❗ Do you struggle to prepare questions for interviews? Take a look at these great examples.

Are you asking good interview questions? If not, you're missing a trick...         The questions you ask are a vital part of any interview. They are an opportunity to establish whether the role is right for you. They can also be used to demonstrate engagement and interest in the position.   Some questions are obvious; Who does the role report to? What is the salary banding? What will my day-to-day look like?   If you spend time preparing some more engaging, thoughtful questions, you will learn more and stand out from the other applicants.   Think about the following when preparing questions for an interview:   📑 Research your interviewer so you can ask them a personal question - Have they written an article online? Have they appeared in a podcast? You might then be able to ask them a question which will be much more insightful than 'Why did you join this company?'. People are also flattered if you've researched them, it can't hurt.   💡 Ask questions that will help you showcase your skill set in the next round, e.g. What is the number 1 factor that makes an employee successful at your company?   🔍 Use your questions to show that you've researched the company. Link a question to some specific information you've found online, e.g. I read an article regarding X topic, I was wondering if you could shed some more light on this for me? 

🔥Interview Prepping with Podcasts🔥 Using podcasts as a research tool for job interviews is could be a really effective way to add to your interview prep. Here’s why: 1️⃣ CEO Insights: Podcasts offer valuable insights into a CEO's vision, leadership style, and the company's culture. Listening to their interviews or talks can give you a clear understanding of what they value most. 2️⃣ Market Knowledge: Podcasts often shed light on a company's market differentiators and its approach to market strategies. This information helps you grasp the company's competitive edge and gives you an idea on what to hammer down on in your prep. 3️⃣ Crafting Informed Questions: With insights from podcasts, you can formulate well-thought out questions during the interview. Shows you’re prepared and you put in some effort. I’m no Joel Lalgee, Amy Miller, Jonaed Iqbal on TikTok but we have a good time there.

Here are 5 tips I would recommend to anyone who is conducting an interview: ▶ send a personal video - two days before the actual interview, send a video letting them know how excited you are about speaking with them ▶ location tip – send an ‘interview tip’ email that suggests they choose a place that is comfortable, quiet, and controlled. ▶ play favorite song – on the pre-interview form, ask what their favorite song is. Then, when they log in for the interview, have their fav song playing. I do this for my guests and it puts a smile on their face every time. 🎵 ▶ give a compliment –giving a compliment makes other people feel good and makes them want to be around you. (assuming it’s not a creepy compliment). Sometimes I will try and start the conversation in the guest’s native language since the startup founders I interview are all European. 😊 ▶ don’t be heavily informational – when people try and do content, the want to focus on educating people. But the truth is, many people will tune in to a #podcast because they feel like they are hanging out with the host and the guests. In a nutshell: ↳ send a personal video before ↳ send interview tip ↳ have their favorite song playing when they log in ↳ give a compliment ↳ don't be too informational What tips would you suggest for anyone who is conducting an #interview? ----------- Like this?

Job interviews often spike our anxiety more than other public speaking events. Why is this the case? A UK survey shows 32% feel the most nervous in an interview, worried about forgetting words and facing intense scrutiny. Interestingly, 63% of Gen Z would avoid public speaking if possible. Yet many are seeking help, with 1,300 UK monthly Google searches for public speaking courses. Embrace being 'scared but ready'—fear isn't a barrier, it's a growth stepping stone.

3 (non-technical) interview tips for a technical interview. ... .. . 1️⃣ Don’t think about questions.

Interviewology. The art and science of interviewing. IMO- the new age approach to success and sustainability in career building. Another brilliant interview that’s helped me change my thought processes, beliefs and way of interviewing. Let’s be real, going through the process can feel intimidating, but there ways to embrace your gifts, your talents and communicate them effectively without feeling like “you need to give them the answer they want” It’s about being yourself, understanding the different types of interview styles and showing up to be the best version of you. Whether you’re being interviewed OR you are the one interviewing, definitely worth a listen! I downloaded the audiobook that goes into more depth and is a great read or listen. I’ll be sharing a couple more growth mindset podcasts over the coming days. https://lnkd.in/gM5Gg2ke
