Editor's Notes
- The dreaded interview! You’ve come a long way, but it all comes down to the interview Here to share my learnings and thoughts with you I’ve got 6 Keys to get the best out of your interview process
- There’s nothing worse, than having an interviewee overrun the interview with waffle
- Seeing the deep understanding that you know what you are getting yourself into
- You spend a 3rd of your life at work, it’s like a marriage. You’re potentially making a life changing decision, spend the quality time understanding your future family
- Nothing worse and more distracting than someone who is overpowered by nerves or lack of confidence
- The age old saying of “don’t judge a book by it’s cover” does not apply here. The honest truth is that first impressions last and people will remember the way you appear when you first meet them.
