5 Deadly Sins To Avoid During Executive Interviews.
And what to do instead.
-
Relying On Memorised Answers
While canned responses may work for junior roles, executives are expected to think and respond strategically. Memorising soundbites and talking points is fine, but resist the temptation to prepare an arsenal of 100% canned responses to "common" interview questions.
-
Overemphasising Technical Skills
At the executive level, your technical skills matter far less than your ability to communicate, persuade, and influence. Your resume already confirms your technical expertise. Use the interview to demonstrate how you'll shape the organisation's future and drive results.
-
Repeating Your Resume Achievements
Listing past achievements can create objections like, "that worked there, but will it work here?". Instead of listing achievements, focus on sharing your thought process and principles behind them. This signals your ability to deliver results in any environment.
-
Asking Generic Questions About Success
Never ask the interviewer, "what does it take to succeed in this role?". This signals a lack of preparation. Ask questions that demonstrate your business acumen and the context you have for the company's challenges and ambitions. Think "sounding board" rather than "request for information".
-
Giving A Step-By-Step Play-By-Play
Many executives respond by walking through every step of what they did: "First, I did this. Then, I did that. After that, I did this." This approach doesn't create a strong impression. At the executive level, you’re expected to think strategically, not just execute tasks.
