Job interviews are stressful! 😵💫 Holly made it through several do’s and don’ts of interviewing in today’s market (thank you Heather Abraham and Mikey Hood for your questions!) as part of this segment, but there are several we didn’t have time for!
☕ DO limit the amount of caffeine you drink the day of the interview. Caffeine can make anxiety worse, and interviews are nerve-wracking enough. Have just enough caffeine to start your day, then focus on staying calm and centered for the interview.
💻 DO use AI to research potential interview questions so you can practice your responses in advance.
📄 DON’T read your answers, word for word, during virtual interviews. They can tell you’re reading!
🤹 DON’T feel you have to pretend to be someone you’re not. You can be professional while remaining authentic.
