5 Tips to Plan for Your Job Interview In Santa Monica

Are you pumped because you’ve got a job interview in Santa Monica? If you’re on cloud 9 because of a recent offer, you know what to do. Get ready to land the job.

Santa Monica is an ideal location for your next IT job. You’ll have an awesome balance of work and play – because it’s one of the most beautiful spots on earth. But before you start laying down roots, you still need to ace the interview. 

Here are 5 tips to help you prepare.

Grab a Blue Bottle Coffee

Grab a delicious coffee at Blue Bottle’s latest location. The signage is up at 415 Santa Monica Boulevard, the former Jack’s Jeweler’s space. 

This popular coffee chain is well-loved and has a loyal following. If you haven’t tried it yet, check it out. You’ll get the pick of your favorite jet fuel to get you stoked and ready to prepare for your interview.

Investigate The Company

Before you jump into planning your presentation to impress the committee, do a bit of sleuth work. Check out the organization’s website, social media, and press reputation. 

What do you notice about their tone, colors, and media presence? What stands out as their top priority? What are the hallmarks of their brand?

By understanding your target audience, you’ll be a keen insight into how to orient your presentation. For instance, if they are a scrappy start-up, you may want to emphasize creativity, innovation, and speed. If they are a conservative firm, you may want to focus on expense management, security, and risk assessment.

Either way, with your detective work in hand, you can point your presentation in the direction of success.

Speak The Language

In the last year, just about every organization has had a crash course in remote work. More companies are finding the challenges of managing mobile assets, allocating expenses, and optimizing spending are top priorities. 

That’s why it’s crucial to speak the language of the hiring committee. Show them that you understand their concerns and can simplify the complexities of mobile expense management.

By 2025, experts anticipate there will be over 75 billion connected devices. As organizations deal with this evolving landscape, they are seeking expert help. Emphasize your skill in helping them get a handle on managing mobile assets.

Be The Hero

For a lot of professionals, finance is an area that is a mystery. A lot of smart senior leaders would never admit that balance sheets make their eyes gloss over. However, this is an opportunity for you to shine.

You can use your expertise to be the hero that the hiring committee is seeking. Show how you can help the organization make the right financial choices and manage expenses. Help the committee see that you can reduce spending across IT. Emphasize how you can boost transparency of IT investments and expenses.

Speak about specific examples from your personal experience. Share stories that highlight how you have improved efficiencies in previous companies. Show actual examples of ways you managed expenses through digital workflows and automation.

Be the financial hero they wish they’d hired yesterday.

Practice Your Presentation

If you’ve run out of Blue Bottle coffee, you may need some more before you continue. This next step is critical. It’s called practice.

Many professionals ignore this step. It’s silly to think that you can ace an interview without practicing. That’s why you’re going to be smart and reduce the stress of presenting to a live audience.

Focus on 3 crucial elements:

• Practice Timing

Time your presentation to the second. Know how long each section takes so you can add, change, or adjust on the fly.

• Practice Realism

Practice in a realistic setting. If you’ll be sitting in your interview, practice delivering your message sitting. If you’ll be standing, stand. Put on the clothes you will wear. Adjust so to feel comfortable in the climate, culture, and environment.

• Practice Relevance

Organize your message to connect with the top priorities of this organization. 

As IT investments grow, organizations will need to hire experts who can manage expenses and provide transparency. Show the committee you are the best person for the job.
