00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.974
It's important that you stress
your value to the employer;

00:00:03.009 --> 00:00:06.712
how well you discuss this
value may turn into a specific

00:00:06.747 --> 00:00:08.397
dollar amount to the employer.

00:00:08.432 --> 00:00:10.583
Focus on these five factors.

00:00:10.618 --> 00:00:14.392
First, stress your strengths
and accomplishments; don't

00:00:14.427 --> 00:00:16.301
merely state your
responsibilities.

00:00:16.336 --> 00:00:18.879
Second, back up your
statements with

00:00:18.914 --> 00:00:20.240
bottom-line examples.

00:00:20.275 --> 00:00:23.799
Third, focus on the employer
and what you can do for the

00:00:23.834 --> 00:00:26.140
company; don't be
overly self-centered.

00:00:26.175 --> 00:00:29.669
Fourth, listen strategically
for cues that will help your

00:00:29.704 --> 00:00:32.603
case. Be sure to look like a
good listener, as well.

00:00:32.638 --> 00:00:35.769
And finally, actively
participate in the interview.

00:00:35.804 --> 00:00:39.286
Some interviewers are not
experts. Help them out by

00:00:39.321 --> 00:00:42.215
mentioning points that they
do not ask about directly.
