1. Always approach an interview with as much information about the company and the key players as possible. 2. Always show up as your authentic self. Never try to fake it. Be you or don't pursue...that opportunity. 3. Exude confidence - you're able to do that when you are able to apply 1 and 2 4. Ask solid questions. For example, is this a new position? How did this position come to be? What does a successful person in the position look like from your point of view? Are you a micro-manager? What is your best form of communicating when the tough conversations must be had? these are just some of the questions to get you started. You can contact me to set up a consultation for HR interviewing coaching (www.thehigherlevelmethod.com).

The interview is not one-sided. You're interviewing them as well!

As an introvert, I'd jot down notes in a small notebook and bring them with me to the interview. I tend to become a deer in the headlights and forget my accomplishments and any questions I might have.

Always do some research. Give it your best shot. Listen carefully to the questions being asked and be confident

Can someone answer this for me...I usually do okay in interviews but when I am asked if I have any questions, I never have any (and that seems to be a negative)! What are good questions to ask at an interview? Of course benefits come to mind but they're all already listed in the job description. Thank you!

I would say confidence. Over anything. It help a ton.

Connecting is good when it's organic. If a shared interest comes up in dialogue, don't be afraid to lean into it. Hiring Managers are people too and want to discuss their likes as well!

Authenticity is key! If you feel like you are putting on a act, imagine having to perform for your audience daily and then be someone else at home! That is incongruent! It should also feel organic like a free flowing conversation, if not, run, don't walk! Please bring something to take notes with and have a question for the interviewer in your back pocket!

Be calm and know exactly what you need to know. Especially for technical interviews.

Confidence, be yourself and be prepared. To prep, I always review the job description, have pre-posed questions ready and have my resume in hand. Making a connection during your interview can really build your relationship which in turn builds initial trust during your interview.

Remember your ABC's, Always Be Confident! You need to be a bit of a show off to make an impression, but keep in mind that you must also show respect. At the same time you should be trying your best to understand exactly what the interviewer and saying. If they say something that seems a bit off, perhaps reconsider where you want to work.
