✅ Approach each interview philosophically
▪️ It's an opportunity to expand your network.
▪️ It's always a +1 to gain new experience and receive feedback.
▪️ It's a chance to land an offer and explore new opportunities.
✅ Don't be afraid to make mistakes
👉 If you don't know the answer to a question: say that you need some time to think about it, and ask for a few minutes.
👉 If you're asked to solve a logical problem: demonstrate your thought process out loud — exploring different solution options is important.
✅ Be honest (like Beckhams 😊)
Yes, this point may seem somewhat controversial. But even the smallest lie can cause a big trouble. Honesty is the foundation of good relationships with your employer. You're not obligated to answer personal questions or discriminatory inquiries. However, when it comes to your skills and experience, it's best to be truthful.
✅ Stay Calm 🧘🏻
It's okay to be nervous, it demonstrates your desire to make a positive impression and your sincerity. Keep in mind that the person interviewing you is human too and is simply interested in getting to know you.
✅ Show interest
An interview is a mutual exchange of information.
Ask questions about the company, the team, tasks, and projects. Clarify which skills and qualities are most important for this role, what the company values in its people. Expand your understanding of the company: find out about its traditions, corporate culture, and so on.
✅ Final arrangements
Clarify when to expect feedback from the recruiter, and, of course, thank them for the conversation and the time they have dedicated to you at the end of the interview.
‼️ And the most important point — PRACTICE before the interview!
Whether you have a week or only a few hours before your next interview. This will provide you with a competitive advantage over the majority of candidates who fall into worry mode before their interview.
