A short advice video by Alli Peck offering three concise interview tips: (1) avoid vague answers—be specific about background, experience, and skills; (2) use nonverbal cues (nod, lean forward) to show engagement; and (3) when negotiating salary, don’t give the first number—ask for the employer’s budget or defer until you know more about the role.
Are you heading into an interview soon? Dodge these common pitfalls to make the best first impression. Mistake number one don't be vague. Avoid general answers. Be really specific about your background, experience and skills. Mistake number two don't ignore the silent skills. Non verbal cues speak volumes, nod to show that you're understanding, and lean slightly forward to show interest. And mistake number three do not give the first number. When negotiating pay, ask them what their budget is. If they can't give you a budget, tell them you'd like to learn a little bit more about the role before you talk numbers. And, as always, good luck.
