Any specific and actionable advice on how to better articulate your experience in interviews? I feel like I have been working on projects that are above my pay grade and my job descriptions (which my Manager also validated) but I have a hard time when it comes to selling myself in interviews. Any tips/advice is appreciated!

One thing I've found helpful is to find a list of common interview questions (there are several online) and write out answers to each (perhaps using the STAR method CS1 mentions). This will allow you to prepare how best to articulate your experience and keep your answers organized. I also find that going through the exercise allows you to better think on your feet if you're asked unexpected questions.

Thanks for the input!

Research the STAR method of interviewing. Write out a couple STAR scenarios and have it beyond the view of your camera to reference.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.
