Interviews are tough for everyone on both sides of the table. Formulating the "right" questions can be particularly challenging. As a leader, you want to understand the candidate’s background, experience, and work style in depth. However, direct questions on these areas often fall short. I prefer focusing on situational questions - "Tell me about a time when..." These questions reveal the candidate’s past actions and approaches, providing a deeper discussion when needed. In a recent interview, a candidate explained how they built their team, decided on converting contractors to full-time employees, and allocated tasks. Their strategic responses were perfect. Comment "Questions" to get my cheat sheet on the four types of interview questions. #CareerCoach #Interview #Questions #Leader

Who is that leader who has left a lasting impression on you, even years later? What did they do that was so impactful? How did their words resonate with you? How did you feel when they spoke? Let me share a story about a leader who has stayed in my mind (the story of a less inspiring leader will come later). She entered a new department with the goal of making a significant impact. Although she was unfamiliar with our business, her primary focus was on the people, which was evident from the start. She swiftly identified my interests and noticed I was feeling restless and unchallenged. Proactively, she started making calls on my behalf. Within a few weeks, she connected me with several partners, allowing me to explore their work. She encouraged me to take on stretch projects and eventually gave me the confidence to apply for a new role within one of these organizations. Even years later, her influence has remained with me. Who is the leader that has stuck with you? What lessons did you learn from them? #CareerCoach #Leadership #WomenInLeadership

After conducting over 50 interviews in just 5 months (for multiple roles), I’ve found one of the most disappointing trends to be the lack of questions from candidates. Asking questions demonstrates your enthusiasm, interest, and curiosity. So, what’s holding you back from asking questions during an interview? Do you feel that they won't be accepted? Do you feel the interviewer will see you as a trouble? I get this, it can happen especially if you're nervous (which is very normal!) But if you don't feel like you can ask questions or even worse, ask a question and the company doesn't respond or is rude, RUN! This is not the right company for you! Remember, every candidate has both the right and the obligation to ask questions during an interview. Here are a few of my recommendations: ❓ What does your ideal partnership look like? (to cross-functional partners) ❓ How is this team regarded by the rest of the company? ❓ If I were to be hired, what would I need to accomplish in the first 6 months to be considered a great hire? (to hiring manager or above) What are some of your favorite questions to ask during an interview? #CareerCoach #Leadership #Interview Jaclyn Rose

Now that you know your WHY to becoming a leader, how do you start? 🙌Develop - yourself and others. 🙌Join ERGs or local groups to network and learn from others. 🙌Mentor and Coach others. 🙌Volunteer to lead projects or initiatives. 🙌Speak up! In meetings, on slack, in emails. #CareerCoach #leader #womeninleadership

Why aren't you being seen as a leader? Reassess by reviewing and ruminating on these slides. Think about what hits you positively and negatively. Do the work to truly show up! #CareerCoach #womeninleadership #leader

Struggling to show up as a leader by how you present yourself? Stay engaged and present whether you're online or in person. Focus intently and listen authentically. Take up the visual space on camera. For a quick self-check, record your next few meetings. Would you think you're a leader by watching yourself? #CareerCoach #WomenInLeadership

Where are you stuck? Is it in creating your resume? In updating your LinkedIn? Do you not know how to convey your skills and experience in an interview? Are you not sure how to bring up your career and growth to your leader? I'm a Type A, perfectionist. But If I allow myself to work on everything until it's truly up to my standard, I'd never get anything done! Instead I do the thing, sit on it, and then reevaluate later and publish! #CareerCoach #Stuck

Showing up as a leader is possible when not leading a team. How? 💡 Advocate for others. 💡 Allow space for others to speak. 💡 Giving credit. 💡 Mentor and Coach others. 💡 Help others at work. 💡 Lean In. What does this look like in reality? What do you think? #careercoach #Leadership

Is your LinkedIn Profile and Page allowing for the highest visibility for networking and your job search? 👀 Is your profile picture professional and showing your face? 🏆 Is your job title header the role you are targeting? ✍🏼 Are your job descriptions showing your impact & accomplishments? 🎓 Is your education over 10 years ago? If so, remove the dates. What else can you do to make yourself more visible? #CareerCoach #Visibility
