If you're prepping for an interview, here's a tip that doesn't get enough attention: When you're asked about your skills or experience, just be honest! Sounds simple, right? Companies often throw technical questions at you to understand where your strengths lie and what areas need improvement. If you don’t know the answer, it’s totally okay to say so! It’s usually not a trick, they’re just trying to get a sense of your expertise. In my experience, being upfront about this instead of scrambling for an answer is always appreciated. It shows you’re genuine, and that goes a long way!

Here's an interview tip! Got an interview lined up? It's your time to shine, but also your time to assess if this is the right fit for you. Prepare not just answers but also questions that matter to you. What's the team culture like? How do they handle growth and development? An interview is a two-way street, and you're in the driver's seat too. Drive the conversation and discover if this is your next great adventure. #InterviewReady

What is your one favorite question that you asked at the end of every interview? I always conclude my interviews with a unique question: I understand you may not be able to provide direct feedback, but what is the one thing you believe I should improve? Why do I ask? This question often catches interviewers off guard, prompting some to offer valuable insights while others remain reserved. Nonetheless, the responses I receive guide my efforts toward personal and professional growth. Share your favorite question to help others!

Preparing for an informational interview is essential for a productive and insightful conversation. 1. Researching both the interviewee and yourself, crafting thoughtful questions, and practicing delivery are crucial steps. 2. Remember to dress appropriately, arrive early, and stay engaged during the interview. 3. Actively listen, pivot when necessary, and seize the opportunity to fully immerse yourself in the experience. These are great tips I learned from our informational interview focused class led by our leader Bobby Thompson! Definitely going to be utilizing these tips! #igniteyourvocation

She casually mentioned she was going for an interview. I casually suggested that she not think of it as an interview but as a conversation. Her eyes lit up as she considered the possibilities of letting go of all the pressures that she put on herself before the big interview. Often, we tend to think of an interview as a one-way street: We show up, do our best, and put all the decision-making in the hands of the interviewers. When we reframe that thinking, when we realize that it's a two-way conversation, we tend to relax a bit into the idea that we'll be meeting some folks and, yes, we'll prepare, we'll put our best feet forward and, then we can infuse the conversation with more authenticity and presence. Maybe we won't like them after all. Maybe it's not a good fit for either of us. And maybe we'll connect and welcome each other into the possibility of working together. #mindshift #positiveintelligence
