Struggling to balance hiring manager and candidate expectations?
It's normal to feel in between the fires. This is when the recruitment magic happens: - What are the top priorities of your hiring manager? Hire fast? Hire the candidate with X set of skills. Hire a candidate who can do Y task now. Then we move to a candidate: - What are the top priorities of your candidate? Salary? Acquiring new skills? Getting a bigger role they have? When you understand it, try and match those. Your HM needs a candidate NOW - then you may be able to make a case for a higher salary for a candidate who is a fit. Your hiring manager wants to find someone NOW - then a candidate who wants a bigger scope could be excited to step into a critical space. Tip: ask, don't guess

What do you do if you're asked "Why do you want to work for this company?
Even if you do not think that you are applying for THE job of your lifetime, there is always a chance to find how your personal values are aligned with the values of the company. But to do that you need to: a) know what is important to you. Could be environment, seniority, salary, mission anything like that. b) you should ask what is important to the company. Avoid super basic questions like "What's your mission". For that, you should check the website. Try to understand what is the ultimate goal for a year, or what is a big challenge that they try to solve now or in a few years. What's the impact that they want to have? Then bring their inspirations to yours and explain how those two could co-exist together in the impact you will create.

What do you do if you want to impress employers with your problem-solving skills in an interview?
While explaining what was the issue, it's worth explaining why you thought it was an issue that had to be solved. Did it have an impact on strategy, outcomes, and deadlines? By showcasing your ability to understand not only the problem itself but also its scale, reflects your seniority and maturity in the role. After you uncovered that, worth sharing a bit more about different ways you could have solved it and why you chose the way that you did. AND, share the outcome of this solution that you brought to life.

You’re preparing for a job interview. What are the most creative ways to impress your interviewer?
Sometimes simplicity beats anything, and I think interview is one of those times. Instead of spending time on thinking how to stand out from the crowd with "unique presentation / portfolio", I would suggest spending this time and trying to understand what the company is looking for and prepping to explain how you experiences match those needs. If you have a clear picture what they need, you have much better chance to convey how YOU are the best candidate. I have seen it many times, folks would do outstanding things, but at the debrif it all comes down to what "we need" and what "they bring as skills" and those extra things come only as "it was nice, but let's choose the candidate who gave the best answers".
