Interviews may have a formal Q&A style, or a more casual conversational tone. No matter what the style of interview is, you can make sure you stay on track in your mind if you give the interview a three-act structure.
Act I:
Who are you, and why are you the perfect candidate at this perfect moment for this job?
This is your elevator pitch! Your artful answer to why you for this job, right now!
Act II:
What experience and skills do you have that make you a standout?
Have at least three good examples of skills or experience that make you a unique standout for this job that you can talk about or work into responses.
Act III:
What questions do you have for the interviewer?
Almost every interview concludes with some form of “Do you have any questions for me?”. Have a few questions ready to ask that demonstrate you are curious, intelligent, and thoughtful.
