How should a job seeker adjust their strategy if they’re getting interviews but no offers?

QUESTION: How should a job seeker adjust their strategy if they’re getting interviews but no offers?

Camille Roberts, CC Career Solutions

This is the time to audit/enhance your pre-interview, interview & post-interview strategy. Assess last few interviews. List do/do different. Prepare your references! Find top business pains and convey how you help solve them. Use STCARI Story Method™ with quantified results. Ask questions that showcase your value. Send a compelling job proposal. Get feedback on interview. Adjust/refine strategy.

Alison King, King Career Services

Work with an interview coach to refine your strategy so you can smoothly communicate both your qualifications and your unique value proposition. Also, consider emailing the hiring manager a valuable “leave-behind,” like a work sample or a 30/60/90-day plan based on the conversations you’ve had during the interviews. It’s so important to stand out in the final stage of the process!​
