Question what are the basic questions that the interview asked
Does anyone draw a complete blank at interviews? From the time they say "So tell me about yourself" I go into fight or flight mode. It as if they're asking me about someone else's life. They say don't try to memorize your answers, but I have no other choice. I sturdy all these stories and intro's about myself and still can't remember. I don't know what to do. I have had at least 4 interviews and at each one I rambled and didn't get the job.
Hey folks -- what’s a subtle interview red flag people should pay more attention to that most candidates ignore at first? I’ll start: - The interviewer constantly interrupts or seems distracted the whole time. - Nobody can clearly explain what the role actually involves day to day. - They dodge questions about turnover, onboarding, or why the role is open. - The interview feels weirdly adversarial for no reason. Anything else that comes to mind?
Growth Isn’t Always Comfortable One thing I’ve realized in my career journey is that growth often comes disguised as discomfort. The roles that stretch you, the feedback that challenges you, and the moments you feel uncertain—those are usually the turning points. If you’re in a phase where things feel unclear or tough, you’re probably evolving. Stay consistent. Stay open to learning. The results will follow
For a phone screen: tell me about your self, why are you looking, what is….(some behavior question), and salary and availability. Hiring manager team interviews: more behavioral, technical, and culture fit. Questions can be structured or unstructured dependent on the whim if the interviewer. Exe/Stakeholder level: questions to vet big picture thinking, goals, cross-functional collaboration, and what you bring to the org. This is my experience interviewing in tech.
- Tell me about yourself/walk me through your resume - Why are you leaving/why did you leave your last company? - Why do you want to work for this company? - Examples of successes and accomplishments - Examples of failures or difficulties... and how you handled them - Salary expectations
Tell me about yourself Have you ever had your work critiqued by a senior leader How would you handle specific situations What do you know about the company Why do you want to work here Do you prefer working alone or with a team How do you stay organized Name a book that you recently read Where do you see yourself in the future Tell me about a time you solved a problem (use STAR method here)
