Hey so you made it to the second
interview congratulations but what the
heck happens at this interview well
today we will talk about it but before
we get into it be sure to subscribe if

why can I never remember that one guys

practical tips to gain career confidence
so let's get started okay so second
interviews can kind of run the gamut but
one thing that tends to happen is
they're normally a little bit more
casual normally they're a bit more about
seeing if you're a good fit for the team
sometimes it's bringing in more team
members just to get to know you so while
it's more casual or more of a get to
know you conversational feel please
still remember it's an interview a big
mistake people make is they start to
kind of over share they get comfortable
and they say things they maybe shouldn't
so remember that even though it's more
conversational it's still an interview
and you need to be professional
now what if they ask you questions that
are similar to what they asked you the
first time
you don't want to give the exact same
answers right then we sound like a
scripted robot you don't want to give
the same answers but you do want to stay
within the same vein so give a an answer
where the story or example is different
but your opinion is the same or the idea
is the same so you want to give a new
example but to the same idea so maybe
it's that you're really in your answer
is something about how you're really
innovative and you gave one example of
something you created last time give a
different thing you created this time so
you don't want to bring up completely
new ideas or completely different things
than what you did last time but you
don't want to bore people by telling
the exact same thing they heard they're
bringing you back to here something a
little different right they don't want
to hear the same thing if they were
gonna hear the same thing that's just a
waste of their time another tip for the
second interview is that you can
reference other people you've talked
with in the company so maybe since the
last interview you spoke more with
someone in HR or one of the members of
that team or somebody else in a
different department about their
experience this is a great chance to
talk about how you know oh I spoke with
so-and-so and they told me this new
project they're working on and that
sounds really interesting to me because
so it's a great way to show that you
have been paying attention to the
company and what's going on now if you
don't know anyone in the company maybe
between the last interview and this one
something came up in the news about them
or they debuted a new product or
something like that if there's anything
like that that you can add in this is a
great opportunity to do so bottom line
just remember to still practice before
this interview think about what more you
want them to know about you how you
still want to show enthusiasm for the
position and keep it professional even
if it might be more conversational so
that is it for today pretty short video
