100s of interviews (on both sides) later here’s what I’ve learned,

It’s not just about the CV - it’s about how you nail the big moments.

✅ Do your homework

A surprising 47% of candidates fail interviews simply because they didn’t know enough about the company. Research more than just the 1st page of Google :)

✅ Make it a conversation

If it’s a 30 min slot - don’t talk for 27 mins. A dialogue lets the other person truly engage.

✅ Body language matters

It reflects your mindset. Too stiff, and you seem tense; too relaxed, and you might appear disinterested.

✅ Keep it crisp

Rambling dilutes your message and can give the impression you’re scattered. This is not the entire movie - it’s the trailer.

Did I miss anything?
