Interview Tip: Colour-Coded Post-it Notes
I can't take credit for this idea; it came to me from a client of mine who was preparing for her first international Zoom interview. She was applying for a leadership position and had to speak about three specific responsibilities in her new role. She decided to put down the keywords of her answers on three colour-coded post-it notes and stick them to the frame of her computer, surrounding her screen. She practiced using them with me in a mock-interview beforehand, and I have to say, she made looking at them so natural I didn't even notice.
So the other day, I passed this tip on to another client who was preparing with me for an upcoming interview. She loved the idea (this is her pre-interview photo above)!
Sometimes despite all our preparation, we might feel more confident with a few notes - and what better way than having them posted around the screen, there if we need them.
