I don't interview well. I have a resume that gets me noticed and I get interviews, but I get a lot of rejections from those interviews. What can I do to stand out in my interviews?

First, know that you are in charge of the interview. Thinking about it that way made me feel much more confident going into an interview.

It's important to know how your skill matches the job. If you are not sure from the job posting, ask what is the ideal candidate for the position (I would ask the recruiter not the hiring manager). Write those down and make sure you have those points covered in your intro.
Write down some answers to some common interview questions. I am sure you can Google those easily.
Write down some past challenges that are related to the ideal candidate qualities. Then use STAR method to describe how you overcome those challenges.
Write down some questions that are related to the job or the organization. Make it meaningful. The questions can be a game changer. One time, I didn't feel like the interview was going well. I said that I don't think this interview is going well, ask me a question so that I can give you an answer to change your mind. That definitely left an impression.
At the end, make sure you have addressed all the concerns.
After the interview follow up with a Thank you note to have a short recap on the discussion and comment on one thing that is important to the interviewer.

Best of Luck!

I am interviewing for a new IT Manager position. I started putting out soft feelers and then hit the hunt harder. The problem: I have one offer and need to give an answer by next Wednesday. I have two other opportunities that are in final steps but probably won’t have offers by next Wednesday. Both of the other offers will be higher pay but clearly are uncertain for offers. Do I accept the offer I have, which is a good one or wait for the other two to finalize and possibly miss out altogether?

My father (mid 50s) is interviewing for a new engineering role and is getting discouraged when he doesn’t hear back from the recruiter after a couple days have passed since last contact. My personal experience is that this is common (even when you are a strong candidate) and that he should only start getting concerned after 1-2 weeks have gone by without any word from the recruiter. Thoughts? I’d love to get him some info from others about this so he can relax a bit…
