Now that I'm back at work,
Did we have a talking point sheet going in?
9 points to talk about.
First 3 important items that can be said in under a minute.
Then the next three if you have time to work them in, then the next 3. Each point can be used to answer a question and or worked into each other if you have a chance.
Ever question or comment should be concluded with a sound bite or point your want to get across. You want to wrap up the conversation.
You always hope to make every point but more than likely never will get past three.
never let them define you or your message or the point you want to get across, you will never persuade the interviewer to your position, never , ever. You as using the interview to get a few points out to the listeners. The interviewer has his mind made up completely all ready and has his talking points and message ready to go. You are never taken on one person he has a army of people prepping him and even speaking in their ear. you don't have that so stay with your talking points.
Be able to work you talking points into every conversation and be able to present the message in three different ways.
They will cut you off, ask them nicely to not do that, call them rude and stop the conversation if they persist. They do not want to complete or to make your point. If it is that bad , walk away. labeling them as a rude interviewer.
Three points is all you want to get across, you go with more ammo than you need.
