I interviewed with Amazon previously and went far in the interviewing process. Unfortunately, I didn’t hit the mark with the behavioral interview portion. I was not told where my opportunities to improve are. Do you have any suggestions, classes, books, resources, etc to prepare and improve in future behavioral interviews?

I am interviewing at another company and when they asked me what my pay expectations are, I asked them what their pay range and expectations were for this role. She let me know she was unable to tell me, yet still wanted me to give an answer. Do you believe that’s fair? How should I bring up pay expectations in my next round of interviews to ensure I am aware of what this position is offering so I don’t lowball or overshoot myself?

Hi. I’m looking for advice. I recently interviewed for a job with the EPA. The hiring manager and team seems like it would be a good fit and I would be working on projects that would be what I want to be doing as a career. The job description has not been written up yet. How likely would the job be remote versus telework? My boyfriend has said he would not want to relocate. It almost seems like a cliché situation and I would be very conflicted about moving away from him.
