Interesting. I’ve heard to keep “tell me about yourself” relevant to the position. And that as a woman talking about your family might hurt you more than help.
Yes! I’ve heard this “advice” many times, too! But in my opinion, and as a previous senior manager in the oil and gas industry, what I bring with me through the front doors is my family. I ask that a company I spend more time away from my family with respects and shares the same values as me, otherwise they are not the right company for me and I am not a good fit for them. It is a new take on the question, but definitely an interesting one! Hope this helps and wishing you all the best in your job search!
I have been invited by a company for a Demo Day, where I will meet the team (along with 2 other candidates) for a junior position, do you have any advice on what I should focus on considering that they will see other candidates too?
Great question! I highly recommend asking intentional questions about how your skills will bring success to THEM. It’s so easy for us to talk about our own success and how it has benefited our own career - but the more you can plant the imagery in their mind of how your specific résumé will make them successful, the more likely you are to beat out other candidates. Use the word “you” instead of “I” as much as possible. If you’re interested in the role and want the job, ask for it at the end! (I highly recommend the $27 interview playbook training above to help you beat your competition very quickly and easily!)
Hi there! This is a great sign and it’s also standard for the process. As they review qualified candidates for the role, they will need to pass along everything to the HR department for review. If you haven’t already, I would highly recommend sending an outreach check-in email to see what the status of your interview is and what the next steps are moving forward! Congrats on your interview!
When you touch your hair while talking it indicates a mistake you made ( with the word honest, twice). Was the intent to highlight what you wanted to knit-pick? Pinpointing 1 thing across 10 years of experience notated on a resume. You are in a winning position. You knit-picked someone that is in a losing position. Leaders don’t do that.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I truly appreciate you taking the time to watch the video and share your perspective. My goal is always to provide helpful insights that empower job seekers to put their best foot forward, and I value the opportunity to engage in these conversations. I understand your point about the importance of being constructive and uplifting, and I’ll keep that in mind as I continue creating content to support others. Feedback like yours helps me grow and better serve the community I care so deeply about. Thank you again for your input-I’m wishing you all the best!
Thank you for the tips. Very helpful and helped me to boost up my confidence for the next interview.
Nice tips! I'm a developer and the market is really difficult these days, your tips will certainly help!
