Interviews are nerve wracking — but they don't have to be. The candidates who perform best aren't necessarily the most qualified. They're the ones who prepared the most.

Worth Trying

More interview prep starts with more interviews to prep for. If you're only landing one or two a month, the bottleneck is often application volume, not your resume. LoopCV automatically applies you to relevant roles across 30+ job boards — worth a look if the search itself is eating more time than the prep.

More Questions Worth Practicing

Behavioral
"Tell me about a time you handled a difficult situation at work."
Use the STAR method — describe the Situation, the Task you were responsible for, the Action you took, and the Result you achieved.
Common
"Where do you see yourself in 5 years?"
Show ambition while making it clear you see a future at this company — without saying you want your interviewer's job.

Salary Negotiation — Don't Leave Money on the Table

Studies show that candidates who negotiate earn significantly more over their careers than those who accept the first offer. When asked about salary expectations, try: "I'd love to learn more about the full scope of the role before discussing compensation. Could you share the budgeted range?"

When you receive an offer, ask for 24-48 hours to consider it, then come back with a counter 10-15% above what they offered. Most companies expect negotiation.

After the Interview

Within 24 hours, send a thank you email to each person who interviewed you. Keep it brief — thank them for their time and mention one specific thing you discussed that excited you.
