The structure is similar, and even some of the questions overlap from interviews for lower level positions. What\u2019s expected of you, however, is on another level.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For C-level positions, hiring managers are looking for a leader . . . someone with natural born instincts but also a portfolio of experience showing they\u2019ve managed a team before and can do it again. Vague and passive <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/20-job-interview-red-flags-you-shouldnt-ignore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interview conversation really won\u2019t fly during these senior level executive<\/a> job interviews.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9 Things To Say in an Executive Job Interview<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on for a few tips on what to say during an <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/guide-to-executive-job-interviews-the-how-tos-whys-and-best-practices\/\">executive job interview<\/a> (and how to say it) to showcase what you can bring to the company as a leader.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Say What You Mean<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A good leader is calm and self-assured, so your questions and answers should be clear and concise. Don\u2019t talk around a point or ramble to buy yourself time. It comes off as wishy-washy, and it will appear like you don\u2019t have a sufficient answer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need a second to think about your answer, pause and consider. You can also ask for clarification about an aspect of the question. This buys you time and provides a clearer direction while responding to broad questions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then be crystal clear about your answer. If the interviewer asks about your contributions in your last position, literally answer, <em>\u201cI contributed by\u2026\u201d <\/em>rather than speaking vaguely about your role at the company. You\u2019ll seem more certain, and your interviewer won\u2019t be left trying to decode your answer.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Talk About Company Challenges<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Early on during the interview, ask about the company\u2019s biggest challenge or the most significant challenge of the position. This gives you the rest of the interview to cater your responses so that they address this problem. Knowing early on where the company has room to grow allows you talk about where you would contribute as a leader and problem solver in this specific company.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Integrate Current Events<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Supplement your responses with current events and other recent developments in the industry. Keeping your answer relevant to the question, mention that you just read about a new development or are fascinated by some research that just came out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or if it doesn\u2019t suit the question, feel free to <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/executive-interview-what-questions-do-you-ask\/\"  data-wpil-monitor-id=\"563\">ask your interviewer<\/a> their thoughts on the topic later in the interview. However, you choose to do it, incorporating current events shows that you\u2019re a flexible, curious, and modern leader.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Tell a Story in Your Executive Job Interview<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Always have a few multitasking examples up your sleeve that you could use to address a few different questions. Then, engage your audience with your anecdotes. When you answer a question that requires you to give an example from your past experience or solve a case study, don\u2019t just state the problem and solution. Instead, draw your audience in with a plot line. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>First, set the scene:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What was the job? <\/li><li>Who was there?<\/li><li>What did you do?<\/li><li>What things happened?  <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For the rising action, explain how the obstacle came about in the first place and any attempts to overcome it that initially failed. The climax is that \u201caha\u201d moment where you solved the problem or came to some realization that helped you put everything back in order. Be sure at this part in the story to give credit to anyone who helped you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Then, describe the aftermath: <\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What did you learn?<\/li><li>Were there larger implications for the company or your career?<\/li><li>Why is the situation applicable to the current opening?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Talk As If You Were Hired<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t be arrogant, of course. But do set the scene for you interviewer. Discuss what you would like to do at their company and help them imagine what the company would look like with you in it. By connecting each of your answers back to their company, you can help them see exactly where you fit in and why they need you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Include Metrics of Success<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re interviewing for a c-level position, the expectation is that you can achieve results and foster growth in the company. Show that you can by showing that you\u2019ve done it before. And don\u2019t be vague about it. Support responses with real growth metrics that you\u2019ve accomplished in the past, such as improvements in sales, revenue, leads, or customer loyalty.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7. Explain Your Unique Management Style<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your description of how you manage a team should not sound like it came straight from your college business textbook. Professionals\u2019 management style, like the rest of their work ethic, evolves over time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ideally you should have adapted your methods over the course of your career, based on what has and hasn\u2019t worked, so at least to some extent, it should be a personalized approach. Presenting a vanilla management style will make you blend in with any other candidates, and the interviewer might perceive that you aren\u2019t able to evaluate team progress and adapt accordingly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Talking about how your leadership style has changed over time demonstrates humility and self-awareness . . . both valuable qualities for a <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/15-common-job-interview-questions-and-how-to-best-answer-them\/\">senior level<\/a> position.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8. Ask Where You Stand<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Find clever ways to <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/chriswestfall\/2019\/02\/22\/questions-top-performers-ask-job-interview\/#4f9e0d0642e7\" target=\"_blank\">assess your progress during the interview<\/a>. For most companies and positions, it\u2019s completely acceptable to ask questions throughout the interview. It\u2019s okay after answering a question to ask if your answer was sufficient, how your response compared to other people\u2019s answers, or how successful executives before you have approached the question. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By implementing this technique sparingly and inquiring with a respectful tone, you can foster a more conversational tone for the interview and also get insights about how you\u2019re faring so far as a candidate. Plus, it portrays leadership and curiosity by indicating that you\u2019re there to learn and grow from this interaction. If you frame asking for feedback in a growth-oriented light, they\u2019ll appreciate your genuine interest in professional development rather than perceive it as crossing any lines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>9. Avoid Broad Questions in Your Executive Job Interview<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it finally comes to that part in the interview where you\u2019re expected to ask the questions, impress the hiring manager by asking specific, insightful questions. Instead of asking what the company culture is like, ask how the company is organized, which divisions collaborate and how often, or how the company resolves communication issues.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Breaking out of the passive interviewee role gives you the opportunity to showcase self-assurance and self-awareness while also showing that you are eager to grow and foster growth in their company. If you want to communicate leadership ability, craft dynamic questions and responses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Supplement your interview answers with substantive details. Use numerical growth rates, real names of contributors, and current events to lay a clear picture of what you would look like at the company. Don\u2019t just tell them that you can drive change. Show them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>More About Executive Job Interviews<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/prepare-to-ace-brand-your-c-level-executive-job-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Prepare to Ace &amp; Brand Your C-level Executive Job Interview (opens in a new tab)\">Prepare to Ace &amp; Brand Your C-level Executive Job Interview<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/5-must-dos-to-land-more-executive-job-interviews\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"5 Must-Do\u2019s To Land More Executive Job Interviews (opens in a new tab)\">5 Must-Do\u2019s To Land More Executive Job Interviews<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/how-science-predicts-a-bad-or-good-first-impression-in-an-executive-job-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"How Science Predicts a Bad or Good First Impression in an Executive Job Interview (opens in a new tab)\">How Science Predicts a Bad or Good First Impression in an Executive Job Interview<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"How Artificial Intelligence (AI) Is Used in Executive Job Search (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/how-artificial-intelligence-ai-is-used-in-executive-job-search\/\" target=\"_blank\">How Artificial Intelligence (AI) Is Used in Executive Job Search<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>About the Guest Author<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Chad Warner is a writer who works with <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"CulverCareers (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/culvercareers.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">CulverCareers<\/a>, an award-winning national recruiting agency specializing in sales and marketing.
