  • And that is, POWER WORDS for interviews.

  • So, please do stick around if you've got any kind of interview coming up, because I strongly

  • believe this tutorial is going to make a big difference to your preparation.

  • Now, one of the questions that I get asked all of the time on this channel is, Richard,

  • what's the best way to make sure I pass my interview?

  • Well, I'm going to disclose that.

  • I'm going to give you some really POWERFUL POWER WORDS during this tutorial, so please

  • do stick around.

  • Now, before I give you those, a very warm welcome to this interview training tutorial.

  • My name is Richard McMunn.

  • also very much appreciate it if you supported my channel by giving the video a LIKE.

  • Thank you very much indeed.

  • So, what are thesePOWER WORDSthat I am talking about?

  • Well, essentially, power words will put you ahead of the competition.

  • The other competitors, the other people at the interview won't.

  • Using these POWER WORDS will increase your chances of passing the interview significantly!

  • So, “power wordsare essentially strong key words, phrases and sentences that will

  • resonate positively with the interview panel.

  • OK.

  • That's the important thing, they will resonate positively.

  • You are essentially using certain powerful words, keywords and phrases that the interviewer

  • will want to hear.

  • Number two: things you say that show the interviewer you will be a GREAT MATCH for the role.

  • So some power words are things that you will say that show the interviewer you will be

  • a great match for the role.

  • And finally, power words are effectivelySTATEMENTS OF INTENTthat give the interviewer the

  • reassurance that you are going to do a great job for them.

  • OK.

  • So those are the three things that power words are.

  • Here are my Top Ten Power Words and Phrases.

  • My advice is to pause each one of them and write them down, and then use them during

  • your interview when you are answering the interview questions.

  • So, here we go.

  • Number 1: “I want this job, because having read the job description, the skills and qualities

  • I possess are a perfect match for the role.”

  • So let me repeat that.

  • “I want this job because having read the job description, the skills and qualities

  • I possess are a perfect match for the role.”

  • You can use that if they say to you: Why do you want this job?

  • That shows that you've read the job description, which is important, and you are able to align

  • your own skills and qualities to the role that they have advertised.

  • Number 2: “My strong values and work ethics mean I will always work to an exceptionally

  • high standard.”

  • Let me repeat that.

  • My strong values and work ethics mean I will always work to an exceptionally high

  • standard.”

  • Now, you can use that when they say to you - Why should we give you the job over the

  • other candidates?

  • If you said that to me, that would be a win!

  • You should give the job to me because my strong values work ethics mean I will always work

  • to an exceptionally high standard.

  • It’s short, it’s positive and it's punchy!

  • Number 3: “Your organization appeals to me for a number of reasons.

  • You have both a strong reputation within the industry and your current and former employees

  • all speak highly of you.”

  • You could use that if they say to you - Why have you chosen our company to work for?

  • So these are all short, punchy and powerful, and they will make you stand out from the

  • other applicants.

  • Number 4: Let's get straight into it.

  • Don't forget, you can pause the video and take note of these, and please don't get SUBSCRIBE

  • and hit that LIKE button.

  • Thank you very much.

  • Number 4: “I am someone who continually strives to improve and I will always take

  • responsibility for my own personal and professional development.”

  • Now, a little secret.

  • All employers want to take on people that will continually improve and develop.

  • We don't want to take on people who will just sit back and do the same thing day in, day

  • out.

  • I want to take someone on who will improve and also take that take responsibility for

  • their own personal and professional development.

  • That's a great thing to say!

  • “I am someone who continually strives to improve and I will always take responsibility

  • for my own personal and professional development.”

  • Great thing to say.

  • Number 5: “Whilst working as part of a team, I always focus on achieving the team's objectives

  • and I will work hard on producing positive results for my employer.”

  • So, if you get asked any questions based aroundteam working’, which you will, you can

  • say: “Well, whilst working as part of a team, I always focus on achieving the team's

  • objectives and I will work hard on producing positive results for you, my employer.”

  • Number 6: “The only way a company such as yours will thrive in this tough environment,

  • is if employees like me perform to a very high standard.”

  • That is a high-level intelligent employee, somebody who knows that the only way the organization

  • that they're working for will succeed, is if they work really hard.

  • Let me repeat that.

  • The only way a company such as yours will thrive in this tough environment, is if employees

  • like me perform to a very high standard.”

  • That's a great thing to say during your interview!

  • Number 7: “I am applying for this position for two reasons.

  • The first reason is that the job description is a perfect match my skills, qualities and

  • attributes, and the second reason is, you are an exciting and innovative company to

  • work for.”

  • So again, that's a different one that you can use if they say, you know, why should

  • we hire you or why do you want this particular job?

  • Number 8: “I have a flexible approach to work and I will always be available to work

  • additional hours and shifts if needed.”

  • Now, this is a great thing to say.

  • It's great because the vast majority of employers want people to be available to work extra

  • hours, if need be.

  • Okay.

  • Now, some jobs don't require this, but if you say, you know, I've got a flexible approach

  • to my work and if you need me to stay beyond work extra hours, I will be there.

  • So that shows that you are a supportive employee and you are prepared to stay behind.

  • Number 9: “Although this is my first job interview, I feel my passion, my drive for

  • success overcomes my lack of work experience.”

  • This is great for anybody who doesn't have much experience at work or within the role

  • that they're applying for.

  • Although this is my first job interview, I feel my passion on my drive for success

  • overcomes my lack of work experience.”

  • And how you say it is really important.

  • So, you notice that I talk quite positively when I put in these across, and that's how

  • I recommend you do it, too.

  • Number 10: “I want to finish off by saying thank you for giving me the opportunity to

  • be interviewed for this position.

  • If you hire me, I will not let you down.”

  • That's a great thing to say at the end of the interview.

  • Once you've finished, and they say have you got any questions, you ask a couple of questions

  • and then say

  • Can I just finish off by saying thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to

  • be interviewed for this position, and if you hire me, I promise you I will not let you

  • down.”

  • That’s a powerful, punchy thing to say right at the end of the interview, before you walk

  • out.
