Frequently Asked Questions
What should I wear to a job interview?
Dress one level above the company's daily dress code. For corporate environments, wear business formal. For startups, business casual is often appropriate. When in doubt, err on the side of being slightly overdressed.
How should I answer "Tell me about yourself"?
Use a structured approach: 1) Brief current situation, 2) Relevant past experience, 3) Why you're interested in this role. Keep it to 2-3 minutes and focus on professional highlights relevant to the job.
What questions should I ask the interviewer?
Ask about team dynamics, growth opportunities, success metrics for the role, company challenges, and next steps in the process. Avoid asking about salary and benefits in initial interviews unless they bring it up.
