Interview Cheat Sheet Credits to Amy Gibson, follow her for more practical cheat sheets. ------ Here's the original post: I've interviewed 100s of job seekers in the last 4 years. What truly sets a successful candidate apart? It's not experience. It's interview preparation. 🔖 Save my ultimate cheat sheet to crush your next interview. And here are 6 more practical tips: 1. Prepare for the "Salary Question" • When asked about salary expectations, flip it around: "I'm excited about the role and would love to hear the range you've budgeted for this position." • If pressed, give a researched range: "Based on market research, roles like this typically range from $X to $Y. Is that within your budget?" 2. Tackle the "Why Should We Hire You?" Question • Use the PAR formula: Problem, Action, Result • "Your job description mentions [specific challenge]. In my previous role, I [action you took] which resulted in [quantifiable outcome]. I'm excited to bring that same problem-solving approach to your team." 3. Handle "Tell Me About a Time You Failed" • Choose a real failure, but focus on the growth • "In my last role, I missed a critical deadline because I underestimated the project scope. Here's what I learned and how I've prevented it from happening again..." 4. Prep Powerful Questions to Ask the Interviewer: • "What would success look like in this role in 6 months?" • "How does this position contribute to the company's long-term goals?" • "Can you tell me about a challenge the team is facing and how this role might help address it?" 5. Avoid the "Where Do You Want to Be in 5 Years" Trap • Align your answer with company growth: "I'm excited about [company's future plans]. In 5 years, I hope to have contributed significantly to those goals by [specific relevant examples]." 6. Win the "Tell Me About a Conflict" Question • Use SEAL: Situation, Effect, Action, Learning • Focus on resolution and positive outcomes 💡 Also remember to: • End strong: "Is there anything about my background or qualifications you need clarification on?" • Send a thank-you email within 24 hours, referencing specific discussion points Your preparation: ✅ Shows respect for the interviewer's time ✅ Demonstrates your genuine interest in the role Be confident.

How To Deal With Crisis Credits to Jeroen Kraaijenbrink, follow him for more practical content. ------ Here's the original post: We all have to deal with a crisis every now and then, big or small. But how to do so effectively? These are the 6 competencies you need—personally, and as an organization. Most people and organizations I know are not well-prepared for crises. If a crisis happens, they are taken by surprise and don’t know how to respond. In a world where crises are a normal aspect of life, you need to be able to handle them so that they don’t completely put your world upside down. These six competencies are essential: ANTICIPATE Being able to imagine and see crises emerging before they strike and to create a shared awareness of this in your organization. This means: • Imagining the very possibility of being struck by whatever kind of crisis. • Being aware of the kind of crises that you might face. • Detecting crises early on, so that you see them coming. UNDERSTAND Being able to identify the nature of crises, when they may occur, why and what their impact could be on relevant stakeholders. This means: • Understanding the causes of crises • Understanding the effects of crises • Understanding the solutions for crises PREVENT Being able to prevent crises from happening, reduce their likelihood or stop them at a very early stage. This means: • Generic prevention: Reducing the likelihood of a category of events from happening, such as errors, attacks, or leaks. • Specific prevention: Stopping a specific event from happening, which you already know is on its way. CONTAIN Being able to avoid crises to escalate and to limit their damage to the organization and its various stakeholders. This means: • Operational containment: Making sure the operational damage done is limited as far as possible. • Reputational containment: Making sure the damage to your reputation is limited as much as possible. RECOVER Being able to resume activities in the short-term and to restore and rebuild an organization that is at least as strong as before. This means: • Repair: Short-term recovery, making sure the organization is up and running again as much and as soon as possible. • Restore: Longer-term recovery, focused on bringing back the organization to its original, pre-crisis strength. • Reform: Using crisis to make significant improvements to the organization that make it emerge stronger from the crisis. LEARN Being able to reflect on and distill key lessons from crises and the way they are handled, leading to systematic improvements. This means: • Learn how to better deal with the type of crisis that was experienced. • Learn how to improve the other five crisis-proof competences. • Learn how to create a more crisis-proof strategy and organization. Do you master these six competencies? If not, which ones do you need to improve? ------- Follow Business Infographics to learn from the best visuals.
