Make sure you give a few examples either Work them into your answers to the questions or when they give you time at the end.

Always bring your CAR to the interview, meaning answer every question in the form of Circumstance, Action you took, and Result. Also practice your elevator pitch and use that to respond to “Tell me about yourself”. You should look up common interview questions and go from there. I actually prepared an interview prep doc with common questions and my answers to them using the CAR method.

Also, some of the best advice I got in undergrad was to keep the interviewer talking. If it feels like an effortlessly flowing conversation, you’re doing great. Sometimes it’s easier if you can get the interviewer talking about themselves because everyone loves to talk about themselves. Try to find similarities between you to help the conversation flow.

Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.
