Interviews can provide you with an outstanding opportunity to demonstrate your leadership skills. If you are interviewed, try to do the following:
Don't just passively answer the questions fired at you. Have a game plan—write down three or four key points you want to make. Leaders recognize when they need to redirect a conversation to showcase their strengths and ensure that their agenda gets met.
Be able to tell them quickly and succinctly, what you did, how you did it, who else you involved and why you did it. Pay attention to managing the time well. The detail you can provide in a onehour interview won't fit into a 30-minute slot.
Many people participate in solid extracurricular activities while they are in a structured school setting, but let their activities trail off as they move to the more complex environment of the working world. Have you sustained an appropriate level of leadership and community service?
(eye contact, an enthusiastic voice, a relaxed but attentive posture). Know how to listen as well as to talk.
Master the art of pre-interview chitchat so that it comes comfortably and naturally.
There are many ways to demonstrate leadership. Consider examples of leadership that you may be missing—especially where your leadership wasn't necessarily public or visible. Ask yourself: "Where have I made an impact?" Acknowledge the role of a team (very few operations are solo enterprises), but do highlight your leadership role. Talk about how you energized and managed the team of people who helped.
Making a mountain out of a molehill will instantly destroy your credibility. Distinguish between cases in which you actually took initiative and those in which you actively supported someone else.
