There’s a lot of work that goes into being offered a job interview in the development sector, especially in a highly competitive market. But even when you feel like you're giving all the right answers, job offers often remain elusive.
In many cases, this is because many job seekers make a fundamental mistake, treating interviews like tests and cramming for every possible question, according to executive coach Dan Freehling.
Effective interviewing preparation is “much more akin to sports performance [and] theater performance than it is to the traditional cramming and studying for a test, and trying to please the teacher,” Freehling said during a recent Devex digital event on how to prepare for your next development job interview.
