Interview Tips

You know that awkward moment in an interview when it’s clear the job isn’t a fit for you or the hirer but the convo keeps dragging? Happened to me last week, and I had no clue how to wrap it up gracefully. What's a polite way to end things without burning bridges right there and then? Something better than my awkward, ‘Thanks, I’ll think about it!’ but still professional. Help me not cringe through the next one!

I’m preparing for a big interview, and I’ve been wondering...during interviews in Singapore, is it okay to use some Singaporean slang or is it better to stick to proper English? I mean, sometimes using local terms like "lah" or "lor" feels more natural to me, but I’m worried it might make me come across as unprofessional. Would love to hear your thoughts on whether using our local lingo is acceptable or if it’s better to tone it down and just speak in formal English.

That moment recruiter asked me that typical “Do you have any questions for me?” at the end of an interview, my mind just goes blank. I know I’m supposed to ask something, but as a fresh grad, I don’t even know what I should be curious about. I don’t want to ask something too basic and look unprepared, but also don’t want to ask something irrelevant and embarrass myself. What are some good questions that actually impress recruiters and show I’m serious about the role?

Some interviews feel like an interrogation. “Where do you see yourself in 5 years?” Bro, I just want a job that pays rent. 😩 Then there are those interviewers who already made up their minds but still waste your time. If you’ve ever had an interview that unexpectedly went well, what did you do differently? Any secret hacks to turn a boring Q&A into a real conversation? And how do you deal with red-flag interviewers without looking like you’re “not a team player”? Sorry, asking too much.

Had an interview last week, and halfway through I knew the job wasn’t for me. The role wasn’t what I expected, and the way they described about the job scope just felt off. But instead of ending it gracefully, I sat through the whole thing, nodding awkwardly. Lastly they asked me if I had questions, I just said “Thanks, I’ll think about it!” before making my escape. Definitely not the smoothest exit. I didnt practice it well actually but yeah i guess not my loss either

Job interviews can be a real test of nerves, especially when they hit you with a question you have absolutely no answer to. I’ve been there...sitting across from the interviewer, trying not to panic. I used to think admitting “I don’t know” would make me look bad, but over time, I realized it’s all about how you say it. Instead of freezing up, I try to acknowledge the question, share what I do know, and show how I’d figure it out. Confidence matters more than having all the answers!

Serious question! if you’re running late for an interview on the day itself, is it acceptable to ask to reschedule, or should you just assume your chance is gone? 😬 Sometimes things happen... traffic jams, sudden emergencies, or even getting lost, but I’m not sure how hiring managers see it. Would rescheduling make me look unprofessional, or is honesty still the best policy here? Anyone been in this situation before?

Have you ever negotiated your salary during the first interview? 🤔 I’ve been wondering if it’s a bold move or totally out of line. I once tried, and it felt like I was walking a fine line between being confident and coming off as pushy. And I can tell from the interviewer's face, she's not comfortable & annoyed. But is it considered rude to talk salary upfront, or is it something that shows you know your worth? How did it go for you if you’ve tried it?
