In today’s episode, Jody and Meghan share tips on preparing for an executive-level interview. The higher the position within the company you are interviewing for, the greater the intensity and depth of the interview process will be. It is important to give a good first impression and answer questions in a professional manner.

A few takeaways from the podcast:

• Practice interviewing with another person ahead of time.
• Keep your answers honest, but not rehearsed.
• Innovation sets leaders apart.
• Never underestimate the power of a good, firm handshake.
• Thank each interviewer for their time.
• Dress for the position you want.

In the interview process, we are hiring the person and the potential that we believe they exhibit. Subtle formalities, body language, and professionalism will make a huge difference in the way that an interviewer will view your potential. Be intentional about each step of the interview process, and be sure to prepare ahead of time.

Executive-level interviews often seek to know these 3 main things:

1. What your style of leadership will be
2. What your plan for leading will be
3. What your legacy will be

Thanks for tuning in, and please feel free to drop any leadership or management topic suggestions in the comments. Become the kind of leader you would follow!
