When preparing for a job interview, how much time do you typically spend researching the company?

I don't research much—I just show up and answer questions as they come. I spend 10-15 minutes looking at their website and maybe checking social media. I spend about 30 minutes exploring their website, recent news, and company culture. I spend 45+ minutes researching their mission, recent projects, leadership, and industry position.

How comfortable are you answering 'Tell me about yourself' in a structured, compelling way?

I usually ramble or just recite my resume—not very polished. I have a general idea but it's not well-practiced and sometimes feels scripted. I have a solid narrative covering my background, accomplishments, and why I'm interested in the role. I have a polished 60-second pitch that flows naturally and connects my experience directly to the position.

When asked about a challenging situation at work, how do you typically respond?

I give a general answer without specific examples or clear outcomes. I tell a story but it's sometimes unclear how it demonstrates my problem-solving skills. I use a structured approach (situation, action, result) with specific examples. I use the STAR method with detailed examples showing measurable results and what I learned.

What's your approach to following up after an interview?

I don't usually follow up—I just wait to hear back. I send a generic thank-you email a few days later. I send a personalized thank-you email within 24 hours referencing the conversation. I send a personalized thank-you within 24 hours, reference specific discussion points, and reiterate how my skills address their needs.
