Interviewing Skills: Positioning Your Qualifications

Interviewing Skills


Cruise to Harmony

This week our topic is “Positioning Your Qualifications: How to put what you’re selling into one clear, concise and powerful message.” This topic on product differentiation and interviewing skills is one of my favorites as well as one of the most important I teach. Some of you are coming close to landing jobs but falling short and you don’t know why. I’ll tell you why if you come to JobSeekers this week.

The apostle Paul was a powerful and persuasive positioner. Paul thought about his audience and leveraged what he had in common with them. The skill of matching your qualifications and accomplishments with the specific needs of the hiring organization is called positioning.

I’ve had clients not only land jobs by using this skill, but completely shut down their competition. One client landed two out of three jobs. Interesting story. I will share this on Friday.

This poster was created a few years ago as part of the activity that accompanies this topic.
