How to Prepare for a Corporate Board Seat Interview

You’ve been working hard to get an interview for a seat on a corporate board – networking, readying your profile and elevator pitch, informing your professional network of your desire to join the board applying for and getting the desired interview. You should feel proud that you’ve reached this point in your journey to board. However, this interview is just one of the many steps that lie ahead in your journey to securing a board seat.

The interview offers the company a chance to see if you are able to add value to their organization and assist them in achieving their the strategic goals. During the interview, the company may ask questions about your background and experience to assess your leadership abilities. They may also discuss the style of the board and how you will fit in with the existing board members.

You should be ready for your interview by understanding what your unique value proposition is (BVP). You must be aware of what differentiates you from other applicants and how you can add value to the interview. This BVP is what you should keep in mind during the interview. It is also important to be aware about any potential conflicts of interests you may have that might prevent you from being a member of the board of the company. This will enable you to address these issues in a professional manner with the interviewers.
