ADVICE

Ask Deeper Questions In Second Interviews

  • In second interviews ask more and deeper questions, but keep under five so you don't seem interrogative.
  • Use this time to clarify role specifics like day-to-day, team size, and manager expectations.
ADVICE

Let Your Personality Shine

  • Let your personality show more in round two with light professional humor and personal details.
  • Humanize yourself with hobbies or volunteer work that could resonate with the team.
ADVICE

Close By Asking For Next Steps

  • Close stronger in the second interview by asking about next steps and expressing readiness to start.
  • Use language like “based on my experience…what is our next step?” to push toward the job without overdoing it.
