Step 2 | Your Experience Briefly

  • Related to the interview: This shows that you have taken the time to do some research about the position and the company.
  • Life changing experience: This shows that you are able to think logically about your life and about business (because you have to make a connection).
• Example:
  • “I have traveled all over the world, but my favorite country is South Korea. During my time there, I learned many things about their culture and language. The main thing I learned was the importance of embracing and respecting other cultures. As a global company, I believe that this is a philosophy you also value.”
    • EMBRACING | “accept or support (a belief, theory, or change) willingly and enthusiastically”

Step 3 | Life Philosophy

• Focus: Your philosophy and how it developed
• 3 Parts [State what it is + how it can help you at this company + connection to your future]
