It's a fools errand to try and predict interview performance. I've been interviewing for a short while now and haven't gotten an offer yet despite feeling really great (and for some, really crappy) about my interviews. Feedback from the interviewers is equally inaccurate. On my most recent interview, I was told that my solution to their coding challenge was one of the best they'd ever seen, and that the feedback so far was extremely positive. Two days later I got the "another direction" email. I don't really take rejection to heart anymore but I hate not knowing what I need to do better.
- ju-st 11y agoI ask myself after a job interview if I really like my potential tasks, the people and the work environment. If "yes", then I will not get the job. If I don't like it then I will get an offer. This metric worked for me the last 5 out of 5 times.
- vdnkh 11y agoI've yet to be met with success but I'm getting closer. I'm refactoring the way I present myself to emphasize the value I bring. I believe I was too focused on how the company could benefit me. Not salary or perks, but mentorship and training since I'm still early in my career. The thing is that I already bring a lot of value - I could definitely bring more, but I failed to emphasize what I already have.
