Job searches and everything they entail can be challenging, time consuming and a bit unnerving at times. The crowning moment and the one you are really after is an in-person interview. Once you get there it’s all on you to demonstrate value, share ideas and “sell” your vision.
Now, once you are seated in front of the search committee it is essential to relate to them, their needs and experiences. In doing so, don’t use acronyms without explaining what they stand for. Generic acronyms such as IT (Information Technology) or HR (Human Resources) are OK, but other, industry specific terminology shouldn’t be used if possible. The reason for this lies in the fact that you will almost always have folks in front of you who have different backgrounds and experiences and you don’t want to lose them and talk down to them. Speak clearly, plainly and save functional jargon for those who really want to hear it and ask you about it. Good luck!
