You should know your "assessments." Here are a few to consider:
- 16 Personalities
- Myers-Briggs ( for this one, you'll probably need to find someone certified in their assessment to take it and get the results)
- StrengthsFinder 2.0 (book with assessment) or StrengthsFinder 34 Assessment from Gallup
- Deloitte Business Chemistry (you might need to purchase their book if you want more detail than the PDF they offer on this page).

Last week we focused on making a good first impression. This week, we're focused on your last impression.
If you want to stand out and confidently ask questions that lead to a great conversation with the hiring manager, you need to transform your entire approach to asking questions at the end of your interview.

Don’t waste this time - it’s your golden opportunity to show the hiring manager they want to work with you. Show them the real you through engaging conversation rather than by asking questions everyone else asks.
Use the S.H.O.W. Method(TM) to make this happen.
I dive into these four steps in today's episode. For more details, check out Equipped Interview and several free interview resources, like worksheets and cheat sheets!
