What’s the hardest you’ve ever bombed an interview? I once answered a behavioral question so badly the interviewer started helping me formulate my own example halfway through (humanitarian effort on his part, I guess). They rejected me in under 30 minutes. Pretty sure they hit ‘send’ before I reached the elevator, LOL.

Do you keep track of all your applications, or are you submitting too many to count? Any idea what your interview "hit rate" is? I used to track more, but it's impossible to check your status on so many platforms, it doesn't always seem worth it.

This may sound weird but hear me out. I have an interview coming up for a role that I have a strong suspicion is not a good fit for me. So I figure this is a good opportunity to try out some things that I’ve never been brave enough to do before. E.g. try to prioritize making personal connection over demonstrating the fit. I’m looking for more ideas though. Do you have any suggestions or questions that I can try? Happy to report back with results!

Hey peeps! What’s your go-to question at the end of an interview? In my experience, interviewers completely change energy depending on the question you ask at the end. For me, the best results came from questions that make them talk about themselves or their team naturally. One I used recently was: “What’s something about working here that ended up being better than you expected?” Somehow it turned into a 10 minute conversation. Basically, the interview got stronger after that point.

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?
