Interview Do's and Don'ts
Master interview techniques with practical guidance to help you land your dream job
Interview Preparation Strategies
Thorough preparation is the foundation of interview success. Our newsletter provides comprehensive frameworks for researching companies, understanding job requirements, and anticipating questions. We share techniques for company research that go beyond the "About Us" page, helping you understand the organization's challenges, culture, and priorities.
Each week, we provide industry-specific preparation guides, including common technical questions, case study approaches, and presentation expectations for different roles.
Answering Challenging Questions
Even the most qualified candidates can struggle with tricky interview questions. Our newsletter breaks down approaches to common challenging questions, from explaining employment gaps to discussing salary expectations. We provide frameworks like the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) for structuring compelling responses to behavioral questions.
Subscribers receive sample answers for difficult scenarios, along with guidance on customizing these templates to authentically reflect their own experiences and strengths.
Virtual Interview Excellence
Remote interviews present unique challenges and opportunities. Our newsletter covers best practices for virtual interviews, from technical setup to on-camera presence. We provide checklists for testing your technology, optimizing your environment, and troubleshooting common issues that can derail a virtual interview.
We also share insights on building rapport in virtual settings and leveraging the digital format to showcase materials or examples of your work when appropriate.
Post-Interview Follow-Up
What you do after an interview can be just as important as the interview itself. Our newsletter provides guidance on effective follow-up strategies, including timing, content, and format of thank-you notes. We share techniques for addressing concerns that arose during the interview and providing additional information that strengthens your candidacy.
Subscribers receive templates for different types of follow-up communications, from immediate thank-you emails to check-ins when the hiring process extends longer than expected.
