So again, it's just another face-to-face meeting with them that I feel is really important. Again, every candidate usually goes through the same type of prep. We go through the same information. And I tell them that you probably did great in this interview, but it's helping you put your best foot forward. And so again, take or leave the information that I share with you here.

So when I get them on a prep call, the first question I ask is, has anything changed since we last talked? I'm listening for, are they in other interview processes? Has their enthusiasm level gotten higher or lower at this point in the process? How much research have they done? Just how are they feeling in general? Are they somebody who typically kind of is more relaxed?

Are they somebody who typically kind of is more relaxed?

Are they somebody who gets really anxious before an interview? Yeah. trying to kind of get in their head a little bit around that. And it also lets me sort of see how much prep work they've actually done so far and how much I need to kind of push them to continue to do more research or look up more stuff or, you know, do you know the names of the people and their titles?

Have you looked at where they went to school? Things like that. We'll go through logistics next. So whether it's virtual or in person, so the who, where, when, how, what's the agenda, you know, all those kinds of things. They're just really aware of what's happening. And then something that I suggest that they do is schedule a call with a friend or family member, somebody they trust.

30 minutes before an interview, somebody that can champion them and give them just some love before their interview. Sometimes it's not necessary if the person's a little bit more relaxed, but if there's any ounce of anxiousness, it's a fun suggestion to just say, hey, Grab a friend and tell them to call you or you call them 30 minutes before and say, you've got this.

That or, you know, I think a lot of times in Thinking Ahead, we talk about, you know, like the power pose or standing in front of the mirror and saying, you've got this, things like that. So I encourage people to do that before and plan it before the interview. So after we've gone through logistics, we talk about the people they'll be meeting with. So what's their background?

What's their personality? What's their style? How do they interview? If you're the first person in an interview versus maybe the fifth person to go through an interview, I may know a little less because I haven't gotten feedback from other candidates about how the interview process went. But it's still good.

But it's still good.

I've now talked with those clients and the folks that they'll be meeting with because I did the client prep. So I've got a little bit more of an understanding on who's going to be somebody that's going to have more energy, who's going to be somebody that maybe asks more questions, is the talkative one, the facilitator, things like that. So I'll be able to just go through that.

And I encourage people, I want them to be authentic in themselves in an interview process because that's going to be how they show up for work every day. But I think it's also super important to balance and match sort of the level of energy that the interviewees are giving off. And, you know, if they're kind of calm, cool, collected, it's probably more so how you should be.

And, you know, if they're kind of calm, cool, collected, it's probably more so how you should be.

But if you've got someone who's high energy, you know, lean into that and also sort of match that energy. So again, authenticity is really important, but I think there's also something to be said about just kind of like a self-aware understanding of who you're with. Okay, the interview questions, you know, what can be expected? What do they need to prepare for?
