One of the biggest mistakes candidates make is feeling like they need to fill the silence immediately after an interview question.

Instead, pause.

Take a breath. Gather your thoughts. Then answer.

That brief moment can help you:

✔️ Deliver a more thoughtful, complete response

✔️ Avoid rambling and get to the point faster

✔️ Make sure you're actually answering the question that was asked

Remember, interviewers aren't grading you on speed. They're evaluating how you think, communicate, and solve problems.

A few seconds of silence can turn a good answer into a great one.

If you're interviewing, check out this crucial advice from our VP of Operations and Delivery Ava McClain!

These days, interviewers are on the lookout for candidates who use AI or any online materials to answer interview questions. They're instead looking for authenticity, and admitting that you don't know the answer gets you much further than a hastily searched response.

Keep your eyes on the camera in a virtual interview, and when you do need to refer to notes or jot down a thought, do so on pen and paper.

Time to share Ava's Amazing TekTips on how to make the most out of each interview!

Firstly, it's extremely important to give yourself at least 30 minutes of free time both before and after interviews. For virtual interviews, unexpected technical complications such as a forced restart or audio malfunctions can leave interviewers waiting and set a tense tone for the rest of the interview if you delay the interview. Joining the interview early can leave time for ice breakers and a chance to know interviewers on a personal level in addition to giving you time to troubleshoot unexpected issues beforehand.

By leaving 30 minutes free after the interview, you won't have to cut off an interview that is going so well that you're going beyond the allotted time limit. It also gives you time to write up a thank you note directly after the interview.

Secondly, using techniques that physiologically lower your heartrate and calm your nervous system are your best bet to feel prepared and confident in what is usually a nerve wracking situation.

Finally, Monday interviews statistically have the worst outcomes. Unexpected issues are likely to pop up that can distract both your interviewers and interviewees. It can even lead to last minute cancellations. If possible, avoid Monday interviews!
