My client, Addie, messaged me saying, "I freeze up in interviews and forget everything I wanted to say. I thought I was bad at interviews. Turns out, I just needed the right prep. But with some Matt Magic, I walked into my interview with confidence, even though I'm naturally shy. Thanks Matt for helping provide some magic!"

Congratulations — you made it to the second round of interviews for a job. Now, it’s time to step up your game and make an even stronger impression.
The second interview is your chance to stand out and prove you’re the obvious choice for the job. It’s also an opportunity to revisit any questions you feel could use a bit more clarity or detail.
If you’re feeling nervous, don’t worry.
Here are the do’s and don’ts of a second interview and actionable tips to help you secure the job.

1. Research Beyond the Company’s Website
Matthew Warzel, certified professional resume writer (CPRW), certified internet recruiter (CIR) and president of resume-writing firm MJW Careers, suggests looking into the company’s recent news, press releases, and social media channels to prepare for your second interview.
“Being well-informed allows you to tailor your answers to show how you can contribute to their specific needs,” he said.
Also, if possible, he recommends looking up who will be interviewing you and researching their roles within the company.
“Look at their LinkedIn profiles to understand their backgrounds and interests. This will help you make your responses more relevant and allow you to build rapport during the interview,” he added.
2. Use the STAR Method
“I always train my clients to use the STAR method to prepare for behavioral questions that are likely to come up in a second interview,” Warzel said.
The STAR method is a structured and concise way of responding to a behavioral-based question by discussing the specific situation, task, action and result of the situation you’re describing.
S: Describe the situation you were in
T: What was your task?
A: Talk about the action you took to fix the problem
R: What were the results of your action?
3. Ask Insightful Questions
Interviews are not a one-way conversation. They’re an opportunity for both parties to get to know each other. You’ll want to prepare thoughtful questions that demonstrate your interest in the role and the company’s future.
“Remember to use this opportunity to ask about expectations for the role in the first 90 days, team dynamics and how your success will be measured. This not only shows your strategic thinking but also helps you gauge whether the position is a good fit for you,” Warzel suggested.
My robust interview training program ensures you'll never leave an interview thinking, "I should have said..."
