If you don’t know why you want the job, don’t even go... I interview a lot and what will guarantee a second interview is this-

Me- Thank you for your time and share if with me you me background and experience. Do you have any questions for me?
Person being interviewed - Just one. Can you tell me why you have chosen to work here for the time that you have been here?

That is the most powerful question I can get. That shows that they are interested in me, the firm, and what they can look forward to.

smart

Be yourself. Go in there as if your best friend is asking you questions. If you feel overwhelmingly uncomfortable in the interview the job is not for you. Remember there’s no such thing as preparing for an interview. There is a such thing as listening, answering the questions from your heart but clean and brief, let them control the interview and ask questions that are things you would like to see in a job or questions on how you’ll be able to accelerate in your career and read the job description 10-20 times.

Are used to sit in my car and repeat the mantra get this job get this job get this job. It worked every time don’t ask me how

Know what you know and admit what you don't know. Most interviewers can smell BS a mile away, and prefer honestly and eagerness to learn.

I’ve worked at the same well known tech company since I graduated school 8 years ago. I’ve been promoted 3 times so I’ve held a few different jobs within my org.

BUT .. I’ve applied to a few companies and getting no responses. Is it a deterrent for hiring managers/recruiters that my experience is based primarily at one company?

Had my virtual on-site for an S&O L3 role 3.5 weeks ago (NYC, 5 YOE). I haven’t heard back on a decision yet, and was wondering how long it typically takes? I also know that I was one of the very first candidates to interview for this specific role, and there are atleast 2 more people scheduled for onsites. Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?

Hi everyone,

I appeared in L2 round of Capgemini recently.
Just after the intro first question they asked me " Do you have any offer and amount?" This question was asked in technical round.
I'm sure that guy wasn't a Manager.

I don't think he know how to take an interview.

Even after creating 2 asked program and answering 80% of their questions correctly.
Got rejected.
Didn't expect this kind of L2 round from Capgemini.

I am never good at asking follow up questions during an interview. Actually this will be more like a discussion about a STEM opening in my district. Ideas on questions and maybe conversation starters? Thanks!

Hi. I was recently offered two jobs within the company. I had to turn down the first offer. I feel really awful about it. I really liked that team and the hiring manager. I want to send an email to the hiring manager thanking them for their time and consideration etc. Would that be unprofessional? Could it offend them? What would you do in such a situation?
