Interview Strategy Worksheet

Put yourself in the mindset of your interviewer, who is interested in the
actions you have taken in the past that led to success: increased sales,
controlled expenses, reduced employee turnover, KPI improvement, etc.
Remember- most people believe that past behavior is the best indicator of
future success. By answering these questions, you will be better prepared to
portray yourself as a results-oriented leader and a good investment for the
company you are interviewing with.
