The basics apply to these interviews: Professional dress, eye contact, be early and attentive.Yes, doing research on the company is imperative. You need to know everything that is available about the company, their history and anything else that might be pertinent. In your research, prepare some questions; they may be answered during the interview but do not be afraid of saying. "I had a question about that but you addressed it already".You need three questions to have ready in your mind or written down. Come prepared to take notes but do not let that distract you from your focus.Do NOT ask about vacation days and time off; these are questions for the follow-up appointment.Always send a classy, hand written thank you note. A lost art.

A comunicação é a habilidade das habilidades, é a softskill mais importante, principalmente em segmentos tão técnicos como no segmento imobiliário corporativo, onde reportar temas técnicos a diversos stakeholders, seja interno ou externo, logo e fundamental que essa comunicação seja realizada de forma que o outro entenda de forma clara e assertiva o que está sendo dito.Quando se trata de entrevista a mesma máxima ainda é válida, expressar de forma e concisa e fundamental, lembrando sempre que a comunicação é feita para que o outro entenda a mensagem que se quer passar.

Think outside the box when following up…For example: During your research prior to the interview, discover what pain points the company is looking to solve by adding the position. During your interactions with the hiring team, ask a few discovery questions to confirm their pain points.After the interview, follow up with a written plan, like a “30-60-90,” to show how you would go about solving those pain points.

Don’t overthink it. It’s literally that simple. Know your worth, understand the opportunity, and let the facts speak for itself. Dont downtalk yourself afterwards by putting words in their mouth that they never actually said… and don’t let your anxiety speak for you.
