Interview Impact — How to Make a Memorable First Impression in Interviews

Interviews aren’t just about competence — they’re about connection. Most candidates focus on saying the right things, but memorable ones show who they are through presence, energy, and authenticity.

Preparation Beyond Questions

Don’t just rehearse answers — rehearse your story.

• Why this role?

• Why this organisation?

• Why you, now?

Career Velocity Tip: Confidence grows from clarity, not charisma.

Show Impact, Not Ego

Frame achievements as outcomes that benefited others.

“I improved reporting accuracy by 40%, helping leadership make faster decisions.”

That’s impact, not inflation.

Closing Strong

End every interview with purpose:

“Thank you — I’m genuinely excited about the value I can bring here.”
