Love a good jam to get me in the zone! I also like to shake out the nerves. I’m sure it looks crazy, so definitely recommend in the privacy of the car or at home.

These are great ideas! Definitely going to use this in the future.

I chug a coffee and listen to the Dan Patrick Show on my way to the interview. It always makes me laugh and puts me in a good mood. Great for calming the pre-interview jitters.

At this point in my life, yes 😂. I'm borderline non-functional if I don't have 100 mg coursing through my veins at all times.

Do them early in the morning, so you don't have one more thing to sweat over during the day.

I record myself for about 30 seconds answering a question about my resume. This way I know what I sound and look like that day to see if I need to dial it down or step it up.

I take a few deep breaths, helps calm my nerves

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

I’m interviewing for a job, but I’m getting a toxic vibes.

4. asked my favorite movie and said “he fell asleep” during

Hey all! I went through the interviewing process with a company and we had a verbal agreement on X amount of salary per year. They liked me and extended an offer but the offer was for $15K less than what we agreed bc that’s what HR approved for. I was desperate so I took it. Accepting this offer meant that I had to relocate to the other side of the country. Omw that was 2500 miles, I received a call that they rescinded the offer. Is there anything legal that I can do to sue them?
