I was looking to see if something I put on my Facebook
business page showed up on Twitter and I got distracted by the trending information.
Along with Frank Kaminsky’s new baby, a Canadian hockey player named Drew Doughty
and NASCAR there was something called #10factsaboutme. There among the random
facts about people (“I sweat when I meet new people” or “I’m in love with
someone who doesn’t know that I exist” or “I have three dogs and a pet mouse”)
I thought of something….. What are 10 positive facts that you could share on
an interview?
Think about it.
What are your strengths? Are you
a good communicator, a motivational speaker, an impressive problem solver, an
outstanding mathematician, a grammar whiz, a great friend, a creative problem
solver, a remarkable team player, an outstanding leader or skillful organizer?
Why? What specific examples do you have to support these?
Just listing 10 facts about yourself will remind you of
your notable strengths and then, coming up with examples of why these are your strengths will help
you on your next interview. These facts are real and make a
lot more sense than, “I hate people”. By the way, never say, "I hate people" in an interview. Someone once asked me if that was an OK thing to say in an interview. She wasn't kidding.
