What questions should you ask at your interview?

Asking about organizational culture allows you to understand what the business represents and how it aligns with your own personal goals. You are joining a team and learning more about them is important! #interviewquestions

Whether you are waiting in the lobby of a business or the lobby of a virtual call, being early matters. By being 5-10 minutes early you let interviewers know you are prepared, professional, and care about the job opportunity. #jobsearch #interview

Networking is about making connections, and what better way to connect with new acquaintances than asking about their career and personal development.

Cultivating relationships will open new doors to mentorship, job opportunities and even further business connections.

Practice makes perfect. When you put in the effort to attend workshops, recite your professional elevator pitch and conduct practice interviews you become more confident and positive!

By putting in the work you show interviewers that you are ready and capable!

It can be uncomfortable meeting new people in an interview. Creating a connection with your interviewers will make a world of difference. A proper introduction can put everyone at ease and allow for follow up questions to get to know each other better. #interviewtip #interview

"Fake it until you make it" is all about confidence. Confidence in your abilities, your character and yourself. Interviewers can pick up on this and always appreciate a candidate who believes in themself. #jobsearch #confidence

Today is #WorldMentalHealthDay! Job searching, interviewing, networking, finding a mentor and improving your skills are strenuous and mentally taxing efforts. Be kind to yourself while you pursue your goals and know you are doing your best!

Elevator pitches are an introduction to who you are, taking the same amount of time as it would meeting someone in an elevator. (Think 60-90 seconds). It is a fast and effective way for people to get to know you in a short amount of time! #networking #elevatorpitch #jobsearch

"Even if you are missing two of the qualities it is not something that you can't learn!" Not having all the qualifications shouldn't stop you from applying for a job. By letting employers know you are open to learning on the job you can show that you are a dedicated applicant!
