Many people go into interviews believing that the company has all of the power. This simply isn't true! As much as you want to join their team, they have an equal goal of convincing you to want to join them instead of their competitors.
An interview is an opportunity for you to sell yourself (the product) to a company to help reach its goals. In this episode, we change our outlook on interviews from "trying to land the job", to how to use basic selling skills to entice the company to buy your product (YOU and the skills you would bring as an employee).
