OWN THE
INTERVIEW

How Do You Build Connections?
People hire people they like — it’s a golden rule of recruitment.
​
And people usually like people who are similar to them.
​
So I coach candidates to actively build rapport and find commonalities with the interviewers.
​
An easy way to do this is to hijack the most common opening question in an interview:
​
“Tell us about yourself.”
​
You can use that question to start a conversation and build a connection.
Doing this will start building a bond, make the interview feel more like a conversation, and help everyone in the room relax.
