Preparing for a job interview can feel daunting, especially when it's on platforms like HireVue. In this episode with Hal and Amanda, they offer valuable insights from Operation Military Family on how to truly understand a company before stepping into an interview. It's about more than just knowing what a company does; it's about grasping their "why," "how," and personality, similar to finding a connection in dating.
We begin with exploring the company's website, their online storefront, to decode their mission, values, and culture. The tone, visuals, and language provide clues about their personality. Next, we delve into social media as a research tool, offering a backstage pass into the company's daily life, priorities, and even specific roles of interest.
The episode emphasizes the power of networking, particularly on LinkedIn, to gather inside information you can't find online. Reaching out to fellow veterans or those with shared experiences can yield insights into company culture and leadership styles. Websites like Glassdoor can also provide valuable data points, but with a discerning eye.
Finally, the episode highlights the importance of translating military experiences into transferable skills for the civilian job market. By framing experiences through storytelling, you can effectively showcase teamwork, leadership, resilience, and adaptability. Aligning your skills with the company's needs is key to finding the right fit and making a lasting impression in your next interview.
