Truly, treating the interview as a conversation makes it feel less stressful!

[@deviceinside]

amen 🙏

[@dm1759]

I have a first round interview tomorrow for a Product Marketer role tomorrow afternoon so this comes at the perfect time. I’m in serious prep mode.

[@littlekingtuk]

Hope you got the job

[@caseywarning3462]

Rooting for you!

[@porosenokify]

How did it go? :)

[@VeenaNamboodri-Schioppa-rp1lb]

I’d love for you to cover how to answer questions about long career/employment gaps in interviews as well as job docs.- you touched on it here and I’d love your more detailed take on that topic :) thanks for this really useful video!

[@joshuapecson5985]

tip: try to jot down notes in your interview. it shows your dedication in picking up this role and it can also help on your next interview to maybe include in your talking points

[@ishanhurne8310]

Can I request you to make a video for fresh graduates. And another how to be confident in your speaking without fumbling in an interview.

[@dixonmiller1243]

Great summary video. Thanks for posting Amy and HBR!

[@Amarmi579]

So.... basically, take acting classes before your job interview 😄

[@thesocialintrovertchronicles]

And trust me you'll be sorry you didn't 😢.... I know I am🤷🏾‍♀️

[@hulyaakgedik4097]

Hello, thanks for the tips. Would you also be interested in covering salary negotiation, transferable skills and a versatile profile for a senior position, please?

[@Cybercenturycentaur]

Should I also talk with my hands and arms during a job interview?

[@7Rsalcedo]

love the corrective statements.

[@ngvkhtnw22]

Telling your interviewer(s) "how I rescued the organization..." is not something that would go down well with many interviewers, this is a risky move.

[@victornewman1082]

Why not?

[@marlaerwin3610]

I agree; it risks sounding arrogant or self-important, not to mention overdramatic. Perhaps a more moderate, "How I made a difference for the company" or "How my input shaped the success of the project" would accomplish the same thing without that loaded "rescue" wording.

[@joewatts9132]

I'm not sure if it was me or some other reason(s) that I didn't get the job but knowing these pointers could've helped. Some of them I instinctively went with (just keep going after you mess up), but I was ill prepared to say the least. I'm grateful I didn't get the job however, because it doesn't fit me and afforded me the need to search more and reevaluate the course I am taking.

[@Pedritox0953]

Great video!

[@ishanhurne8310]

And one more why do you want to switch your field or sector you were working in this topic video too when asked in an interview.

[@Shubham_Toshniwal]

Can a company to conduct all rounds of interview over text as I am profoundly deaf, have mild speech issues and don't know sign language at all?

[@marlaerwin3610]

Most companies will have a section in the job description or on their Careers page that addresses "accommodations" - usually an email address where you can request specific arrangements.
