Any tips on how to practice for interviews? I tend to get nervous and always feel unsure about my answers. What are some of things folks here doing to prepare for those questions you were not anticipating?

I look up what programs the business uses and make myself feel comfortable with the product. This morning I had an interview at 10a and I researched the business on YouTube. Many companies produce vids of initiatives online so I viewed the profile and gained new understanding. This was with my present employer but completely different business product

From what I’ve learnt from aggressively interviewing the past few months, practice goes a long way. You could research the list of standard questions they’ll ask you based on your role and be prepared with your responses.

Writing those responses also helps in remembering and having clarity during those calls.

Pausing during the interview and rephrasing a question might actually make you sound more confident.

I am a media trainer and I regularly help people prepare for job interviews - just 2 hours online. Lots of people have told me it is game changing. I am in the UK but consider working with a media trainer that normally prepares people for TV and radio interviews, and who'll help you with content as well as how you come across. Best if they use a video camera or can record online. Good luck.

Hi fishes,
I had interviewed for Cognizant and I was asked to submit my documents for offer letter release. This happened on the same day as my interview(Friday 6th May). I submitted my documents and I am trying to contact the HR who scheduled my interview, but she is not picking up my call. My question is how soon can I expect the offer letter to be released? And is there a possibility that they can reject my profile at this stage?

Random, but valid/persistent thought.

After 2 years of a pandemic and working independently for many years, I am not feeling interviews AT ALL. There are points in the interview where I want to just say "Look! Either hire me or don't".

How can I get over this feeling? I'm over the whole "stand in the line of fire to prove how good I am" bs. Any recommendations for getting over this or possible industries to pivot into to avoid bs interview processes and ghosting?

Welp. Had an interview scheduled for this morning for 30 mins. I join the webex & nothing. I email the recruiter after 15 mins and get a response saying the interviewer had something come up and would like to reschedule. Is it dramatic of me to be bothered by the fact they didn’t even apologize? Meanwhile, I have another interview for a different company Monday & the recruiter reached out today asking if I had any questions or do a zoom test run.
