- softwaredoug 5y agoIf you’re just chatting with the recruiter, not much to prepare… Just be a genuine person, and try to learn more from the recruiter as well. Don’t take rejection too hard at this level. There’s so many factors at play, ranging from recruiter quality to how this company hires that may preclude a more junior person. Also line up more calls :). The recruiter themselves is probably playing a numbers game for the role. There’s a lot of opportunity out there. The other career switcher I knew hunted for some time before finding a role somewhere that explicitly mentored and grew people in an academy of sorts.
- Karsteski 5y agoI will try to relax and just be inquisitive then, thank you :) I think I have prepared enough today lol
- muzani 5y agoI'd recommend writing down questions that the recruiter asks and then preparing for them for future interviews. Even at a more senior level, the initial chat questions are the same. You shouldn't memorize lines, but it sucks when you get caught by another, "What's your biggest weakness?"
