Job Interview Do's and Don'ts: What a Hiring Manager REALLY Wants to Hear

Acing an interview involves more than just showcasing your skills. It's also about understanding what NOT to say. Here are key takeaways from a seasoned hiring manager:

Key takeaways:

  • Avoid negativity about past jobs: Focus on what excites you about the new opportunity instead of dwelling on past challenges. Highlight your strengths and transferable skills.

  • Wait to discuss personal needs: Bringing up parental leave, medical needs, or vacations early in the interview can raise unintended biases. Discuss these later in the hiring process when the employer is more invested in your candidacy.

  • Express a genuine passion for the role: While compensation and benefits are important, prioritize showcasing your enthusiasm for the company's work and potential impact. Focus on what you bring to the table rather than what you expect to get.

Why this matters: In today's competitive job market, standing out requires strategic communication. This advice equips you with valuable insights to navigate interviews effectively and land your dream jobs. By understanding what hiring managers truly value, you can present yourself as confident, capable, and passionate candidates.

Looks like the Bank of Canada is holding intrest rates steady.

Love that for us!

See the thread below.

Gen Z and younger Millennials are no longer interested in climbing the corporate ladder, prioritizing work life balance and mental health over a bigger paycheck with more responsibilities.

What will it mean for the business models we’ve always known, if the new generation doesn’t want to be in charge? Will it change corporate structures?
