Transcript
Of good, whatever you do in rank interview process, do not forget to ask the high performer question. Despite my current garb, I just got back from the gym. I have been in a lot of interviews in a lot of corporate settings, and the high performer question always kills. It's very simple. It sounds like this. You're gonna interview this is you asking the interviewer. You're probably gonna interview a lot of people who can do the job. But in your opinion, what does the high performer look like? And then you just stop talking. You let them tell you exactly what they're looking for in the person that goes above and beyond to execute in this role. They will tell you the qualities of the person. They will tell you the things they do in the day to day, and they will tell you how they would like to see someone go above and beyond. They will literally give you what you're supposed to be on a silver platter. Your job then is to meld your skills, your knowledge, and your attributes to that high performer description and show how you are, in fact, the high performer that they're looking for. Interviewing is just a chess game. If you can get them to tell you what they're looking for, not to say fake your skill sets, but for well, that yeah. Don't fake it, but definitely show how you are the fit for the high performer. It isn't easy, but it is simple. Don't over complicate it.
