Interview tips?

[Focalize]

Idk about typical cs interviews (you never look at the bulletin boards or random walls for mock interview sessions do you, I saw a poster right beside the dropboxes) but here's what I took away from some career training events.

Anyway for a typical business interview dress appropriately to make a good expression; for people in the industry of corporate greed, we usually show up in a suit. Shave or something, I know it's hard for uni students but try to look neat. The more your dress shirt contrasts with the colour of the suit the more professional so make a judgement. The last time I visited Google, (awesome) people were working in jeans so idk business casual might work. Yes nail that handshake,do it before you sit down, pls don't stare into the interviewer's eyes weird, but maintain a natural eye contact to tell them that you're listening and interested the whole time; don't make anime/bl references or witty puns or talk about cats, answer questions concisely (don't ramble on), don't sound like you're perfect, do sell yourself and talk about what you've gained from experiences, show that you're a team player etc. show interest/passion, if you have to fake it do so, but the job itself does sound interesting, do some research and be honest abt what interests you in that company. Then prepare for the most common non-technical interview questions like "tell me about yourself, what are your strengths and weaknesses, where do you see yourself in five years" stuff like that. For the weaknesses you list out don't just leave them at that, talk constructively about how you can improve. I personally don't find interviews as intimidating as public speaking which I had to do like 2 days ago, didn't go too badly but I'd rather have a conversation with an interviewer and have that channel of feedback as reassurance. End the interview with another handshake after asking all your questions. The interviewer is also human and (s)he doesn't bite, so just be professional, friendly, show that you're passionate and willing to learn, and know your technical stuff too.

good luck and happy year of the unicorns
