I sense a trend. And this is actually helpful. Keeps me focused.

That's what I was thinking. Thanks.

In person interviews are a lot like Client meetings, they’re all about listening and not telling.

Have an airtight shpiel prepared about yourself and then just be prepared with open ended questions. Listen intently, try to ascertain if they’re the kind of people you see yourself working with long term (Partners/SMs should sound inspiring, passionate &/or mature).

They’re bringing you in because you meet all job qualifications. So this part is really about soft skills and checking if you’re the same person they read about on your resume. So be factual, be authentic, ensure that you’ll like being part of the team and don’t forget to have fun Good luck!

Don't talk about the new vacation thing, you'll seem like you like to take vacations

I like to have thought through a number of impact statements - "I did X so that Y could happen, benefitting the client/firm/team in such and such a way."

The best advice that I have ever received is “Be Yourself” - this helps you focus, keeps you relaxed and makes you look genuine.

Definitely tie
