Don’t forget to prepare these for your next interview...  Questions you want to ask 💬  Always have questions prepped to ask the interviewer. This opens the floor for you to find out more about them. As well as highlighting that you’re keen and interested in the role.   You want it to be a 2-sided conversation, not just them firing questions at you. Having something to ask back helps build rapport! 🙌  Toward the end of an interview, they’ll most likely ask if you have any questions for them.  This is your chance to ask if you haven't already!  ALWAYS ask the interviewer about their role and what they like about the company.   And I'd recommend having a few others prepared so you don't look like you've frozen. 🧊  Help a fellow engineer out in the comments.   Suggest some q’s they should ask the hiring manager in their next interview 👇  #Interviews #InterviewPreparation #Recruiter

Doing this simple thing can improve your impression in the interview! Interviews are supposed to be a conversation and not an interrogation So NEVER skip the small talk at the start of the interview When the recruiter asks, “How are you? How has your day been?” Don’t just give small responses like “Fine” or “It’s been good” Give them a little something to understand you better Give more details and try to build a positive rapport But keep in mind to be brief as well And always return the question to the recruiter as well, to learn more about them Small talk is one of the most critical ways we build relationships in the business world So this will help you a lot!

I remember when I was just starting out as a recruiter and had to conduct my first interview. I was so nervous and thought to myself, "What if I ask the wrong questions?" But as I started to engage with the candidate, I realized that it wasn't about asking the right or wrong questions. And that's when I realized the power of active listening. It was a powerful lesson that I learned and has helped me in ensuring potential candidates feel heard and understood during interviews. If you're ever feeling nervous or you're facing a challenging interview, just remember the power of active listening. It might not be easy, but I promise you, it's worth it. Do you have any tips for overcoming nervousness during interviews? #recruiting #interviewtips #activelistening
