dreaded interview question: "Tell me about yourself." You might be surprised how a dash of self-awareness and a little prep work can transform your answer from mundane to memorable. 

    As we wrap up, Vanderbloemen shares his unique method for kickstarting conversations at the end of an interview, and introduces us to his data-driven book. But that's not all! He devised a self-assessment tool that can help you identify your three best habits from a list of twelve. This innovative tool might just be the game-changer you need to uncover your blind spots and understand how you're perceived by others. Tune in and let's crack the code of successful interviews together!

Game changer!

I’ve been sick with worry about an interview for a job I really want - I thought I would never be able to effectively communicate my experience and fit for the job. After listening to multiple episodes and practicing the techniques - I now feel comfortable, confident and ready ! I’m so grateful. Thank you!

Bednets ,

Fantastic!!
