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, creating your profile and elevator pitch, advising your professional network of your desire to join the board and finally securing that sought-after interview. You should be proud that you’ve made it to this point in your journey to board. The interview is just one of the many steps you’ll need to take on your journey to a board seat.

The interview is an opportunity for the company to assess whether you can add value to their company and help to achieve their strategic goals. In the course of the interview, the company will ask you questions about your experiences and background to determine your leadership capabilities. They might also talk about the culture of their board and how you will integrate with the existing board members.

You should be ready for your interview by knowing what your unique value proposition (BVP). You should know what sets you apart from other candidates and how this will benefit your board. This BVP is something you must be aware of during the interview. Be aware of any conflicts of interest you might have that could hinder your ability to become an official member of the board. This information will help you address the interviewers’ concerns in a more informed way.
