Ask a Recruiter: What's the Number 1 Thing I Should Do to Prepare for My Next Interview?

"Be prepared to share the versatility you gained in each of your roles. Some hiring managers request candidates to be able to "wear a bunch of hats," which is why I always suggest sharing your various skills throughout the interview to set you apart." - Zach, Senior Technical Recruiter

We were so excited to host our Operations team in Chicago this year! From training sessions and connecting with teammates from around the US to an architectural boat tour and dinner to wrap it all up - it was definitely a day to remember. We can’t wait for next year!?
