In an interview, pay attention to how you say things. Don’t just state you helped a frustrated client, use an empathetic tone and sound invested in solving their problem when describing what happened

@Jgwitkowski7 @AlexFinn My thumbs hurt looking at it lol

[Rick Frost @RickFrost412]

Early round interviews are often more screening with late round interviews being more about fit and/or demonstrating core competencies in a project

@orryano 🤣

@orryano I’m passing on it, not part of Barbell and Chill lol

[Rick Frost @RickFrost412]

If you can be tell your story concisely and have 3-5 situations ready to discuss that show you’re a great performer, you will crush your interview

[Rick Frost @RickFrost412]

@McDonaghMatthew Nailed it, stop exclusively playing the game they set up so only they win

[Rick Frost @RickFrost412]

Have your “Tell Me About Your Yourself” question of your job interview so dialed in, that they understand why you want the job even before you mention it

[Rick Frost @RickFrost412]

@Taj353 @TaviCosta They wouldn’t, only people knowledgeable of finance would make they connection

[Rick Frost @RickFrost412]

@adrianviewpoint @orryano Absolutely, overall investors are really spoiled with the bull market of the last 15 years and follow stuff way too much day to day

[Rick Frost @RickFrost412]

@orryano I made it up lol but it’s a good concept of having some upside and not be afraid when the markets crash

[Rick Frost @RickFrost412]

@orryano If possible, than yeah for sure. I think what I've found is that most employers won't allow such an arrangement. And even when you get stock options at a startup, they are so watered down it's hard to get value even in the event your company is sold

[Rick Frost @RickFrost412]

Too many people chasing shiny objects, not enough people asking what is highest form of value I can provide to others?

[Rick Frost @RickFrost412]

Write down and quantify your impact: future employers want specifics and numbers, not just empty platitudes

[Rick Frost @RickFrost412]

@Gusgusgus123456 @randomrecruiter Great point!
