I have an interview tomorrow.
Different industry (and I have no prior experience in that industry).
How do I ace it? Any tips?

Think carefully about how to articulate that your skills and knowledge are transferable. Show them why you’re interested in the switch. Demonstrate why you’re more valuable - outsiders disrupted whole industries, just look at Uber, Airbnb etc. The key is to show you have enough knowledge (and humility) to not be a risk, but that your differing perspective can be a value add vs hiring more of what you know. I’m in the UK so don’t know if it’s the same in the US but interviews are a two way thing - ask questions and make it a dialogue. Good luck

Hey I've front end developer interview tomorrow. May someone please guide me for preparation?

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.

Interviewed for a sr. PM last Thursday. Was scheduled for 30min but we went to an hour and had a really good conversation. The questions I got asked I was told the answers were perfect by the hiring manager. I felt really good coming out of it but then followed up with an email thanking them for the time the next day and I never received a response or next steps. Am I thinking too much into it or is it not a good sign?
