I think that by telling a story leaves an impression with others. So, in a job interview, it’s a great way to leave the listeners with a lasting impression. Could be the difference between scoring the position and just moving on to the next interview.

I remember travelling with my CEO. We were in the helicopter he owned. On the way back to the factory, he left me at the airport, giving the keys of his new, expensive jeep to me (at this time, jeeps were not as usual as nowadays) : I had to drive the jeep back to the factory. I was proud because it meant he was confident, and frankly, I was already thinking I derserved such confidence.
It was fine, until I saw the shadow of the helicopter on the road during that sunny afternoon : he was following me in order to see if I was doing something wrong with his car ! It was stunning ! I began to wonder if the guy was as smart and faithful as I was thinking. I left the company a couple of months later, when I had the answer…
Little things can have big impact.

I introduced myself to the CEO of the company at a networking event in a bar. When he responded saying “tell me about yourself” I was able to tell him about a project I was working on and explain why I was interested in his industry. The reflection I had done before the event paid off and before I knew it he’d dragged me across the room and introduced me to the head of HR.
