Question- how do you all appear enthusiastic and high energy in job interviews? I’ve gotten feedback that my serious demeanor comes across as not enthusiastic about the job and then I get dinged

Good question - as an interviewee but I guess I could see it going the other way too!

My recommendation is that before the interview ends, to tell the interviewer that you are very interested in the position and passionate about your work. Don’t wait for them to guess

Similar problem here. I have a hard time not taking this personally — just because I’m much more measured, or logical in my approach doesn’t mean I don’t care or I won’t do as good of a job as someone “enthusiastic"

Agreed! It’s so subjective and not related to performance at work

I try and picture that I have the job already and get excited about learning more. I also try and connect with the interviewers personally whether it be about the industry, area, whatever you can find that is common.

Guys I’d appreciate your perspectives on this: how big of an asshole am I for staying in the interview process for a few interesting opportunities despite having received an offer from one of my top choices (80% chance will accept). I’m a first year recruiting for summer 2021 internships FYI.

Had my 1:1 with my People Lead yesterday to prepare for talent discussions. Said I had a great year - but need to work on being consistent. She said when I’m engaged it’s great but need to keep it going. I’ve mentioned my ADHD previously but I’m sure she doesn’t know all the components of what that means. We’ve had org issues - no clear role descriptions or expectations. Yes I do have a hard time staying engaged (and I’m medicated - Vyvance in the am, dextroamphetamine at noon). Thoughts?
