How I prepare for a Board Interview | Ep. 97

In this episode, I dive deep into my preparation for a Board interview that landed me a coveted spot on the Stroke Foundation Board. From extensive research and note-taking to crafting a compelling story, I share my step-by-step process for securing Boardroom success. Here are the highlights: Preparation is Key: Conduct thorough research on the organisation, its Board members, and the specific role you're applying for. Create a detailed preparation pack, including notes on selection criteria, questions to ask, and relevant information. Use resources like the organisation's website, annual reports, and social media to gather information.   Tailor Your Application: Align your resume and cover letter with the specific requirements outlined in the candidate information pack. Highlight your relevant experiences and skills, emphasizing how they align with the organisation's goals. Use the language from the candidate information pack to demonstrate your understanding of the organisation.   Interview Tips: Prepare for a variety of questions, including those related to your experience, skills, and understanding of the organisation. Practice your answers and be prepared to provide specific examples. Be confident and articulate your value proposition. Ask thoughtful questions to demonstrate your interest and engagement.   Additional Tips: Consider the questions the panel members might ask and prepare accordingly. Be prepared to share information about yourself beyond your professional experience. Rely on your existing knowledge and experiences to guide your responses.
