Anything more than two interviews is probably a waste of everyone's time. Most interviews are likely to be unstructured and conducted by folks who have no training in good methodology, which is why interviewer bias is still reflected in hiring patterns. Applicant experience still counts for something and will be borne out in a good interview, but people who are hired are likely to be *people who are good at interviews.* https://lnkd.in/eEZDFCGD #hiring #interviews #uxresearch

A bit of advice to those still on the job hunt... Take as many interviews as possible. If the job aligns with your scope of interest in work, take the interview. Even if you are onto the final interview with a company, apply again and again and be promptly responsive if you get an interview chance at another. You should not be relying on "got one or two I am banking on" approach. It will never hurt to have a back-up, or fall-back plan, even if it isn't your top choice, but fits everything else. I still had two interviews lined up when I got the offer I accepted. You never know, and you should treat the process in that fashion. Stay hungry until you get what you want!

I was asked an unusual logical question at one of my job interviews, and I wondered who would answer it and how (just don't look at each other's answers!)): Imagine there are two rooms, one has three light bulbs, the other has 3 switches, you are standing in the one with the switches. you can only look into the room with the light bulbs once.  You need to figure out which light bulb is activated by which switch. What do you do?

What you learn in the first round of interviews can land you a job. First you have to listen-- what are the companies struggles, what are their goals, and why are they hiring. Then take this info to organize your work experience and how you could be the solution to their problems.

Your Unique Selling Point is your ticket to standing out in interviews. What makes you different? Maybe it's places you’ve worked, projects you’ve led, or research you’ve done. Use your USPs to show why you're the right fit for the job.

What do you think? You didn't fail, You came to know what you need to work on! #Job interviews can be tough, but that doesn't mean you failed if you didn't get the job 🙌 Every #interview is an opportunity to #learn and grow 🌲 . ----- If you don't get the job, don't be discouraged. Instead, take some time to reflect on your interview and identify any areas where you can improve. Then, use that knowledge to prepare for your next interview.----

Marathon interviews with multiple people and panels is a recipe for torpedoing top talent by due-diligence. Interviews are primarily about vetting soft skills since hard skills and experience have already passed muster or you wouldn't be interviewing them. You don't need more interviews you need more job fit data.
