Can You Keep Positive Energy in an Interview?

When I sit down for the first time with a client, I’m often struck with how someone might view his or her work history. It’s not uncommon for folks to focus on the pain or frustration of their previous situation. For me, paying attention to turning these kinds of thoughts around is probably one of the most rewarding things about working with a job seeker. Negativity can be pervasive, and although we want to acknowledge the tough road they have just traveled, it’s critical that we get them smiling genuinely, from the heart, about who they are and what they have to offer a potential client as soon as possible. I can assure you there is very little that will disqualify someone in an interview quicker than what is perceived as a negative tone. No one wants to hire someone who might be a drag on the energy of the company.

Here’s a tip I share, when asked to talk about your past work history I encourage people to talk about what I call their “Love Tos” and start the statement with something like, I just love ...

Here’s an example of what I mean.

“I just love to see my team hitting their mark. I feel like a proud parent, everyone understanding their roles and reaching the objectives of the company. I really enjoy being able to lead a department where everyone believes in what we are doing.” This is a dynamic way to say, “I have good management skills.” When you start a statement with, “I just love …” your genuine passions are engaged, your energy is egnited.

I’m so glad we are able to "rethink" the past. There is always some great stuff in our history. We just need to dust it off sometimes and look at with fresh eyes.

Take Care and …
"Keep it Passionate"
