First Interview Tips: 7 MISTAKES to AVOID (to get a Second Interview)
In this video, I am giving away 7 First Interview Tips to help you get to the second round, and a job offer along the way.
Getting a First Round interview can be super stressful if you don't know how to handle it.
But simply preparing it is not enough. Many candidates repeat the same errors again and again, which keep preventing them from passing to the second round of interviews.
So here are 7 mistakes to avoid in your next interview:
1. Not Checking Glassdoor Reviews
If you check reviews before buying online, why aren't you doing the same thing with companies?
2. Not Looking at the Interviewer's LinkedIn Profile
How are you supposed to have a great conversation when you don't know anything about your interviewer?
3. Not Knowing Enough About the Company
You need to personalize your answers to this specific company if you want to succeed.
4. Not treating everyone with respect
Remember, everyone is interviewing you when you get inside the company building, not just HR managers.
5. Don't Act Too Desperate
Show that you're confident and you'll be more wanted.
6. Not being flexible enough
Know exactly what need from a job, it will help you negotiate better and not miss out on great opportunities.
7. Not Sending a Thank you Email
This one is still underrated, but sending a thank-you email can up your chance of getting another interview.

Thank you Pedro!
1 thing for the thank you email. I feel awkward when I ask the interviewer for their emails. Is it weird to say “i would like to have your email to say thank you”? Or are there any tips to ask for their info politely without being weird?

Usually you will already have their emails because how did they contact you to invite you for the interview? If they invited you over the phone, you will surely have their names! A quick search on LinkedIn will be enough to find their email. If that doesn't work, then use tools like mailscoop.io that lets you put names of people and their company and the tool will aromatically give you their emails! :)
Great tips you have. A question for the part you mentioned not being needy. From my perspective, you have PwC in your CV which can make you more valuable and using "hard to get psychology" as an advantage. Do you still recommend this strategy when applying Big4? In my opinion, I feel like perceived as neediness means willingness to work hard and adapt to any situation. What is your thought? Thanks in advance.

I understand what you mean! There a fine line between being needy and showing motivation! You just need to know where it becomes "too much". Expressing how motivated you are to start is great, but saying things like "I can do anything for you" shows neediness!

I didn’t send a thank you email 😌😌.
I'm not sure about the thank you email really makes you look desperate
