Transcript

The first two minutes of your interview are what determines whether you're going to get the job or not. Listen up. So, think about the last time you were watching a Netflix show. Within the first few minutes, you'd probably decided whether you're going to continue with the show or whether you're not. So let's say the movie was going to be like an interesting one, but within the first two to three minutes, it started off really poorly. I would definitely be skipping it onto another one. A lot of people now have very short attention spans. That's also the same way the interviews first. The first two to three minutes are the trailer. Is the interviewer not deciding whether you're qualified or not. They're deciding whether they are interested enough to continue listening to your stories. And that is why two people can give exactly answer completely different results. So one person starts strong, a clear introduction, energy, compelling story about who they are and the value that they bring. And the other person starts off rambling, how are they doing this job, listening to their responsibilities, making the interviewer understand. Now, two people have similar experience, but different trailers. Like the Netflix, if the trailer doesn't grab hard engaged for the next hour. Is why you're telling yourself. It's not just another question. The opening scene of your interview, you need to nail it. If you need help nailing that answer, say hi.
