Have a Conversation – with the Hiring Manager

Last night was Praxis Wednesday, and it was a interview seminar with Johnny Roccia. Johnny is a hiring manager who helps us Praxians learn about how best to interview. 

He’s so down to earth while providing practical advice as well. 

The main takeaway I had from last night’s conversation was to have a conversation with the interviewer. The more you can show personality and “vibe” with them the better off you are. After all, they want to hire someone, they just need to know if you’re that person or not.  

You can add on to your conversation stand out questions, as well as  personal questions for the interviewer. 

Something that stood out to me was that Johnny mentioned that you can even ask about staying in the running for the role even if you’ve been rejected. There’s no reason not to, really!

Praxis has not only changed how I pursue roles, it has changed how I plan to interview. In the grand scheme of things it has changed my life. After every call, even if they are a bit long sometimes, I walk away with new information that is genuinely helpful to me. So thanks @discoverpraxis
