FAQ
Do I need to prepare for an interview?
Absolutely! A prepared candidate comes across as confident and competent. There’s a fine balance in that you don’t want to come across as rehearsed or over-prepared.
What answers are the best when interviewing?
There aren’t right or wrong answers for the most part when interviewing. It really comes down to job and culture fit that’s being assessed by the Interviewers. Certain answers may signal a red flag and I can help discern between your internal locus of control versus external locus of control responses.
