Need a little pick me up! After months of searching, I am finally interviewing tomorrow. But I feel like my communication skill has been very rusty after months of working from home. Heck, I do not even feel like I remember my stories well to back up on my resume. Def feel super unprepared :(

Quickly write it down, just the question and first line story. Say 10 top questions and 1 line starting point. Print and stick it on wall. Pause when asked, thibk / look at it the 10 stories and see if you can spin.

Then spend some time preparing today!

Ask a friend or family member if they can 'mock interview' you, provide them with the questions and record it so you can improve your answers

Talk with ex-coworkers in your field about the job- it’ll help you get your jargon right and be able to tell your stories clearer

Yes. Find some standard questions you may be asked. Record those answers. Play them back . Take notes and improve them , and repeat. You will be sharp!!

OP, how did it go?

Hang in there.

I got a call for a Java position. I told them I do not develop in Java. I do JavaScript with React. He says “oh yes, that is what the client wants”. So I sent my resume. When he sent the confirmation email it stated Angular/Java. I told him that I don’t have much Java skills. He then sent this (pic) as a response. 🤔🤔🤔
When I spoke to the client she had no idea why the recruiter added angular react as it was just a Java developer position, Completely wasted so much time

10 open Leadership Supervisor positions.
Almost 30 applicants.

I said that "People come to me about process issues, and I worked with others to better that process for them and the team."
Interviewer feedback denying me the role was that because I did not say "People trust me and came to me about process issues. Which led me to collaborate with others that I have networked with in the past to find solutions." I did not get the job.

Was this Code-Switching nitpick?
