One interviewing technique I teach my clients is to approach the hiring process as if you were a consultant. If you wanted a company to hire you to solve specific problems or increase the effectiveness of their business, what type of questions would you ask the decision makers? How would you listen differently to the hiring managers' descriptions of their needs? Would you be more active in determining their pain points - those specific challenges they are looking to immediately address, as well as in the long term?
If you do this, then the process of selling yourself and your core strengths during an interview becomes more relevant to them and what they need - and you do this by giving them examples of how you have solved those problems in the past.
Once you have established yourself as an expert, like a consultant, you then become an investment, and not just another job candidate.
