To come with questions prepared to ask at the end of the interview. It's a great opportunity to leave a lasting impression and shows you did your homework prepping. I feel like a lot of candidates don't take full advantage of this opportunity. I definitely used to be one of them.

Yeah I used to be the same, it can be a lot take in so you don’t think of it in the moment unless you prepare properly.

They have already been through your resume and called you. Take a deep breath, that is the hard part.

Good advice there! I’ll keep that in mind, thanks😁

The best advice I received was to prepare stories, not answers. Clear examples of impact, mistakes, and learning stick far more than perfect responses. It helped me sound confident without sounding rehearsed.

Yeah that’s a good point, I’ll bare that in mind thanks😁

Good traders tend to be flexible. I can make money in all kinds of markets, being a bull or a bear. Today was a headscratching day. We rallied a lot farther than we should have. We bounced in place's we shouldn't have. So, I have to ask myself? What the hell happened? While I made money today, I should have made lots more money. Remember the tip that markets don't count Pre-NY Mondays. If I decided to do my from last weeks low as opposed to today's low. I'm bullish. Additional info in reply post
