SHOW YOUR WORK.

Lots of our college graduate clients (even those with good work experience) can have difficulty expressing themselves verbally. Guess what that is unfortunate for? THE INTERVIEW. In the dreaded interview, you are expected to answer open-ended questions, tell your “story”, remember all of your schooling and work experience, and have it roll off your tongue in an eloquent manner…..that is hard for anyone. It is extremely hard for someone with elevated levels of anxiety.

Well, not everyone has the capability to blow a hiring manager away with their exquisite vernacular. If you have a talent and you know your worth, SHOW YOUR WORK.

Proactively keep examples of all work you may have completed in school, in college, on an internship, during your time getting a certificate, etc. This can be on a thumb drive, on a simple portfolio link you share with the potential employer, or even in a manila folder. You can keep examples of the work you have completed, on hand.

Have tangible “work” to show, and SHOW YOUR WORK. You’ll be surprised how this helps in certain Hiring Managers’ decisions.

Differentiate yourself from other applicants and interviewees. Bring your examples to the interview, even leave it, and have them review it.

SHOW YOUR WORK.
