When job seekers receive the "thank you for your interest" letter, call or email after the interview - the reason may be that the candidate did not fully articulate his or her value proposition. This means, the candidate was lumped in with the "also-rans" and not identified as the "must-have."
One of the best ways to "differentiate" yourself and showcase your value proposition is to come to the interview with a well-researched 100 Day Plan. During the course of the interview, you can demonstrate your knowledge of the organization and its needs by telling the story of how you will approach the role.
Transition Coaching
The elements of preparing a 100 Day Plan that you need to consider are as follows:
Which key stakeholders do you need to meet?
Which key team members do you need to shadow?
What processes, procedures or programs do you need to assess?
Which internal or external clients or customers do you need to meet?
What competitors do you need to research?
What best practices do you need to discuss during the interview?
Putting yourself in the role as part of your preparation makes you think deeply about the organization, the position requirements, competitors, customer service problems, sales/marketing strategies, etc. Regardless of your discipline, by telling your story in the form of a 100 Day Plan, you will portray the qualities and competencies the employer is seeking. This strategy also makes you "own" the role and boosts your confidence.
The next time you interview for a professional or leadership role, remember to develop a 100 Day Plan.
