Job interviews can be nerve-wracking for many people. You're in the spotlight, and it’s important to provide responses that are compelling and convincing. To do so, steer clear of vague answers to the questions your interviewer poses.
For instance, saying “I’m proficient in SEO” lacks clarity. Your interviewer may wonder how this skill will benefit the role or what exactly “proficient” means to you. However, if you state that you used SEO to increase website traffic by 100%, it’s a concrete achievement they can easily understand and assess.
U.S. News & World Report elaborates further:
Interviewers seek to understand your past accomplishments and how you function in a professional setting. If your answers are too vague, it becomes difficult for them to determine whether you’re the ideal candidate for the position.
When preparing for your interview, it’s helpful to have a few concrete examples ready for any potential questions you anticipate. For additional tips on interviewing, be sure to check out the full post below.
