I am in the building 30 minutes before and show up in their office 10 minutes before the scheduled interview. I don't risk being late. I'd rather be as early as possible. Besides, It has been a useful and a good habit I was able to form.

I try to be as close to on time as possible. If I get there with five minutes to spare, I wait another minute in my car and then go in or log on if the interview is remote.

I like to get to the location at least 15 minutes before, and then will walk in about 10 minutes before start time.

I always get anxious whenever I am about to get an interview. What I do is I arrive early at the company. I make sure that I am at least 30 minutes early. I'd like to compose myself before doing it/

Hi Fishes,
I had given interview for network security architect position in Feb last week. And as per recruiter, I got selected for that role. I have been asked to share the documents on March 1st. I did a few followup for the offer letter update and they asked me 2 wait for 2-3 weeks. And now they are saying position has gone on hold after I did another followup.
Could it be because of expected salary ?

Hey everyone,
I have a second round interview with a saas company selling education software. This interview will be a 30 minute zoom call with the VP of sales. I am someone from a non- traditional background with 2 years of sales-ish roles but no experience in tech sales and no straight forward sales job.
I did a tech sales bootcamp. Im just worried about what questions he will ask me? Im thinking more technical in terms of sales processes and even sales funnels? Any thoughts?

I've been searching for a new job because I know I am underpaid. I have 12+ years of experience in the event industry and seven years in the Event Tech world. I interviewed with Netflix, Amazon, and Microsoft. I went through all the stages, but I was not selected. Any advice? I think I did great in all my interviews; my resume is solid, and I have four university degrees including a Master’s. I speak English and Spanish. Any advice of what my problem might be?

Potential new job is flying me across the country….for a one hour interview. Red flag? Or just a formality since they want me to relocate so I can see what it’s about?
