Nervous about an upcoming interview? Are you processing way too much advice about how you should talk about yourself in an interview. This hack will simplify the interview and give you more success. Sales people know that talking about the product first is the wrong way to close any deal. You need to shift from thinking about talking to thinking about getting the answers from the interviewer. David Sandler, one of the all time greatest sales coaches, has a great phrase for talking too much about your product in an interview. He calls it "spilling your candy in the lobby." Use these questions to get the interviewer to tell you what they want to hire before you tell them what you have to "sell."  • When it comes to compatibility with you and the team, what attributes are you looking for?  • If you had a magic wand, what accomplishments or value would the person in this role have delivered in the next year?  • I understand this team is in motion and moving fast, what are your expectations on the amount of time a new hire has to reach the expected contribution level? Now you know the type of person they want, the performance they expect, and the proficiency required. The focus moves from you talking about you to you talking about them. That will be both easier and more successful. ----- Follow QDStaff for top-notch advice, exclusive roles, and the best game industry opportunities.
