Congratulations, you got an interview! As my holiday gift, please accept these tips I send to my interviewing candidates. These are drawn from personal and professional experience with interviews. I hope they help! 😊 1. The first question in any interview is something along the lines of "Tell me about yourself." Whenever I interview, I script a response beforehand that outlines my strengths and how my experience pertains to the role. This is your elevator pitch!  2. Next, be sure to look over the job description and be able to speak to any bullet points. The manager has already outlined in the job description what is needed to be successful in the role. 3. In front of friends, family, or even your dog/cat/goldfish, go over behavioral interview questions. Typical questions can be found online, and practicing will ensure you feel comfortable and confident in your interview.  4. Dress professionally and appropriately for the interview format. If it is a video call make sure you have a good internet connection, a quiet and tidy background, and a clear camera and microphone. Be punctual, polite, and confident. Smile – you got this!  Sincerely, Shelby #interviewtips #interviews #interviewprep

As I was recruiting for a role, candidates were screened, and resumes were forwarded to the hiring manager for review. I guessed, in my mind, the "one" that would be selected for the job. Interviews were scheduled with a few selected candidates; I participated in the interviews. The person I thought would get the job did not land the offer. Why? That candidate didn't prepare well for the interview and made some significant mistakes (late to interview, spoke for ~15 minutes answering the initial interview question, struggled to manage their thoughts during the interview). When you're preparing for an interview, do EVERYTHING you can to stand out from the crowd! Do your research, practice answering interview questions aloud, know the time/date/place of your interview. You may be thinking, "That's easy stuff, Nicole!" Maybe, but I've seen experienced professionals struggle with nerves, self-doubt, and lack of preparedness during interviews. Practice, prepare, and ponder how YOU may best shine in your next interview! #interviewprep #interviewingtips #interviewing #interview

Asking questions at the end of your interview is crucial! It shows that you’re genuinely interested in the job and the company. Plus, it’s a great chance for you to find out more about the company culture, the team you might be working with, and details about the role that you might not find in the job description or on the company website. Not only can this information help you determine if the job truly matches what you're looking for in your career, but asking insightful questions can also leave a memorable impression, helping you stand out from other candidates. It's not just about showing your enthusiasm; it's also about demonstrating your ability to think critically about how you'd fit in and contribute. This exchange can make it easier for both you and the employer to see if you're a great match for each other. Looking for some great interview questions to ask following your next interview?

You’ve been waiting for that interview request but FINALLY, you have a prescreen booked! 🎉 Your inclination is to clear your schedule so that you can prepare and make sure you’re ready for whatever they throw at you. The problem with that? You run the risk of going overboard: 🔄 Overthinking 🔍 Overanalyzing 📚 Overpreparing This creates a pressure cooker where you become desperate for this interview to be IT. The job that you’re 100% going to get. Feeling like that rarely results in a great interview. Usually, it results in you feeling like you bombed it and were a mess. Instead, I want you to start preparing for an interview as soon as you start writing your resume (it’s actually a great starting point!) so that you’re just reviewing your interview prep instead of living it. Then when you get that interview request, I want you to actually go do this… …watch my YouTube on the most important thing you must do. 🎥 DM: Interview Prep and I’ll send the link. 💬 #JobSearch #InterviewTips #CareerAdvice #JobHunt #InterviewPreparation #ProfessionalGrowth #CareerSuccess
