One interview stands in the way of you and your dream job.Account <a href="https://twitter.com/ChrisYabsley1/status/1556668285223161862?t=1yhC3Lh3V9UuR5mtRNpF0Q">@ChrisYansley1</a>, an ex-student who interviewed at multiple law firms, shared that this is a familiar feeling.Here's a some stuffs from him on how to smash the interview process and get hired:

Mental Strategy On Job Interview

Firstly, this stuffs does not guarantee interview success.BUT, one mental strategy that really helped me was taking 100% responsibility for the result of my application.By doing this, you can liberate yourself from the belief that you're not in control.

Disclaimer

Once you've gotten to this point, it's time to prepare.First, research, research, research. Do everything in your powers to know the most you can about the business.This way, you'll never run out of things to say in the interview.

Do Your Research

If you're at the interview stage, we can assume you have already done this.However, you can never do "enough" research.Ensure that you are well versed on the company's locations, culture and values, long term objectives and recent news.

You can never do "enough" research

As research is a never-ending process, nothing comes "after" it.However, after thinking about research, it's time think about the interview itself - who is interviewing you?This is critical, as you can tailor your responses to the people asking you questions.

Imagine Some Role Play

If you know your interviewers, look them up on social media.Open LinkedIn and see what they've been liking/commenting on recently. Gain an insight into what they like and what inspires them.This way, you can gain a better understanding into their personality.

LinkedIn Research

With research and interviewer prep complete, it's time to mentally prepare.My best interviews were the ones where I did these three things:1. Treated the interviewers as my friends.2. Carefully listened to every single word they said.3. Was brutally honest.

Three Things To Remember

Treating the interviewers as your friends is crucial.It mitigates the affects of imposter syndrome, relaxes your nerves and allows you to show off your personality.Treating your interviewers as enemies will do the opposite.

Be Friendly

Listening is an underrated superpower.If you can be a good listener, it will show that you care. Listen carefully to the questions and the body language which accompanies them. This will give you the best insight as to how to answer them.

Listening

And finally, honesty is the best policy.In the interviews which I tried to be somebody I'm not, I was unsuccessful. I noticed this quickly.If you stick to answers which are boring and pre-rehearsed, the interviewers will switch off.Don't be afraid of your personality.

Honesty

Thread from @ChrisYabsley1 tells people some very important things about job interview and how to beat it.

In this era of automation, becoming a stand-out human is needed

Had you seen how many automation are running around us? Robots, machine, etc are everywhere, and had you wonder how to keep stand-out in this era of automation?

These practical-5-days is very easy to follow and will bring you some better traits to stay stand-out in this era.

You can find automation everywhere, means robots can do almost everything. Yes they can but not including listen, engage with people or collaborate, and they lack the ability to empathize or inspire. Nowadays, companies not only seek technical skills, but employers are also now clamoring for the capabilities that only humans can bring. As the landscape of work changes, five essential skills – engaging with others, listening deeply, empathizing, collaborating in teams and inspiring people – are becoming both critical and in short supply.

Day 1: Pick two persons that you like to build a connection better; first will be the one that you already have a close relationship and the second is a distant one. Reach, listen and talk with them 10 minutes with each of them.Day 2: Find some resource to learn about extrovert-introvert, find what you are and how to deal with them. Reach 2 persons with different type, engage, and listen to them to see the differences. Some good place to start reading is: <a href="https://www.scienceofpeople.com/ambivert/">What is an Ambivert?

For someone with a growth mind-set, making a mistake or receiving feedback might still feel uncomfortable, but it’s not the end of the world. These individuals regard mistakes and constructive criticism as opportunities to develop and grow

Build a Growth Mind Set

Don’t wait until your company run a training, workshop or sessions. Practical 5 days is very simple to do by yourself. The exercises will require you to take steps outside your comfort zone, and in the process, you’ll see that you really can change your thoughts and build your skills. Keeping a journal of your development will help reinforce your growth mind-set and give you momentum for action.

Stand Out: 5 Key Skills to Advance Your Career

Career choices can feel so complicated because we're multi-faceted. We want challenging, impactful work and deep relationships. We want to feel rich but also sleep, exercise and eat well. We want to experience mastery. These different priorities pull us in many directions. We're even told we can do it all, but we can't. Each of us has only 24 hours a day.

Career choices are hard

Start with the end in mind. As suggested in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, "Begin with the end in mind." What do you want to look back on at the end of your life? The question reveals how a deeper meaning comes from service and how little money matters. But not everyone can live the day-to-day life required for these deathbed accomplishments.

How to prioritise

Instead of starting with the end in mind, we can imagine our desired day-to-day lives now and in five or ten years. <ul><li>Do you travel a lot for work?</li><li>Do you have a flexible schedule?</li><li>Are you known in professional circles or neighbourhood communities?</li><li>Are you at peak health?</li></ul> Impose constraints on the work that you do based on the life you want to live.

Imagine your desire future life

Suppose you know what role work should play in your life, then consider what specific work and in which areas you should do it. Find the intersection of what you're good at, what you love, what the world needs, and what you can get paid for. If you don't know what you love, perhaps you can only find out if you try it on to see if it fits.

What to actually do for work

The future is fundamentally different than it appears. We can't know what we'll like and what not before trying it first. We can find out what we like in two ways: <ul><li>Talk to people. Reach out to people in whatever sector and role you're curious about and ask what it's like.</li><li>Do stuff. Try on the work that you're curious about for a short while.</li></ul>

Experiment to find answers

Career choices are grueling yet sanguine, as you’re scouring opportunities, turning the coin up and down and sideways, calling up friends, or prudently crafting cold emails to potential future…
