Hey everyone. It's Andy with this week's Tips For work and
life. Today, we're gonna talk about the second job
interview. You know the one. They loved you so much the first time, they
invited you back. We're gonna talk about that. I'm gonna give you three great tips and these
three tips are the exact same tips I gave one of my intervention course students, Hannah. She used them to get the job on her second
interview. Hannah, if you're watching, shout out to you. Hope you're enjoying the new job. For the rest of you, I want you to know the
second interviews are not much different tactically in the techniques that I would use than the
first interviews. All of those other videos I've created on
job interviews tactics, those apply, plus if you haven't seen it, my free webinar, "3
Keys to Ace Any Job Interview," will teach you how to answer and ask questions in a job
interview. I would check all that out. It's great foundational stuff. You want to use all those same tactics, but
in the second round, second job interview, this is about building a deeper connection,
a deeper relationship, building more chemistry with the entire company. It is about getting them to imagine you as
part of the team. What will their life be like? You almost want them feeling as though you're
part of the team, so how do you do that, so let's go into those three tips. Sometimes when you're invited back, you are
speaking with the same people that you spoke with the first time, sometimes not, sometimes
they're new people, sometimes there's a mixture, but use these tactics across, just apply whatever
is appropriate based on who you're speaking with. The first technique that I would use is when
you are speaking with somebody that you have previously spoken to, whether on the phone
or in an interview, what I want you to do is I want you to use a technique I call "ask
again," something that you and they have already talked about. What I want you to do is on the second round,
say to them, "You know, last time we were here, you mentioned," and then just talk about
whatever it was, "and it really stuck with me. I thought more about it and I wanted to talk
a little bit more about that. Could you elaborate on ..." Then insert whatever
additional areas you want to investigate and then start a deeper discussion on something
you've already spoken about. Having more conversation around something
that both of you find very, very important builds a deeper relationship. It's really important to take some of the
areas that you spoke about and drill down. Having that great dialogue is really, really
gonna help you build a relationship with that person, if you have the opportunity to speak
with that person again. That's one tactic. The second tactic is, I want you to make sure
that you are asking new questions. If you are speaking with somebody who you've
already spoken with previously, you want to make sure that you're asking him or her a
new batch of questions, as well. If you're speaking with people you haven't
spoke with, just make sure you have lots and lots of great questions. If you're not sure how are you gonna get those
questions, go to my free webinar that I mentioned earlier, 3 Keys to Ace Any Job Interview. Everybody who attends that webinar gets a
free eBook called "How to Interview the Employer, 75 Great Questions to Ask Before You Take
Any Job." You will never run out of any questions, but
you want to make sure that you have more additional questions because what that shows is you are
well-researched and you are very, very interested in investigating this company further and
that you're doing it in a smart way. The third tip is you want to make sure that
you're being inclusive of other people. By that I mean, you're making sure that you're
referencing conversations you've had with others in the organization. You can even use this in the first round of
interviews. Whether you're speaking with somebody you
previously spoken with, or you're speaking with new people, one the best tactics you
can use is to refer to what you and someone spoke about and then ask for their opinion. For example, "Hey, you know, I talked with
Susie the other day and she mentioned this. I love that, I would love to get your insight
on that and I was wondering if you could elaborate that and how you feel about that." What you want to do then is look at who you're
speaking with. Is this a subordinate of Susie's, is it a
peer, is it a superior, and then just angle the trajectory of your questioning and take
it in the direction of that particular individual. What you're doing is you're showing them that,
not only did you enjoy speaking with with Susie and you found what she said delightful,
but you also want their opinion, so you value their opinion and you're appearing as though
you're a team player. As you start to reference others in the organization
in a sincere way, that will make them already feel like you are part of the team. What that also does is it gives you an opportunity
to make sure that there is a level of consistency across their responses. Are they all on the same page. It's a nice little bonus from that question,
but I really gets them to feel as though you are part of the team when you start to include
other people's names and refer to what it is that you spoke about with them in a positive
light. There you have it. Three little techniques. You want to ask things again, you want to
make sure that you dig in a little deeper. You want to ask more questions to show that
you are very well-researched and you want to be very inclusive of others in the organization
in your dialogue to show that you're a team player and to gather some insight to make
sure that you're getting consistent answers. Hope you enjoyed these tricks. Definitely check out my free webinar, "3 Keys
to Ace Any Job Interview." It'll teach you an awful lot about how to
answer and ask questions in a job interview. If you are watching this anywhere other than
