Peer interviews can be the most unpredictable part of the loop. I’ve had conversations that felt like instant rapport and others that felt stiff despite my best efforts. How do you build connection quickly while still demonstrating competence?

I ask them questions a lot, especially about their perspective. I had heard somewhere that people like to talk about themselves, I find this is true. This also makes time go by faster; interviews can live and die in the silence. And babbling on about random things, or over and over about things you've already discussed, drowns out competence.

like

I haven’t worried so much about rapport but I remember some interviews that didn’t go smoothly because the interviewer had nothing planned. Or maybe they had someone else in mind already and couldn’t cancel the appointment. That doesn’t mean you can’t be prepared. Use the time to ask questions. It shows you’re interested and not just going through the motions talking about yourself. Is the organization doing well? Does the team work well together? How long have you been in your current role? What do you like most? Who do you interact with and what do they do? Does the team do anything outside of the office?

I prepared a presentation for an interview with a sales leader, it went well and I was offered a final interview with regional manager. The sales leader I interviewed with gave me a bunch of feedback, but said to find out information about tech stack, which I for some reason, didn’t consider. I come to find out that deep, hidden within the website of the hypothetical client, they use the service already. Do I roll into the final interview and play dumb or do i present and then come clean?
