Conclusion

• 00:04 I hope this course has given you some helpful tips and a way of really
• 00:08 planning on how you conduct job interviews for your organization.
• 00:13 I do want to leave you with a few final thoughts though.
• 00:17 This is, and it sounds silly to say, but at some level, this is a bit of an honour.
• 00:21 You are the person in your organization selected to represent
• 00:25 the entire organization to the outside world.
• 00:29 It's also a responsibility because if you come across as obnoxious,
• 00:34 arrogant, snotty, that can really harm your organization's reputation.
• 00:40 However, if you come across as interesting, likeable,
• 00:44 enthusiastic and passionate about your organisation.
• 00:47 That can travel to ,that can help build the brand of your organisation and
• 00:52 it can build your own personal brand.
• 00:55 So I'm glad you've taken this seriously enough to go through a course like
• 00:58 this because most people don't.
• 01:01 Most people say I gotta do job interviews.
• 01:02 Okay, let me look at the resume.
• 01:04 Tell me about yourself, blah, blah, blah, did you graduate and
• 01:08 they're not really adding much value to the process.
• 01:13 They're certainly not helping to advance the brand of the organization.
• 01:18 They're not making people feel better about it.
• 01:20 So, I commend you for taking the time to try to figure out how to do this.
• 01:26 I also hope that you're just more comfortable with the process.
• 01:30 I suspect by even signing up for a class like this,
• 01:33 you weren't completely comfortable with the idea of talking
• 01:37 to strangers about their entire careers and lives.
• 01:41 That just makes you normal.
• 01:42 It is a little bit of an uncomfortable situation for most people.
• 01:47 Now I've given you a lot of specific tips and tricks and tools in this course.
• 01:53 You can ignore most of them.
• 01:54 You can ignore all of them but one,
• 01:57 the one tip I absolutely have to insist on you following.
• 02:01 Is practice on video, practice how you want to talk about your company.
• 02:06 Practice your first handful of questions and get comfortable with that.
• 02:12 Watch it, critique it, figure out what works.
• 02:17 Do more and more of it.
• 02:18 That's so much better than practicing in front of a mirror.
• 02:22 Or not practicing at all and just head down reading questions or
• 02:27 reading a resume.
• 02:29 That's the worst of all possible worlds to do in a job interview.
• 02:35 Let's not lose sight of the fundamental goal.
• 02:37 The goal is to figure out who is the best applicant for your company so
• 02:41 you can give that person a job offer.
• 02:44 The goal is also to impress that person because the very
• 02:48 best people have a lot of different job options these days.
• 02:53 So it's a two way street, never forget that.
• 02:56 And of course the goal is for you to come across confident, comfortable, relaxed and
• 03:02 to really communicate the essence of what your organization is about.
• 03:06 Those are the three goals we set out to accomplish at the beginning of this
• 03:11 course.
• 03:12 And if you follow the exercises I think you'll have a much better sense of how
• 03:16 to accomplish it.
• 03:18 So thank you so much for joining me,
• 03:20 I wish you luck with all of your future job interviews.
• 03:23 I'm TJ Walker, thanks for watching.
