Episode: Interviewing 101 (Part II) – From First Impression to Follow-Up

In Part I of Interviewing 101, we talked about everything you need to do before the interview to set yourself up to win.

In this episode, Part II, we dive into the next stage: what to do when you walk into the room, how to handle the interview with confidence, and the key follow-up steps that separate you from the pack.

From arrival to follow-up, Drew walks you through the strategies that can help you turn an interview into an opportunity.

Talking Points in This Episode:
  • Arrival Matters: Why showing up early sets the tone before you say a word.
  • Come Prepared: Have thoughtful questions ready to ask your interviewer.
  • Answering Tough Questions: Strategies for common challenges like:
  • “What’s your biggest weakness?”
  • “Why should we hire you?”
  • “When would you like to start?”
  • Post-Interview Steps: The importance of timely communication—send a thank-you email or handwritten note within 24 hours.
  • Clarity & Confidence: How to keep the conversation two-sided and leave a lasting impression.
