But where do you start?<\/p>\n<p>Based on my experience as an ex-recruiter and HR manager, preparing for your first round interview is pretty straightforward because they almost always are with a recruiter and they generally have the same standardized questions. Once you learn how to read between the lines and master these questions, getting to the next round will be a breeze.<\/p>\n<p>Watch this video to learn what those 3 questions are and how to nail them.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\"><strong>Tell Me About Yourself<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>What sounds like an existential question, is actually the recruiter wanting to know if your experiences and skills align with the role. The common mistake here is to give a step by step walkthrough of all the experiences on your resume, which they already have!<\/p>\n<p><fbs-ad position=\"inread\" progressive=\"\" ad-id=\"article-0-inread\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"presentation\"><\/fbs-ad><\/p>\n<p>Instead of giving a rundown of your experience by simply reading out your resume, I suggest using this 3-step formula: hook + interesting details + wrap up. First, give a broad overview of who you are and why you enjoy this type of work. Next, add some details about your achievements and successful projects \u2014 don\u2019t forget to mention metrics! And finally, wrap it up by sharing your interest in the role.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\"><strong>Why This Role Or Company<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It is important for the recruiter to know your genuine interest in the company and\/or the role you\u2019re applying to. The last thing they want is to have someone who doesn\u2019t take the job seriously and ends up becoming a liability to the company.<\/p>\n<p>Make sure you\u2019ve done your research about the company, their founders, mission and vision, products, and maybe some news about them. Being genuinely interested doesn\u2019t have to mean knowing every nook and cranny, but giving an answer that shows you know the company is a good sign that you would bring value to the team.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"subhead-embed color-accent bg-base font-accent font-size text-align\"><strong>What Makes You a Good Fit<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>This question simply means that the recruiter wants to know if you have the right skills for the job. To answer this well, be sure to study the job description and pinpoint the specific skills that are required. Align the necessary skills to your previous experiences and it\u2019ll surely give the impression that you will be the right person for the role.<\/p>\n<p>Study and prepare for these 3 questions to get to the next round!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/shodewan\/2023\/10\/13\/master-the-3-questions-you-will-always-get-in-your-first-round-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They say luck favors the prepared, so when you get your chance for your first round interview \u2014 you better get ready!
