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!
