Job interview techniques:
Present a concrete example: Saying you have a skill is not nearly as powerful as describing a situation in which you used it. Quantify: Whenever possible, use numbers to
provide the basis for what you did. For example, give the percent you exceeded quotas, dollar amounts you were responsible for, and number of new accounts generated. 3. Emphasize Results: Providing data regarding the positive results
achieved is important. For example, sales increased 3% over the previous quarter or profits were up 50% fro the previous year. 4. Link it up: Although your connection between your example and doing the job well is clear to you, make sure its’ clear
