Success in interviewing requires a two-pronged approach. You must address the mechanics and mindset—the visible and invisible elements— of interviewing. Many job seekers focus only on the mechanics of interviewing—what’s the “right” answer to this or that question, how do I follow up after the interview, how do I negotiate salary, and so on. Although these “mechanical” elements are important, they are only half of what you need. It’s like trying to walk on one leg—a distinct disadvantage. When you incorporate both the mechanics and the mindset into your interview strategy, you set the stage for significant success—you will be able to run, not walk, to your next career.
