I Learned the Secret to Interviewing and Got 5 Times More Job Offers

Before I learned the secret to interviewing, I was rejected from 25 internships that I applied to during business school.I received just one offer — and it wasn’t very competitive. But it was my only offer. So I took it. And I felt like a complete failure.

How had I interviewed so many times and walked away with only one offer? And how did some of my classmates at Stanford Business School have so many offers — at companies I dreamed of working for? People often think that having a certain degree or company on their résumé will ensure lifelong job search success. Not true. In fact, the way you interview may count for even more. It’s competitive out there, and you must know how to effectively interview to get multiple offers — and ultimately the job you want. Turns out that many of my classmates knew something I didn’t at the time: the secret to interviewing.

I really wanted to know how they did so well in interviews. So I asked a friend who got offers at multiple top firms and startups: What was his secret? He shared this life-changing piece of wisdom: Act like you are interviewing them.
