Don’t use the same story with different interviewers in the same round. May be okay to use again in the final round, but we definitely notice during the debrief if a candidate used the same situation for more than one PEI question

Otherwise just have one really good example for each, and listen to exactly what your interviewer says to make sure you answer their specific questions

Thank you!!

Hello anyone reading this! I wanted to ask for any realistic, recommended job positions from someone with more knowledge and experience. I am graduating this December with my BBA and am ready to leave the job I’m in now. I’ve been applying for a range of positions I qualify for and nothing so far, which I expected. I have 3 years of experience in management operations but also have 6 years of experience with child care, is that why I may be getting rejected? Maybe I’m overthinking my resume? 😅
