    I answer this type of question about a skill/task that I may have a basic knowledge in but would like to develop more in depth skills & how I am doing that. For example, ' I have a basic working knowledge of Excel, however I would like to develop my skills to an advanced level. I am undertaking a number of on-line courses to develop my knowledge. This type of response shows self awareness and that you are proactively undertaking measures to address this.

I have a strong interview anxiety. I know I have a great potential because of my work ethic, values, experiences, and qualities as a person. But, how can I prove that to the panel if I'm super nervous and forget what to say at the moment. My anxiety ruins my opportunity to show them that I'm a great fit. I don't know how to overcome this.

I’ve started judging companies by how they reject candidates. Some places make you feel respected even with a no. I received the nicest rejection email today that let me down easy and still made me feel hopeful about my next interview. Others just ghost like a situationship. Can’t help but wonder how they think they’ll attract great talent they treated that way in the past?

"If I hand you a single pin, how many uses can you come up with in 60 seconds? Talk me through your thinking as you go. " Yes... this was a real question in one of my interviews! Didn't get the job in the end. I still don't understand the point of this exercise. Why would someone ask this?

At this point I’m convinced some companies repost the same job every 3 weeks just to keep HR emotionally fulfilled 😭 How are the same jobs popping up on LinkedIn for months?
