The Interview Hack You're Missing

It's like a First Date

There’s something you need to know.

Job interviews aren’t just to show you’ve got the skills.

It’s like a date – you have to see if there’s a vibe.

When I searched for my first data science job, I got 5 interviews.

But I only got one offer.

In the search for my current job, I tried something different.

I researched the interviewer, found similarities between us and subtly mentioned them.

It was my only interview –  it was great fun and I got the job!

Finding common ground isn’t new – every man and their dog is trying to do in the DMs.

What you’ve been neglecting is finding companies and colleagues you vibe with, instead of LinkedIn easy applying to every job just to ‘get in your foot in the door’.

Finding companies you vibe with is how you get a Data Science Job you actually like!

And you find companies you vibe with by taking a Tailored approach to your Data Science Job Hunt.

You think about what type of companies you want to work for, then you research them and the people who work there.

If you don’t find companies you vibe with you’ll end up gagging to quit your job – like I was in my first role.

But when you vibe with the company, you actually look forward to work, have fun chats with your manager and get cool projects to work on!

And to top it off, I’ve got Conference in South Africa to look forward to.

So don’t spam applications - Think about where you want to work, do some research and bring some first date charm to your interviews.

Happy Tuesday and God Bless
