Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

My little tips: Look up the company: try understand its business, look up its share price, see if they have a press/news/blog section for any recent contracts they may have won etc.
Read the JD to pick out all the skills/values for STAR style answers e.g. if they say “must have great communication skills” make sure you have an example of when you used communication skills to solve a problem, explain why the problem was hard to solve, and the impacts of you solving it.
Think up 2 good questions! Not wages or holiday pay or whatever, but something relevant to the job/company. I like to ask about workplace culture and things.
I wouldn’t discuss wages at the interview unless prompted, I’d do that down the line, but make sure you know your worth, and go a bit high to negotiate down to what you’d be happy with, if they do bring it up in the interview.
Otherwise best of luck comrade! Work hard on the interview. Get the job. Then slack off immediately, do the bare minimum at work to get by!
Can confirm this is a good idea
