What really goes on in interviews? In this episode, Michael explains why you should take interview feedback with a grain of salt and why you shouldn't expect interviewers to do their jobs very well. We drill down into the specifics of "competency-based interviewing," which sounds pedestrian and a little dull but is essential to showing your real value and wowing your audience. Michael also gives some tips about what to do if you are lacking what appears to be a key job requirement (such as "MBA preferred" or "10 years of sector experience required"). We take a trip down memory lane and discover why being the most interesting and charming candidate of the day doesn't mean you'll get the job – and clarify what to aim for instead.
