You need to tell the interviewer:
1. What you can do for him.
2. Who you are.
3. What you bring to the organization.
4. How you are going to help him achieve his goals.
If your answers to any question do not tie together your previous experience, your past accomplishments coupled with your traits, and simultaneously address his needs, then you have not communicated what’s in it for him.
Tell the interviewer who you are by “coloring” your experience, talent, skill, accomplishments with specific examples of events that illustrate a point you are trying to make.
These following questions will help you formulate very clearly your thoughts and help you respond with a well thought out and developed answer. In an interview situation, you do not have the opportunity to go back and clarify a point. Therefore, preparation is critical for a successful interview.
By writing out your answers----------formulating your thoughts------------and preparing each answer in written form ----- will give you a well thought out and prepared presentation of who you are and what you can do for my organization. The interviewer may not even disclose his questions. Rather, he will look to you for providing him with an overview of what you can do for him and how you can solve his problems.
There are employers/executives that, frankly, do not know how to interview. They expect you to “read their minds” and come to the table prepared to discuss what you can do for them.
Therefore, do not assume because an interviewer/employer does not ask you questions, that he does not have any. On some occasions, you may be faced with an interviewer whose ego gets in the way of appropriately evaluating candidates.
