Breathe. Sniff lavender before your interview. Have water by your side too. Smile a lot. Give yourself a pep talk right before the interview.

Thank you! It’s over the phone, but I’m sure smiling will help a lot in keeping a nice tone.

Read over the company about us section. Maybe have it pulled up for reference. Explain how you fit those company values. Be yourself. Breathe. Google a "questions to ask interviewer."

Thank you!! I just finished my questions up this morning actually!

It went very well with the VP! Scheduling a follow up interview with the hiring manager/director next week.

Any more advice would be much appreciated!

Hey guys,

I have some interview rounds with Legato, now I got a mail stating that you have cleared the Technical rounds and for initiating the Hr discussions and Offer leteer you have to provide some documents.

The some documents includes all the documents which may and may not required for a proper joining.

Should I really need to provide those before HR discussion and offer letter?

Please help.

The most annoying part of an interview process “create a presentation on our product you know nothing about and present it to 3 people who know every last detail about the product”. It’s not a shortage of people applying, it’s the unnecessarily long interview processes. When many companies are now adapting this, no one has time to put together multiple presentations after normal working hours. Hiring has gotten so complicated for no reason.
