- To start the dialogue, relax into interview, put you at ease and ‘break the ice’
- To get to know you in a less formal way, to build rapport and to see if you can connect with interviewers in a human way – can you create ‘rapport’ at an early stage?
- To observe your friendliness and confidence level
- To verify – ‘could we work with this person’? How have they progressed through their career?
- To find other areas & topics to explore with you later and to verify how they relate to the job (from the job requirements perspective)
- To see whether you are prepared and whether you have clarity about yourself. What do you choose to emphasise, how relevant is it to the role?
- Helps panel get to know you quickly or refresh their memory if they have met you already
- To consider if you have a ‘brand’ and how it sits with the interviewers panel
- Ideal maximum 2 – 3 mins input. It’s the first chance to ‘sell yourself’ positively. Be natural and concise.
- Get to work-related input quickly – focus on your profession, experience
- and career progress
- Emphasize your recent experience and key achievements – direct towards competencies required for the job of interest
- Take control by providing ‘relevant hooks’ linked to job requirements as you have prepared on these topics / competencies and you want the panel to probe on them
- Use aspects of your brand statement – finish with your key differentiators relevant to the job
- Optional: Give very short input on personal information at end – e.g. where you are from, your hobby
- Stay calm, be brief, simple, honest – remember to always tailor your message to the specific job
