Great advice on Interviewing

Bonus tip! Come prepared with thoughtful questions for the interviewer; questions that aren’t "Googleable". Start it off with what you know about the firm and position to show you’ve done your research. Remember to frame your question in a curious, not cautious way. Examples: Cautious: Why did the last person not work out?  Curious: I’m eager to hit the ground running; what hard/soft skills have proved to be successful in this seat and what were the pain points? What attributes do employees with the longest tenure have? Cautious: What is the company culture like? Curious: From what I’ve seen, there is an emphasis on building an entrepreneurial workplace. How would you describe the working dynamic on the team? How have things evolved since you’ve joined?

Walking into an interview, I used to think it was all about proving myself—showing that I knew the right answers, had the right experience, and could check all the boxes. But over time, I realized interviews are just as much about finding the right fit as they are about skills. It's a two-way street. Some things that helped me shift my mindset: - Approaching the interview as a conversation, not an interrogation. - Asking questions that matter to me—about team culture, growth opportunities, and work-life balance. - Being honest about what I don't know while showing how I tackle new challenges. Once I started treating interviews as a chance to connect rather than just perform, the whole process felt a lot less stressful—and a lot more productive. #JobInterviews #CareerGrowth #SoftwareEngineering #InterviewTips #TechCareers #SeniorSoftwareDeveloper #CareerAdvice
