I have been on both sides of the interview table more times than I can count. More recently, on the candidate side, looking for ways to replace income lost due to COVID-19. After participating in an "interview" this morning, I heard--okay, well this concludes the interview. In real time, I thought, what am I doing? All that happened was rapid-fire questions at me. Now this wasn't the fault of the interviewer, they were doing their job, they were pleasant, but it was not an interview. It was at best an assessment. I realized, this is not the way, at least not for me. Interviews are not and should not be one-sided. If the are, then you can't expect the work to be much different. For anyone currently looking for work, part-time, full time, career pivot, first job out of school--remember your worth. You get to be part of the interview. You get to ask questions, ask about culture, ask about strengths and weaknesses, ask about where the company will be in 3 years. And if you don't, unless the work is a stop-gap to help pay the bills, you are likely better off to say, thanks, but no thanks. Remember your worth, remember interviews go both ways, remember you bring value to table. If you ever forget, or get stuck--please reach out!
