Let's be honest, folks: who hasn't had trouble with a job interview?

It's nerve-wracking. We go in with expectations, can't sleep properly due to anxiety, and then we completely mess up.

The interviewer asks what 5+5 is, and we respond with "Avocado."

It's normal, everyone goes through it, but there are also many other things we do that aren't always good, and that weighs HEAVILY on the interview.

I made a little list of these things, and I hope that by the end of this video, you feel much more prepared to face an interviewer.

I won't rid you of the anxiety, but I'll give you some tricks that will make a total difference in getting you hired!

Starting with the first trick:

Worry about being the solution for the company

When a company opens a job vacancy, it's because they simply have a problem to solve and need someone to solve it.

But not always does the interviewee show that they are the solution the company is looking for. Many times, the time the person has to ask the interviewer something is spent asking about the job benefits:

"Oh, what's the salary?"
"Oh, will I have meal vouchers? Transportation allowance?"

And it's okay that this may be important to you, but man, first you have to show that you ARE the solution the company is seeking when opening vacancies.

So, come on, let's suppose the company is looking for a professional to handle their social media, and you apply.

These are examples, of course. But the idea is precisely to find those gaps that allow you to show the interviewer that you are what the company is looking for. Without this, it doesn't even make sense for you to ask about benefits, because if a competitor presents themselves as a solution and you don't, you'll hardly end up getting hired.

Energy

The idea is to be natural, of course, but respond with that energy, with some smiles, gesturing a bit, showing that you have energy to spare, you know?

The guy can't think you're a crazy person, but also can't think he's talking to a zombie from The Walking Dead.

If you follow this and go a bit more willing, you'll have a pretty cool differential. And hey, if it's in the morning, it's already an excuse to have that little coffee, hehe.

Prioritize value over effort

And why do I say we have to prioritize value over effort?

Simple. There's a VERY common mistake that always happens when that famous question comes up: "why do you think I should hire you?"

And the mistake is precisely pointing out that he should hire you because you need the job.

"I really need the job, I've been without work for a while, and that's why I will make a lot of effort, work hard for the company..."

Okay, nice. But a lot of effort from someone who doesn't produce value is a lot of effort for no added value to the company, understand?

Hero's Journey

The Hero's Journey is a concept that exists in almost all the movies we have, especially in those that involve superheroes or some kind of protagonist who has to fight some evil.

It's basically a way of telling a story. The protagonist starts with a "call", resists this call because there's some sort of block, finds a mentor to help with that, goes through difficulties, overcomes them, and in the end, everything turns out well.

And maybe you're wondering, "jeez cousin, I want to pass a job interview, not learn how to make a movie."
I know. But this kind of storytelling can help you too.

Because the hero's journey itself makes what you tell interesting, grabs attention, makes the interviewer like your story.

Of course, the idea is not for you to simply make up that your mother has cancer to talk about the difficulties, or anything like that. The idea is that you simply build a story of your experiences, difficulties, and overcoming along the way, and turn it into something cool that the interviewer can hear.

And there's nothing better than doing this based on something that has worked for a long, long time, right?
Study the company's dress code

It might also seem silly, but I'm not talking about you simply dressing formally to show professionalism.

The idea is for you to study how people go to the company and dress similarly. Because, more than appearing professional, it's important that the company itself identifies with you.

So, come on, I have a friend who did this herself. She was going for an interview for a candy company that had everything in a very purple visual.
