Has anyone done interviews as a hiring manager and would like to share tips/ things to watch out for interviewees? What have you seen that impressed you? Or turned you off? It’s been awhile since I interviewed.

Ahhh, then 2 pieces of advice...1. have a rehearsed answer to the first question (which will be something like, tell me about yourself or why you want this job). Answer it by starting w where you came from (degree), to where you are, to where you want to go and at each stage emphasize what experience or skills you gained that relate to this job. For all other interview questions follow the STAR method. Truth is..confidence and likability are important. Try to make a light hearted joke when you first get on, even if it's just about the weather. Will show you are relaxed and confident!

Ask follow up questions on every red flag. Will reveal a lot. Try to see if the person really wants the job.

Thank you! To clarify, I’m the one being interviewed and I’m asking for the interviewers’ perspective/insights. This is helpful either way!

I almost got out of Pharma... A CD from a Consumer agency doing solid work reached out, and I was so excited thinking I could finally do the kind of work I love. Then they told me they will fill the position with a current employee. I played it cool, but I can’t deny I felt frustrated. I don’t wanna do healthcare, but it seems like it’s the only thing available in NYC nowadays. I also don’t have many connections in this city. So, IF you need an ACD/Art (full-time or FL-to-perm), let’s chat! 🙌🏻
