Happy Monday #LinkedIn! I want to cover a topic this morning that I think get's a bit over-looked when it comes to the job-hunting process: Interview Prep. When I'm helping a candidate prep for an interview, I try not to over-complicate it. Stick to a handful of good practices ... and you'll do great. Remember, all interview is is a conversation with a purpose! I'll cover a few do's and don'ts below: Do's: 1) Research the Company: Understand their mission, values, and recent achievements. Show you’re genuinely interested in their journey. 2) Practice Common Questions: Rehearse responses to typical questions like "Tell me about yourself" and "Why do you want to work here?". 3) Prepare Questions: Have insightful questions ready to ask the interviewer. It shows engagement and interest. 4) Dress Appropriately: Whether it’s a suit or business casual, align with the company culture. First impressions count! 5) Arrive Early: Give yourself time to settle in and review your notes before the interview. 5 - 10 minutes early is plenty. Don'ts: 1) Overlook the Job Description: Make sure you understand the role's requirements and how your skills match up. 2) Be Late: Punctuality is a direct reflection of your professionalism. Plan for unexpected delays. 3) Wing It: Preparation is key. Don’t rely on improvisation; it can lead to missed opportunities to highlight your strengths. 4) Badmouth Previous Employers: Keep the focus positive. Criticizing past jobs or colleagues can send the wrong message. 5) Forget to Follow Up: A thank you email after the interview shows appreciation and reinforces your interest in the role. This is one that is often neglected and can be a huge differentiator. Remember: Preparation is more than half the battle won. Go in confident, stay focused, and let your qualifications shine! #InterviewTips #CareerAdvice #JobSearch #ProfessionalGrowth #InsuranceIndustry #WealthManagementIndustry #FinancialServicesIndustry

Things change VERY quickly in this job market and being prepared to pivot (and quickly) is crucial to landing your next great position. There's been multiple studies done that shows your biggest pay increase(s) correlate to a job change. As the old saying goes ... you're not looking until you are!
