I've got another tip to stand out during your job interview ... Last week I shared a bunch of job interview tips. First, I talked about how to prepare for a screener interview. Next, I talked about how to prepare for a selection interview. (Links in comments.) Today, I'd like to share how to prepare for a 2nd+ round of interviews. (But this can apply to the selection interview too!) When you're on your 2nd+ interview, they know you have the basic skills to do the job. At this point, they're deciding between you and a few other people who also have the basic skills to do the job. Here's how you stand out from the other candidates: ✅ Make a 30/60/90 plan. This plan outlines what you will do in the first 30, 60, and 90 days on the job. Hear me out: At this point in the interview process, you are familiar with the company and their needs. You know what they want out of the job. ✅ So write a plan that illustrates you can deliver what they want. For example, if I were interviewing for a Marketing Manager role and I knew the company wanted me to build out the marketing department, my rough 30/60/90 plan might look like this: 30 DAYS: 1) Market research: Analyze the target audience/competitors/industry, identify gaps in market position. 2) Discovery: Meet with leadership to understand goals, review marketing assets. 3) Assess marketing activities and easy opportunities. 4) Set metrics on lead gen, brand awareness, and digital presence. 60 DAYS: 1) Develop marketing strategy: Write marketing plan, outline core pillars. 2) Identify required roles and write job descriptions. 3) Introduce marketing automation tools and performance tracking. 4) Launch pilot campaigns: Test messaging, gather insights, refine strategy. 90 days: 1) Scale campaigns across key channels. 2) Integrate new hires. 3) Present results to leadership. 4) Establish 12-month roadmap and goals. ✅ And I would bring that 30/60/90 plan to the interview and talk about it.

This doesn't have to be too complicated either, just a rough outline and some basic ideas are enough to help you stand out from the other candidates. Use ChatGPT for help too: "I am interviewing for x role at y company and I want to create a 30/60/90 plan for the interview. They want someone who can do a, b, and c. (Talk about the goals, tasks, and responsibilities of the role. You can also upload the job description.) Can you give me an example of a 30/60/90 plan that would accomplish this?" I'm rooting for you. 👊 ♻ Please repost if you think this advice will help others. ***** Hi, have we met?
