My 18 interviewing tips video is still one of the most popular things I’ve made. Here’s a quick refresher on top of it, for how interviews work today:

  • Video interviews: test your camera and sound, light your face from the front, and look at the camera when you answer.
  • AI-screened interviews: answer the actual question, use specific examples, and keep it conversational. Practice out loud.
  • Research: know the company’s latest news and the interviewer’s background.
  • Stories: have three short success stories ready, each with a clear result.
  • Questions: bring two or three smart questions about the role and team.
  • Follow-up: send a thank-you note the same day.

Follow Joe’s advice and you’ll put your best foot forward. And you will strut when you get the offer!
