to enforce that first impression. But when you bring humanity to it, most people let their guard down. And instead of looking for reasons to enforce the first impression, they will actually look for reasons to see you as you truly want to be represented. Now so far, we've only been talking about a first interview, but what if you get another? Let's talk about some key steps in a second interview.

This is of course what takes place after you've had your initial interview. Now you're coming back for a second one. Usually it's a little bit deeper dive. It can be a little bit less formal because it's kind of like your second date. So here are a couple things that are critical during that time. First and foremost,

This is of course what takes place after you've had your initial interview. Now you're coming back for a second one. Usually it's a little bit deeper dive. It can be a little bit less formal because it's kind of like your second date. So here are a couple things that are critical during that time. First and foremost,

If you are meeting with anybody you have not already met with, even though it's your second interview, it's their first interview. So you need to be very smart and mindful of treating it like it's a first interview. They don't know you. They've obviously or probably heard good things. They know you're interested and they are interested in you. But be smart.

They know you're interested and they are interested in you. But be smart.

You need to make a very strong first impression with them. And I think it's also okay to ask some of the same questions you asked in the first interview. Hey, I was talking with such and such last week. He mentioned this. I'd love to hear your thoughts on it.

This is actually going to serve you incredibly well because you'll be able to see, hey, is there consistency in the organization with their answers or are there some discrepancies to which you'd want to find out for sure? Now, let's say you're actually meeting with the same person and it truly is a second interview.

While usually this can be a little bit more of an informal meeting, this is where oftentimes I see candidates get a little bit too relaxed too soon. I'll use a dating analogy. Second date, you guys had a good first date, second date comes up. You want to be smart. You still want to play the part to a certain degree, if you will.

The second date isn't where you reveal, oh, hey, by the way, I'm so glad we're meeting again. Here's all my baggage. It's just not going to work. You want to be smart, but again, it is the time when you can kind of be a little bit more relaxed. What is critical is that you ask good questions that show you heard what was said in the first one and you're following up.

Hope this helps and good luck on your interview.

Hi, this is Stephanie Moss, partner with Thinking Ahead Search Firm. Today, I wanna talk to you about recent experiences I've had working with folks in the marketplace who candidly were quite happy in their current situation But they had noticed because they had been with their current organization, their compensation had become incongruent with what the rest of the market was bearing.

Oftentimes, what most people think is, hey, I'm 20 to 25 percent less than my peers or recent hires. I need to go out and get a counteroffer. to make sure I get another offer from another organization, tell my current organization about it, and that's the only way that I'm going to get caught up.
