Career changers should say this in interviews.
One of our clients, Diane, was asked the question:
“Why are you changing careers to this one?”
She eliminated his hesitation of hiring someone with an unconventional background by saying:
🍊“ I took a look at your LinkedIn profile and I saw that you have made several career transitions. And I thought, ‘I want a dynamic career like him.’"
Now the interviewer isn’t questioning her career path. He’s seeing himself in it.
He can’t argue her logic...because her story mirrors his.
And as a bonus, it showed she did her research on him.
You’re not just answering questions, you’re building a connection.
And can help turn interviews into offers.
PS: If you want a personalized report to help you land more job offers, I created a job search quiz to help you on your way: madelinemann.com/quiz
