Stories are powerful tools for interviewing. They convey information while allowing the teller to be authentic and hopefully the interviewer to be engaged. Recently Michael Lynch, Marketing and Sales Process Expert, posted in a re-employment group on LinkedIn reasons to become a storyteller. With his permission they are below.

3. You are giving your network info that can open doors for you.
