Youโve applied, youโve interviewedโฆ and then nothing. No second stage. No offer. Just frustration.
Often, itโs not that you couldnโt do the job - itโs how you presented yourself in that first conversation. Hereโs the feedback Iโve heard most often from hiring managers:
1. ๐๐๐ ๐ฎ๐ ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ฐ๐๐ซ๐ฌ
- One of the most frequent comments is: โThey talked a lot, but I still donโt know what they actually did.โ
- Be specific. Share a project, what you personally delivered, and the outcome. Structure makes your experience more memorable. Use the ๐๐๐๐ method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure your answers.
โ
Be specific: โI delivered X project that achieved Y resultโ lands much better than โI was involved in lots of projects.โ
2. ๐๐๐๐ค ๐จ๐ ๐ฉ๐ซ๐๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง
- Hiring managers spot this instantly. Research the company, the role, and the people youโre meeting. A bit of research shows effort - and effort stands out.
3. ๐๐จ๐จ๐ซ ๐ฌ๐ญ๐ซ๐ฎ๐๐ญ๐ฎ๐ซ๐
- Waffling or going off track is a killer. Keep your answers clear and to the point. Think about setting the context, explaining your actions, and ending with the result.
4. ๐๐ง๐๐๐ซ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ๐๐ฅ๐
โI was involved inโฆโ can undersell your contribution. Own your work! โI deliveredโ or โI achievedโ shows confidence, not arrogance.
First stage interviews arenโt about perfection. Theyโre about showing who you are, what youโve achieved, and how you can add value.
